--ANGER--


Do people ever stop and think,
When they open their mouth to speak,
That gossip can tear a heart apart
And make the soul grow weak?
-
Vicious lies about a friend,
Spoken behind their back,
Could affect the very life they live
Because of your attack.
-
Families could be torn apart,
That were solid like a rock.
Lies would hurt the children,
'Cause the truth was never sought.
-
Kind words are slow to travel.
That's not the case with lies.
Like a fire caught up in wind storm,
They may take forever to die.
-
How do you convince your lover,
Or even a life long friend,
The stories that they've heard of you
No substance do they lend?
-
Many family's hopes and dreams
Have gone crashing to the ground,
On account of vicious gossip,
When the truth was never found.
-
So, when you speak of someone else,
Make sure you get it straight.
Don't be saying cutting words.
The truth should never be late. ...

--IBS and ME--


IBS - irritable bowel syndrome. is a term used to describe discomfort in the bowel (the colon, or large intestine). Symptoms of IBS may include crampy pain, bloating, gas, mucus in the stool, and changes in bowel habits. Some people with IBS have constipation—infrequent stools that may be hard, dry, and painful. Others have diarrhea—frequent loose stools. Some people have alternating constipation and diarrhea. Sometimes a person with IBS has a crampy urge to move the bowels but cannot do so.
-
Although it is not clearly understood what causes IBS, there are many clues in the scientific literature. For some people it begins in childhood with a ‘sensitive stomach’ that develops into more intense symptoms in adulthood; while for others, the IBS symptoms start suddenly during a period of stress or persist after a bout of gastroenteritis, a condition known as Post-infective IBS. However there are underlying vulnerabilities that may cause IBS and that may be common causes to all sufferers of IBS.
-
In simple terms, we believe that there is ample evidence to suggest that IBS is the result of a dysfunctional interaction between genetic vulnerability, a lack of certain specific nutrients and disordered gut bacteria, leading to a dysfunctional gut and less than optimum brain function.

Symptoms associated with IBS-
-
There are also recent scientific findings that may also explain why 70 to 90% of people with IBS also suffer from anxiety, depression and sleep difficulties.
-
Frequently people with IBS also report chronic tiredness or fatigue, cognitive deficits, foggy head and difficulties concentrating. Treating these suspected causes of IBS often resolves or significantly reduces the cognitive, psychiatric, fatigue and sleep problems. Psychological techniques can then be more effective at treating psychological factors that may contribute to stress, depression and anxiety.

--The Battle Of Minds--

"I could not understand how it could move under its own power.
And when it had driven past me,
without even thinking why I found myself chasing it down the road,
as hard as I could run."

--Polio and ME--



Poliomyelitis, often called polio or infantile paralysis, is an acute viral infectious disease spread from person to person, primarily via the fecal-oral route. The term derives from the Greek polio (πολίός), meaning "grey", myelon (µυελός), referring to the "spinal cord", and -itis, which denotes inflammation. Although around 90% of polio infections have no symptoms at all, affected individuals can exhibit a range of symptoms if the virus enters the blood stream.
-
In fewer than 1% of cases the virus enters the central nervous system, preferentially infecting and destroying motor neurons, leading to muscle weakness and acute flaccid paralysis. Different types of paralysis may occur, depending on the nerves involved. Spinal polio is the most common form, characterized by asymmetric paralysis that most often involves the legs. Bulbar polio leads to weakness of muscles innervated by cranial nerves. Bulbospinal polio is a combination of bulbar and spinal paralysis.
-
Poliomyelitis was first recognized as a distinct condition by Jakob Heine in 1840. Its causative agent, poliovirus, was identified in 1908 by Karl Landsteiner. Although major polio epidemics were unknown before the 20th century, polio was one of the most dreaded childhood diseases of the 20th century in the United States.
-
Polio epidemics have crippled thousands of people, mostly young children; the disease has caused paralysis and death for much of human history. Polio had existed for thousands of years quietly as an endemic pathogen until the 1880s, when major epidemics began to occur in Europe; soon after, widespread epidemics appeared in the United States.
-
By 1910, much of the world experienced a dramatic increase in polio cases and frequent epidemics became regular events, primarily in cities during the summer months. These epidemics—which left thousands of children and adults paralyzed—provided the impetus for a "Great Race" towards the development of a vaccine. The polio vaccines developed by Jonas Salk in 1952 and Albert Sabin in 1962 are credited with reducing the annual number of polio cases from many hundreds of thousands to around a thousand.
-
Enhanced vaccination efforts led by the World Health Organization, UNICEF and Rotary International could result in global eradication of the disease.

--Human Behaviour--

Behavior or behaviour (see spelling differences) refers to the actions or reactions of an organism, usually in relation to the environment. Behavior can be conscious or unconscious, overt or covert, and voluntary or involuntary.
-
In animals, behavior is controlled by the endocrine system and the nervous system.
-
The complexity of the behavior of an organism is related to the complexity of its nervous system. Generally, organisms with complex nervous systems have a greater capacity to learn new responses and thus adjust their behavior. Human behavior (and that of other organisms and mechanisms) can be common, unusual, acceptable, or unacceptable. Humans evaluate the acceptability of behavior using social norms and regulate behavior by means of social control. Animal behavior is studied in comparative psychology, ethology, behavioral ecology and sociobiology.
-
Ronald J. Konopka and Seymour Benzer of Caltech were the first to establish the genetic basis of behavior, when they isolated three circadian rhythm mutants in Drosophila melanogaster which were later mapped to a single gene Period.
-
Ethograms are used for studies on behavior.
