Under the Uniform Determination of Death Act, an individual is officially declared to be dead “when he or she “has sustained either (1) irreversible cessation of circulatory and respiration functions, or (2) irreversible cessation of all functions of the entire brain, including the brain stem”” (Landau 3). The family of a brain-dead patient, however, can choose whether or not to place him or her on life support to continue biological functions. This option creates an issue in making family…

It is important to differentiate GABHS infections in chil- dren. The antibiotic therapy should be started within 9 days after the onset of infection to prevent potential cardiac and renal complications. It is not possible to make a diagnosis of GABHS infection by clinical examination alone. Throat swabs are necessary to identify Streptococcus (Fig. 3.1.1). Gener- ally, a cherry red tongue and perioral pallor suggest GABHS infection. In infectious mononucleosis, the cervical lymph nodes are…

This happens mostly within their late teens and can lead to serious health problems including but not limited to: genital warts, and many different types of cancer ranging from cancer of the vulva to cancer of the tongue and tonsils. I find that immunization should be heavily considered by parents for their children. Side effects of the vaccine can be common but not life threating.

preceded my interest in writing. I would visit the library often growing up, checking out books in the mornings at the elementary school before the first bell rang or taking part in the public library’s reading program during the summer. When I had my tonsils removed in the fourth grade, my school librarian (who was all too familiar with me at this point) delivered me a stack of books at home, knowing I would get restless without reading material while I was recovering.

The Bubonic Plague is a bacteria known as Yersinia Pestis that infects the lymphatic system causing it to become inflamed (Tonsils, Adenoids, Spleen, and Thymus). The bacteria needs calcium to grow but when there is no calcium it produces amino acids called aspartic acid. Aspartic acid raises the blood plasma level of aspartate and glutamate. This excess can lead to damage of sensitive neurons. It can also help generate cellular energy, balance neurochemistry, and help the liver rid the body of…
