...The side effects brought about by Winstrol use can be very serious, so understanding the nature of Winstrol and its use as an anabolic steroid should first be understood in order to understand how serious the risk of harmful side effects are. Also understanding why a person would use Winstrol in the first place can also be a factor for its popularity yet dubious association with many sports governing bodies. Winstrol is an anabolic steroid developed by Winthrop Laboratories in 1962. Sometimes known by its scientific name stanozolol, it is commonly ingested orally, but is also available in an intramuscular version called Winstrol Depot. This substance is not esterified unlike most anabolic steroids available on the market today, and is sold...

...Heparin: Costs and Deadly Side Effects Heparin is a blood thinner, prescribed by physicians and surgeons for kidney-dialysis and post surgical patients to prevent blood clots. One of the key ingredients in Heparin is derived from the mucous membranes of pig intestines; pigs naturally produce proteins used in pharmaceutical products. Baxter International, a very large multinational health care company based in Deerfield, Illinois, whose sales totaled $11.26 billion in 2007, partnered with Scientific Protein Laboratories (SPL) to provide Baxter with the key ingredient for Heparin. SPL was started in 1976 by Oscar Meyer Company in Waunakee, Wisconsin. In 2007, a team of quality control specialists from Baxter International visited a facility in the Zhejiang Province, which is located in a remote area north of Shanghai, China. This facility is owned by its partner, SPL. The quality control team found nothing unusual and gave the facility a “clean bill of health.” Approximately a month and a half later, after using Heparin for two months while on dialysis, an American woman, Bonnie Hubley, died on December 19. She had been rushed to the hospital two days prior with various complications, such as diarrhea, vomiting, as well as substantial pains in her chest and abdominal areas. Within two days of admittance into intensive care, she slipped into unconsciousness and was placed on a breathing tube, deteriorating rapidly. The doctors at the Toledo, Ohio hospital were stunned...

...are four questions which can help create value for a company’s product or service. What can the products or services provide that will be viewed above the industry standard? What things within the industry competition can be removed? Are there any factors that could be reduced below industry standards in order to create value? What can be created in this industry that no one else has offered before (Blue Ocean Strategy, 2015)? Coming up with solutions and answers to each of these questions can move a product farther into the blue ocean where competition has no effect on your product or service. These questions can also help companies understand where their product lies within the market and realize just how similar or different their product actually is (Blue Ocean Strategy, 2015). A product that entered the blue ocean a few years ago was the Yamaha Rhino. This is a utility terrain vehicle (UTV). Passengers sit side by side and the vehicle is much like a jeep just less expensive. Before this vehicle was introduced into the...

...Caffeine is the most consumed psychoactive drug in the world (Solinas et al, 2002). Caffeine has been known to have many side effects on hour external behavior and our internal physiological behavior. We use caffeine in our lives to sometimes stay awake to study or just get through the day. Caffeine decreases the blood flow to the brain by constricting the blood vessels but can also increase blood flow after continuous intake that may cause headaches (Kalat, 2004). Caffeine has a tendency to block adenosine (A1-, A2A-, A2B-, A3), which increases throughout the day to allow us to sleep and then decreases as we sleep which allows us to wake. Thus, if caffeine blocks adenosine we are unable to sleep when feeling the urge or wanting to sleep, which may cause us to decrease our caffeine intake. Caffeine acts to antagonize adenosine receptors, which then affects cell populations because it counteracts many adenosine effects. The caffeine mainly has an effect on the A2a adenosine receptors which then elevates the energy metabolism in the brain and also causes a decrease in cerebral blood flow (Cameron,et.al, 1990; Ghelardini, et.al, 1997; Nehliget.al,1992; Neuhauser-Berthold et.al, 1997). Along with caffeine affecting the adenosine it also has an effect on GABA receptors and the release of dopamine (Nehlig et.al, 1992). Caffeine not only blockades adenosine it also releases intracellular calcium, inhibits phosphodiesterases and blockade...

.... Medication is a jumble of chemicals, a foreign tongue to some, and in the dizzying world trying to even comprehend why or how medication works, they are slapped on with tons of side effects. The positive almost gets buried underneath a fog surrounding anything medicine related. Antidepressants often have backlashes such as inducing suicidal thoughts, but through careful monitoring of the treatment, it can be prevented. Often times, antidepressants have negative effects at first because the patient's brain and body are not used to it, but afterwards the effects subside and the patient feels much better. During these first stages of taking medication, it is crucial for friends, family and the doctor to pay attention to any changes in the patient as well as symptoms of any side...

...Some side effects of Xanax are drowsiness, dizziness, and increased saliva production. The more serious side effects of Xanax is mental changes, slurred speech, hallucinations, memory problems, and loss of coordination. “Alprazolam is used by drug addicts and has become a popular party drug during the last decade.” (Vester) Signs and symptoms of Xanax abuse are more likely noticed when a person has reached high levels of consumption. A person who has become dependent on this drug- which means they have come to rely on this drug psychologically as well being physically addicted-will probably need rehabilitation before they are able to embark on a new, sober life. When a person is addicted, they have found an escape from certain life problems...

...physically, and emotionally. They have also studied long term and short-term effects of divorce on children. For example, according to some reports, children from divorced homes are more likely to become divorced themselves. Conversely, other studies indicate that the quality of the post divorce home is more responsible for subsequent development in children than the divorce itself (Del Campo, 2004). With mixed results like these, it is hard for psychologists to tell for sure whether divorce has either a positive or negative effect on children. As a result, this section will present both sides of the issue. On the positive side, children from divorced families have been shown to benefit from their parents divorce if each parent is able to communicate effectively with each other and with their children. In addition, the parents must keep the children out of any squabbles unless it concerns them directly, such as in a custody decision. In these situations, children are more likely to do well during the divorce and are more likely to not exhibit many negative effects. On the negative side, however, children may feel that they have to choose sides or are still seeing tension between parents, which in the child’s eyes was supposed to be solved in the divorce. In these situations children may rebel or even go through a period of depression. With such a wide spectrum of effects and situations, most psychologists agree that children having or lacking...

...Negative Effects of Television Television is the most famous media communication in the world. Almost all people use television with many kinds of purposes such as entertainment. In addition, television brings a good side for children to gain various knowledge outside of school. However, some parents claim that television brings many negative effects toward their children. Based on my experience, I agree with that statement. First of all, television can make a big wall among family member relationships. For instance, when children are addicted to watching television, they will feel lazy to do anything such as eating, sleeping, etc. Even when one of the family members tries to make a conversation, they will answer back as simple as possible. Thus, this kind of attitude would cause a bad effect to relationships among family members. Secondly; now days, there are many action movies shown either via theaters or vie television. Even though it is much fun, but secretly, it makes a new shape of attitude for children. For example, if children often watching action movies, in the future, their responses for everything will be full of rude moves. Therefore, it is hard for children to make a good relationship around them. Lastly, every scene of movie might give a bad influence to children. For example, there is a movie which tells the audience about an alcoholic’s life. In that case, it is possible for children to drink alcohol at such a young age. In summary...

...Should marijuana be legalized? Many Americans have this question roaming through their heads. Marijuana is an illegal drug in the U.S. and many other countries; it comes from dried flowers and leaves of the hemp plant. It has been available since the 1960s, but is 20 times more potent than before. Many youngsters believe that marijuana should be illegalized. However, they fail to know its many long term side effects. In the long run marijuana usage has a very high effect on the person’s body. Also, it’s known for a fact that marijuana has a high rate for addiction. Some people also believe that marijuana is accepted as medical use; however this is not true. In my eyes, marijuana is illegal for extremely powerful reasons, and it should stay that way. Marijuana usage had a bad effect on one’s body. When people use marijuana they may not know what is happening inside of them. But however, there is a strong negative effect to the whole body. For one thing Marijuana increases heart rate by 20–100 percent shortly after smoking. In one study, it was estimated that those who use marijuana have a four point eight fold increase of a heart attack in just one hour after smoking the drug. Not only does this drug affect the heart, but it also greatly affects the lungs of a person. Many studies have showed that marijuana smoke carcinogens and to be an irritant to the lungs. They also show deregulated growth of epithelial cells in a person’s lung tissue. When people smoke marijuana they don’t...

...Ergonomic promotes efficiency in production and physiological effort. Efficiency in physiological effort means undertaking the job with less physical effort. It can also contribute towards the comfort of the workers and can help to improve the health standards of the workers. The research conducted on workers of diverse background clearly revealed that the designs of the machines were one of the root causes of most of the health related absenteeism. This was leading to increased absenteeism and the effect on the efficiency of the industry. The problems are not limited to the workers not turning up for work rather the effects can be felt by workers both in short and the long run which means there could be permanent damage to the worker. The author clearly rejects the notion of eradicating the faults of machines after its ill effects are known rather he suggests an approach of “prevention is better than cure”. Wely suggests three steps to prevent the problems from occurring. First would be to initiate better design of the equipment with the aid of ergonomics which should include deep insight from industrial physicians, followed by training the workers for the use of the machines which will enable them to understand the health hazards if the correct method is not followed and lastly the industrial medical service should be equipped with state of the art technology so that medical examinations can be conducted to identity the health conditions of the workers so that corrective actions...

...before they would even consider legalizing it. Marijuana, also known as pot, is a dried out weed that mixes the leaves, stems and even the flower of the cannabis, or the hemp plant and taken into the human body. It can be taken in by either smoking it or it taking it in with food. The main ingredient in marijuana is THC, which is short for delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (National Institute on Drug Abuse). THC is the most psychoactive compound found in marijuana (Taylor). “Marijuana is the most commonly abused illicit drug” (Wilbur, J). The ingredients in this plant are very dangerous and unhealthy for the human body. Now that Americans know what marijuana is, and some of the ingredients in it, they should consider the negative effect that marijuanahas in the health of the human body and how it affects the social aspects of the American people. First, look at some health issues associated with marijuana. Smoking marijuana can lead to withdrawal from the drug, some of those withdrawals included increased sleepiness, and the “munchies” ( Taylor). After smoking marijuana the heart rate is increased anywhere from twenty percent to one hundred percent which could be very...

...11-17-13 Amino Acids Amino acids are the supplement I am researching. This supplement is used to improve exercise performance and reduce muscle breakdowns. Also, they are used to prevent fatigue and improve concentration. Athletes seem to take this supplement as part of a plan as do bodybuilders. I can’t seem to find a time frame on effectiveness so I’m assuming there is none. Average dosage intake is 68 mg/kg/day. Some known side effects of amino acids are the cause of dropped blood sugar levels that could result in surgery. Also, another side effect known for overtaking is fatigue as well as loss of coordination. This supplement should be used cautiously if you’re going to operate a vehicle. Amino acids may decrease the effectiveness of the levodopa. Also, amino acids interact with diabetes medicines. Meat, eggs, and dairy are a major way to get amino acids if you do not want to take this supplements. I don’t believe it’s practical. It does seem to have a lot of research backing its safety. As a matter of fact it may be one of the most researched supplements. It is not necessary as you can get it with foods in your fridge. Vegetarians may need to take supplements but if you eat meat regularly you shouldn’t need to take this supplement. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein and are a key to your nutrition if taken correctly.
