Common Colds And The Flu / Causes And Cures
[ send me this paper ]
10 pages in length. Inasmuch as people "catch" a cold on the average of twice a year for adults and around six times for children, the medical community is still looking for definitive reasons behind its existence and elusive cure. Established most often as a viral condition, the common cold comes in an assortment of over two hundred types, which explains why people can be stricken with one after another after another. However, as miserable as one might be with a cold, the flu is all that and worse. Also appearing primarily in the colder months, influenza mirrors many of the same symptoms as the cold, except for the fact that it most often stems from only three viruses: type A, B and C. The writer discusses causes and cures in relation to colds and the flu. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Concept Analysis
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages. This research paper explores 'concept analysis' and how it can be applied to healing. Concept analysis is treatment that is based on the actual concept of the perceived illness. For example, if one is suffering from stress, the actual concept of the stress must be analyzed and thus treated. Perhaps this stress is the result of fear. In that case, fear is the actual concept that is used as the basis for analysis. Combining the use of concept analysis with medicine produces an interesting blend in which more and more medical personnel are taking part. While not a new theory, it is one that is catching on rapidly in the field of medical health. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
