Medical Information

'If you're kicked from behind, you're in front.'

There's always a page of links that you can visit while I'm finishing this off!.

Nutrition and Metabolism

This is a list of resources that is related to things about the gut, digestion and metabolic things in general:
• Thyroid Gland
• Iain Chambers' Carbimazole Information
• A Brief Introduction to Diabetes

Cardiorespiratory Fitness

Here is some information that might contain things that would interest someone who's keen on things with the heart and lungs:
• Sickle Cell Anaemia
• Hypertension and Cardiovascular Reactions to Stress
• Hypertension and the Eye

Odd Neuro Stuff

Right, even after a whole semester on the nervous system, I still don't know all that much about nerves! Anyway. I hope the following site will be helpful:
• Neuroanatomy Study Slides
• Neuro handouts from my course

The Life Cycle

Here are the handouts that I've managed to put up so far. They're in Rich Text Format (RTF) so you can load them up into a word processor that can read them (like Word for Windows 6.0) but remember they have the file extension .RTF.

If you really really want the files in Word for Windows 6.0 format., try clicking here!

You can, however, see these from the web browser by clicking here!

• MICROBIOLOGY : Gram Positive and Negative Bacteria: Are you confused? Can you tell your Gram positives from your negatives? Well, now you can think more clearly and kiss those bacteria blues good-bye. Click here.
• CASE 1 : Drugs used to stimulate the ovaries (stimov.rtf): In the case, Nusrat had polycystic ovarian syndrome and the doctors tried to stimulate her ovaries.
• CASE 2 : Puberty and Self-concept (ghstress.rtf): This sheet is concerned with the timing of puberty and the effect this can have on the self-concept of a child. Plus there's some thoughts on the effect of vitamin D on puberty. Finally, there's a review of 'hyperphagic short stature'. NOTE: The Manchester Valentines Self Help Group (as mentioned on the handout) does not exist (to my knowledge!)
• CASE 3 : If the immune system was an army, Immunology would be Star Wars (war.rtf)
• CASE 3 : Zidovudine and other anti-AIDS drugs (azt.rtf)
• CASE 4 : Chronic Fatigue Syndrome - Psychosocial (socwk4.rtf)
• CASE 5 : Postnatal depression and the Apgar Scale (apgar.rtf)
• CASE 6 : Vote Angie O'Plasty 1 (angiopl.rtf): This is actually more for fun than information!
• CASE 6 : Wound Healing (seencas3.rtf): An old file relating to the Seen Case Exam of Semester 1 1996/1997.
• CASE 7 : Stigma (stigma.rtf): A threat to society, or just a silly six-lettered word?
• CASE 8 : Osteoposis, the Elderly and Fractures (osteop.rtf)
• CASE 9 : Metastasis and Carcinogens
