Approximately 10 million women in the United States suffer from menorrhagia, a condition that causes heavy and prolonged periods. For a long time, the only options women had for treating this condition were either drug therapy or to have a hysterectomy — a lengthy and invasive surgical procedure to remove the uterus and sometimes the ovaries. Now more gynecologists, like William M. Jamieson M.D. in Cincinnati, are choosing to specialize in endometrial ablation techniques for their minimal evasiveness

Female Sterilization M. Reese, W. Rearden Aiken Technical College NUR 211 3/25/15 Female Sterilization Female sterilization is a highly effective method of birth control. It is a permanent procedure and is only done if the patient has no desire to have a future birth. Some women even opt for the procedure to be done immediately after their decision to have their final childbirth. With this procedure there is no need for other methods of birth control (to prevent pregnancy only) which

In eukaryotes, reproduction at a cellular level requires interphase, mitosis, and cytokinesis- collectively known as the cell cycle. Interphase includes the three stages: G1, S, and G2. The G1 (growth) phase is where the cell prepares for DNA and chromosome replication, taking approximately 10 hours. The S phase, 9 hours long, is where the DNA and chromosomes actually replicate giving 2 exact copies called sister chromatids. In G2, the cell takes four hours to prepare for cell division. Mitosis

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome or (PCOS) is a common condition in women of reproductive ages. Up to 70% of women with PCOS remain undiagnosed. Infertility is the most common symptom of PCOS.

Then the egg travels through

go through to form to nuclei with each of the nuclei containing the same number of chromosomes. Many eukaryotic organisms use this process for reproduction. Cells go though many cycles but all of the cycles happen in a specific event, some of which I partially mentioned above. The first in the Interphase cycle which is time it takes for a cell to perform its normal functions, depending on where it is in the human body. The next stage is the M state which includes both the division of the

The next set of birth control deals with the releasing of hormones to keep you from becoming pregnant. Combination pills contain a combination of the hormones estrogen and progesterone to prevent ovulation, the release of an egg during the monthly cycle. A woman cannot get pregnant if she doesn't ovulate because there is no egg to be fertilized. The Pill also works by thickening the mucus around the cervix, which makes it difficult for sperm to enter

The Role of the Gods in the Iliad In the era of Homer, divine intervention was thought to be typical, and one of his foremost works, The Iliad, reflects this. Nearly all of the Greek gods are involved in the outcome of the Trojan War, which happens to be the background story of this epic poem. The gods are used by Homer to add twists on an otherwise standard plot of war. Evidently, the gods will be a powerful source of divine intervention and their actions certainly have significant outcomes on
