Health Care Reform from the View of
a Congressional Aide : This 6 page report discusses national health care reform
and the reasons it was not approved by Congress in 1994. Opponents such as the insurance
industry, many sectors of the medical community, even attorneys, complained that any
health care reform plan involving universal coverage requirements would necessarily
require numerous administrative regulations. A failure to recognize such problems, they
claimed, would lead to an out-of-control health system becoming even more of an
economic and bureaucratic burden than it already was for consumers and the health care and
insurance communities. The entire issue serves as an example of special interest lobbying,
partisan conflict, and legislative posturing. Bibliography lists 8 sources. BWhealth.wps

Minority Smoking Rates : An 8 page
paper written in the attempt to prove the hypothesis that smoking rates among low income
minority adults in the southwest region are higher than those of upper and middle income
classes regardless of race. What was discovered in the course of the research, however,
was that not only is this sort of information apparently not available, but that current
research is so poorly designed it cannot possibly provide reliable conclusions. Most
discouraging is that the bulk of research data has come out of the Centers for Disease
Control, one of our more respected government agencies. Bibliography lists 9 sources. Smoke.doc
Physical Effects of Marijuana Use : A
12 page paper discussing some of the current research into what the actual physical
effects of long-term marijuana might be. Studies of controlled subjects indicate that the
effects of varying levels of THC generally last no more than 24 hours, but other
researchers have concluded that lung function of long-term marijuana smokers is even more
damaged than that of tobacco smokers. Still others have isolated precancerous cells from
lung biopsies. What researchers know best at present is that there is much to learn about
the subject. For now, the issue remains divided largely between the proponents and
opponents of legalization measures. Includes an abstract. Bibliography lists 14 sources. Mariphys.wps

they find offensive. Bibliography lists 6 sources. Smokpub.doc
Polonium 210's Role in Lung Cancer Caused by
Cigarette Smoking : A 5 page paper discussing the action of polonium-210 on lung
tissue. The isotope is a naturally occurring compound in cigarette smoke resulting from
combustion of lead-210 emitting alpha radiation that has been shown to cause cancer in
research animals. After more than 25 years of research into the specific action of
polonium-210, it still is not totally clear what the carcinogenic action of the isotope
is, but it is clear that it plays a direct role in carcinogenicity, most likely through
mutagenesis resulting in damaged cell processes. Bibliography lists 6 sources. Polcigs.wps
Does Elevated Job Stress Affect Smoking Levels?
: 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 smokers
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. Smokstre.wps

Diabetes Mellitus / Overview : A 6
page paper discussing the actions and long-term implications of the diabetes. At its core,
the disease is the result of either insufficient insulin production or a decreased
sensitivity to that which is produced in the body. There are two broad categories of
diabetes, Type I, or insulin-dependent diabetes; and Type II, non-insulin-dependent
diabetes. Type I formerly was referred to as juvenile diabetes while Type II was commonly
known as adult-onset diabetes, but those terms are rarely used now that it is understood
that either type can strike any age. Type II is by far the most common. Newly diagnosed
cases have reached epidemic proportions worldwide, with new cases in the US increasing 50%
between 1980 and 1994, with long-term complications such as kidney disease,
atherosclerosis and diabetes-induced blindness similarly increasing in incidence.

Juvenile Diabetes : 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

Insulin Synthesis Using Recombinant Plasmid
DNA: 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. Diabchem.wps
