The effects of estrogen replacement therapy on the cardiovascular system have been debated for a while. Elevated levels of homocysteine even to a mild or moderate degree have been associated with an increased risk for CVD. A recent meta-analysis revealed a graded and linear relationship between increased cardiovascular risk and elevated homocysteine levels. (Yuksel et. al, 2011). Estrogen replacement was given to the surgically induced menopausal women evaluating the levels of homocysteine. A…

reason to commit such a horrible crime then it can appear that she honestly thought by her actions she was protecting her children. The circumstances based on religion become confusing but could also be the result of a masterfully constructed defense. Granted, a life in a mental institution would be no walk in the park or even enjoyable but far less intrusive than death itself or a life in the general population of penitentiary living. My conclusion is that yes, Yates is sick, but I feel…

Crimes happen every day, all across the world, and many different types of people commit crimes. For a crime to be committed, in the eyes of the law, the person must have a mens rea, the intent on doing said crime, and an actus reus, which is actually committing the crime itself (“Mens Rea”, para. 2). If the person is missing either of those two elements, they have not actually perpetrated a crime. It is not uncommon for people to think about doing a crime, whether it is a thought about hurting…

Mr. Juneau isn’t guilty. Our defense will be that Mr. Juneau is not guilty due to diminished capacity. A diminished capacity defense allows for lessening of a guilty verdict based on the defendant 's mental impairment. His intellectual insanity has been…

Every hospital or clinic should have an emergency evacuation strategic plan just in case something was to occur. With the amount of patients at the clinic it would be a tough mission to accomplish. For this topic I will be elaborating on different options we can put into perspective if this was to happen at our clinic. As we know, no matter how hard staff members train or go over the clearing plan that is brought to our knowledge certain incidents can still go wrong or unexpected. When it comes…

While Rhetorically analyzing Terry Tempest Williams, “The Clan of One Breasted Woman,” I find that her main point is to attribute the government’s use of Nuclear Bomb testing, as the main reason why her family has cancer. She effectively argues, through her families’ personal history with Cancer, the government’s use of Nuclear Bomb testing needs to stop. Terry accomplishes this by bringing her audience in through emotional stories, personal branding and logical statements. Terry’s essay…

1. Explain how the three legal standards for insanity differ from each other. Research each of them and explain how they are different. Also, how many states have completely abolished the insanity defense? Why do you think that is? The three legal standards of insanity are the M’Naghten Rule, the Brawner Rule, and the Durham Rule. The M’Naghten Rule was introduced in 1843. It requires that it must be proven, with no doubt, that the person who committed the crime, was not able to understand…

Frozen Blooded Murder Insanity is defined as being in the state of mental illness, madness, or lacking the ability to fully understand right from wrong. When used in the courtroom, many defendants and criminals plead not guilty by reason of insanity, which is often misused, making it hard to differentiate the truly innocent ones, and the real criminals. Roald Dahl’s short story, “Lamb to the Slaughter” is a great representation of the insanity plea. The main character Mary Maloney kills her…

“Lamb to the Slaughter”, a short story written by the celebrated author Roald Dahl, is a story that follows Mary Maloney, a pregnant housewife who had recently found out her husband, a chief detective, was going to leave her. Out of desperation, Mary murders her husband with a frozen leg of lamb and then concealing her wrongdoing and discarding the murder weapon by encouraging the policemen who were investigating the murder to eat it. The most salient idea the author explores is the betrayal;…

The Cynicism Surrounding Sanity The legitimacy of mental illnesses and insanity has been questionable within a myriad of societies throughout history. No individual is psychologically identical to anyone else, so there is no divine truth in determining what is sane and what is not. Because of this, some people are subjugated from the masses and some research correlates insanity with the creation of serial murders and criminals. Others are less fortunate and become prisoners of their own minds…
