Substance Abuse, Drug Addiction ? Alcoholism, Heroin, Cocaine, Meth-Amphetamine: A Practice Contributing to HIV Infection in Women by Rachel Hayon, MPH
Intravenous Drug Use (IDU) is known to be a major risk for HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) infection. Drug use is also responsible for about 60% of hepatitis C cases [1.
IDU can also put the user's partner at higher risk to contract HIV/AIDS.
The percentage of AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) cases among women in the United States has more than tripled, from 7% in 1985 to 23% in 1998 [2. Close to two-thirds of the reported female AIDS cases have been found among African-Americans women and 37% of these cases were contracted heterosexually.
Today women are the largest growing population of infected individuals.
Intravenous drug use with needle sharing is known to be a popular mode of HIV infection for women [3. In fact in 2003, approximately one-third of AIDS cases in the United States were associated with the sharing of injection equipment among drug users [4.
In addition to drug use behaviors, there are many reasons that women are...

Detainment of Anti US Slavery Advocate Postponed for Hearing
OCE's recommended 3/11/05 detainment of anti-slavery activist, Marianne LaBrecque, has been postponed pending a 4/5/05 hearing of defendant's contesting of findings.
The judge also said that it was unfair to give the defendant such little time to make arrangements to prepare to undergo 60 days of "inpatient hospitalization."
Detainment would be as a pretrial detainee at Connecticut Valley Hospital, Connecticut's facility for the "criminally insane." Ct Superior Court's Office of Court Evaluation's conclusion is that the defendant "demonstrated what appeared to be a complex delusional system regarding 'modern-day slavery, human trafficking, abductions and organized crime'... Her preoccupation with modern-day slavery and the abduction of her fianc?e, and her propensity to focus on these issues in a tangential, circumstantial manner, impairs her capacity to represent herself, to work collaboratively with an attorney, to follow testimony, and to effectively participate...

Column Goes Halfway Over the Hill with Humor
Los Angeles, CA (ContentDesk) June 21, 2004 -- When a close friend celebrated her 50th. birthday by scheduling Botox treatments, Jena Ball was bemused.
When her mother complained about all the junk mail trying to sell her burial plots, electric wheelchairs, and hearing aids, she laughed.
Then a cashier at the local deli gave her a senior discount 15 years too early and she realized that old age stereotyping was getting out of hand."Some major debunking needed to be done," says Ball, "and I decided I was the one to do it."The result was "Halfway Over the Hill," a humorous, 600-word column that has been running in Southern California papers for six months, and is now available nationwide. From the start, the column has been a hit with readers who like Ball's amusing approach to the topic of aging."I really, really like your column," says Valerie Haecky of Santa Cruz.
"It offers a wonderful shift in perspective.""Thank you for your column," writes Jane Weissman...

New Age for Walking Canes
"New Age For Walking Canes" "Old, looks old, looks aged, using a walking cane is only for the very old!" Well, I'm sure we have heard those disparaging terms for years. But times have changed and for the better, I might add! No longer must one use the standard "metal", medicinal looking walking canes that have been around for what seems like forever. There is a whole new world of today's mobility assistive devices that look like designer creations! The beauty of a "Butterfly" offset, or the serenity cool colors of the "Canterbury" gives one the feeling they have truly added a designer fashion accessory and not just a "walking cane." Happy colors tend to make the user feel happy?and that's what life is all about?. isn't it? The new fabric covered walking canes are oh so elegant. Select fabrics in tapestry, silk, and fine cottons allow individual taste to be expressed by even the most demanding.
The colors and designs are endless! The Walking cane has been around for centuries giving...

What You Should Know about Children's Hearing Aids
It is estimated that more than 1 million children in the U.S. have some form of hearing loss. Even if hearing loss is not very severe, this impairment in children can have a profound affect on their educations. Some children with hearing impairments may be mistaken to have learning disabilities, or assumed to be defiant or downright stubborn. Even with more and more hospitals screening newborns for hearing loss, still slip through the cracks.
Parents may not even be aware of a slight loss of hearing until other problems develop.
Fortunately, for both parents and children, many models of child hearing aids are available to consumers. The first step is to have your child evaluated by an audiologist. This specialist can determine the level of hearing loss in the child and recommend solutions and aids to help them. Children as young as a week old have been reported to have received hearing aids.
The same models offered for adults are available...

The APSA Process In Nitrogen Generataors
Some of the new-generation nitrogen generators use the APSA process to generate nitrogen.

In other words, APSA nitrogen generators are nitrogen generators that use cryogenic distillation of air to generate nitrogen.
After the air is being compressed, it is purified in the nitrogen generator, so that the cryogenic operation runs smoothly. The air is being...
