If you are taking a health class online, you should have been provided reading material. I can't give you the answers as that would be cheating but I can provide sites where by reading 2 or 3 paragraphs, you can find the answers rapidly. 26) HIV http://www.epigee.org/health/hiv_symptoms.html http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/hiv-aids/DS00005/DSECTION=symptoms 27) Diabetes in young adults and children http://mayoclinic.com/health/type-1-diabetes-in-children/DS00931 The next one is a must read if you are taking a health class - longer but it provides some very interesting information http://care.diabetesjournals.org/content/23/3/381.full.pdf Here's an easy one: http://www.battlediabetes.com/double-diabetes-placing-your-kids-at-even-more-risk/ Now THINK when you read this next one: http://doctor.website2go.com/p6.html 28) Not a warning sign of skin cancer You should be able to get this one easily http://ezinearticles.com/?Skin-Cancer-Warning-Signs---Five-Signs-and-How-to-Prevent-Skin-Cancer&id=2254326 29) Most dangerous form of skin cancer You're going to have to do some reading here: http://ezinearticles.com/?Melanoma---Surviving-the-Least-Common-But-Most-Dangerous-Form-of-Skin-Cancer&id=1597441 30) This one is on you - think back to after 9/11 and remember the scares at various places. You can already eliminate 2 choices: stroke and bovine spongiform encephalopathy. How is West Nile transmitted? Not through the mail. 31) Diarrhea This is just a matter of looking up each word and doing some simple reasoning - you are looking for a general answer. Do all people with diarrhea have cancer? Isn't Crohn's a specialized disease? Look up dysentry - how do people get it? Is it specific or general. Lastly look up IBS or irritable bowel syndrome. Does that feel like the logical answer? 32) Start by looking up atherosclerosis. Ok the answer should be there but if it isn't...think. Are steroids a fat? yes/No Does everyone who has athrosclerosis use olive oil? What diets is olive oil good for? Now look up cholesterol and then phospholipids. Or to save time just go to Wikipedia and look up Atherosclerosis - your answer is in the first paragraph. 33) What is key to starting cancer treatment? http://www.canceradvice.co.uk/cancer-news/may-2007/cancer-survival-rates-114/ 34) This one is more difficult because it describes the end stages of PD with dementia and it describes completely AD. Think it through. You should also at least know what Grave's disease is and how it requires early intervention. Did you know that Marty Feldman of Young Frankenstein had Graves? That's what caused the bulging eyes although it is certainly not the most common symptom. And most certainly read about the very painful Paget's disease. 35) First you should figure out what hypertension is - the rest is easy. Just make a selection from the drop down - keep returning and reading. Or just be logical because you already know that diabetes is pancreatic. http://www.webmd.com/hypertension-high-blood-pressure/default.htm If you don't know how to conduct a search, this should help - the search parameters were dictated by the questions. I can be reached through Yahoo Answers
