Acid Tolerance in Streptococcus mutans
[ send me this paper ]
A 14 page discussion of the physiological mechanism employed by this species of oral bacteria which allow it to exist in the rapidly fluctuating pH levels of the human mouth. The author details how the cellular membrane of the organism is critical in this process, selectively allowing protons to pass out of the cell and preventing them from passing into the cell. This ability allows S. mutans a selective advantage. Acidogenicity (the ability to generate acid) and acidurance (the ability to function in an acidic environment) are the primary physiological traits of this organism which make it such an important factor in the production of dental caries as well. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Agammaglobulinaemia and Selective Immunoglobulin Isotype Deficiencies
[ send me this paper ]
A 9 page
paper discussing X-linked agammaglobulinaemia (XLA), an immunodeficiency in which
mature B lymphocyte cells fail to develop and Ig heavy chain rearrangement fails to
progress as it should. The paper also discusses X-linked Hyper IgM Syndrome. Both
conditions can result in decreased levels of IgA, IgG and IgE. XLA has been associated
with greater incidence of colorectal cancer in young adults, but researchers are unclear
whether the increase is related to a life history of greater incidence of infection. Many XLA
patients died before reaching their 20s and 30s in years past, but better treatments are
improving their chances. Includes 2 figures, bibliography lists 11 sources.

AIDS and South Africa: A Global Perspective
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page outline of the problems facing South Africa in terms of effectively addressing the AIDS epidemic. This paper assesses the AIDS epidemic in the region from the perspective of the cultural behaviors and mindsets which continue to feed it. The contention is presented that the most effective address of the problem must overcome the cultural refusal to acknowledge it. Home testing coupled with government-enforced mandatory attendance at educational workshops is proposed as being a solution which will ensure self-awareness, avoid social ostracization, and hopefully spawn positive behavior change. A free one-page solution outline is included. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
