Abstract
This paper examines the ideas of popular sovereignty, the Lecompton Constitution, and the New England Immigrant Aid Society, with respect to the 1854-1861 struggle in Kansas between those opposed to slavery, those in favor of slavery, and those in favor of leaving the issue up to the states to decide. In addition, the paper examines the Pottawatomie Massacre and Quantrill's Raid.

From the Paper
"Popular sovereignty, otherwise known as squatter sovereignty, began in 1850. This political doctrine promoted controversy by stating that people n federal territories should have free will when it came to whether or not their territories would enter the Union as a slave state or a free state. First applied to Utah and New Mexico territories, the doctrine was used in the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska act in 1854. This act repealed the previously applied prohibition of slavery north of the 36 30 latitude line. Thus, the Kansas territory was given the right to choose for themselves how their territory would enter the Union (NPS, "Overview")."

Abstract
This paper examines the connection between an aortic graft to a duodenum fistula as a cause for upper GI bleeding. Generally, aortic grafts are used to treat abdominal aortic aneurysms. The paper defines aortic aneurysms as a weak area in the wall of the abdominal aorta, the artery that carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body. The paper concludes that aortic grafting can be a major cause of GI bleeding as an after effect of treating an abdominal aortic aneurysm and a method of treatment requires replacement of the stent-graft.

From the Paper
"Treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms may require surgery but for some patients, a new non-surgical treatment called stent-graft repair can be performed. The following is the results of a prospective, nonrandomized, multicenter clinical trial that compared endovascular stent graft exclusion of abdominal aortic aneurysms with open surgical repair. During an 18-month period, 250 patients with infrarenal aneurysms underwent treatment at 12 study sites. 190 patients underwent endovascular repair using the Medtronic AneuRx stent graft (Sunnyvale, California), and 60 underwent open surgical repair. There was no significant difference in operative mortality rates between the groups. The patients who underwent stent grafting had significant reductions in blood loss and days in the intensive care unit and in the hospital, with an earlier return to function. Primary technical success at the time of discharge for the patients with stent grafts was 77%, largely as a result of a 21% endoleak rate. At one month, the endoleak rate had decreased to 9%."

"SUBARACHNOID HEMORRHAGE
Abstract
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), intracranial hemorrhage into the subarachnoid space, may be aneurysmal or nonaneurysmal. Causes of SAH are uncertain, risk factors include family history of aneurysms, age, alcohol, cigarettes, and hypertension. Warning signs are a severe and sudden headache, emesis, and developing stiff neck. Annual incidence in North America is approximated at 10 cases per 100,000 people; nonaneurysmal SAH represents around 15 percent of the population. Computed tomography (CT) is used to test for SAH, followed by lumbar puncture. Catheter cerebral angiography is the current standard for the diagnosis of aneurysm SAH. SAH results in death or disability (around 55 percent); nonaneurysm SAH has a better.."

Abstract
This paper examines those elements of a classic tragedy such as The Spanish Tragedy, The Revenger's Tragedy and The White Devil that determine their effectiveness and their literary value. The paper contends that what makes such tragedies great is that they all push away from rather than towards classic Aristotelian code of catharsis into something else, which brings them startlingly close to the discourses of post-modernity. The paper concludes that by their (ir)resolution they are forced to be introspective, asking as opposed to answering questions of morality and encouraging the exploration of the audience's notions of self as individuals and as a culture. The references are presented in table format in this paper.

From the Paper
"The title quotation raises many relevant issues about what makes a tragedy good; is it the ability to create an emotive response in an audience, an Aristotelian notion of catharsis, a sense of vindication and justice, psychological viability of character, forcing an audience to question their existing notions of morality, or a combination of the above? Equally questionable is the concept of 'the bad' in relation to the good; is it as black and white as one may first perceive?
"The concept of 'the bad' within the context of the Revenge Tragedy is very much dependent on contemporary attitudes towards revenge itself. In earlier English culture, especially pre-Norman conquest where there was no centralised means for the sanctioning of crime, the vindication of a wrong was not only an option for an injured party but it was expected in order to uphold one's honour. However by the Elizabethan age attitudes appear to have changed considerably, and revenge faced 'the denunciations of the clerics and moralists' (Fred Bowers Elizabethan Revenge tragedy p12), and a system of justice governed by the state was in place and "it exercised a force second to none in the constant war against the private lawlessness of the times" (ibid). So by this reasoning both the instigator of reprisal and the perpetrator of the offence are to be condemned as 'the bad."

Abstract
The paper discusses how a disputed election in Kenya led to riots, and this caused a disruption of the nation's safari tourism industry. The paper explains that this $2 billion annual industry is the basis to ecology efforts to preserve wildlife as well as the engine which drives the nation's economy. The paper then notes that Kenya has a history of peace which contrasts to many of its neighbors, so the riots were disruptive.

Abstract
In this paper, the primary issue with American foreign policy in Latin America was the Cold War stance to avoid communism or socialist policy taking over countries that could provide valuable economic resources and political ideologies that supported capitalism. In this case, the American policy had to be intensified due to the competition for national allegiances to either the Soviets or the United States.

Abstract
This paper analyzes the purpose and intent of Art Spiegelman's books "Maus: A Survivor's Tale: My Father Bleeds History" and "Maus: A Survivor's Tale: And Here My Troubles Began". The paper discusses the intensely personal side of the story and suggests that it tells a great deal about Spiegelman's motivations for creating these books. It discusses the themes and emotions that he reveals in the books.

From the Paper
"When considering Art Spiegelman's books Maus: A Survivor's Tale: My Father Bleeds History and Maus: A Survivor's Tale: And Here My Troubles Began, the reader twice asks, "Why did Art Spiegelman write these?" That is, the reader wonders what purpose Spiegelman hoped his books would serve, and what personally drove Spiegelman to write the books in the first place. Though related, these are two different questions. These books are very personal works that not only chronicle his father's experiences as a Jew in Poland during WWII, but also reveal "Artie's" struggles to relate to his father. The intensely personal side of the story tells a great deal about Spiegelman's motivations for creating these books; this aspect is about Artie. Yet clearly purpose of the books is not to tell Artie's story, but to tell Vladek's."

Abstract
This case study discusses two possible nursing diagnoses in a comatose patient post-intracranial hemorrhage secondary to an AVM bleed. Tracheotomy care and providing comfort, particularly through touch, were discussed. Each diagnosis and intrevention is justified in the context of the patient's present state, followed by a detailed discussion of possible interventions and associated issues.

From the Paper
"The placement of an endotracheal tube and eventually a tracheotomy tube was necessary in Mrs. Trans's case because of her impaired consciousness (Durbin, 2005).On day one, her arterial blood gases results showed the following: Vent. Rate NA L/min FIO[2] NA % pH 7.42 (7.35-7.45) pCO[2] 39 mmHg (35-45) pO[2] 143 mmHg (80-110) HCO[3] 24 mmol/L (22-30) Std HCO[3] 25 mmol/L (22-30) Base Excess 0 mmol/L (-3/+3) O[2] Sat 99 % (>94) Note that the immediate concern at the time was the emergency neurosurgery that was undertaken, in which case, general anesthesia would have been the more immediate indication for an artificial airway and oxygen therapy (Baillie, Corben & Higham, 2005)."

Abstract
The paper looks at the origins of third molars, as well as the different types of impaction that can occur, and examines the surgical procedures for removal of mandibular impactions. Next, the paper identifies the range of complications that can occur post operatively, that include dry socket, pain and edema, excessive bleeding and infection, and also addresses complications that occur infrequently, such as severance of nerves, aspiration, mandibular fracture and the hyperextensions of the jaw. The paper emphasizes that third mandibular molar extraction is a common procedure that can be performed safely and with as little discomfort as possible if proper attention to the potential complications of the procedure are addressed as a part of standard surgical practices.

Conclusion

From the Paper
"The third molars are often referred to as the "wisdom teeth." We have one set of mandibular and one set of maxillary third molars. They are some of last teeth to come in and usually arrive sometime between 17 and 25 years old. They are called "wisdom teeth" because the person is supposed to have gained some wisdom by that time ("What Are Wisdom Teeth?" 2009). Sometimes they do not come in as planned and will come in at an angle. When they do this, they can affect adjacent teeth. Most people have four, but sometimes a person can have more or less than average ("What Are Wisdom Teeth?" 2009). Impacted mandibular third molars are a common condition among young adults (Obiechina, Oji, & Fasola, 2001). Despite their common occurrence, few academic studies exist regarding their extraction and complications associated with the procedure.
"Third molars can become impacted for a number of reasons. Insufficient musculo skeletal development of the mandible is the most common cause of impaction (Ma'aita, 2000). It can also because by a mismatch between the growth rates of the molar and the mandible (Ma'aita, 2000). The end result is that there is not enough room for the molars to grow and they begin to crowd the ramus (Ma'aita, 2000). Unerrupted third molars have been associated with the pathological development of a number of conditions. These include cystic lesions, neoplasms, pericoronitis, periodontitis, and root resorption (Ma'aita, 2000). In addition, the impacted molar can also cause harm to adjacent teeth (Ma'aita, 2000)."

Abstract
This paper looks at the most common genetic bleeding disorder von Willebrand disease, which affects roughly 3 percent of the world's population including all genders and races and which is determined by a gene on chromosome 12, although occasionally it occurs as a new mutation. It discusses how hemophilia is due to either a low level of one of the clotting factors, or a completely missing clotting factor, which essentially means that it takes a long time for the blood to clot after an accident or injury. It looks at how its major signs and symptoms are bleeding and bruising. The paper also examines treatment options such as replacement therapy, home-infusion therapy and the use of aminocaproic acid.

From the Paper
"Hemophilia is due to either a low level of one of the clotting factors, or a clotting factor is completely missing, which essentially means that it takes a long time for the blood to clot after an accident or injury (Hemophilia 2006). The clotting process, also called blood coagulation, is the body's response to bleeding that keeps it from losing too much blood, which can be life threatening and/or cause damage to the internal organs (Hemophilia 2006). These clotting factors are proteins in the blood that work with platelets to help the blood to clot, thus when blood vessels are damaged, the clotting factors help the platelets adhere together to basically plug cuts and breaks at the injury site (Hemophilia 2006).
