The results were that the chance of developing a cold correlated with stress index scores. The life event lowered the immune function and increased vulnerability to the virus. However there were several problems with this research, one of which was that it was an indirect study- there was no direct measure of the immune system for example no blood test or medical test was taken as evidence. Consequently we cannot determine how far the participant’s immune system was affected in relation to the stress. Another key problem was that there were was no direct manipulation of the independent variable so the study doesn’t tell us which element of the stress index is most important and related to the decrease in immune function.
Botox is not effective for wrinkles caused by sun damage or those caused by the effects of gravity. It may also be used to treat severe underarm perspiration (hyperhydrosis) that has not responded to other treatments. Other uses for Botox are currently being investigated including use for prostate symptoms in men with enlarged prostate and for treating symptoms in patients with migraine headaches. There is essentially no recovery period and little or no bruising, bleeding, or pain after the procedure. Normal activities can be resumed without interruption.
She showed no signs of getting better. In fact, her condition was just deteriorating. Tracy Latimer's life wasn't just not beneficial, it created immense suffering. Her pain could not be treated by anything stronger than a Tylenol. This is where the true answer to the morality of Robert Latimer's actions lie; which caused more suffering for Tracy Latimer, life or death?
The toxins may range from the most powerful neurotoxin: botulism toxin, to biological agents, such as anthrax or plague. Furthermore, these Biological agents cannot be recognized through any odor or color and can be in the form of either liquid or powder. The indication of chemical attack includes sufferers showing signs such as nausea, difficulty in breathing, convulsions, and disorientation. Furthermore, the other key symptoms include unusual liquid sprays or vapors, death of animals in the area without any reason. There is nothing like one stop solution to Chemical attack, however there are few precautions which we can take during and after the chemical attack in order to prevent the effect of the chemical effect.
If you catch a cold it is hard for your body to fight the cold because your numbers are so low. No one can predict how sarcoidosis will progress in a person. William C Shiel Jr. “What we don’t know about sarcoidosis” 8. The chest X-ray is often helpful to give the doctor a picture of the lungs, heart, as well as the surrounding tissues containing lymph nodes where infection-fighting white blood cells form and give the first indication of sarcoidosis. For example, a swelling of the lymph glands between the two lungs can show up on an X-ray.
The overwhelmingly negative results in studies about the efficacy in Echinacea in treating and preventing the common cold show that it is indeed no better than any other alternative medication. However, not much research has been shown about the effects of the herb on other illnesses. There have been suggestive studies on the positive effect of Echinacea on cancers and skin conditions, but there is little research to prove either side. Perhaps in the future a better use of this herb can be found that may benefit many people around the
“EEG or MRI readings” are not a good way to determine an ASC. (qtd. Carroll,1) If we used an EEG or an MRI to determine an ASC then we would start saying things like sneezing, coughing, sleeping, being in a coma, thinking of the color red, and being dead as ASC’s . Brain wave readings are not a good way of measuring ASC’s. Alpha waves have had some measure of success finding ASC’s, such as “The Zone” or “Flow State”.
* * 2. What are at least two opinions presented by each side of the critical issue? * * Cotton and Devilly stress that Critical incident stress debriefing (CISD) is not explained properly and research has proven that CISD does not give patients the results needed. * Devilly and Cotton also stated that Critical incident stress management (CISM) is also not properly explained in the treatment of traumatized individuals, which makes the process ineffective (Halgin, 2007). * Mitchell’s opinion is that Devilly and Cotton display a lack of knowledge within the text of CISM because no reference to this literature is stated by the authors.
The placebo effect is the measurable, observable, or felt improvement in health or behavior not attributable to a medication or invasive treatment that has been administered. A placebo is a pharmacologically inert substance, such as saline solution or a starch tablet, which seems to produce an effect similar to what would be expected of a pharmacologically active substance, such as an antibiotic. The placebo effect is often a controversial topic in the medical field, as scientists cannot agree on the validity of the effect and whether it is an effective treatment or not. In the articles written by Ted J. Kaptchuk, and Eliezer Sobel, both authors review and comment on the placebo effect and through use of ethos, pathos, and logos appeals, argue the legitimacy of the effect. While both articles are written in different fashions, they both have different target audiences.
Cognitive impairment may potentially lead to inaccurate symptom reporting, noncompliance, and delayed or inadequate treatment. It is still a challenge to formalize the identification and measurement of comorbidity for research purpose and so far no standard approach to assess comorbidity existed [127,130]. A variety of assessment techniques have been used for measurement of comorbidity. The most basic measurement of comorbidity is a sum of the number of coexisting medical conditions [129]. Although the arithmetical sum of coexisting medical conditions cannot predict how comorbidity will affect functional status [129].
