    Linus Pauling is said to be one of the most significant scientists to have ever lived. Given Pauling’s wide array of accomplishments, ranging from winning the nobel peace prize to solving complex atomic structures, it is easy to see why he has earned the respect of so many in the scientific community. Pauling was born on February 28, 1901 in Portland, Oregon. Even as a young boy he took interest in science; a friend introduced him to a toy chemistry set, and instantly young Linus was hooked and began conducting basic experiments in his basement. Pauling’s interest in chemistry never subsided, in fact he excelled in chemistry throughout his high school and college career (“Biographical Information”).…

    The March of Dimes foundation was started by Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1938 to defeat polio after he had been diagnosed. I have chosen to write about this organization because I have participated in multiple of the marches that are held in the Lee County region. Many of my family members have worked at Publix which strongly supports the March of Dimes foundation and partakes in all events held in our area. My family and I have attended as many of the marches that we can to support their great cause.…

    Gaby Rodriguez’s The Pregnancy Project is a memoir that focuses on the high rate of unexpected teen pregnancies in low income, poverty-ridden areas. Rodriguez’s personal experiences with teen pregnancies through her family inspired her to encourage a change. Her mother and her siblings each became a teen parent, and Rodriguez became a witness to the hardships and struggles faced when teens experience an unintended pregnancy, and struggle to financially support their child(ren), often due to being unable to continue their education. Rodriguez, although many - including her siblings - believe she will make the same mistakes as her family, does not want to be seen as “... just another pregnant teen statistic with no future”…

    Depressive disorder is not a normal part of aging. Emotional experiences of sadness, response to loss, grief and the blues are normal. However, depression that interferes with the ability to function normally is not. There is a low rate of diagnosis and treatment in older adults. Health professionals may mistakenly think persistent depression is an acceptable response to other serious illnesses and coping with the way their lives have changed. Although some elderly people may share this attitude as well, it is not necessarily true. Depression should be treated when it occurs at the same time as other medical illnesses. Untreated depression can delay recovery or worsen the outcome of these other illnesses.…

    Prenatal care

    Proper prenatal care, nutrition and appropriate medical attention are imperative for a healthy pregnancy. However with ever increasing health insurance and medical costs, it is incredibly expensive to stay insured or cover pregnancy-related expenses out of pocket. The costs of delivery are increasing and the expense of insurance doesn't seem much better. There are resources available which may be able to provide free or low-cost prenatal care. In the US, the Health Resources Service Administration can provide you with information on prenatal services in your area by calling 1-800-311-BABY. The American Pregnancy Association also has information on insurance for pregnant women, including government-funded Medicaid. Medicaid often provides coverage for what is not paid by most insurance companies. WIC is another program available that provides federal assistance to women, infants and children. Dietary supplements and referrals to health care services, and advice on breastfeeding are just some of the ways that WIC helps pregnant mothers to be. The local health department in your county may offer free prenatal vitamins and prenatal care to low-income pregnant women. The Food Stamp Program, currently known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program(SNAP), is another federally funded program designed to help single individuals and families with little or no income to buy food. You must meet the income limits to qualify. Local churches are another source you can utilize for help with nutrition for you or your baby.…

    Prenatal Development has three main stages. The first stage, also known as the germinal period, begins with conception that creates a fertilized egg. The cell division begins 24 to 36 hours after the conception. The mass of the cells, known as the embryo, is the next stage of the prenatal development. The beginning of this period is the time when the mass of cells becomes distinct human being. By the tenth week, the gestational stage of the embryo has acquired the basic form and the next period is the fatal development in which the organs become fully developed. The fetal period has chronologically a major occurrence that’s listed by the gestational age. The cardiovascular system is the earliest activity that begins with the blood vessels…
