8、nse to new scientific and medical discoveries. Historically, doctors defined a disease according to a cluster of symptoms, and Live as their clinical descriptions became more sophisticated, they started to classify diseases into separate groups, so that from this medical taxonomy came new insights i
9、nto disease etiology. Before the 20th century, schizophrenia and syphilitic insanity were treated as the same disease, but by early 1900 it became evident that psychoses without associated dementia represented a separate disease for which the term schizophrenia was then coined. The definition of sch
10、izophrenia continues to evolve from the psychiatric disease of the 1960s to an illness with a suspected genetic etiology, though the existence of such an etiology remains uncertain. While an optimistic hunt is still on for the genes involved, we must continue to define schizophrenia in terms of the
11、presence or absence of “positive“ and “negative“ symptoms. Labeling someone as diseased, however, has enormous individual, social, financial, and physical implications, for irrespective of disease symptoms, the label itself may lead to significant distress. Individuals with asymptomatic conditions,
12、including genetic variations, may be perceived by themselves or others as having a disease. It is not that labeling someone as diseased is always positiveit does have severe ramifications, affecting decisions to have children or resulting in unjust treatment by life, medical, and disability insurers
13、but it can be beneficial, legitimizing symptoms, clarifying issues of personal responsibility, and improving accessibility to health care. Nevertheless, deviations from normal that are not associated with risk should not be considered synonymous with disease. Two schools nominalist and essentialist
14、or reductionisthave debated the clinical criteria used to label a patient as diseased. Nominalists label symptoms with a disease name, such as schizophrenia, and do not offer an explanation of the underlying etiology, while essentialists contend that for every disease there is an underlying patholog
15、ical etiology, and now argue that the essential lesion defining the disease state is a genetic abnormality. It has been suggested that diseases defined according to the essentialist tradition may be precisely wrong, whereas those defined in the nominalist traditional may be roughly accurate. But in
16、labeling a disease state, we must consider both the phenotype (symptoms) or the genotype (genetic abnormality), for the former describes a state that places individuals at some definable risk of adverse consequences, while the latter helps suggest specific genetic or pharmacologic therapies. Thus, b
17、oth clinical criteria and genetic abnormalities should be used to define a disease state, and the choice of a disease definition will vary according to what one wishes to achieve, the genetic counseling of family members or the effective treatment of the patient. （分数：0.98）(1).The author of the passa

32、e, hence seasonally influenced, terrestrial dinosaurs. The ratio of oxygen isotopes depends on temperature, and an absence of seasonal variations in oxygen 18a heavy version of the common oxygen 16 atomwould strongly suggest that the animals maintained a constant internal temperatures. Such a findin
33、g would not, however, constitute “proof“ that dinosaurs were warm blooded, as there are external mechanisms that cold-blooded animals employ to regulate body temperatures and thereby influence metabolic rates. More nettlesome is that proof would have to come from discovery of intact dinosaur remains
34、 in which the soft tissue had not been replaced or altered, and from which the biomolecules responsible for thermoregulation could be extracted identified and characterized. Such a proof is unlikely, as it would require an almost impossible level of preservation over 65 million years, plus the adven

39、iscovery of an absence of seasonal variations in oxygen 18 molecules? . It would not prove that certain dinosaurs were capable of regulating their temperatures internally. . One likely source of such a discovery would come from annual growth bands of dinosaur teeth. . The fact that no biotechnology
40、yet exists to elucidate thermoregulation biochemistry proves such a discovery is impossible. .
