My first term paper is due in 6 weeks. I have to have a topic for the paper by next Monday, I am supposed to pick a disease, write a paper and give a presentation on that disease; including signs, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, complications and prognosis. I am wondering, what is your favorite disease, or in other words the one you find most interesting, or found very interesting during your studies? not only the disease its self but the progression of diagnosis and treatment. Please keep responses vague- not many details, just name and general information that you feel the need to share- as in if the disease is found primarily in children and is likely to cause death in most of them, that would be something I will want to stay away from for now.

I want to research whatever choice I make on my own

Thank you
Amy

Diabetes
Sickle cell
Crohns
Polycystic kidneys
cystic fibrosis
emphysema
Hodgkins
scleroderma

You'd be able to research all of those thoroughly

Maybe pick a body system and go from there. The list is endless!

Anthing abnormal from the endocrine system is super interesting. How about talking about MRSA, how it can be aquired in the medical setting and what MAs can do to prevent it and educate patients (signs, symptoms, dos and don't--such as always finish your ABX and do not take other peoples, hand washing ect)

Thank you both very much, I have 2 due in week 6, one in terminology, and one in anatomy/phys. As so happens I came about one of my topics in a very interesting way. Dysphagia. My husband had an issue with it and I found it so interesting during my research that I went with it.
My second one I decided on HHT. My husband also has that one and it is a very in depth interesting topic, it affects a lot of different body systems so I think everyone can take something from that to whatever office they go into.
