Chagas disease is one of the most ignored of the tropical diseases, yet millions of people are contaminated with it. There are currently only two existing drugs to treat it, both of which are more than forty years old…
Communicable disease transmission and public health control
When it comes to communicable diseases, influenza is at or near the top of the list. It commonly strikes in the summertime, but can infect people any time of year. It's also passed on easily and can make people very sick. Some cases of the flu even result in death, often from complications related to other illnesses but not always. This paper considers not only the causes and symptoms of the flu, but also how nurses can play a role in prevention and treatment.
Sexually transmitted diseases: overview and transmission
Sexually transmitted diseases, instead of becoming less prevalent in the face of modern medicine, are becoming more common. Chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis, diseases that have been around since before recorded history, are more common now than they were 50 years ago. With the emergence of HIV and genital herpes, both incurable infections, the number of Americans that are currently infected with an STD has been estimated to be one third of the population. This report reviews the epidemiology of STDs in American and current approaches to diagnosis and treatment.
Critical analysis of vaccines and autism

In the end, I have discussed why it is unreasonable not to get school-going children non-vaccinated.In this paper, I have discussed the dissociative link between autism and childhood vaccines.

Turning Points in American History Two Turning
History – Some Turning Points in American History from the Progressive Era Through the Great Depression
Two historical turning points are the Social Security Act and the 19th Amendment to the U. S. Constitution that granted federal and nationwide suffrage to women. Western states offered suffrage first, probably for a combination of numerous reasons. During the Progressive Era, the Pure Food and Drug Act and the Federal Reserve Act were passed. The Spanish American War turned the United States from a neutral country into an aggressive empire builder that often inserted itself into conflicts. Finally, the booms and busts of the Roaring Twenties, followed by the Great Depression, illustrated the need for greater control by the federal government over private and public economic interests, along with federal stimulation of the economy to provide employment and income for America's citizens.
