Abstract This article includes an overview of the separate medical conditions of chlamydia infection and osteoporosis. At first, the writer presents a general introduction to the chlamydia infection. This is followed by an examination into the symptoms and diagnosis of this medical condition. The writer discusses treatment for the infection and looks into follow up of the treatment. The writer then applies a similar examination to the condition of osteoporosis.
From the Paper "Chlamydia is a curable sexually transmitted disease caused by bacteria called Chlamydia trachomalis. It can be contracted during oral vaginal or anal sexual contact with an infected partner. The bacteria live in vaginal fluid or semen. The infection may move inside the body if not treated and infect the cervix fallopian tubes and urinary canal. It can cause pelvic inflammatory disease. Chlamydia can sometimes occur without producing symptoms. Symptoms usually occur one to three weeks after infection. There may be an abnormal discharge of mucus ... "
Abstract Chlamydia is the most prevalent sexually transmitted disease in America. It is a bacterial infection, readily treated with antibiotics, but often produces no symptoms. Chlamydia infects approximately four million people a year in the United States. This paper looks at the cause of the disease, its signs and symptoms, how it is treated, what nurses need to know when treating Chlamydia patients and how to prevent the transmission of Chlamydia during sexual intercourse
From the Paper "About half of all cases of Chlamydia infection occur in girls between the ages of 16 and 19, and as many as one in 10 sexually active teenage girls may be infected (2). This is because the immature cervix in girls is lined with fresh tissue easily susceptible to bacterial infection. The danger from infection with Chlamydia is that the infection does not stop at the cervix, but moves up to include the uterus and fallopian tubes, and the damage it causes may go undetected for years. Chlamydia infection may result in infertility by causing inflammation of the fallopian tubes, resulting in scarring and closing off of the tubes, preventing fertilization of eggs. This condition is known as pelvic inflammatory disease, a condition that affects up to one million women in the United States, and half of these cases may be due to Chlamydia."
Abstract This proposal focuses on a descriptive study that will verify through research whether the 1999 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) reiteration of its position on STD treatment guidelines make sense. The proposed study quantitatively measures the amount of Chlamydia Trachomatis in a convenience sample of male and female clients between the ages of sixteen and twenty-one (16-21). The research requires each subject to consent to a voluntary urine amplified specimen collection in order to meet the lab testing requirements for testing for Chlamydia. Justification is based on an opportunity for health plans to create new guidelines for bottom line improvements within the healthcare system.

From the Paper "Adolescents and young adults have the highest rates of Chlamydia infections compared with other age groups (Jensen, Fogh, & Prag, 2003). Early detection of this infection can reduce disease spread and prevent the sequelae of untreated Chlamydia infections (Perkins, Carlisle, & Jackson, 2003). Even with considerable advances in the medical field, today Chlamydial infections continue to pose a threat to the health and welfare of individuals. Chlamydia infections frequently are asymptomatic, (Colvin, 2000) so screening programs have been emphasized but, unfortunately several obstacles reduce the likelihood that persons in this age group will be screened."
Abstract The paper describes the disease and the associated complications. It lists the advantages of screening for the disease and goes on to describe the prescribed treatment. Prevention of contraction is also discussed.
From the Paper "Chlamydia is one of the most common sexually transmitted bacteria infections in the United States (Knowles 1). The complete name for it is chlamydia (klak-MIH-dee-ah) (trachomatis (trah-ko-MAH-tis). This disease can infect the penis, vagina, anus, urethra, or eyes. It has been know for causing blindness for centuries. Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted disease. The problem with this STD is that there may be no symptoms. Over three million American women and men have this disease each year. This disease has been reported to cause more than 250,000 cases of acute epididymitis. "Epididymitis can lead to sterility" (Knowles 1)."
Abstract This paper looks at the causes and describes the symptoms of most common STDs, including HIV/AIDS, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, trichomoniasis, Genital HPV, Genital Herpes, and Chancroid.
From the Paper "This paper will look at the history of sexually transmitted disease sand HIV AIDS and their symptoms. Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) affect men and women of all socioeconomic levels and backgrounds. Despite the progress that has been made in the United States on prevention of STDs over the past four decades, the U S has the highest rate of STDs in the industrialized world. An estimated million new cases of STDs are reported each year in the U.S. This is because..."
Abstract This paper suggests health-promotion ideas for infants, toddlers, school-aged children, teens, young adults, and older adults. The paper also makes suggestions on how to counsel a 16-year-old girl with Chlamydia who is having unprotected sex.
From the Paper "Infant Breastfeeding is preferable to bottle feeding for infants because it provides the right balance of fatty acids, lactose, water and amino acids for human digestion, brain development and growth. FDA Studies have shown that breast-fed babies are healthier and have fewer infections than formula fed babies because breast milk transfers antibodies from the mother to the baby protecting them from such diseases as pneumonia, botulism, bronchitis, staphylococcal infections, influenza ,ear infections and German measles. However, mothers who are taking certain medications such as chemotherapy drugs, lithium..."
Abstract This paper analyses the impact termination of pregnancies (TOPs) have on women from the perspective of different genres, facilitated by the author's work in gynaecological nursing and looking after women undergoing such medical conditions along with other gynaecological related ones. It looks objectively at multiple TOPs and their physical, psychological, cultural and religious effects on women.

Conclusion
From the Paper "A standard definition from the Encyclopedia and Dictionary of Medicine, Nursing and Allied Health would describe this termination of pregnancy as, "-is the termination of pregnancy before the fetus is viable. In the medical sense, the terms abortion and miscarriage both refer to the termination of pregnancy, before the fetus is capable of survival outside the uterus. In general language, however, abortion most often refers to a deliberate interruption of pregnancy, whereas miscarriage connotes a spontaneous or natural loss of the fetus". A study conducted in Iowa, United States, showed more prevalent rates of abortions or induced terminations rather than miscarriages or spontaneous ones, and that even amongst younger women on a general trend."
Abstract This paper discusses the argument for a sexually transmitted disease (STD) registry. It discusses the ways that the US should instate an STD registry and the benefits that may be gained from doing so. The paper also analyzes other countries where STD is at epidemic proportions to see the possible future in the United States if the situation is not addressed adequately at present.
From the Paper "A possible solution to the epidemic of sexually Transmitted diseases is to create a public STD registry. The discussions of solutions have been mediocre compared to the idea of a public registry. Although STD is a well known term, most do not know that they are spreading so quickly. The Centers of Disease Control and Prevention reports that nineteen million new STD infections occur each year and almost half of those infected are between the ages of fifteen to twenty-four. Not only does it affect people, it also affects the economy (sec 3). The Centers of Disease Control and Prevention also reports that the United States is seeing thirteen billion dollars in medical costs due to sexually transmitted diseases (sec 3). Many people are going undiagnosed, and are unknowingly spreading STDs. Sexually Transmitted diseases are growing at an alarming rate in the United States of America. A registry is one solution to help suppress and reduce the amount of cases of sexually transmitted diseases in the United States of America and possibly around the world."
