transmitted diseases do not have a cure and many
others, if not treated properly, can lead to very
serious complications as cancer. Quantities of the
most common types of STDs are viral, bacterial,
and parasitic animals. A virus in order to survive
needs a living cell within which to replicate.
Some viruses can survive outside the host cell but
they cannot gr...

chronic bronchitis than non smokers. Acute

Pneumonic Plague Bubonic Plague
1,804 words
In the early 1330 s an outbreak of deadly bubonic
plague occurred in China. Plague mainly affects
rodents, but fleas can transmit the disease to
people. Once people are infected, they infect
others very rapidly. Plague causes fever and a
painful swelling of the lymph glands called
buboes, which is how it gets its name. The disease
also causes spots on the skin that are red at
first and then turn black. Since China was one of
the busiest of the world's trading nations, it was
only a matter of tim...

Effects Of Acid Rain Sulfur Dioxide And Nitrogen
3,730 words
What is acid rain? Acid rain is the term for
pollution caused when sulfur and nitrogen dioxides
combine with atmospheric moisture. The term 'acid
rain' is slightly misleading, and would be more
accurate if deemed 'enhanced acid rain', as rain
occurs acidic naturally. Acidity is measured on
what is know as the pH scale. Fourteen is the most
basic, seven is the most neutral, and zero is the
most acidic. Pure rain has a pH level of 7, which
is exactly neutral. The acidity of rain is
determined by t...

H 2 > Introduction to Septic Systems The
septic system is a grouping of components working
together to decompose household waste water. The
septic tank holds the waste and breaks the organic
compounds into a solid, liquid or gas. The solid
waste (called sludge) settles to the bottom of the
tank and must periodically be removed. The liquid
waste is flushed to the distribution box and is
then allowed to drain into the ground through a
series of perforated pipes (often called lines or

Dr. Bernard D. Davis, professor of bacterial

stated that after twenty years of expanding
experience with biotechnology with no detectable
harm to humans or to the environment, this concern
has turned into a good idea (q. In Bender and Leon
23). Genetic engineering is defined as the
scientific alteration of the structure of genetic
material in living organisms. Although under heavy
scrutiny, genetic engineering will someday be used
to cure geneti...

Unrecycled Sludge Cake Activated Sludge Water
525 words
Where does the wastewater go? When water goes down
your sink or toilet, it travels through small
pipes to much larger trunk sewers. The sewer
systems are built to the slope of the ground
around the Elbow and Bow Rivers. This slope allows
most of the waste to go down by gravity, rather
than expensive pumps, to one of four plants. To
handle low areas, which do not have enough slope,
pumping stations have been made. How is wastewater
treated? Wastewater treatment in Calgary involves
the following p...

Problems And Treatment Of Peptic Ulcer Disease
1,624 words
Peptic ulcers are open sores or raw areas in the
lining of the stomach (gastric ulcer) or upper
part of the small intestine (duodenal ulcer). They
result when the bacterium, Helicobacter pylori
attaches itself to the lining of the stomach.
Another cause of peptic ulcers are nonsteroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as
ibuprofen. The bacteria or NSAIDs weaken the
protective mucus coating of the stomach and small
intestines. This process allows acid to get
through to the sensitive lining...

Gas gangrene is a form of gangrene (tissue death)
usually caused by a bacterium known as clostridium
porringers, but many other bacteria can cause the
same effects. It is caused by an infection of
clostridium bacteria that, under low oxygen
conditions, produce toxins that cause the tissue
death and associated symptoms. Gas gangrene is
rare, with only 1, 000 to 3, 000 cases occurring
in the United States annually. Gas gangrene
usually occurs at the site of trauma or a recent
surgical wound. About...

Injection Techniques, Part 1 INJECTING STEROIDS
There is much debate surrounding the question of
whether injectable steroids are more or less
effective and safe than oral steroids. It is
suggested that the oral steroids, which have a
special 17 -? alkyl ated chemical structure making
them active orally and more difficult for the
liver to break down, may be more toxic to the
liver. In addition, these oral steroids are
subject to first pass metabolism meaning the liver
is exposed to the drug at it...
