Abstract

Regretfully, diagnosis of diabetes is very common nowadays. Diabetes has become a worldwide epidemic and one of the leading causes of premature morbidity and mortality because it often leads to amputation of limbs, loss of sight, kidney failure and provokes cardiovascular disease. However, it is not that hard to suspect a high risk of developing diabetes or the disease itself before the analysis of blood sugar levels. Many of the signs of diabetes are visible to the naked eye. Paying attention to them in timely manner can avoid the severe consequences of the disease. Patients with diabetes can lead ...

Patients with hypertension, coronary heart disease, and congestive heart failure have a high risk of developing impaired tissue perfusion and deep vein thrombosis. In this case, Mr. X, 71 years of age has a history of lower leg cellulitis and venous stasis ulcers in both extremities. Based on clinical and nursing diagnosis, Mr. X was known to have impaired tissue perfusion and the risk of developing deep vein thrombosis. Nursing diagnosis also revealed an altered body image due to psychosocial reasons and current health status (Mitchell C. 2016). Abnormal flow or maldistribution of blood circulation associated with selective vasoconstriction, ...

Abstract

In this experiment, benzene was treated with hydrogen in the presence of Pt/SiO2 as an example that can be applied on industrial operations to show that the most recently modernized methods of neutron total scattering that cover a wide Q-range allow the use of appropriate catalytic chemistry that can be measured on time domain to probe directly on site the hydrogenation of benzene within the catalyst pore. Based on this method, it is possible to study the rates of reaction on length scales that can provide measurements equivalent to the size of an atom or a nanometre. Furthermore, the ...

Mechanical ventilation (MV) causes oxidative stress that is responsible for adverse consequences on organs. In a situation of MV, the excessive pressure impairs the function of the mitochondrial respiratory chain leading to oxidative and nitrosative stress (Kavazis, 2009; Hafner et al., 2014). MV is commonly associated with hyperoxia where an excess of oxygen is provided. In such a case an oxidative stress can be induced when the oxygen pressure in the alveolar exceeds that of the normal breathing conditions because the biological system is not able to readily detoxify the environment from components such as reactive oxygen species (ROS) ( ...

I. Introduction Advances in recombinant DNA technology and bioinformatics-based data analysis have driven the explosion of structural biology in the last two decades (Kelly, Jess, and Price 119). This has resulted to the identification of at least 2000 proteins annually and a growing need in performing structural studies in these new proteins. The current trend involves the concern of analyzing protein structures close to its natural conditions (and other conditions) and of measuring their rates of structural changes, an essential factor in their biological functions. The technique of circular dichroism (CD) has gained an increasing popularity in addressing these ...

Introduction

It is customary for the non-native speakers to substitute the correct pronunciation of the words with their versions of vowels and consonants. There are patterns of pronunciation of words in every language and it is believed that the non-native speakers utilize their habitual pronunciation of the new language. These patterns in language may persist at different levels. Some of the non-native speakers tend to learn new language faster, the others retain the traces of native language in their patterns of pronunciation through the years. This may root in different factors, such as the duration of practice in new language, ...

Iron

Iron is a mineral that is abundant in plant foods, meat, seafood, and poultry. Green leafy vegetables have high levels of iron and are most suitable in cases of deficiency. Low levels of iron among young adult women can cause iron-deficient erythropoiesis (red blood cell production) and anemia (Harland et al., 2010, p. 325). These deficiencies can result in impaired immune and cognitive functions and can affect energy levels of an individual. Women of reproductive age usually experience menstruation on a regular basis. Heavy menstrual bleeding during this time increases the loss of iron, therefore, causing the deficiency.

Cabbage white butterfly is also known as Pieris rapae. These species are flower visitors. They use tubular proboscis to acquire liquids. It consists of “two medially concave, elongated maxillary galeae joined dorsally and ventrally by cuticular projections, termed “legulae,” forming a food canal” (Lehnert et al. 167). Each legula has upper and lower branches. The organ is twisted into a spiral in a quiescent state. Butterfly’s head has a special pump that creates a pressure to move liquid through the food canal to the gut. P. rapae’s average forewing length is about 49.6 mm, while its proboscis’ ...
