Factors Affecting Cancer and Heart Disease Mortality Rates
[ send me this paper ]
A 30 page paper discussing separately factors affecting the mortality rates of heart disease and cancer, then comparing lifestyle factors that can apply to both in reducing those mortality rates. Cardiovascular disease is the nation's number-one killer; cancer comes in at number two. Risk factors for cardiovascular disease are more controllable from the individual's point of view than are those of cancer, which includes several life events and conditions over which the individual has no control. Those most at risk in the US are the poor, and particularly the poor minorities. For either cardiovascular disease or for cancer, early detection is the most effective of all control measures. Bibliography lists 30 sources.

Social Changes Resulting From Bubonic Plague
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper discussing both immediate and long-lasting changes brought on by necessary shifts in custom in response to the loss of 1/3 of Europe's population during the Black Death. The Black Plague put the entire structure of society in flux as people lived in very fear for their lives and tried to deal with life in as normal manner as possible while half cities fell all around them. Perhaps the most lasting changes arose from the necessity of letting 'new blood' into established institutions such as law and medicine in order to assure their continuance. These people brought new patterns of thinking, and many of them may have never had any other opportunity to rise beyond their peasant status had the plague not made both land and position available. It was a time of the first respect for the power of labor, and it was the time of the first recorded persecution of the Jews. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

"Risk Factors For Cardiovascular Disease In Children With Type 1 Diabetes" - Brief Analysis
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. The general research problem Lipman et al (2000) attempt to address revolves around the relationship between children with Type 1 insulin-dependent diabetes and the prevalence of cardiovascular disease as a complication. The predominant coupling of cardiovascular disease and Type 1 diabetes in children requires a greater understanding of environmental factors and the impact they have upon the presence of CVD in these afflicted children. Lipman et al (2000) seek to determine if preventive monitoring measures will serve to be an effective means by which to enable "early identification and treatment of known risk factors" (p. 160). The ultimate goal is to combat factors directly associated with cardiovascular disease and Type 1 insulin-dependent diabetes in children, which the authors believe can be achieved by adopting a preventive approach. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
