Hypertension in children is becoming a growing healthcare concern in America. It is quite common to see reports of hypertension in children. Most cases of hypertension in children remains undiagnosed and therefore the present prevalence is an underestimation of the real scenario. Unlike adults, the normal blood pressure values in children can vary based on their age and height, and thus borderline cases of hypertension, escape diagnosis. Sedentary lifestyle and obesity are important risk factors for hypertension in children. Through proper lifestyle practices and diet, hypertension can be prevented in children. Preventing hypertension in children is important as hypertension ...

According to H. Gene Blocker, the most significant historical sources of our modern conception regarding human rights are ancient medieval terms and notions that provide an explanation about natural law and human rights. However, this philosophy and ideas associated with this philosophy has emerged from the ideas of philosophers of pre-modern era such as from ideas of Plato, Aristotle, and Cicero to the ideas of modern and medieval era philosophers including Hobbes, Jefferson, Bentham, Locke, Aquinas, and Roosevelt. Further, another most important historical source in this regard is the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights 1947, which played ...

Abstract

The discussion on the shift of power from the marketers and brands to the consumers can be proven with the varied usage dimensions of consumer power tools like ad-block apps. Particularly, this enables the consumers to remove the ads from their web pages. As such, the internet users enjoy fast online page loading and lower data costs. Many factors have contributed to increase use of ad-block apps. It is also clear that the availability of the ad-block apps on iPhones has led to wide use of blocker programs.

Question 1 – Packaging a thumb drive for shipment to the lab

Preservation and insulation of a flash drive is a key requirement of its transfer to the forensic laboratory for a subsequent examination. The primary method at the ‘evidence acquisition’ stage is to ensure that the files on the driver were not modified, changed or hidden in any manner. The first step is to make a label to the drive. The label should include information about serial number of the storage device, model type, capacity, and color, country of production and name and surname of a person, who packed the drive. The next step is to place a special ‘blocker’ ...

Apparatus Light source (incandescent bulb); Rail; Red filter; Blue filter; Screen (image); Reference grid (object); Stands; Light blockers. Introduction Chromatic aberration results from the condition of state in which a lens fails to focus all colors passing through it at the same focal point. The failure occurs when the lens has got more than one refractive indices meaning that there also exists more than one focal point. Reason being that the focal point of a lens depends on its refractive index. There exist two types of chromatic aberrations one being axial and the lateral. The axial type of aberration ...

Lab report:

Introduction For this experiment, the focal length is taken to be the image distance that is in correspondent to an infinite object distance; in which case, the incoming light rays are taken to be parallel. By performing this experiment, it presents a platform for determining the focal length by using the focal length equation: 1f= 1p+1q Whereby, f is the focal length, q is the object distance and p is the image distance. To get these two variables (object distance and image distance) involves focusing the image of an object under illumination on a screen and the measuring ...

Disease management constitutes an important area in the clinical research where drugs possess a significant position. The effect of drugs on various organ systems has been the area of much research interest which gradually made feasible the development of several classes of drugs. Drugs may have dual role of promoting and inhibiting the vital biochemical and molecular pathways that play influential role in the disease outcome.

Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors are considered as anticongestive heart failure and antihypertensive agents. They have gained wide spread physician and patient satisfaction. The ACE inhibitors prevent the ...

The Unintended Consequences by Wheelen

Wheelen calls unintended consequences to perverse incentives. The law of unintended consequences describes a particular policy that is formulated for solving the problem that may just make the problem worse. The law of unintended consequences is also a warning that government, society, and business always lead to the unanticipated as well as undesirable results or outcomes. By unintended consequences Wheelen also means that the acts and actions of government and people comprises of the effects that are unexpected or unintended. Human beings are considered as the complex living beings because they like to do those acts that make them well off, ...

13. Discuss the Pharmacological Effects of Morphine Morphine is an opiate, or a derivative of opium. As such, it is a very effective pain reliever, but can also be life threatening if overused. It is effective as a pain reliever because it binds to opiate receptors, which creates pain relief, sedation and euphoria. Unfortunately, it also depresses respiration, and can lead to both constipation and addiction over time. New research demonstrates, additionally, that it may be effective as a beta-blocker in patients with chronic pain (Frolich et al. 2011). Possible side effects include nausea, vomiting, cramping, itching, or anaphylaxis, pupil ...

Heart failure is mostly described as a chronicle disease where the heart is unable to pump the blood sufficiently to the body, with other terms like congestive cardiac failure often been used interchangeably. Some of the symptoms are leg swelling, excessive tiredness and breath shortness. Breath shortage is mostly the worse since lying down and sleeping at night is difficult. Most of the common causes that lead to heart failure are blood pressure, atrial fibrillation and valvular heart disease. These causes lead to failure in functioning of the heart structure mainly due to left ventricular and fain normal ejection fraction. ...

In addition, the internet infrastructure in New Zealand is also very admirable compared to other parts of the country. Despite the success recorded for those who have engaged in internet advertising, many ...

- Abstract Cardiovascular diseases such as heart failure are some of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity with Australia being one of the country’s most greatly affected (McLean, Esclick & Coats, 2006). An area of interest in the pathology of heart failure is the significance that polymorphisms of adrenergic receptor genes have on the outcomes of patients with heart failure. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms or SNPs that occur in the genes that encode for adrenergic receptors are known to have various physiological and functional consequences. Specifically, the β1-adrenergic receptors have a crucial role in the regulation of heart rate and ...

Salmeterol is part of a broader group of drugs known as adrenergic agonists; it works specifically by binding to β2 receptors of the adrenergic receptor family, which are activated by the binding of the endogenous neurotransmitters, norepinephrine and epinephrine. The adrenergic receptors are as well part of a broader group of receptors known as G-protein coupled receptors. The G-protein receptor family is composed of a single peptide with seven trans-membrane regions that are attached to a G protein, Gs, Gq, or GI (Harvey & Champe, 2008). The G protein has 3 subunits; the α, β, and γ subunits; the α subunit in the resting state is bound to ...
