Should Sex Offenders be allowed to Adopt Children The law to keep our children safe from any harm that may come their way includes sex offenders. While most people might argue that sex offenders have human rights just like the rest of us, the fact remains is that they gave up that right hurting a child. Before anyone can care for a child in any way they must be checked out with background checks, personal interviews, as well as reports. However, in 2001 a sex offender served as a foster…

literature indicates that individuals under 25 years of age are at higher risk of acquiring gonorrhea, and therefore, it is argumented that they are more likely to become reinfected with gonorrhea, as well as with other contagious infections such as chlamydia. This argument is supported by the results of two systematic reviews, which found that the risk of repeat gonorrhea infection is associated with younger age in the U.S. civilian population (Fun et al., 2007; Hosenfeld…

“A discipline that starts with dialogue, the capacity of members of a team to suspend assumptions and enter into a genuine thinking together… (Larsen, McInerney, Nyquist, Santos, & Silsbee, n.d.). Since the start of my field site rotation, I have been doing my field site experience with the United States Army Public Health Clinic here on the island of Oahu. As I have noted before, this clinic is unique in that the population that it serves are military service members and military retirees,…

Surveillance system to ultimately plan public health action and resources. The surveillance system should include a clear case definition for the STIs. The case definition should be distinct for each of the STIs measured in the surveillance (i.e. Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Syphilis, and HIV) and should include clinical manifestations and laboratory confirmation. Having a uniform case definition will ensure standardization of the data collected. Also, case definition for each disease is linked to the…

abstinence-only programs, they have higher numbers of STDs than other states that use comprehensive programs. Like in Louisiana, where there are 624.6 per 100,000 cases of chlamydia, and in Texas they are close behind with 498.3 per 100,000 (CDC). Whereas states that use comprehensive programs like Massachusetts, has 349 per 100,000 case of chlamydia (Mass), as well as Vermont that has 294.2 per 100,000 (CDC). Because…

couples who completed the study became pregnant. Those with higher Alpha Amylase were 29% less likely to become pregnant. Apari et al. (2014) state that a Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) is a cause of infertility. The bacteria which causes chlamydia and gonorrhea are two main reasons for Pelvic infection disease (PID), which if not treated, can lead to tubal factor infertility in 10-40% of cases. Apari et al. also state that genital herpes is associated with infertility in both men and…

Pelvic inflammatory disease usually affects sexually active females in their childbearing years. “About one in every seven women…

What is abortion? It is the expulsion or “termination” of a human fetus, weather it be natural through a miscarriage or artificially induced, via chemicals or surgery. In 2005 about 1.21 million abortions occurred. That is approximately 3,315 abortions every day. Many people speculate that the fetus is not considered a person until it is born. Studies show that about 18 days after conception the fetus already has a heart beat, and at 8 weeks you can hear it. Some feminists and other people…

The two types of bacteria are archaebacteria and eubacteria. What characteristics distinguish these two groups from the other kingdoms? These two groups are different from other kingdoms because all cells in these kingdoms are single-celled organisms whose organelles are not membrane bounds. They are also microscopically small. What is the average size of a bacterium? An average bacterium is about 1-2 micrometres long. How many prokaryote species have been discovered? How many are estimated to…

by organisms/microbes including bacteria, fungi, and viruses that affect the urethra and could spread to the bladder and kidneys. The majority of UTIs are caused by the bacterium Escherichia coli (E-coli), most live in the bowel and others like Chlamydia that affect the reproductive system. There are…
