Alzheimer's Disease, The Brain, & Memory Loss
[ send me this paper ]
A 9 page research paper exploring the possible causes and the progression of symptoms of senile dementia, of which Alzheimer's is the most widely occurring and best-known type. Current thinking is that the diagnosis and, therefore, the treatment of Alzheimer's should be physiologically based since Alzheimer's truly is a physiological disease rather than just a given of 'old age.'

The Effects Of Alzheimer's Disease On Brain Structure
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page research paper on the physical changes observed in the brain cells of Alzheimer's Disease patients. Early in the century, pathologist Louis Alzheimer first discovered and described the neurofibrillary tangles and amyloid plaques consistent with the presence of the disease. For all the research into the causes of Alzheimer's, microscopic examination at autopsy remains the definitive diagnosis tool. The paper presents descriptions of both neurofibrillary tangles and amyloid plaques along with popular theories of their formations and possible physiological treatments. As it is though, researchers only know the two conditions are part of the disease. Whether they are caused by Alzheimer's or Alzheimer's causes them is still unknown. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

"Dancing Skeletons": A Review of the Book by Catherine Dettwyler
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page review of the ethnographic account of fieldwork in medical anthropology. Working among malnourished children in West Africa Dettwyler experienced both professional and personal insight. Although sometimes criticized for her subjective approach to her subject, in reality Dettwyler provides both a a touching human account and a valuable ethnography. Her approach to death as "the ultimate illness", however, is one which is unfortunate. This paper points out that death is in fact a natural component of life. To view death as an ultimate illness is to regard death, a phase which we must all pass through, as a personal and medical failure. No additional sources are listed.

"Evaluation Of Education Materials Using Orem's Self-Care Deficit Theory": Analysis
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. The purpose of this study is to help nurses gain a significantly better perspective upon how well patients understand educational materials pertinent to their well being based upon overall literacy. When patients do not have the wherewithal to understand instructional and/or educational materials pertaining to their health status, they are less likely to appropriately care for themselves. Because the availability of "easy-to-read health information and instruction materials for patients with poor literacy skills heightens health disparities and dissatisfaction with care already experienced by many disadvantaged patients" (Wilson et al, 2003, pp. 68-76), it stands to reason how this study seeks to bridge that ever-widening social gap. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
