The Glucocorticoid receptors are discovered intracellularly in all tissues. They enter cells through inactive dispersion and structure a complex with a receptor protein (Rhodes & Hartnoll, 2002, P.10). This intricate then experiences an irreversible enactment and enters the cell core, where it ties to the DNA, hence prompting organic impacts instigated by these hormones, which include expanded hepatic gluconeogenesis, as well as expanded lipolysis (Ahmed, 2007, P.13).
Dexamethasone is utilized to treat numerous provocative and immune system conditions, for example, rheumatoid joint pain and bronchospasm. Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, an abatement in quantities of ...

Liver is the largest ‘gland’ of the digestive system. It is located right under the dome of the diaphragm, coated by the capsule. It is distinguished the liver’s convex upper surface adjacent to the diaphragm, and a lower, downwardly facing and in contact with the back and abdominal organs. On the part of the upper surface of the liver it can be seen its right and left lobes, the boundary of which is the crescent liver ligament. To the lower surface of the right lobe there is a gallbladder, close to the deep groove of the liver there ...

The patient presented in this case suffers from metabolic syndrome. The metabolic syndrome is a cluster of health problems that is associated with the presence of obesity and tissues resistance to insulin. The metabolic syndrome is a condition that causes a myriad of problems in the body such that the body becomes incapable of maintaining the circulation of the useful energy molecules such as glucose and lipids in the right quantities in the bloodstream (Huang, 2009). Other associated disorders of metabolic syndrome include high blood pressure and dyslipidemia. The lipid problem is characterized by elevated levels of triglycerides and ...

- Ingestion of fava beans increases the formation of free radicals in red blood cells which in turn causes disruption on the normal functioning or reduction of Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase enzyme. Consequently, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase reduces and therefore the red blood cells are incapable of defending themselves from the detrimental effects of reactive oxygen species. This makes the damaged cells to breakdown and rupture prematurely hence hemolysis.

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase pathway

The G6PD gene is located from base pair 153,759,605 to base pair 153,775,795 on the X chromosome.

Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease

Pathophysdiology

The following paper is interested in the effects of hyperglycemia on geriatric diabetics patients with chronic kidney disease, In doing so, it reflects three distinct disease entities. They are hyperglycemia, which serves as the dominant variable; geriatric diabetes and chronic kidney failure. Consequently, the pathophysiology of these three entities will be addressed separately.

Hyperglycemia

When hyperglycemia occurs, it represents a medical emergency. However, the extent to which blood sugar is elevated can be directly related to underlying disease conditions. These may include kidney failure, infections and systemic disease. While disease processes may be obvious, this ...

1. Foundationalism is a mode of justification which is primarily based on a system of beliefs. These beliefs are critically analyzed and they either gain merit or lose justification based on the emergent findings of their critical and exhaustive analysis and interpretation. Foundationalism further asserts that there are some self-justifying statements that do not need any further justification. There exists some statements which are self-evident. These statements are in themselves considered irrefutable truths and do not need any form of justification. Coherentism argues that a statement gains justification only upon discovery of other statements that lend support to the argument statement. Every ...

Q. 1 Assess Mrs Daps’ medication chart. Discuss three (3) significant risks involved with Mrs Dap’ home and/or inpatient use of medicines.

Based on Mrs Dap’s medication chart, it shows that the patient is being administered with regular, variable dose and PRN medications. The patient requires several medications that are specific to her condition. However, the number of medications scheduled for Mrs Dap could potentially cause a medication interaction, even though each targets specific condition. For example, the patient is being administered with 10mg of Felodipine daily, which is a CCB type of medication. However, calcium channel blockers tend to ...

Abstract

The emergence of virtual teams has changed the marketing ball game as well as strategically placed organizations in such positions that they are able to improve their innovation stance by employing professionals to their projects that are geographically disperse. Virtual team has in the last decade gained popularity with more intense research works being carried out to enable faster execution and communication during the whole project phases involved. As a matter of fact, virtual teams have been found to be useful in gradually decreasing costs associated with physical infrastructure as well as the risks associated with working under the same ...
