Dow Corning's Breast Implants
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page report on the debate surrounding the use of silicone gel breast implants. Ralph Nader involved himself in the controversy in 1988. Since then, various groups have come forward with comments: consumer groups in favor of the implants, consumer groups in opposition to the implants, attorneys, insurance companies, plastic surgeons, and even Congress. That there have been problems with the implants is a point that no one contests. The issue at the core of the debate is whether silicone migrating to other areas of the body truly is, as was originally thought, biologically inert, or whether it contributes to some hidden reaction. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Early Detection of Breast Cancer
[ send me this paper ]
This 6 page report discusses
breast cancer and an early intervention and public awareness
campaign. Knowledge, as in most cases, is a powerful weapon.
Knowledge, is the primary motivating factor for breast
self-examination (BSE). Women must know if changes occur in
their breasts and what those changes could mean. Also discussed
is the appropriate channel of communication to be used to make
the greatest impact for the targeted audience. Determining which
will work best for encouraging women to practice BSE and other
forms of early breast cancer detection, as well as for any other
public health message, requires an understanding of the most
basic characteristics of which channel of communication can be
the most effective for this message. Bibliography lists 8
sources.

Eating Disorders: Female Verses Male Victims
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page discussion of the environmental and genetic causes of eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia. While it is an established belief that eating disorders are more likely to affect females than males, both sexes are affected. The reasons undoubtedly relate to genetics as well as to environmental factors. These reason also could be expected, however, to relate to the limited understanding of eating disorders. Interestingly, as our knowledge of this condition increases so too do the statistics regarding its manifestation in males. While the primary victim of eating disorders still appears to be females, there is undoubtedly some intersex overlap in the factors causing the condition. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
