It's considered poor form to post a laundry list of your homework questions on Y!A. I suggest you Google each term or look it up in your glossary. You'll be a better person for it. Good luck in your studies, ~ Mitch ~

I provided as many of the search areas as Yahoo Answers permits (10) at the other area where you placed your question: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AiF.VHHg301RYLVdIslr1twjzKIX;_ylv=3?qid=20090806211605AALgfYl I do want to mention that if you are taking this course because it is a requirement for a field other than Health, it is still important to learn how to research for a quick answer. The whole idea of taking a course is to learn something...not just to get unearned credit. Here are some of the best and easiest sites to use: http://health.nih.gov/ Just type in the keyword - disease in the box and you will be given a selection. Try the first and second ones. Another easy site is the Mayo Clinic using the same procedure as above:: http://www.mayoclinic.com/ That said here are the best keywords and other info to use for each question: 26) I provided website information in my previous answer - this is one where you should really read - I'd avoid Wikipedia on this one as it will just confuse you. 27) The answers are in the other answer I provided Type in "Diabetes Type 4" to begin with - you'll find a shorter selection which will lead you to a discussion of all types and therefore your answer. 28) Warning signs of skin cancer or just think logically and then double check. 29) Fatal form of skin cancer "Most dangerous form of skin cancer" or just enter each term provided in the multiple choice 30) Begin at the top of your list and stop when you think you have the answer - If you're not sure, continue to the last 2. 31) Begin at the top of your list and check each term. 32) The search is "atherosclerosis" - very basic 33) Cancer - survival You could also type in "American Cancer Society" http://www.cancer.org/docroot/home/index.asp 34) Begin with Alzheimer's disease move on to Parkinson's disease Paget's Disease Graves disease 35) "Hypertension" and then each of the choices You can do this and you need to do it. Would you want a doctor or nurse who made it through med school by getting the answers at Yahoo Answers?
