Abstract
The paper analyzes the article on intermedullary nailing as a treatment for a femoral shaft fracture, explaining that the study was designed to evaluate what is considered a tried and true practice and to see if there is a significant increase in the amount of alveolar dead space in patients who undergo this procedure. The paper discusses whether patients with femoral shaft fractures have increased alveolar dead space as a result of the fracture; whether femoral nailing increases the alveolar dead space; and whether intermedullary-nailing increases the alveolar dead space.
From the Paper
"The article does an excellent job of describing potential pulmonary problems that result from long bone fractures. It has been previously demonstrated that pulmonary dysfunction can be decreased when patients undergo early intraoperative fixation. This is thought to be due to a reduction in the amount of time in which the fracture can cause vascular disruption as well as reducing the amount of marrow contents which can eventually find there way into the circulation and from there into the venous system, eventually resulting in embolic phenomena. This pulmonary compromise if most often clinical demonstrated via high ventilation to perfusion ratio that may demonstrate increased alveolar dead space."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that fingernails and toenails, just like any body part, are susceptible to fungal infections. This disease is called onychomycosis. The writer points out that it may involve any part of the nail, including the nail matrix, nail bed or nail plate. This is not merely a cosmetic problem; it also causes emotional, mental and occupational distress. The writer notes that it may cause pain and discomfort, limiting a person from doing his daily activities. This disease may even be a source of embarrassment to the patient at work and in social situations. Adults are most often affected by this disease, and it is rare among children. The writer concludes that taking good care of one's nails is not only for aesthetic purposes, but for the maintenance of a good life.
From the Paper
"The sample is obtained depending on the type of onychomycosis. In a distal lateral subungual onychomycosis, the sample must be obtained from the site most proximal to the cuticle. In the proximal subungual type, the sample must be taken from the proximal nail bed. The presence of hyphae strongly suggests a fungal infection. A fungal culture in Saboraud's culture agar may also be used to specifically identify the specific etiologic agent. Cultures should be obtained from pulverized nail scrapings while the patient is abstained from antifungal medication for 2 weeks. Other tests include immunohistochemistry and cytometry. Histologic examination of the nail can also be used. It will help in differentiating fungal onychomycosis from other systemic diseases that may appear as a nail disease such as psoriasis.
"Medical treatment is through topical antifungals or oral therapy. Topical antifungals such as amorolfine, ciclopirox olamine 8% nail lacquer solution, propylene glycol-urea-lactic acid, and imidazoles may be used."

Trying to Change a Bad Habit, 2002.
An introduction to causes and treatment of nail biting.
884 words (approx. 3.5 pages), 2 sources, MLA, £ 22.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how nail biting overtly appears to be an insignificant and a common bad habit and how medical and psychological research does not have the same opinion on the correct rationale for the behavior. It shows how research findings point to the fact that the bad habit of nail biting can be a consequence of a number of medical ailments such as nervous tension or constant worry but can also be merely an ordinary bad habit. Remedy of this bad habit varies according to the individual however, frequent grooming and the sense of self care play a vital role in effectively eradicating nail biting.
From the Paper
"In most cases, nail biters relieve their tensions by biting nails. Thus this habit is taken to be a tension reliever by most people. In individuals who are not accustomed to nail biting, the habit can be generated through any sort of discord in their family, group of friends, workmates, or school colleagues.
On the whole, the habit of nail biting is a replacement of one drawback with another problem, based on the reason of the nail biter. Ninety nine percent of individuals who are into the habit of nail biting either have inconsiderable issues that bring about anxiety, or have this as an unchanging habit. Very few nail biters have deeper emotional complexities that result in nail biting (McClanahan, 1995)."

Abstract
The integumentary system is comprised of the skin and skin derivatives including hair, nails, glands and receptors. Skin, glands and receptors have many important functions that are described in this paper.
From the Paper
"The skins keeps the inside structures in and outside substances out (Introduction to Anatomy and Physiology). Its strength and pliability make it very tough to outside physical forces. Keratin is a protein in skin cells that makes skin water repellant thereby providing resistance to many chemicals. Acidic skin secretions also help resist chemical damage and prevent bacterial growth. And, the skin protects the body from ultraviolet radiation damage. Coloration cells in the skin are called melanocytes. Exposure to sunlight increases the production of the pigment melanin in the Epidermis (thin outer layer of skin), creating a suntan. This darkening of the skin helps shield the cell nucleus from ultraviolet damage. Sebum, secreted by the skin prevents our bodies from evaporating too much water through the skin and helps prevent dehydration."

Abstract
The writer of this paper contends and explains why the age of Reformation was most influenced by the opinions and dialogues of the 16th century. This paper discusses the impact of Christianity and religion, which was the very basis of society during this particular era. This well-researched paper details Martin Luther's historic impact on reformation, which resulted in a permanent change of Christianity and European culture. When Luther nailed his "Ninety-Five Theses," attacking papal abuses and the sale of indulgences by church officials, to the door of the Wittenberg Church, this became the symbolic act that began the Reformation era. This paper examines the various factors and influences that brought about this new era including the fact that the Europeans were expanding all over the globe, due mainly to the economic activity of mercantilism. This paper also delves into the influences of Desiderius Erasmus and Sir Thomas More.
From the Paper
"Two major influences from the north were Desiderius Erasmus and Sir Thomas More. Erasmus, 146-1536, developed a simple theology of Christian love, and believed that Christianity was basically an ethical religion, the philosophy of Christ, which was one of selfless love and piety. He believed that the Church's practices and dogmas were a profound departure from the philosophy of Christ. Some of the foundational texts of Protestantism belong to the writings of Erasmus. Sir Thomas More, 1478-1535, was the most prominent English humanist of the sixteenth century and an unwavering Catholic who was executed by Henry VIII for not renouncing this Catholicism, yet although he never converted to Protestantism, his writings were highly critical of the papacy and church abuses, and thus, also became part of the foundation of English Protestantism."

Abstract
This research paper discusses the collapse of the Soviet Union and its empire in 1989-91 and the future of Eastern Europe after Soviet domination. The paper concludes that the events of 1989 marked the end of the communist revolution. For more than forty years, the West had contained the Soviet Union behind the Iron Curtain, while the inherent faults of Soviet communism, embodied in the flawed policies of its leadership, brought about the inevitable collapse of the Soviet empire. The author discusses the fall of communism which presented humanity with a historic chance to progress a few feet forward. The author argues that only when democracy and capitalism reach the roots of society, however, can these ideas blossom into true positive change in the post-communist world.
From the paper:
"What happened in 1989 was not a revolution itself, but actually the final nail in the coffin of a revolution. The fall of the Soviet Union represented the end of a forty-year challenge to democracy and market capitalism, both of which had already been established as the status quo (at least of Europe, the main ?battlefield? of the Cold War). The revolution of western democracy and capitalism began in 1642 in England where the first popular rebellion against a monarchy brought about the execution of King Charles I. Less than a decade later, Thomas Hobbes, at least partially inspired by the upheaval in England, published his famous work Leviathan. Although he advocated submission to the absolute supremacy of the state, Hobbes was not concerned whether that state was ruled by a king or a parliament, and this non-commitment to monarchy laid the intellectual foundations for the development of democratic political theory. John Locke soon bridged the gap between Hobbes? realism and what would become liberalism with the ideas of majority rule, natural rights, property rights, and the responsibility of the state to uphold these ideals. Montesquieu added the issues of separated and balanced governmental powers, and Rousseau defended self-determination and civil liberty. Adam Smith introduced the world to comparative advantage and put forth the belief that the ability of every citizen to make his own economic choices created the most prosperous economy. The ideas of these philosophers, along with Madison, Jefferson, Ricardo, and ?the rest,? inspired more revolutions in America in 1776, France in 1789, across Europe in 1848, and again in American in 1860."

Abstract
This paper explains that 476 A.D. marks the beginning of ancient Rome's decline into provincialism and the onset of the "Dark Ages," when the people of Europe lived in ignorance because of the loss of precious documents and writings by many notable Roman authors, historians, and philosophers. The author points out four major events between the years 1200 and 1400 A.D. that demonstrate the interconnections of the Europe and other global regions: the Viking conquests and explorations of northern Europe and the shores of North America; the social and political effects of the Crusades; the explorations and discoveries of Marco Polo; and the widespread consequences of the bubonic plague, the Black Death. The paper relates that, in 1517, Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses, a list of grievances against the Roman Catholic Church, to the church door in Wittenberg, Germany, initiating almost three hundred years of strife within Europe and opening the minds of common people to the true nature of the Catholic Church, which allowed them to ponder their own destinies outside the control of the Church.
From the Paper
"Thus, the Crusades helped to bring Western Europe into the modern age and changed forever the face of European society. Yet the third major event brought even more change to not only western Europe but also to Asia, namely the explorations and travels of Marco Polo (1254-1324). The account of his travels and discoveries in The Description of the World (1296), dictated while a prisoner of the Genovese government, covers much geographical area, from Constantinople (present-day Istanbul) in the Ottoman Empire to Japan, Siberia and Africa."

""Beauty is appealing and yet causes great anxiety…Make-up both conceals and reveals while it hides and invites" (http://www.beautyworlds.com/cosmetics).
The use of cosmetics to alter one's appearance goes back through time by thousands of years. Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans were all known to have utilized colors to define facial features and perfumes or oils to alter bodily humors. Previous centuries saw cosmetic agents such as lead oxide, mercuric sulfide and even belladonna or deadly nightshade being utilized in some form to create cosmetic substances. These agents were harmful and have been replaced.
The commercial cosmetic industry made substantial growth within the early 20th century. Many attribute this to the publication of pamphlets informing women of proper diet, ..."

The Catholic Church during the European Renaissance, 2004.
This paper discusses the corruption of the Catholic Church during the European Renaissance, which led to the religious thought of Martin Luther, John Calvin, and Erasmus.

Abstract
This paper explains that, not only was the Catholic Church abusively indulgent, but also Church laws, such as the vows of abstinence and poverty, were openly flouted. The author points out that, during this time, there was a huge rebirth in the concept of the individual known as Humanism, which was incredibly threatening to the Catholic Church. The paper relates that, in 1519, Martin Luther, unhappy with the hypocrisies and disregard he saw in the Catholic Church, nailed his 95 theses on the wall of Castle Church in Wittenberg, thus founding the religious movement known as Protestantism, which was just one part of the revolution in thinking taking place during the Enlightenment.
From the Paper
"In 1500, corruption and hypocrisy in the Catholic Church were rampant. For example, indulgences were used as means of coercion and manipulation rather than for the original purposes, they were intended. An indulgence is the full or partial remission before God of temporal punishment for sins that have been forgiven. According to Encarta, ?It is granted by ecclesiastical authority and is considered to be a special form of intercession made by the whole church through its liturgy and prayers for the reconciliation of one of its members, living or dead.? In simpler words, it can be thought of as not only having one?s sins pardoned, but having them wiped totally clean from one?s record as well. It would be like not only having a speeding ticket dismissed, but also then having all knowledge of that ticket?s existence being removed from any and all records pertaining to the driver in question."

?Oedipus Rex? Misinterpreted, 2004.
This paper discusses that ?Oedipus Rex? is a very powerful psychological play, but it is simply not Freudian.
1,850 words (approx. 7.4 pages), 5 sources, MLA, £ 41.95

Abstract
This paper explains that ?Oedipus Rex? deals with more modern psychological questions, such as the existence of genetic sexual attraction between shattered families and the existence of a fate, which determines our lives. The author points out that it certainly appears Freud was more interested in creating his nascent field of psychology than in doing a close reading of the Oedipus myth. The paper relates that the idea of a biological fate, which can be fought tooth-and-nail and yet still not be overcome, is central to the psychology of Oedipus, and it is certainly something with which readers can identify today.
From the Paper
"One could indeed make a Jungian analysis of this story, and say that Oedipus was in fact afraid of his own shadow -- which is not why he married his mother, but which may be why he fled from his old home and lashed out so violently against Tieresias and others who tried to help him. (Sophocles) Jung suggests that those who repress their shadow rather than dealing with it may find that it takes over their lives, as Oedipus was consumed by his cruel tyranny because he so feared the idea that his shadow would try to harm his parents. One might also try to argue that Jocasta was Oedipus? Anima (his female self whom he repressed and therefore lusted after and needed to be complete) but that?s an entirely different essay, because it?s both theoretical and more or less honest to the story. However, in other ways Oedipus shows no sign of having an Oedipal Complex, for he is neither afraid of having or using power, nor possessed of any sexual interest in the mother that raised him."
