Disease Theses Samples For Students

Introduction

Trichomonas gallinae causes avian trichomoniasis infection, which is often a lethal disease. The parasite is considered to primarily affect columbiform birds like pigeons and doves, but can affect other wild and domestic birds as well (Stabler, 1954). Diagnosis of the infection can be reliably done by collecting and studying material from the bird’s mouth and crop.

I carefully collected oropharyngeal swabs from the oral cavities of hunter-killed Woodpigeons in eight areas of Norfolk and one area of Suffolk counties in the three months’ time period between April and June. Using sterile cotton swabs, I collected crop swabs from the ...

Abstract

Trichomonas gallinae, a flagellated protozoan, adversely affects the avian livestock, particularly the columbids. It causes an infection called necrotic ingluvitis and the disease can range from asymptomatic to lethal. The parasite affects the anterior gastrointestinal tract of the bird, forms granulomatous lesions, and blocks the oesophagus, making the bird starve, thus leading to death. The virulence of the strain varies with some strains causing up to 75% mortality. In UK, the infection was first recognized as an emerging infectious disease of British finches in summer of 2005. The sick dead birds exhibited signs of malaise such as lethargy and fluffed-up ...

Literature Review

Obesity is associated with a higher risk of cancer death, specifically deaths caused by cervical cancer. According to Wee, Phillips, & McCarthy (2005), there are about 4000 deaths every year that are caused by cervical cancer leads despite the availability of outstanding screening tests that are available in the market to detect the disease. The article of Wee, et al., (2005) is important for the study since it will explain the fact that despite early stage detection screenings that were conducted, there is no guarantee that the preventive treatment will improve the survival of patients with cervical cancer (Wee, et al., ...

Introduction

Type 1 diabetes is a chronic illness characterized by the body’s inability to produce insulin due to the destruction of the beta cells in the pancreas through autoimmune process, infection by viruses or idiopathic means. According to America Diabetes Association (2010) onset most often occurs in childhood at 10 -14 years of age, but the disease can also develop in adults in their late 30s and early 40s. Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is the stable product of nonenzymatic irreversible glycation of the beta chain of hemoglobin by plasma glucose. Its rate of formation increases proportionately with plasma glucose levels. Since ...

Introduction

The best way to describe critical reflection is through a passage delivered by Aldous Huxley in which he said, “Experience is not what happens to a man; it is what a man does with what happened to him” (University of Texas, 2012). In the healthcare profession, a health professional is confronted by situations that that requires critical understanding. Some encounters are challenging and perplexing. And because there is a level of urgency in the practice of medicine and healthcare, majority of the time healthcare practitioners does not have the luxury of time to contemplate on their actions. This is unless the incident ...

Abstract

Diabetes management using the diet model has been considered the best procedure for people diagnosed with ether type 1 or 2 diabetes. It important to mind your diet in order to avoid food related health risks (Nutrition at Center of Diabetes Management, 2013).

Overweight is described as excessive amount of body weight that may come from muscles, fat, water, and bone, obesity, on the other hand, is having excessive amount of adipose tissue. Obesity and overweight and result from energy imbalances. The body requires a certain quantity of calories from food to maintain necessary life functions. Weight is maintained when calories consumed equals the number of calories the body burns up. If additional calories are eaten than used up, energy stability is tipped toward overweight weight gain, and obesity.

Magnesium is an essential nutrient

Magnesium is a mineral which is of great abundance in the human body. Along with enzymes, it is important for protein synthesis, muscle regulation and a host of other important cellular factors such as oxidative phosporylation, energy production which involves production and utilization of ATP and glycolysis. Additionally, Magnesium is required to assist in different cellular processes such as DNA replication and transcription and RNA translation(Barbagallo, 2012).
Magnesium is found usually in the bones and or in the soft tissues of humans. Next to Potassium, it is the most abundant ion in the body. The plasma actually contains ...

Abstract
This project set out to examine the efficacy of a communication system known as the Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS), which is mainly used by individuals with autism. It is estimated that 30 to 40% of children with autism may not develop functional speech (Gerenser, 2009). With that being noted, this project broke down the PECS system in order to understand how each stage worked and why this method seemed to be the most ...

Few issues today raise as much heated emotion as the subject of eugenics and bioengineering. Hardly a day goes by when we do not see Congressional hearings on the ethics of stem cell research or debate in the media over some proposal to expand to boundaries of our artificial reproductive technologies. Hollywood and popular culture constantly bombard us with scenarios related to genetic engineering. Aldous Huxley’s controversial book Brave New World introduced the possibility of selective breeding of human beings as far back as 1932 (Huxley, 1932). More recently in 1970, the book Future Shock by Alvin Toffler portrayed ...

Background

The hospital has the potential to be a dangerous place for health care practitioners. Among healthcare workers, nurses, interns, technicians, residents, and housekeeping staff face the greatest risks of exposure to various injuries (Shriyan, Roche, Annamma, 2012). Back injuries, allergies, radiation exposure, violence, and stress are but some of the potential injuries that healthcare workers face.
Chief amongst the potential injuries that nurses face are needlestick injuries. Needle stick injuries commonly occur during subcutaneous injections, during the drawing of blood samples, during intravenous cannulation, and as a result of repeatedly replacing a cap onto an already used needle (Goniewicz, 2012). Needlestick ...

Overconsumption of Sucrose and Fructose may contribute to certain types of Cancer
1. Introduction

The bottom line is that most of the problematic cum chronic illnesses in the world today are to a large extent lifestyle diseases. In fact, research has advanced to the extent that the link between strains of diabetes and those of cancer ...

In the 2010 film Shutter Island, Leonardo DiCaprio plays Det. Teddy Daniels, a US Marshal investigating a disappearance at an isolated psychiatric facility. However, the truth of the investigation turns out to be far more complicated than he could have imagined; Daniels is, in fact, a man named Andrew Laeddis, who murdered his wife after she killed their children in an act of mania. The grief from this caused him to separate himself from that identity and become Teddy Daniels, a completely different person.

Teddy, as a character, is intelligent and high-functioning; he behaves well socially and emotionally among his peers and with his ...

Abstract

Nursing practice has been revolutionized over the last century with a growing demand for appropriate education and training. This desire has escalated towards nurses becoming specialists in intensive care, obstetrics, pediatrics, psychiatry, geriatrics, anesthetics and even clinical managers.
