Georges Gilles de la Tourette born October 30th, 1857 was a French neurologist who worked in a hospital in France called l'H?pital de la Salp?tri?re. Georges de la Tourette labeled Marquise de Dampierre and nine other of his patients with ?maladie des tics?. The name was later changed to ?Gilles de la Tourette illness?, in the memory of Georges by his mentor, the father of neurologists known as Jean-Martin Charcot.

The country’s poor economic growth combined with their twelve-year civil war and lack of cultural progress are significant country-specific barriers in the implementation of UHC. For example, we can look back to 1984, when the La Carte d’Assurance Maladie was implemented. This scheme allowed women to obtain healthcare without consulting their male counterparts by “eliminating cash payments at the point of use”. (UHC Forward, n.d.)

The Media The media is a very influential part of society that is everywhere. This powerful form of control is contributing to rape culture and violence against women through the images and messages it presents. "Evidence has accumulated that adolescents’ exposure to sexual media content is related to a variety of gender stereotypes and sexual beliefs." (Peter & Valkenburg, 2007, p. 381) The media teaches girls from a very young age that their bodies and what they look like are the most important
s in a stereotype? It’s a question humanity continues to ask, a question history continues to answer, and through a strategic placement between the archetype and the individual, a question Geoffrey Chaucer’s work The Canterbury Tales addresses. The Canterbury Tales is told through the narration of a character named after its own writer, Geoffrey Chaucer, whose presence as the universal observer sets a precedent for the provided literary commentary. In his narration, characters are confined to a set
Healthcare system analysis The Coq Gaulois versus the Bald Eagle When talking about healthcare systems there are a few factors that we should consider essential in defining the experience; Personal payment, choice of doctor and freedom of practice American and French healthcare systems share to some degree a few fundamental principles like giving patients the freedom to choose their physician, and although the expenditures are different, both systems have a plan where employers and employees
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), originally associated with combat, has always been around in some shape or form but it was not until 1980 that it was named Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and became an accredited diagnosis (Rothschild). The fact is PTSD is one of many names for an old problem; that war has always had a severe psychological impact on people in immediate and lasting ways. PTSD has a history that is as long and significant as the world’s war history - thousands of years. Although
Gilles de la Tourette described a strange neurological disorder he referred to as ‘maladie des tics’. The observations which the article was based followed nine patients who continually showed various symptoms as previously described.

Hundreds of thousands of United States veterans are not able to leave the horrors of war on the battlefield (“Forever at War: Veterans Everyday Battles with PTSD” 1). Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is the reason why these courageous military service members cannot live a normal life when they are discharged. One out of every five military service members on combat tours—about 300,000 so far—return home with symptoms of PTSD or major depression. According to the Rand Study, almost half of these
The Body as Teacher: From Source of Knowledge to Object of Knowledge ABSTRACT: I look at two ways of seeing the body during the Renaissance: the first, illustrated in the Essais of Montaigne, focuses on the body as a source of knowledge about the self; the second, illustrated in the developing science of anatomy, focuses on the body as an object of knowledge that is increasingly available only to specialists.

African American Slang African American Slang has had many other names: Ebonics, Jive, Black English, and more.

Understanding Human Nature: Examples from Philosophy and the Arts ABSTRACT: Ours is not the first time philosophers have looked to art for examples to illustrate their arguments. One example would be Kierkegaard, who turned to Mozart's operas in an attempt to expose what he called the aesthetic realm of existence. I hold that if Kierkegaard lived today, he would consider the main character of Nikita Mikhalkov's Dark Eyes (1987) as a prototype of the aesthetic way of existence. In order to support
Anthropologie du Bo (Théorie et Pratique du gris-gris) ABSTRACT: Subjective knowledge should not be separated from anthropology. But, unfortunately, this is the prevailing practice. The anthropology of Bo expresses the presence of Africa in anthropology. The authenticity of the African is found in his fervent practice of Bo.
