Insulin Synthesis Using Recombinant Plasmid DNA
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing methods of constructing this plasmid containing a gene for human insulin. As much as 5 percent of the population may be affected by diabetes, a disease of carbohydrate metabolism in which the sufferer of the disease is unable to absorb glucose from the blood. Insulin for injection has been extracted from other animals until only recently. Though bovine insulin will work for human diabetes control, the chemical differences also cause reaction in some individuals. Bacterial generation of insulin using recombinant DNA techniques has largely replaced the use of bovine insulin in cases of human diabetes. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Juvenile Diabetes
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper overview of Type I diabetes mellitus, or insulin-dependent diabetes. Formerly referred to only as juvenile diabetes, it was thought in the past that children were affected with only this type of diabetes. As it has become known that anyone of any age can be afflicted with either Type I or Type II, the term 'juvenile diabetes' has fallen out of favor, but its effects are the same regardless of how it is labeled aside from the particular ways it affects children: They often are larger than other children their age and many go through puberty sooner than their non-diabetic friends. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Ramadan: Fasting's Impact Upon Muslim Diabetics
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. The extensive fasting performed during the holy months of Ramadan may have its roots firmly planted in the individual's spiritual development; however, for the diabetics who practice this sacred tradition, it poses grave consequences to their ability to effectively manage the disease. It is a known fact that the one aspect of diabetes that cannot be overlooked is the ability to eat small amounts several times a day. Without the appropriate levels of proteins and sugars available to the system, the fasting diabetic only serves to severely complicate his or her condition, ultimately threatening the chances for survival. The writer discusses the fasting of Ramadan as it relates to Muslim diabetics. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Does Elevated Job Stress Affect Smoking Levels?
[ send me this paper ]
A 28 page paper researching the hypothesis that smokers in high-stress jobs tend to smoke more in response to stress than do smokers in jobs with lower stress levels. Though there was no existing research with which to guide our study, we believe we have obtained solid and statistically valid results that unquestioningly prove that a smoker's response to a high-stress job is that of smoking more than usual. Existing literature emphasizes the relationship between stress and depression, and also that between smoking and depression. Biochemical and psychological research has concluded that there is a strong relationship between smoking and clinical depression, though it is unclear which contributes to the other. This survey does not specifically address depression, but it does give valuable insight to the relationship of stress-related smoking and workplace stress. Bibliography lists 42 sources.
