You have the entire class to begin to search for information. Please copy and paste the link for each reputable site into a Word document. Skim the article and write a comment summarizing its usefullness (see below) You may ask permission to print some of the more useful articles.
See below for a suggested format:
1. http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1717283,00.html
This magazine article, "Creating a Cord-Blood Lifeline" was published in the 2/26/08 edition of Time. It discusses several states that are trying to set up public cord blood banks where people would sign up as they would for organ donation. It talks about the advantages of cord blood over bone marrow transplants. The average cost of private banking is discussed. It mentions several medical organizations that encourage public donating over private banking. It is a good overview of the topic & easy to understand.
2. http://www.latimes.com/features/health/medicine/la-cpalsybox7apr07,1,7405944.story
This newspaper article, "Private Banking as Insurance," was published 4/7/08. It highlights the statements given from the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists suggesting the odds of using privately banked blood to treat a child or family member as being very low. One doctor mentioned in the article suggested that parents be able to donate the blood to a public bank, but have it on reserve for their exclusive use for one year. This is a short article, but it would be good to use for quotes from doctors and professional organizations.
3. http://parentsguidecordblood.org/content/usa/banklists/listusa.shtml
This is a website ("Parents Guide to Cord Blood Banks") created by a mother, Dr. Frances Verter, in memory of her daughter Shai. It has also been referenced in other articles that I have come across. This site contains a table that compares the costs of all the cord blood banks. There is also a list of 52 children who have been helped by their own cord blood. Verter states, "I believe the long-term future of this industry will be for cord blood banks to compete and consolidate until only a single business model survives. The surviving type of bank will be for-profit and will be a full-service banking portal which offers parents both options of public donation and/or private storage. The surviving banks will all sell some portion of their donations to research programs. Economists call this business model a "hybrid" bank." The site seems to be extremely comprehensive. It will help me to answer many of my questions.
Homework:
A typed and printed document is due tomorrow that lists at least four of the sources you intend to use and a brief synopsis of each. I will also check this weekend to make sure you have posted your Blog Entries 1 & 2. If it is not there by Sunday evening, you will not get credit.
I found that most of the sites containing info on publishing were advertising for authors to publish with them or with their help. One sight I found gave a good deal of help on the subject of common FAQ's on publishing books. This site was http://www.caderbooks.com/pubfaq.html
ReplyDeleteThe site contained common errors people have and advice on how to choose editors and approach them.
Other than this one site nothing has really come up on common searches that proved to be helpful.

ReplyDeletehttp://www.plasticsmythbuster.org/reusing.asp
ReplyDeleteWhen I was reading this site, it was telling me that re-using plastic bottles isn’t such a good idea. Leaving bottles in the car and drinking them isn’t good either. After a bottle has been heated you shouldn’t use it. The plastic used in bottles is called polyethylene terephthalate or PET. The bottles contain an element that is only safe for using a bottle once.
http://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=83492
This article discusses how baby bottles give off a chemical BPA that can cause ADHD, autism, increased child obesity, decreased sperm count, more breast and prostate cancers. BPA doesn’t effect you unless you have high doses of this. The plastic industry is trying to say there Is nothing to worry about and that there isn’t enough BPA to get the harmful risks.
http://www.thegreenguide.com/doc/114/bpa
BPA is also in other things then just plastic bottles like canned soups, beans and soft drinks, organic or not, you also may be swallowing residues of a controversial chemical called BPA. It really depends on who you talk to because some people say that it is harmful and others say that is completely fine.
http://infertility.about.com/b/2008/04/23/water-bottles-and-bisphenol-a-can-bpa-cause-infertility.htm
This site says that BPA can lead to infertility or miscarriage. It also says that Wal-Mart is going to have to remove water bottles and baby bottles that carry BPA in them. People think that BPA should be removed from everything but also don’t think that it’s a big deal.

http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/factsheet/Risk/cellphones
ReplyDeleteThis site talks about cell phones and cancer. Some are concerned about cell phones causing cancer because they emit radiofrequency energy, a form of radiation, which is under investigation for its effects on the human body. Since cell phones are relatively new, there are not really any studies of how radio frequency can affect the body over a long period of time. Since the number of cell phone users is increasing rapidly, if radio frequency really does cause cancer, many people could be in quite a bit of danger.
http://www.find-help.us/everydayobjects-cancer-article.html
Everyday objects that may cause cancer: deodorant leads to breast cancer, the chemicals in Teflon when taken in in mass quantities may cause cancer, cell phones and microwaves will not cause cancer; just some of the ideas in this article about what every day objects do and do not cause cancer.
http://www.canceriq.org/causes.html
this website lists the possible, should be, questionable, and actual causes of cancer. The list ranges from cosmetics to hair dyes, and includes certain foods cooked at high temperatures and caffeine and alcohol.
http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/what-is-cancer
this site tells what exactly cancer is, and gives more of a medical background on cancer. It says that cancer is a term used for diseases in which abnormal cells divide without control and are able to invade other tissues., and that there are different categories that different cancers can be grouped into. It has info on genetics and cancer, treatments, preventions, and other statistics about cancer.

ReplyDeleteThis site tells about the greenhouse effect and how the earth is heating up. It also gave me many facts, figures, and graphs about the effects of global warming. Also, it describes many of the causes of global warming and it also tells how we can decrase it.
http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/2007/09/climate_100.html
This website tells about how many resources and things won't be available for people if global warming is not decreased. It basically tells the top 100 effects of global warming and how many of the everyday things we are used to won't be there anymore. Even the simplest things such as vacations to go skiing won't be possible eventually.
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2007/04/17/MNGFCP9UL41.DTL
This article discusses the expected climate changes to affect the health of many people. It is already affecting the health of many. It says many viruses are already being spread that have been caused from the constant climate change. It also tells about studies that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency are doing to help the environment and possibly decrease global warming.
http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1177002,00.html
This article basically tells about how global warming is affecting our health. It tells how rise in infectious disease is being noticed as being cuased my global warming. It also descirbes how increased deaths per year are also caused by global warming.
These websites seem very reliable and not fraudelant since most of them are news articls or newspaper articles.

ReplyDeleteThis site gives a general overview of designer babies. It is relatively unbiased; it does not give the pros or cons to this process, but instead explains exactly what the process is scientifically, without taking sides. According to this article, “designer babies” is a term used by the media for an embryo that has undergone the process of “Pre-Implantation Genetic Diagnosis.” (PGD) Under U.S. law, there are only two instances when PGD is legal: when selecting the gender of an embryo, and when screening for genetic disease in a genetic disease-prone couple. During PGD, several eggs are fertilized through in vitro fertilization. After a few days of growth, a cell from each embryo is screened, and any specimens that contain genetic disease are discarded and one or more healthy embryos are implanted in the uterus of the mother to grow normally.
2) http://www.spiked-online.com/Articles/00000006DD57.htm
This website talks about the moral issues and debate about the process of PGD. It provides some basic background information on PGD, but really it concentrates on the ethical debate on the subject. Currently, only the selection of a zygote’s gender is legal when sex-linked disorders and diseases are a concern. Some people feel that PGD selection of gender should stay this way; limited to the prevention of disease and the health of the baby. However, it is of concern that gender selection should become completely legal. Under this plan, a baby’s gender can be selected for “social reasons” in addition to disease prevention. The main oppositions to this are that it is immoral and that gender selection could lead to the selection of other traits and a world where humans are no longer produced through natural means, but ordered in catalogs per the specifications of the parents. The main argument in favor of gender selection is that people should have full rights over how they reproduce.
3) http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/955644.stm
This article concentrates on the use of PGD in the United Kingdom. In the UK, PGD is legal for the use of genetic disease prevention. The British feel that PGD is good for this purpose, but cannot be overused; strict limitations are in place to regulate when PGD can be used. Scientists in Britain fear that lax regulation of PGD could lead to the selection of all the traits of an embryo, which would in turn lead to a world where babies are all bred to have desirable genes. The British are for PGD, but only when closely regulating each specific case when PGD can be used.
4) http://www.pbs.org/wnet/religionandethics/week236/cover.html
This article pretty much takes the same stance as the BBC article and most other internet articles say: scientists are for the medical advancements that are put forth by PGD in the fields of disease prevention, but they oppose the overuse of it. Most every scientist feels that using PGD to design a baby to have specific traits is immoral and will create a society that is disadvantageous to non-genetically enhanced people. They think that PGD should be limited to disease prevention in embryos and that trait selection should continue to be outlawed.

"Type 1 diabetes complications"
This article explains all the problems that people have with their diabetes and also to complications that doctors have today with trying to find ways to help them out. It shows everything from heart disease to foot complications that come with type 1 diabetes, not only physical conditions but mental conditions as well that come along with it. This website is very good for an overall view of diabetes.
http://diabetes.webmd.com/
The link to the article above is a basic overview of diabetes. It is basically telling you in type 1 and 2 what your insulin deficiency is. This article also tells you what percentage of our population has diabetes. The article also states how diabetes reacts when it does not have the right amount of insulin such as dehydration and a diabetic coma.
http://diabetes.niddk.nih.gov/treatments/index.htm
This link to the article above tells you about how you can plan your diet around diabetes. It tells you what your sugar level should be before eating a meal and after eating a meal, depending on how severe your diabetes is. This has the specific hours before and after eating and what level you should be at. I think this site is good because it will make an important impact on my paper letting my classmates know about eating habits and how they change once you have diabetes, how your whole diet might have to be changed.
http://health.nytimes.com/health/guides/disease/diabetes/overview.html
In the article above diabetes is very well explained. They cover almost everything about it. They tell why it happens. Also how it happens. They also tell how to prevent type 2 with proper dieting and weight loss. I think this article will benefit because it has a very trusted link. It holds some very beneficial information like how the body cannot turn sugars into energy. I think when I am writing my paper it will be very helpful knowing that their pancreases are not able to create insulin.

Also, he is trying to show how it greatly impacts people’s daily lives. Robert is trying to get people’s attention to see the importance and get on a case for treatment. More then 30 million people over the world walk around with glaucoma, and just in the United States, there are about 4 million people with glaucoma without even knowing it. It is found that more ethnic locations are at high risk. Treatments for glaucoma are still on the lookout. The reason for this is because glaucoma is not a serious disorder at first. Meaning it is painless, and most of the time there are no symptoms. The most affects occurs to the elderly that should be more concerned.

This is an article “High Pressure and Glaucoma” by James C. Tsai, MD. It explains in great detail on what Glaucoma is. Also, he discusses the relationship between high eye pressures being a causing factor for glaucoma. James mentions how high eye pressure does not cause glaucoma but it can be a high risk factor. If a person has a sign of elevated IOP, eye care professionals consider that as a suspect for glaucoma. With glaucoma, eye vision is affected first. Patients may not be aware because the loss of vision changes gradually and most likely is not noticed till a lot of the vision is lost.

This does not mean that they will ever actually develop cancer, but it does mean that fewer other things need to go wrong with the rest of their DNA for disease to develop.

New Cancer Gene Identified
Oncogene Plays a Critical Role in Tumor Formation
January 20, 2005
The gene Zbtb7 seems to help scientists try and cure cancer. “The researchers found that when they "knocked out" the Zbtb7 gene in mice, that transformation was blocked and cells do not become cancerous.” This gene is mutated in human cancer and could possible be the cure of cancer.

ReplyDeleteThis article seems to be very useful. It talks about preventing drinking of alcohol. It also gives statistics about drinking. It also talks about how the media over exaggerates drinking among teenagers. Over all this will be a good site to use because it isn’t trying to scare teens away from alcohol.

ReplyDeleteof remarks here ""I Search" Part III- The Search". I actually do have a couple of questions for
you if it's okay. Could it be only me or do a few of these remarks come across like they are written by brain dead people? :-P And, if you are posting at other online social sites, I'd like to keep up with anything new
you have to post. Would you post a list of all of your shared sites like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?
