Ancestry and Health $100.37 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Racial and ethnic groups can exhibit substantial average differences in disease incidence, disease severity, disease progression, and response to treatment. In the United States, African Americans have higher rates of mortality than does any other racial or ethnic group for 8 of the top 10 causes of death. U.S. Latinos have higher rates of death from diabetes, liver disease, and infectious diseases than do nonLatinos. Native Americans suffer from higher rates of diabetes, tuberculosis, pneumonia, influenza, and alcoholism than does the rest of the U.S. population. For the monogenic diseases, the frequency of causative alleles usually correlates best with ancestry, whether familial, ethnic, or geographical. To the extent that ancestry corresponds with racial or ethnic groups or subgroups, the incidence of monogenic diseases can differ between groups categorized by race or ethnicity, and healthcare professionals typically take these patterns into account in making diagnoses.

Ukiah Oregon $70.1 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Ukiah Oregon is the hero of an eponymous series of science fiction/adventure novels written by Wen Spencer. The four novels form a nearcontinuous series of adventures located, with flashbacks, between June and September 2004. Ukiah Oregon is described in the first novel, Alien Taste, as a Pittsburghbased private investigator of probable Native American ancestry, apparently aged about 21 years old. He has a photographic memory, but he has no specific memory of the time before he was trapped about eight years earlier as a feral child near the town of Ukiah, Oregon, from which he takes his name, having been raised by a pack of wolves. He has a remarkable ability to track people and sense the details of a subjects DNA, which he attributes to his lupine upbringing. His lack of human contact in his childhood has deprived him of much of the knowledge of how to behave socially, as well as pop culture references. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Timpledon, Miriam T./ Marseken, Susan F. Binding Type: Paperback Number of Pages: 100 Publication Date: 2010/07/29 Language: English Dimensions: 6.00 x 9.00 x 0.24 inches |
