The term “BMI” is defined as Body Mass Index and has been widely used in a dietary industry in order to identify body fatness, weight category and possible health problems (Cdc.gov, n.d.). It is a commonly accepted particular formula, which can be calculated as following: BMI = weight (kg)/height2 (m2) (Calculator.net, n.d.). Generally, it helps to identify the body type of an individual and suggest diet and training when needed. Therefore, in order to calculate BMI it is necessary to know at least weight and height of a person. Clearly, a normal BMI is different for those under age ...

Diabetes mellitus in itself is considered an endocrine issue. When determining the priority diagnoses for an admitted patient, however, it is important to consider taking an all-encompassing perspective with regards to the pathophysiology of each patient and address each issue accordingly. The priorities in the selected aggregate for diabetes mellitus are as follows: Firstly, there is the situation of unbalanced nutrition often evidenced by increased urinary output (or dilute urine), recent weight loss and a decrease in muscle tone, disinterest in eating, diarrhea and an increase in ketosis. Some of the pathophysiological factors that may have led up to ...

How to Manage Diabetes

Managing diabetes is a daily challenge that is worth the effort. The most important thing in managing diabetes is to ensure the blood sugar maintains the levels recommended by the physician (Yee Cheng et al. 3). Eating the right foods and substituting regular soda and juice with drinking water, eating foods such as bread pasta, rice, and whole grain cereals since they contain more fiber helps maintain the right blood sugar levels. Also, it is advisable to avoid high-calorie foods and instead, choose foods like vegetables, whole grains, cereals, and skim milk. It is also important to be active ...

The relationship between what we eat and our health is as intimate a relationship as any we ever form in our lives. Food is primary to the survival of human beings, and many factors have interacted over the course of centuries, to determine how we consume our food. David H. Freeman addresses this complex relationship in his article, ‘How junk food can end obesity’. The author adds to the discussion on healthy eating by exploring means that fast foods, and processed foods can be used in the fight against overweight and obesity issues in the American population. The title ...

The parameters of launching a product or service are extensive and there is no right or wrong strategy to launch a product. A product launched by Apple will have a different launch mechanism due to its global foot print as opposed to a product launched by a mid tier tech local company. The success and failure primarily depend on the most important aspect i.e. the product or service satisfying the needs and wants of the consumers in an effective manner. Coke is a global giant with a brand portfolio full of successful products and hence, the product that the ...

Type 1 diabetes (T1DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder wherein an immune response targets the insulin-producing beta-cells of the pancreas leading to cellular damage sufficient enough to significantly reduce, and later on eliminate, the synthesis of insulin (Van Belle et al., 2011). It typically manifests in people below 30 years of age. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) (2016) estimates that 29.1 million or 9.3% of Americans are diabetics but of this number, only 1.25 million or around 5% have type 1 diabetes. The purpose of this paper is to describe the pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, treatment and management, and ...

Upon reading the two articles, the reader can infer that both articles feature the same scientific research, which is the engineering of Escherichia coli bacteria such that it can produce biodiesel directly from sugars and hemicellulose. The original research was published as a letter in Nature while a news article featuring the research was published within the same volume. As usual, the letter was authored by Steen et al. (559-563), the team of scientists who did the research, while the news article was authored by an outsider, Jeff Tollefson (409). Although both articles feature the same scientific research, their ...

The primary among these conditions are ...

Relation to neo-Marxism

Introduction The Cuban missile crisis marked one of the most turbulent times in our history. It was sparked by the deployment of nuclear missiles by the Soviet Union, in Cuba, in 1962. The world was on the brink of nuclear disaster. This paper seeks to analyze the underlying reasons, the influence of neo-Marxism and its role in the development and exacerbation of the Cuban missile crisis.

What is neo-Marxism

Before we embark on the underlying causes of the Cuban missile crisis, it is important to understand the basic differences between tenets of old school Marxism and neo-Marxism – its evolution, historical impact and ...

The most influential factor, which has formed the Cuban culture, was Cuba’s racial diversity. All the course texts are about Cuban races and the question of gender and race equality in Cuba. Some texts, such as “Sugar’s Secret”, “Our Rightful Share” and “Marriage, Class and Color in Nineteenth Century Cuba” describe some specific spheres of Cuban culture and life. Nevertheless, they all highlight the importance of the multi-rational factor in the development of modern Cuban society. Texts “Nationalizing Cuba” and “Cuban Color in Tourism” give more information about Cuban culture even though they are all devoted to ...

The etiology of depression

Depression is a pathological condition that affects many people across the universe. To date, medics are yet to establish the exact causes of depression. It is said that multiple factors that cause depression are involved in many mental disorders. These includes biological differences, brain chemistry, hormones, and genetics. The paper describes the major causes of depression, the cells, tissues and organs affected by depression, and the organ system functions that are affected by the pathologic condition.

There are many reasons why one might decide to begin to use drugs. Some people use drugs to deal with personal loss or depression, hoping it might help to provide some type of escape. Others might feel pressured by their peer group and choose to engage in drugs because they want to belong to that group. Regardless of the reason, many people each year use drugs for the first time. Often, once is enough to create an addiction that can lead to a harmful path of drug abuse leading to addiction. Heroin is one of the most addictive drugs ...

How to Understand Key Business Processes of a Company

For an accountant and financial analysts to provide efficient accounting and financial services to an organization, they need to understand well its particular business processes. This is of great significance because all the departments in any given organization are dependent on each other implying that the personnel in the accounting and finance department solely rely on other aspects of the firm. In other words, it amounts to an ethical responsibility for any employee seeking to work for a firm to critically understand the processes involved (Hellriegel & Slocum, 2009). In this paper, I will explain how I would obtain an ...

The purpose of the proposed solution is to begin to deal with the endemic problems associated with type II diabetes within the community. Research has conclusively demonstrated that type II diabetes poses a significant threat to the long-term wellbeing of the community as a whole, and that the problems associated with diabetes will cost the average taxpayer significantly over time (Lindström et al, 2006; Gæde et al, 2008; Yoon et al., 2006). Because of the potential threat to the community at large, developing coherent strategies for dealing with obesity and type II diabetes is a community-wide problem ...

{Author Name [first-name middle-name-initials last-name]} {Institution Affiliation [name of Author’s institute]}

There are multiple factors that act as additives to the risks of heart disease which can be divided into two categories, modifiable and non-modifiable risks factors. Modifiable factors can be controlled and managed such as high blood pressure and diabetes. While non-modifiable risks are age, ethnic background and family history (Grundy et al., 1999). High blood pressure or hypertension is recognized as a major risk to CVDs. Diabetes of both types enhances CVDs threat. Diabetes with hypertension doubles the risks of CVD. Ethnic background plays a perilous ...

Although Canada is recognized for its embracing policy and as the first country in the world to adopt multiculturalism, the creation of Multiculturalism Act was not inevitable. The Multiculturalism Act became an official policy of Canada during a highly significant period in the history of Canada due to the presence of Canada’s ethnic diversity, the search for economic development, and the political leadership of Pierre Elliott Trudeau. The country has been cited for its successful integration of different cultures and ability to manage the cultural diversity using a federal law (Gagnon, Raska, Van Dyk, & Schwinghamer, 2015).

1. African American (AA) women and men have an increased risk of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) that is estimated to be 77% more compared to their non-Hispanic White counterparts (Chow et al., 2012). At 18.7%, the prevalence of T2DM is also higher among adult AA women and men (Chow et al., 2012). Moreover, AA women share a greater burden of risk for T2DM given the higher likelihood that they also have hypertension, obesity, and cardiovascular disease (CDC, 2012). For this reason, T2DM screening and health education are urgent needs of this population. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) (2014) recommends ...

Since the 1960s, the International Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness holds the Mr. Olympia contest every year to determine the man with “best physique in the world”.

Introduction

In principle, scientists define diabetes as a condition that leads to an individual’s glucose (blood sugar) level going up above normal. Significantly, it is a condition one has to live with for the rest of their natural lives. Moreover, research has proved that two types of the disease exist. Therefore, depending on one’s symptoms and age, the type of diabetes can be known. In essence, Diabetes Type 1 is known to develop mainly in teenagers and children due to the pancreas’s failure to produce insulin. However, Type 2 diabetes is mostly diagnosed in old individuals above ...

Food is a necessity of a man. Currently exists the understanding that the food provides a considerable influence on a person. It gives energy, strengths development, and health.

Diabetes is the most common endocrine disorder with about 20 million people living with the condition in USA. It is broadly divided into Diabetes mellitus (DMS) and Diabetes insipidus but the focus of this presentation is DMS which is associated with elevated blood glucose level (Diabetes Guide, 2005) (slide 2). DMS is classified into Type I, Type II/insulin resistance, Gestational DMS and secondary DMs (Slide 3). DMS is caused by insufficient insulin production (Type I), inability of cells to respond to insulin (type II), inability of the woman to produce enough insulin commensurate with growing demand (Gestational) and other ...

Petrecca, L. (2012). 'Supersized' drinks on the way out in NYC. Accessed From http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/nation/story/2012/09/13/supersized-drinks-on-the-way-out-in-nyc/57775970/1

This form of law is almost impossible to regulate on individuals considering that even if the supersized drinks are reduced to the 16-ounce cap, consumers still have the choice to consume more than one cup. A person may also opt to buy sugary drinks from the grocery and convenience stores which would not be affected by such law. To drink or not to drink is solely a personal choice. As such, a law seeking to reduce the quantity of supersized drinks as a way to improve health is myopic. Instead the government should endeavor to change the mentality of the consumers through ...

Through last two decades much has been said about the relation between the almost unstoppable growing of nationwide obesity and fast food. Fast food is cheap, almost instantly available and filling, and yet full of fat, sugar and salts. Consequently, this altogether makes for a large amount of extra calories. However, to blame the so-called obesity epidemic on fast food alone is too simple and shallow. Many Americans struggle with it while not consuming fast food on a daily basis. Indeed, they do much of their cooking at home, where they can control the ingredients - but still find themselves struggling ...

DHEA:

Dehydroepiandrosterone, or DHEA, is a hormone the human body produces via the adrenal glands, which are above the kidneys. The exact effect of DHEA is not yet fully identified; however, it is believed to be a precursor of the female and male sex hormones, namely estrogen and testosterone, among others. Precursors are substances that the body converts into hormones.

The production of DHEA usually reaches its peak around the mid-20s and declines ever after. The same applies to estrogen and testosterone, whose production also declines with age. For that reason, if an individual wants to increase their hormone levels, it ...

The history of pathology testing is dated back to the 3rd century BC, when Greek scholars such as Herophilos and Eriasistratus began systematically examining dead bodies. At the beginning of the first century AD, several Greek, Roman and Arabian physicists made significant developments in the understanding of the pathology of tumors. In the 18th century, Giovanni Morgangi correlated the symptoms of his patients with the pathological evaluations o the autopsies. The discovery of the circulation of blood by William Harvey and the emergence of microsby is regarded as the foundation of modern pathology. The 19th and 20th centuries experienced ...

Research indicates that approximately 57% of American citizens drink coffee daily, which ranging between three to four cups on average. An article titled ‘the real cost of drinking”, highlights the cost of making coffee Americans. Most individuals enjoy their coffee at home in the morning and as such, they incur several costs. The first cost is the cost of a coffeemaker. It costs approximately between $25 -$200 for a good coffee maker and about $200 for an espresso machine. Milk, cream and sugar are additional costs that go into the preparation of homemade coffee. It costs around $4 for a gallon ...

Chi-square test: This inferential statistic can be used both as a baseline measure in determining the success of the randomization procedure in the sample assignment and in analyzing the sample attrition level during the study implementation between the baseline point and the study endpoint, which, in the Jemmott, Jemmott, and Fong (1998) study, experienced a small (below 10%) attrition over the period of 3 to 12 months. The level of measurement for the independent and dependent ...

Red meat, fatty foods, high-cholesterol, high-salt, high-sugar, and too many calories – these are some of the characteristics of a Western diet (Wollston, 2015). It is a fact that this kind of diet is harmful to one’s health. According to the data from the Multiple Cause of Death Files, 1999-2013, around 610, 000 people die annually because of heart disease (as cited in Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2015). In addition, around 78.6 million adults in the U.S. are classified as obese. This means that 78.6 million are at risk of deadly ...

Inadequate insulin secretion leads to a rise in blood glucose levels, which is the main characteristics of diabetes. By the time a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes (T2D) is made, 70 to 80% of beta cell mass loss is already done. Loss of beta cells of pancreas occurs gradually, beginning much before the diagnosis of diabetes is made and continuing even after that. For this reason, the damage becomes irreversible (Cnop, 2005).

Introduction

Freezing temperatures during winter months greatly contributes to hazardous conditions on American roadways. According to the Salt Institute (2012) 70% of roadways in the United States experience congestion due to winter weather. Icy roadways greatly contribute to hazardous winter conditions and can increase the chances of personal injury or accidental death for motorists. Currently, across the nation, icy roadways are addressed with the application of sodium chloride (salt) to deice icy roadways and to prevent the formation of ice on dry roadways.

The mechanism by which salt causes ice to melt and prevents ice from forming has been ...

James Walvin in his article “A taste of empire” examines the role colonization played in the localization of activities such as tea drinking, tobacco smoking, and chocolate consumption into British culture. “Yet, each and many more of these habits is only British by adoption. The peculiarly British customs associated with these traditions were developed in a relatively short period, and involved commodities imported from every edge of colonial settlement and trade” (Walvin 11). Walvin states that tea started out as a primarily luxurious commodity only meant for the elite but with time grew to form a core part of every Briton’s ...

Definition and Causes

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is a common cause of chronic liver disease. It arises due to the deposition of fats in the main cells of the liver. The disease ranges from the fatty changes and inflammation in the liver to cirrhosis and fibrosis. Studies suggest that the simple fatty liver is not harmful but the disease can progress and lead to a chronic condition of the liver. The discovery of the existence of the disease is not easy but it may happen through raised liver enzymes. The disease is associated with obesity. Nonalcoholic liver disease is similar to liver disease but ...

The U.S. Department of Agriculture imposes regulatory on agricultural goods as a way of putting restriction on certain commodity supplies and raise the consumer price. Import barriers are used extensively by the sugar industry. It significant to note that through trade barriers, the prices are high and as a result of high prices, the consumers are hurt more because they are forced to buy fewer products at a high price. According to USDA there is a trade barrier in the sugar industry so as to protect the producers from competition so that they can increase their returns to scale (usda.gov). Though the government ...

Introduction

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is distinguished by insulin resistance and a relative disorder in insulin secretion. The production and development of the disease is not completely understood and we find genetic factors as well as environmental factors affecting the insulin release. The disease is increasingly common and basically caused due to obesity and sedentary lifestyle. The chronic metabolic disorder affects both the insulin secretion and insulin action. It is the suppressed hepatic glucose production as well as lower insulin-mediated glucose uptake by the muscles that contribute equally to postprandial hyperglycemia.

The dominance of risk factors

Nearly 400 million people worldwide are affected by diabetes and ...

Globalization is defined as the assimilation and interaction of people from various ``cultures” in the world (Garry &Robert, p.48). Advancement in technology has helped the growth of globalization.
