Post Polio Syndrome
[ send me this paper ]
A 20 page overview of polio and a new manifestation of its symptoms in the form of post polio syndrome. The author identifies numerous potential causes of PPS. These include immune-mediated responses, hormone deficiencies, and environmental toxins as well as numerous other potential correlates By far the most likely cause of PPS, however, is believed to be the loss of motor neurons in recovered muscle tissue as an individual grows older. By far the most reassuring aspect of the research into the causes of PPS is the fact that researchers do not suspect a reactivation of the original polio virus in the patients who experience PPS.

Psychological Consequences Of Athletic Injury Most Prevalent Among Male Intercollegiate Athletes
[ send me this paper ]
14 pages in length. Forced withdrawal from a given sport due to injury represents one of the most important elements of the anger, depression and anxiety male intercollegiate athletes experience. The addiction of sports places a considerable amount of pressure for athletes who are injured, inasmuch as they are unable to partake in the sport

Recent Success Of The Atkins Diet: Communication And Science/Research-Related Causes
[ send me this paper ]
11 pages in length. The issue of weight loss is one that has all but consumed the minds � and bodies � of contemporary society to the point where people spend millions of dollars every year trying to shed unwanted pounds.

The success of this high protein, low carbohydrate diet is, indeed, founded in the validity of scientific research, however, it is also based in great part upon the tremendous word-of-mouth influence passed on by those who have realized tremendous personal success on the program. From celebrity endorsements to common man testimonials, eating the low-carb way has truly become one of the most powerful phenomenons of the twenty-first century and is anticipated to generate a total of thirty billion dollars in 2004 alone.

Research on �Runner�s High�: Endorphins, Side Effects and Addiction
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 10 page paper discussing the issues of �runner�s high�. A literature review involving �runner�s high� reveals that several areas of research have been associated with this phenomenon. During intense exercise, endorphins, originally known as endogenous morphine, are released into the blood stream resulting in a feeling of euphoria and peace for those who experience it. The release rate varies in individuals but it is generally found that it occurs at around 76% of the maximum heart rate. While increased endorphin levels have been associated with several positive side effects, many negative side effects have also been found especially in female athletes. High endorphin levels inhibit the release of a hormone needed for menstruation, luteinizing hormone (LH), resulting in menstrual complications or amenorrhea. In addition to possible side effects, researchers have also stipulated that running and exercising can be addictive. Endorphin release is also associated with alcoholism, smoking and over-eating, all considered to be addictive. However, many athletes feel that addiction to running or other forms of exercise can be considered a positive addiction as exercise can lead to a reduction in cholesterol levels and better cardiovascular health overall. While this may be true in most cases, exercise has also been found to be addictive to the level where some people eventually experience deterioration in their professional and personal lives and need counselling, psychotherapy and antidepressants in order to overcome their addiction.
