Contribution of Legionella pneumophilia's Natural Environment to its Pathogenesis Ability
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper discussing the manner in which this organism's method of survival in nature contributes to its pathogenicity. L. pneumophilia is absolutely an aerobic bacterium. It favors the environment of water where there is the presence also of metal, such as water holding tanks, commercial cooling systems and shower heads, which ultimately could be important in determining its control through methods other than those currently available. An intracellular organism, it is highly adaptable to rapidly changing environmental conditions and shows the greatest affinity for those human cells that most closely match its preferred natural environment.

Critique of �The Quiet Room� by L. Schiller and A. Bennett
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page critique of �The Quiet Room� by L. Schiller and A. Bennett. The 1994 book �The Quiet Room: A Journey Out of the Torment of Madness� by Lori Schiller and Amanda Bennett, tells the story of Schiller�s struggle with the illness, treatment and lifestyle of a schizophrenic. The book is important in many aspects as horrific as the tales may appear, they are typical of experiences of schizophrenics: from the onset of the symptoms of the illness; to the realization and acceptance of the illness; to the maze of the health care system; and to (hopefully) successful treatment of the illness. The book has been adopted by the mental health care community as a realistic and candid report on the mental turmoil and institutional nightmares schizophrenics must endure while going through the steps from diagnosis through treatment. The book also provides useful insight and hope to families of schizophrenics which are emphasized in the support of Schiller�s family. Finally the book provides hope and inspiration to schizophrenics as well who are able to read Schiller�s own documentation of her road to recovery and the productive lifestyle she leads today.

Definitions of Deviance
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page discussion of our societal construct of deviance. Under the medical model deviance is nothing more than a pathology, a view many psychiatrists and sociologists find disquieting. These same professionals prefer to look at deviance form a conflict and labeling standpoint. They view it as not simply a disease but something that can also be caused by society itself in the way we tend to categorize those that are outside the norm. The author reviews each of these approaches and concludes that despite the many criticisms of the medical model of deviance, there are many advantages to approaching deviance as a pathology.

Dental Hygiene and Pediatric Patients' Special Needs
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper discussing some of the advantages hygienists have over parents in influencing children and teens to practice proper hygienic activities. As a growing segment of the population slips between those groups eligible for public dental care and those able to take advantage of routine private care, the message of the hygienist has become more important than at any other time. As a professional who is not that voice of 'parent,' teens also are frequently more apt to listen to the message of the hygienist and put it into practice. The paper also addresses what constitutes a 'healthy' snack in the context of dental hygiene, such as cheese for neutralizing enamel-damaging acids and raw, crunchy fruits and vegetables for their cleansing benefits as well as their nutrient value. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
