Abstract
The paper reveals that there are several short-term and long-term ailments associated with cesarean deliveries for mothers. This study proposes a semi-structured interview to examine whether physicians have sufficient knowledge about the process to minimize the impact of post-surgery ailments related to unplanned cesarean deliveries. The paper also explores whether physicians across different hospitals adopt identical procedures to minimize this impact. This includes short-term risks, long-term risks and risks to future pregnancies.

From the Paper
"Unplanned cesarean deliveries can take place when induced and/or continued labor may turn out to be harmful for either the mother or the child or both. Doctors prefer unplanned cesarean deliveries when the child fails to make a movement towards the birth channel; or when the cervix fails to open up; or when the child's heart rate is abnormal and it is assumed that the child can no longer deal with continued labor; or when prolapsed cord slides through the cervix which endangers child's oxygen supply; or when placental abruption takes place and sufficient oxygen cannot be delivered; or when the water breaks; or when the genital herpes erupts."

Abstract
This essay opens with a discussion of how personality can affect health, wellness, and various afflictions one may come across. It discusses research over the years which has shown that various surgeries have been performed in relation to stress induced causes, rather than true organic ones. The paper continues in this vein to discuss behavioral techniques that may be taken to address physical and other ailments.

From the Paper
"In that regard, the specific mechanism identified is primarily a function of: (1) the psychological repression of negative emotions such as anger and rage, fear, anxiety, guilt, and shame; (2) the resulting displacement of that stress from the conscious mind in alternate areas where it manifests itself as physical symptoms; (3) the influence of chronically high levels specific hormones associated with the biological stress response, such as cortisol; (4) chronic overwork of the circulatory and respiratory systems; and (5) the chronic reduction of re-oxygenation of tissues through blood flow (Sarno, 2007).
To a certain extent, susceptibility to the long-term medical consequences of stress are subject to hereditary influence. In that respect, different individuals have very different natural physiological responses to various triggers of exposure to environmental stress (Friedman, 1990). Nevertheless, many of the differences that enable some individuals to avoid the secondary consequences of unavoidable stress can be taught and learned through conscious effort and purposeful conditioning, or de-conditioning, as the case may be (Acosta, 1990; Sarno, 2007). This is especially true to the extent that various aspects of the natural response to stress are learned rather than functions of innate genetic predisposition."

Abstract
Kolata (2008) provided an article relating to ligament injuries in children (p. 1). Kolata (2008) states that most knee ligament injuries in the past have been diagnosed as other injuries, instead of ligament ailments (p. 1). This is because it has long been assumed that children did not injure ligaments specifically and that injuries that mirrored ligament problems had to be associated with other issues (Kolata, 2008, p. 1). Yet, Kolata (2008) stipulates that once children were finally receiving imaging services that could detect the exact issue pertaining to limb injuries, what physicians discovered was that decades of misdiagnosed injuries were believed to exist (p. 1). The reason behind this conclusion was due to the fact that through imaging doctors could finally see that ligament injuries in children did occur and that a diagnosis of ligament injuries related to sports is becoming more common (Kolata, 2008, p. 2).

Abstract
The paper shows how there exist written records that date back to 3500 years ago on the use of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). The writer shows that although called traditional, it actually went through a series of changes and adaptations to various influences, such as politics, economics, science, technology and social and cultural alterations, to a point that Western medicine almost replaced it particularly with the fall of the Qing dynasty in 1911. From its restoration in the middle 50s and it has continued to serve and benefit the Chinese people, as well as the rest of the world today. The paper shows how TCM is used to treat modern ailments, especially mental disorders such as alcoholism and schizophrenia.

"Another stress-reducing, relaxing method is massage which manipulates the soft tissues in restoring normal health. It "stimulates blood circulation, relaxes tense muscles and aids the movement of lymph fluids which carry toxins out of tissues. This technique does not only relax the body and mind but also induces the release of endorphins, which are bodily produced pain-killers in and from the brain, for overall well-being (Allina). Meditation is a popular practice of calm concentration that gradually eliminates the effects of external stimuli and produces a stress-free state and inner harmony. Alcoholics can benefit from this technique by daily practicing it and regaining self-control, proper perspective and sobriety (Allina)."

"This paper is an overview of Laurie Garrett's The Coming Plague: Newly Emerging Diseases in a World Out of Balance, a study of the recent emergence of viruses, bacteria, and diseases and the responses they invoked in the international health community. Her account details the detective work required in recognizing and dealing with life-threatening diseases. She also shows clearly the effects of international politics, economics, psychology, and other factors significant to attempts to understand and contain health crises. Repeatedly, her stories chronicle scientific ignorance and scientific arrogance, as modern medicine's confidence in its ability to eventually conquer disease begins to falter in the face of poverty, insufficient resources, and the remarkable ability of microbes to adapt to new obstacles. She demonstrates the complexity of international..."

"Theories of Physiology and Disease of Ancient Scientists

The purpose of this paper is to present several ancient scientists' theories of physiology and disease. In addition it will explain and interpret their various philosophies of life which had so great a bearing on the way they perceived the physiology of the human body and disease. Furthermore, this paper will attempt to prove that the observations of the Greek physician Galen about the workings of the actual mechanisms existing at the time in his day-to-day life, had a far greater impact on his interpretation of the physiology of the human body, than did the writings and teachings of his predecessors. This paper will demonstrate how the processes on which Galen modeled ..."

Abstract
This paper explains that society's dependence on pills and medications is fueled by our desire to find the easiest and quickest way out of problems instead of simply living a healthy lifestyle. The paper explores the specific causes of society's overmedication, which involve greedy and misleading drug companies, inattentive and disinterested doctors, and uninformed patients and caregivers. The paper focuses on the lack of monitoring of dosage and drug interactions in elderly and in children. The paper emphasizes that patients should maintain healthy lifestyles by eating right and exercising more with the understanding that we cannot fix every ailment with a pill.

From the Paper
"Our society prides itself on being quick and efficient - we order lunch while sitting in our cars at fast food restaurants, and we do our shopping on the internet and have our orders sent directly to our front doors. This need for immediate gratification carries over into the medical industry as well. Medication is available for every ailment and many times proves to be the quick fix that both patients and doctors want and need. Often times a patient has been struggling with a condition for years, only to learn that one tiny pill can make that condition bearable or possibly even cure it. This is the miracle of the science and an amazing benefit of our advanced technological knowledge. But the excitement over a "miracle cure" can cause both doctors and patients to overlook the negative effects of medication, and too many tablet-sized phenomena combined can cause unexpected and fatal outcomes."

Abstract
This paper discusses the timeless nature of Arthur Miller's 1949 play, "Death of a Salesman." The paper discusses the character, Willy Loman and his failing psychological condition. It shows how, in his examination of this emotional ailment as it impacts Willy, Miller provides a psychoanalytical investigation, not just of a man but of a country and culture.

From the Paper
"In the two sons, there is reproach for Willy. With his suicide though, the empathy and emotion which is displayed by both, uncharacteristic given the distance between many of the figures throughout the play, suggests that the audience is expected to forgive Loman for his trespasses of ineffectualness and social conformity. Miller exonerates the salesman by recognizing that his psychological condition is a product of his environment rather as much as of his character, ultimately offering a work that resonates with key themes which afflict us in modern life."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that self-empowerment, facilitated by the nurse as teacher is the most hopeful model for the treatment of childhood obesity and early onset cases of type II diabetes. The writer maintains that, although clinical outcomes promoting these strategies do not show the conclusive results in mitigating the effects of diabetes, or in reducing patient body mass indexes in the long run as weight-loss surgery, nurses must try to create effective self-directed counseling programs that offer less risky prescriptions than surgery for the young. The writer concludes that nurses today must acknowledge their unique role in treating lifestyle ailments, as well as remember that their clinical practice cannot heal all of society nor completely control an environment that constantly facilitates the patient's predicament.

From the Paper
"The current medical literature stresses the need for patient empowerment for diabetics and pre-diabetics of all ages. When the ailment typically occurred in only older adults, insulin therapy was thought to be the first recourse of treatment. However, in younger adults and children the individual has greater power to reverse or mitigate the symptoms of the illness. Today's treatment protocols call for a combination of diet, exercise, and medications when treating diabetics. The aim is to maintain blood glucose levels as close to normal as possible through healthy diet and exercise, although when diet and exercise do not provide adequate control of blood glucose, medications may be added to the treatment plan."
