Article Analysis: “Data Collection Mode and Social Desirability Bias in Self-Reported Religious Attendance”

In this article, Stanley Presser (University of Maryland) and Linda Stinson (Bureau of Labor Statistics) research inaccurate data in regards to whether or not self-administered studies and time usage reports are beneficial to studies. In this report, the researchers investigate religious service attendance numbers and how truthful people are when it comes to self-administered studies.
One would imagine that people would tell the truth and fear no judgement during a typical “interview” style of collecting data. However, when the participants in these studies on religious ceremony attendances were asked questions during a typical interview-administered style, their attendance numbers were not ...

Introduction and Review of literature:

Modern life styles have made people unaware about their health; eating fast food and long sitting are now the part of our daily life, which results in obesity. Isolated systolic hypertension is a silent killer, which mainly cause due to obesity. This disease happened when due to disorder your systolic blood pressure crosses 140 mark on the scale. In addition to obesity, consider certain other physiological conditions such as stiffness in the arteries, heart disorders are also as the culprits of the disease.

Individuals in a Free-Living Environment
The objective of the study was to provide information on the effects on blood pressure of following a DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet program in a free-living environment without any adjustments in a person’s behavior and lifestyle (Malloy-McFall, Barkley, Gordon, Burziminski and Glickman, 2010, p. 15). To test their hypothesis, the researchers used a controlled study design, whereby one sample group followed the DASH diet as the control continued with their normal diet. The study sample comprised 20 participants (n=20), who were classified into two groups, DASH and the control sample. The DASH group was ...

J.K has acute kidney failure with Rhabdomyolysis. Acute kidney failure happens when the kidneys are suddenly not able to sift waste products from the blood. This results to accumulation of waste and affects the chemical balance of the blood. Rhabdomylosis is caused by skeletal muscles injury (Grau, Poch, &Bosch, 2009). The injury of the skeletal muscles results to the production of different intracellular muscle ingredients. In this case, J.K had an acute renal failure with Rhabdomyolysis because of cocaine and heroin use. Cocaine and heroin cause damage to myocyte. Damage to the myocyte leads to an entry of sodium ...

Overview

Ulcers of the lower leg are common incapacitating wounds amongst the elderly in the United States. For women over 65 years, there is relatively 1.43 percent. These ulcers can be broadly split into two main types with the ones originating from poor arterial perfusion occurring less times and the ones taking place due to venous problems making relatively 70 percent of the presented cases. The etiology of the ulcer is identified through measurement of the ankle/brachial pressure index (ABPI). The ulcers that have an ABPI of more than 0.8, are perceived to be appropriate to be treated with compression ...

Introduction

The body is made up of various organ systems which perform various functions. One of this is the urinary system which is responsible for excretion of various metabolic wastes. An important organ in the urinary system is the kidney. In the kidney, blood undergoes ultra filtration; nutrients such as glucose are reabsorbed back while waste products such as urea and excess water form urine which is excreted. The kidney maintains electrolyte and water balance in the body. During sustained physical activity, the body looses a lot of water through sweating. This disrupts the electrolyte balance in the body and leads ...

Introduction

Modern day health care systems focus on offering holistic care that is patient-centric, safe, effective, efficient and timely. To this end, medical practitioners must have a diverse set of skills and knowledge from pharmacology to human anatomy and physiology. Of this, a sound understanding of anatomy and physiology are critical in provision of care for long term care. Physiology is the study of function in living systems while anatomy is the study of structure in living things. These two disciplines have been central in the delivery of health services since Ancient Greece where philosophers such as Aristotle explained the relationship between ...

1. There are four essential components of a physical exam: inspection, palpation, percussion, and auscultation. These parts of the physical exam should take place regardless of what organ system are being evaluated. Inspection involves looking at the patient and diagnosing any non-normal physical findings. A good example of this is bruising seen on the abdomen during an abdominal exam. The next part of the examination is palpation. Here the physician will feel for any abnormal findings, such as masses or abscesses. Following palpation is percussion. During this step, the physician uses their hands to produce a sound and can ...

Stone Formation in the Kidney/ Role of Citrate in the Kidneys

Kidney stones are calcified or solidified molecules taking place in the upper urinary tract and the kidney. Kidney stones are usually composed of calcium as oxalate, phosphate, or carbonate. Stone formation in the kidney happens when the amount of mineral salts in the urine becomes saturated, during which the mineral will automatically crystallize (Rao et al., 2011). Stone formation is further facilitated by increasing amount of calcium in urine and dehydration. High levels of calcium in urine can indicate kidney disorder, prolonged incapacitation, hyperthyroidism or overactive thyroid, excessive intake of milk or aluminum and vitamin D. Stone formation in ...

Introduction

Pulmonary edema (PE) is characterized by the accumulation of fluid in the parenchyma and air spaces of the lungs. Most often PE is associated with respiratory failure and impaired gas exchange. Globally, PE is known to be characterized by two major factors, the first is associated with the injury of the lung parenchyma which is termed as non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema. The second is associated with the failure of the left ventricle of the heart to release blood from the pulmonary circulation within the system and is termed as cardiogenic pulmonary edema (Glaus, Schellenberg , and Lang. 2010). The major cause ...

Abstract
Asthma is a chronic problem that influences lung function. Clinically asthma is identified by the variation in expiratory airflow and abnormal respiratory symptoms such as wheezing, chest congestion, cough, and shortness of breath. The aetiology of asthma is linked to a mixture of genetic and environmental factors, though; heredity or atopy also plays a role in asthma. Asthma is categorized into two types: extrinsic (allergic) and intrinsic (nonallergic). Allergic asthma is an outcome of the reaction of an antibody ...

In coal-miner’s pneumoconiosis, respirable coal dust that are inhaled for long periods of time trigger hyperactive immune responses that lead to destruction of the lung. At the beginning, coal dust particles are expelled out of the lung through the function of pulmonary macrophages beneath the epithelial layer of airways and near capillaries (Kopf, Schneider & Nobs, 2015). These macrophages phagocytize the dust particles and transport them to the lymphatic tree or ...

Glaucoma is the disturbance in the structure or function of the optic nerve that causes it to atrophy. This usually leads to gradual loss of the visual field over a period of time. The disturbance is usually as a result of increased intraocular pressure although some patients exhibit atrophic changes without having a raised intraocular pressure (Bell). Risk factors for developing glaucoma include a family history of glaucoma, old age and elevated intraocular pressure from any cause (Bell). Previous ocular surgery and ocular or head trauma are also predisposing factors.
