refrigeration is not an effective deterrent to its growth. Bibliography lists 8 sources. Listeria.wps
Pseudomonas aeruginosa Genetic Defects and Epithelial Uptake : An 8
page paper discussing the inability of genetically defective P. aeruginosa to
successfully invade epithelial cells. A disturbing development of recent years is that
many of the old standby antibiotics are no longer having sufficient effect on the old
standby bacteria on which they have been used for years for effective control of disease.
Genetic mapping of some of the most common disease-causing organisms, however, has led to
the ability to genetically alter many disease organisms to the point that their potential
virulence is affected. Bibliography lists 8 sources. Pseudo.wps
Superantigens in Disease : A 6 page paper discussing the mechanisms through
which superantigens operate. Antigens and superantigens are protein substances produced by
viruses and bacteria that trigger the bodys immune system into action. That immune
system can degrade most antigens without bringing harm to healthy tissue, but the
superantigen is the microbial antigen that is of particularly strong effect. Research has
shown that those same mechanisms can be manipulated for the benefit of the individual
undergoing procedures such as chemotherapy or victims of autoimmune deficiencies, creating
the possibility of a therapeutic strategy from a formerly fully negative occurrence.
Bibliography lists 8 sources. Supera.wps

literature review that supports the theory that the MIDCAB or minimally invasive direct
coronary bypass procedure, has a number of benefits for patients and nurses over the
commonly used standard coronary bypass procedure. The benefits for patients include less
pain, because the procedure is less invasive and does not require a sternotomy, quicker
recovery times and shorter hospital stays. It is the theory of the author that this also
benefits nurses by decreasing the amount of time they must provide cardiac care within the
Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU). Bibliography lists
9 sources. Midcab.wps

Genetic Expression in Cancer : A 12 page paper discussing the actions and
implications of genes p53 and pRB, and the enzyme telomerase in the control of cancer.
Genes p53 and pRB are known to be tumor suppressor genes, inhibiting the ability of
cancerous cells to thrive. Over half of all cancers reveal that the p53 gene has either
been disabled or has been dismantled at the cellular level. Telomerase is an enzyme found
most abundantly in association with cancerous conditions, preventing the shortening of
chromosomal "endcaps," telomeres, that happens in normal cell growth and
division. The enzyme prevents the shortening of the telomeres, prolonging the life of the
cell. Telomerase provides the best indicator of cancerous conditions present and is
measurable before there are any symptoms at all. Bibliography lists 10 sources. Gexpress.wps
Advantages & Disadvantages of Heamotopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation :
A 15 page paper discussing transplants of stem cells from both bone marrow and peripheral
blood. Bone marrow transplant is still the most aggressive form of cancer treatment and is
often necessary following high dose chemotherapy and radiation for the eradication of
certain cancerous conditions. Such high-dose treatments destroy the patients bone
marrow, the site of all blood production, along with their targeted cancers. Now used in
treatment of other diseases as well, the autologous bone marrow transplant in which the
patient is his own donor is far more common than is the allogeneic transplant in which
another person donates bone marrow to the patient. Increasingly, peripheral blood stem
cell harvest and transplant is used either in place of or in addition to the autologous
bone marrow transplant, and the pre-treatment patient may soon not be his only possible
donor as the use of stem cells harvested from umbilical cord blood is more heavily
investigated. Bibliography lists 41 sources. Stemcell.wps

Orthopedic Sports Medicine : A 16 page paper discussing the state of
evolution of orthopedic sports medicine. It often carries the remnant of the skepticism of

in orthopedic sports medicine often were looked on as M.D.s that simply couldnt
compete in the world of "real" medicine, and the lay people involved as trainers
and support personnel to the performing athletes were regarded as would-be athletes with
the same disabilities. But times are changing. Orthopedic sports medical practitioners are

The Chiropractors Perspective on Sleep Apnea : An
8 page paper discussing the diagnosis of sleep apnea and possible treatment through
chiropractic. Sleep disorders traditionally have not been addressed by chiropractic unless
they have been found to stem from a condition that prevents the sufferer from being able
to be comfortable enough to get a good nights sleep, which in itself contributes to
the chiropractors alleviation of the common physical problems for which he is
normally consulted, such as low back pain. The chiropractors entire focus of
treatment is noninvasive physical manipulation of conditions, however, which even the
mainstream medical community recognizes as the best treatment for sleep apnea in most
cases. Bibliography lists 8 sources. Snoring.wps

Near Death Experiences -- Are They Real ? : A 9 page research paper examining
the validity of alleged Near Death Experiences (NDE). Since
Raymond Moody coined the term with the publication of Life After Life in 1975, the
entire issue has been under debate. Though some researchers maintain that the NDE is
nothing more than a product of physiological changes the body undergoes when death is
imminent, their scientific logic is found to be faulty. The body of knowledge surrounding
the NDE is too vast to be dismissed because of our inability to clinically replicate the
events encompassed by the NDE. That same inability does nothing to prevent the stars from
existing and maintaining their positions, either. Those who have returned unshakably hold
that their experiences were in fact very real, regardless of what some researchers want to
say about those experiences. Thus, the writer of this paper makes a strong argument that
NDEs are indeed, very real. Bibliography lists 9 sources. FREE Outline included. Nde.wps
