Although the industry often portrays this as an empowering decision of women to exercise control over their bodies and the aging process (and the majority of patients remain women), the motivation for cosmetic surgery has been linked to low self-esteem and body dysmorphic disorder in personality surveys of patients (Haas 2007). One follow-up study of plastic surgery patients found that patients had higher anxiety scores than those in a control group and higher rates of social phobia (Newell 2007)
Otherwise healthy, Magnan died due to complications from the surgery known as deep vein thrombosis (DVT). "While DVT is not common with cosmetic surgery…operations on the pelvis, buttocks and legs carry a much higher risk of causing the condition" (Tutton 2009)
htm) One article associated with the issue sites authorities who are witnessing changes in the ways in which selective service creates preparedness for the possibility of a draft, most notably a 28 Million dollar budget increase, but in the long-term it seems that most people in the know are very skeptical of there ever being a mandatory or lottery draft again. (Mehren 7/17/2004) The Selective Service System makes it as easy as possible for individuals to register and potentially very difficult for those individuals who do not
Many recent studies too have found that the early stages of selective attention, or neural modulating to perception, start in the visual processing pathways. This does not mean that attention always selects, but in the case of mixed representation where pictures are one of the stimuli presented, the effect of the pictures often dominates and impacts other incoming information (Glaser, 1992)

"The mutated gene alters neural crest cell migration or survival, which affects the progenitor cells for melanocytes and intestinal ganglia. Affected foals suffer from aganglionosis of the submucosal and myenteric ganglia of the distal part of the small intestine and of the large intestine, resulting in intestinal immotility and colic" (Lightbody 2002)
Affected foals suffer from aganglionosis of the submucosal and myenteric ganglia of the distal part of the small intestine and of the large intestine, resulting in intestinal immotility and colic" (Lightbody 2002). According to genetic research conducted through the Minnesota Paint Horse Association, it was found that of 100 horses that produced lethal white syndrome foals, all OLWS (Overo Lethal White Syndrome) foals had two lethal alleles, their parents had a normal and a lethal allele, and control group of solid-colored horses all had two non-lethal alleles (Vrotsos & Santschi 1998)
Enzymes are highly selective and substrate-specific catalysts that work by lowering activation energy for reactions thus increasing the rate of metabolic reactions. In enzymatic reactions, substrates are molecules binding onto enzymes' active sites to form enzyme-substrate complexes (Cornish-Bowden, 2004)
There are several factors that affect enzymatic reactions. According to Dunaway-Mariano (2008), enzymatic activities are affected by temperature, pressure, chemical environment such as pH, and substrate concentration as well (Dunaway-Mariano, 2008)
The amount of glucose produced from the lactose tube is 1,000mg/dL which is two times greater than the amount in the maltose tube which is 500mg/dL. Lactase is an enzyme that is specific to lactose; it wraps around the lactose substrate breaking it down into galactose and glucose (Fernandez, Canada, Jiminez-Barbero, & Martin-Lomas, 1995)
Looking at the results it can concluded that when the pH was about 7, glucose production was at optimum with an output of 500mg/dL. Besides, between pH 2 and7, enzyme lactase was catalyzing the reaction at the maximum rate and greatest amount of glucose was produced (Naim, Sterchi, & Lentze, 1987)
If enough EDTA is added, lactase will no longer have any of its ion cofactors to aid in the breakdown of lactose. The use of EDTA resulted in low enzymatic activities as opposed to the tube containing distilled water and milk (Sallee & Clapper, 2007)
In line with this, as the temperature increased towards lactase's optimum, 40 degrees, the production steadily increased and was able to work efficiently without denaturing. However, as the temperature rose above 60 degrees, the rate of reaction gradually decreased; the temperatures between 80 and 100 degrees Celsius were too hot resulting in denaturation of the protein making it non-functioning (Schneider, Corona, Rosales, Schneider, Rodriguez, & Pineda, 1990)
Lactose is a disaccharide sugar commonly found in milk and lactase is the enzyme responsible for catalyzing lactose into its subsequent monosaccharide products; glucose and galactose. In line with this, lactose intolerance is the inability to digest lactose; lactose intolerant individuals have insufficient levels of lactase and symptoms include flatulence, diarrhea, rumbling stomach, and vomiting as well (Wilson, 2005)
Another major risk that concerns medical officials regarding elective C-Sections is the potential for children to develop severe allergies. In a study researching the correlation between elected Cesarean and children's allergies that was performed in 2008, five allergies were found to be caused or at least worsened by a nontraditional birthing method (Bager 2008)
It is the nurse's role to attend to both patients at this time. Researchers have determined that the higher the number of nurses caring for a patient before, during, and after a Cesarean section, whether elected or not, has a direct correlation to how well that patient and her infant will recover (Gagnon 2007)
At present C-Sections make up over 30% of births. In many parts of the world, like China, the number of C-Section births is closer to 50% (Harmon 2010)
They are more expensive than a traditional birth because more technology is utilized. More tools and equipments must be used in order to make sure the operation is performed successfully (Misra 2006,-page 272)
