Latin and Its Influence on English Language
Latin is one of the most ancient languages and even now it is widely used almost in various fields such as: medicine, learning, science, technology, etc. Latin has been influencing English throughout its history. Its authority on English was profound as the Roman army and merchants gave new names to local objects such as: pise 'pea', catte 'cat', cetel 'kettle', candel 'candle' and a numerous number of other common words. The influence of Latin on Old English was profound because Latin was considered the language of a highly developed civilization. For several hundred years, while the Germanic Tribe who became the English were still occupying their home land, they had various relations with...

This is a chronic neurological disorder that affects nearly 10% of all school age children in the United States today.ADHD is characterized by three types of behaviors - hyperactivity, distractibility, and impulsiveness. These behavioral characteristics can be controlled by counseling, behavioral therapy and medication. Since ADHD is connected to a chemical imbalance in the brain, medications such as hydrochloride and dextroamphetamine are necessary to correct it.Causes of ADHDThe primary cause of ADHD is relatively unknown to most experts.

Your Most Important Resolution for 2006 is to Take Personal Security on the Internet Seriously
There is already a lot being said about malware (Trojans, viruses, worms, etc.) and attempts to obtain your cash, personal identity, usernames and passwords through various frauds and phishing schemes.

Horner's Syndrome: A Medical Discovery from the American Civil War
Unequally sized pupils in combination with a drooping eyelid on the side of the smaller pupil and decreased sweating on the same side of the face is known as Horner's syndrome, named for Johann Friedrich Horner, a Swiss ophthalmologist who wrote up a case in 1869. When present, Horner's syndrome indicates interruption of the sympathetic nervous system on that side of the body and is still a valuable tool in modern diagnosis.The sympathetic nervous system helps govern various functions outside conscious control, like pulse, blood pressure, sweating, etc. The portion of the sympathetic pathway influencing the eyes and face follows a convoluted pathway that starts in the brain and flows down through...

Death, Aging, Rejuvenation (Part 2)
DeathDeath. Why it happens? Why do we die? Why do animals die? Why do plants die? What is the need of this? In my opinion mechanism of death was selected during Evolution.From the position of Darwin's theory of Natural Selection everything, that benefits survival of species and gives advantage in Natural Selection, is preserved in following generations.Improvements were often left unchanged from the moment of life appearance. Though there could be other ways, certain mechanisms were accidentally selected. These improvements are reproduced in the genome of more complex species. Billions of years ago, according to the theory of evolution, chemicals randomly organized themselves into a self-replicating...

What is Down Syndrome?
Every year, one child in every 800 to 1,000 births will be born with a condition known as Down syndrome. Down syndrome is a disorder in which the child has extra genetic material. This extra genetic material causes the baby to develop differently in the womb. This abnormal development occurs during the early stages of cell division, soon after conception.There is no known reason for Down syndrome or a cure for it.The disorder came by its name when an English physician, John Langdon Down, published a description of the characteristics of a person with the condition in 1886. Since Dr. Down was the first person to give the syndrome a name, the disorder is known as Down syndrome.The Common Forms of...

Alzheimer's Disease a Prion?
You may be wondering what a prion is and why you should care. Well, your ears might perk up a lot if you hear the words - 'Mad Cow Disease'. That disease is caused by a transmissible prion.Prion related diseases have been recognized for years. However, until recently we did not realize what caused them.What we did know about them is that they caused dementia. People gradually lost their ability to reason and remember things. We also noticed that there were typical changes in the brain when looked at during autopsy.Prions became famous when Kuru was found among the Fore people of New Guinea. In this disease, people would get unsteady gait, tremors, and slurred speech. The interesting thing was that...

What You Need to Know About HIV
HIV is an abbreviation for Human Immunodeficiency Virus. Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome or AIDS as it is generally called, is the result of this virus. When a person has AIDS, the immune system gradually break downs. The patient then becomes highly susceptible to infections and illnesses, which could even, be fatal. History dates its origin to June 5th 1981 in Los Angeles where the virus was found in five homosexual men. It was then called GRID or Gay-Related Immune Deficiency because people thought it only affected homosexual people. This theory was soon blown to pieces when cases were reported from all over. Today, AIDS has reached epidemic proportions. It has plagued most countries around the...
Babies: How to Get Your Children Excited About the New Arrival
The sudden appearance of a new baby can be rough on the other children in the family. Daily routines are disrupted and suddenly mom and dad are too busy to pay attention to older siblings. Worst of all, the new baby is the instant star of the family - the center of attention. The adorable baby is the big attraction for everyone from mom and dad, to visiting relatives, to casual acquaintances bumped into at the mall, right down to strangers on the street. Everyone is talking baby talk, cooing at the new baby, and making a fuss over the newborn. The older kids may feel shunted aside and resentful. This is especially true for the displaced former baby of the family.Given these...
Causes of Cystic Fibrosis
Cystic fibrosis is a life-threatening disease caused by a defective gene and affecting about 30,000 children in America. There is no cure for it so far, but there are lots of promising experiments and clinical studies going on to find a genetic therapy to cure cystic fibrosis.Humans transmit the genetic code to the next generation through DNA, containing 23 pairs of chromosomes. The seventh chromosome contains the defective gene that causes cystic fibrosis. There are over ten million Americans who this defective gene without having the disease. When both parents are carriers there is a 25% chance that the child will have a recessive gene; that is, the child has two copies of the defective gene from...
Fetal Alcohol Syndrome
The ill effects of alcohol consumed during pregnancy causes a pattern of mental and physical defects in some unborn babies, known as Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. Fetal alcohol syndrome was named in 1973 by two dysmorphologists, Kenneth Lyons Jones and David W. Smith of the University of Washington Medical School in Seattle.In the United States, there are more babies born with fetal alcohol syndrome than HIV or Downs Syndrome. A child born with FAS may be seriously handicapped, possibly requiring a lifetime of special care. Most of the disabilities of FAS are caused by a pregnant woman consuming alchohol between the 10th and the 20th week of pregnancy.Alcohol interferes with the ability of the fetus to...
Can Magnetic Therapy Help Sufferers of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?
What is chronic fatigue syndrome?We all get tired. Many of us have felt depressed at times. But the mystery known as chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is not like the normal ups and downs we experience in everyday life. The early sign of this illness is a strong and noticeable fatigue that comes on suddenly and often comes and goes or never stops. You sometimes feel too tired to do normal activities or are easily exhausted with no apparent reason. Unlike the mind fog of a serious hangover, to which researchers have compared CFS, the profound weakness of CFS does not go away with a few good nights of sleep. Instead, it slyly steals your energy and vigour over months and sometimes years.Causes of Chronic...

Down Syndrome
Dr. John Langdon Down, born in 1828 and died in 1896, was the medical superintendent of the Royal Earlswood Asylum for Idiots in London. He studied what he termed Mongolian idiocy which was based on the measurements of the head and palate. This became a racial stereotype in that Asian descendants were called Mongoloids, but they are not directly related to Mongolian idiocy, now termed Down syndrome or Trisomy 21 (Ward, 2004).More than six thousand babies with Down syndrome are born in the United States each year. Down syndrome occurs in all races, ethnic groups, socioeconomic classes, and nationalities. Genetics play a major role in Down syndrome. A person without Down syndrome has forty-six...

Evolution, God And The Classroom
Evolution is not necessarily incompatible with the verse "In the beginning God created heaven and earth." Its problem lies more with the notion that in the beginning (of the theory of evolution) Darwin knew nothing about genetics.Modern science has shown that random genetic mutation (which can be caused by carcinogenic chemicals, radioactivity, and sunlight, for example) is a highly destructive process. It can result in diseases such as cancer, hemophilia, Down's syndrome, cystic fibrosis, color-blindness, and muscular dystrophy, not to mention severe deformities in offspring.Darwinian evolution does not even begin to address the issue of how organisms transformed from one species into another on...
