THE NEGATIVES IMPACT OF SMARTPHONE ADDICTION ON TEENAGERS’ HEALTH (FROM 12 - 19 YEARS OLD) 1. Introduction Nowadays, smartphone has become popular all around the world. People, at least have one smartphone with them. According to Wilcox (2009), the first smartphone was released 22 years ago, exactly in 1993, which was IBM Simon. This smartphone was design and engineered by International Business Machine Corp. (IBM). Not only IBM, which produced the smartphone but also Nokia, Ericsson, and…

Hook: World War 2 was the largest armed conflict in history, ranging over 6 continents and all of the oceans. Backgrounder: This war had an estimated 50 million military and civilian deaths, including the 6 million Jews. World War 2 was the start of a nuclear war. Domestically, this war ended the Great Depression. At the same time, African Americans strived towards achieving their political, economic and social rights. The Axis powers, Germany, Italy, and Japan, against the Allies, United…

cancer cell. A lot of these drugs are still being tested in clinical trials so we don’t know if these can cure leukemia. However targeted therapy manages the leukemia for longer period of time. X-rays are used in radiation therapy to damage leukemia cells and stop their growth. Radiation therapy does not specifically cure Leukemia, but it prepares the body for a bone marrow transplant. There are procedures that can replace diseased bone marrow with healthy bone marrow. These procedures are…

Deep vein Thrombosis is the third most common cardiovascular disease after acute coronary syndromes and strokes, affecting 2 million individuals in the US each year. (Theodorou, Theodorou, & Kakitsubata, 2003) Although more commonly limited to the veins of the calf, lower extremity deep vein thrombosis is a very serious medical condition that can result in death or disability. DVT is a condition that happens when blood clots are present and forms in a deep vein, usually in the leg. It is…

III.Diseases of the Chest Wall 1- Masses: Sonography is a sensitive, although not at all specific, tool for the detection of masses arising from the chest wall. Its role in the study of such masses is limited to detection of chest wall masses. Other more specific tools, such as MRI and CT must be used to provide a more precise diagnosis ( Vollmer and Gayete2010). 2- Rib fractures: After chest trauma, US may be used in the diagnosis of rib fracture. Sonography is best performed along…

embryonal component (>40%) and/or higher T stage (T2-T4) [30,31]. Patients with these high risk features have options of either one or two cycles of single agent platin or primary RPLND. Concern regarding long-term morbidities of imaging related ionizing radiation exposure and long term morbidities of chemotherapy, have emphasized the importance of surgery [32,33]. Advantages of RPLND include 1) definitive pathologic staging. 30% of stage I patients have occult metastasis in the…

elements, neutrons, and a large amount of radiation produced. It was clear that these neutrons could in turn also cause fission, producing more neutrons and developing a chain reaction which might spread throughout all the uranium present (Rinkesh). This fission reaction showed a lot of potential, and since the discovery of nuclear fission, scientists around the globe have developed different yet effective methods of harnessing the energy produced by the radiation ushered in an era commonly…

For example, significant increases in cancer risk are associated with workers that have been exposed to high concentrations of ionizing radiation, certain chemicals, metals, and other substances (Hunt 4). There are many Louisiana workers who work in petrochemical refineries, and have been heavily affected by this field of work. In “A strong voice in Louisiana’s Cancer Alley,” by Julie…

protective items which seriously reduce vision, unduly reduce mobility or dexterity, or create other difficulties should be reported. (Hammer and Price, 2001, p. 470). Question 5- * At the end of document. Question 6- The radiation the public is most apprehensive of is ionizing radiation because of atomic bomb explosions. The fear escalated after the construction of nuclear plants and accidents, such as the Pennsylvania's Three Mile Island and the Ukraine's Chernobyl incidents. (Hammer and…

outside of the sun that allows for atmospheric pressure and the ability to support liquid water. The distances of the regions from their sun can vary in different solar systems, but are based off of position in the solar system and the amount of radiation given off from the sun. The habitable…
