Nitrous oxide

to a 2006 report by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), animal agriculture is responsible for 18 percent of all human-induced greenhouse gas emissions, including 37 percent of methane emissions and 65 percent of nitrous oxide emissions. The methane releases from billions of imprisoned animals on factory farms are 70 times more damaging per ton to the earth’s atmosphere than CO2.” (Cummins, Ronnie. “How Factory Farming Contributes to Global Warming” www.ecowatch.com…

INTRODUCTION: The anesthesia-operator model for delivering sedation and general anesthesia in the office-based ambulatory outpatient setting is a hallmark of oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMS). Office–based anesthesia is safe and has a high level of patient satisfaction.[1] Closed-claims data from Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons National Insurance Company (OMSNIC), however, indicate that the most frequent reason for transfer of a sedated patient to an emergency room was respiratory distress.[2]…

Medical Practices in the Civil War Everyone has heard the saying “bite the bullet” and know that it means that they have to do something difficult or unpleasant that they didn’t want to do and get it over with. Most people, if you asked where the phrase originated from, would not know and definitely would not guess it originated from the Civil War. Often, when a soldier was injured, they would have to get surgery or other painful medical procedures (“5 Medical Innovations of the Civil War.”).…

Nuclear Power Nuclear power is a very controversial topic. While there are clear benefits to this type of energy, there have been devastating incidents with very high death rates. Radiation, a by-product of nuclear power, is a very dangerous side-effect that comes along with nuclear power. Though it is used in many positive ways, such as in health procedures, it is harmful to human tissue. The consequences of using nuclear power need to be thoroughly examined before a decision is made. The…

For my science reader project I read the first one hundred pages of the book, Why Nothing Can Travel Faster than Light and Other Explorations in Nature’s Curiosity Shop. In the first one hundred pages I read twelve short essays that addressed topics ranging from measuring the vastness of our universe to global warming In the first story I read, Sky Wanderers, the authors taught me about a beneficial acronym (My Very Eager Mother Just Served Us Pies) to remember the names of the planets in order…

better explain, IPCC illustrates how human interactions have led to these numbers. The facts that greenhouse gas release has increased, though “economic and population growth” and now the “atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide” are much higher than ever before. The ozone layer that bounces harmful UV Rays from our planet 's surface can crumble because of the greenhouse gas it holds. The gas actually eats part of the layer and allows those harmful Rays into our…

Everyone has had an experience which has made them feel as it as irrational or unjustifiable. However, much of these experiences are looked at under doubtful examination, and have been explained to be logically justifiable and not at all mystical. Philosopher, William James (1910) explains these experiences and helps to understand them through his lecture on mysticism. His belief that no part of the experience should be left unexplored is what gained him a respectful popularity, James calls this…

Nitrogen Narcosis is also a result of nitrogen collection in the body. The excessive particles in the body is threatening because it “impairs judgement and sensory perception,” (Thomas). Many who have had tooth extractions may be familiar with nitrous-oxide gas which causes drowsiness and insensibility (Thomas). This usually occurs with divers who swim deeper than 100 feet but symptoms could start presenting as minimal as a few meters (Lee). Hallucinations, apprehension, coma, and worst of all…

When we hear the word “rape”, many people do not think that it would ever happen to them. Especially in a college atmosphere, rape is not the first thing that many people think of when they go to parties or events. However, it is very important that people, especially women ages 18-25 are aware of the possibilities and know how to detect and prevent it from happening. Even though alcohol is the most common ingredient in sexual assaults there is still a high risk for date rape drugs. There…
