Abstract
In his interview with Gayle Anderson-Dargatz, Nathaniel G. Moore writes that Anderson-Dargatz's writing has been compared to the writing of Gabriel Garcia Marquez. This refers to one of the most remarkable aspects of the book The Cure for Death by Lightning: the fact that it uses a lot of magical realism. This was one of the most striking aspects of the book for me, so it is not surprising to me that Moore compares Anderson-Dargatz to Marquez. At the same time, Anderson-Dargatz's novel also has much realism, which seems to be based on her personal experience.

Abstract
The paper contends that Alzheimer's disease is quickly becoming a national health and social crisis by virtue of the increasing age of the population. The paper focuses on embryonic stem cell research that is the most likely avenue of research into an effective cure, but relates that political opposition has limited scientists in this avenue. The paper argues for common sense to prevail and help millions of patients and their families.

From the Paper
"Alzheimer's disease is one form of age-related dementia, previously more often referred to collectively as senile dementia. It is characterized by gradually increasing mental deterioration and corresponding loss of memory, cognition, judgment, and of the ability to communicate. The disease is named for the German physician who first discovered it in 1906 by identifying abnormal amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in the brain tissues. Today, modern imaging technology is used to diagnose these characteristic brain changes that are associated with Alzheimer's (NIA 2006)."

Abstract
In this article, the writer studies and contrasts T. Coraghessan Boyle's "Greasy Lake" and Alice Munro's "An Ounce of Cure". The writer focuses on tone, setting, theme, narration, and characterization. Further, the writer discusses the theme of moral erosion in modern society.

From the Paper
"In T. Coraghessan Boyle's 'Greasy Lake' we are treated to the madness and mayhem of a group of deviant teenagers who are all described by the author as dangerous characters. Indeed the narrator and his two friends Digby and Jeff will involve themselves in a beating rape and murder. In Alice Munro's 'An Ounce of Cure', we are provided with the story of a teenage girl's coming of age that shows how a young girl is often shaped more ... "

Abstract
This three-page undergraduate research paper examines the relationship of the adolescent and adult selves of the protagonist in the short story, "An Ounce of Cure" by Alice Munro.

Abstract
This paper discusses and concludes that there will never be a cure to poverty. The author instead recommends that society starts learning more about it and realizes why it is that poverty has been hanging around for centuries. The author feels that if society has substantial knowledge of poverty problems, maybe then we can start working on a cure, even if it is not a permanent cure.

From the Paper
"Marriage is a constitutionally protected choice. The Supreme Court asserts that an individuals right to privacy regarding decisions to marry and reproduce as "one of the basic civil rights of man, fundamental to our very existence and survival." Marriage promotion mandates supported by Wade Horn and others essentially coerce economically vulnerable individuals to trade in their fundamental right to privacy regarding marital decisions in exchange for receiving job and life skills training. Government programs should not have the power to invade parents' most fundamentally private decisions regarding marriage as a condition for receiving federal funds. The United States of America is a country, which prides itself on freedom. The freedoms of this country's citizens are being compromised within our own government in the form of public policy. Poverty is a known factor in domestic violence situations; required marriage will only worsen the current growing trend in battering. Marriage is a civil right. It is not a cure for poverty."

Abstract
The paper explores the suggestion raised in the book about a possible relationship between psychotherapy and neurobiology. It delves into Vaughan's methods of psychotherapy and looks at her lack of scientific evidence in her proposals.

From the Paper
"In her book, The Talking Cure: The Science Behind Psychotherapy, Susan C. Vaughan MD. employs the knowledge and experience that she has gained in the fields of science and psychoanalysis, and combines them to propose an informative and innovative theory on the possible existence of a relationship between psychotherapy and neurobiology. Vaughan has earned her credentials and expertise as a research fellow of the National Institute of Mental Health and a senior candidate at the Columbia Center for Psychoanalytic Training and Research in New York City, allied to her continued studies into long-term psychotherapy and psychoanalysis at the New York State Psychiatric Institute. In addition to The Talking Cure, Vaughan has published two other books, Half Empty, Half Full, Understanding the Psychological Roots of Optimism (2001) and Viagra: A Guide to the Phenomenal Potency-Promoting Drug (1998), and her articles have appeared in publications such as, the International Journal of Psychoanalysis, The American Journal of Psychiatry, and The New Yorker."

Abstract
One of the more challenging disorders identified in the 20th century is cystic fibrosis, with the cause of the disease only being discovered relatively recently. Although improved multifaceted healthcare interventions have allowed many cystic fibrosis sufferers to live much longer than even a few years ago, life expectancies for people with this condition remain far lower than the population at large and the condition itself detracts from the quality of life in a number of ways for the sufferer and family members alike. Unfortunately, a cure for cystic fibrosis remains elusive and many people who suffer from the disease will still succumb to the cumulative effects of repeated infections over time. To determine what progress is being made in this area, this paper provides an overview of cystic fibrosis, including its cause, symptoms and current treatment protocols. A discussion of what types of current research initiatives are underway to identify new treatment interventions is followed by a summary of the research and salient findings in the conclusion.

From the Paper
"Cystic fibrosis was first identified as a specific disorder in 1938; however, the precise cause for the disorder remained unknown until the cystic fibrosis (CF) gene was identified in 1989 (Schubert & Murphy, 2005). According to Schubert and Murphy, ''Mutations in this gene lead to the defective production of a salt-regulating protein known as the CF transmembrane conductance regulator. As a result, chloride ions and water cannot flow properly through cell membranes, leading to the production of thick, sticky mucus'' (p. 35). The disease affects a number of bodily organs, but tends to do the majority of damage to the lungs and pancreas; as a result, the most debilitating aspects of the disease involve difficulties in breathing because of effects on the pulmonary system and, for about 90 percent of those with CF, difficulty in digestion because of effects on the pancreas (Schubert & Murphy)."

Abstract
The paper discusses the cure for diabetes mellitus and relates that controlling blood sugar minimizes the deleterious effects of the disease. The paper looks at research on diabetes and discusses the rise in childhood obesity that has been linked to a rise in diabetes.

From the Paper
"Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder marked by hyperglycemia, or high blood sugar levels. There are three main forms of this illness, each with similar signs, symptoms, and consequences. However, they have different causes and affect different populations. In all cases, though, the primary cause is that the pancreatic beta cells that produce insulin are unable to produce sufficient insulin, leading to hyperglycemia. There are various treatments for diabetes that reduce the symptoms, but there is no cure. Higher blood sugar in the body can have a number of other detrimental health consequences that affect the sufferer."

Abstract
This paper discusses the genetic model developed at Harvard to study this type of Hereditary Parkinsonism and proposes methods to design experiments, which can be performed towards finding a possible cure.

From the Paper
"Alpha-synuclein is a 15-20KD protein, which has been shown in the cytosolic aggregates of Lewy body and dopamine positive cells in a rare dominant form of familial Parkinsons disease. The gene responsible is found to localize on human chromosome 4q21-q23.
Though this form of parkinsonism is DOPA treatment responsive, the work by the authors is a step in search of a complete cure and of a preventive measure if it can be designed using the transgenic fly. The usage of genetic fly can be of paramount importance in delineating the basic pathogenetic mechanism underlying the disease."

Abstract
The writer relates that one of the reasons why he believes so strongly in the National Multiple Sclerosis Society is because this non-profit organization is wholly committed to helping people like his aunt Charlene who had her life turned upside down by Multiple Sclerosis. The writer talks about his aunt and about the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, starting first with the latter. The writer believes that after reading the next few pages, the reader will understand the need to support this organization.
