Herbal supplements, also referred to as botanicals, have been used for medicinal purposes for a very long time. This has been despite the little evidence supporting the effectiveness of most of these products (Dasgupta & Hammett-Stabler, 2011).

For the current assignment, I visited two drug stores and recorded information on ten herbal supplements. During the exercise, I noted that herbal supplements have not had adequate scientific scrutiny compared to conventional ...

Stone Formation in the Kidney/ Role of Citrate in the Kidneys

Kidney stones are calcified or solidified molecules taking place in the upper urinary tract and the kidney. Kidney stones are usually composed of calcium as oxalate, phosphate, or carbonate. Stone formation in the kidney happens when the amount of mineral salts in the urine becomes saturated, during which the mineral will automatically crystallize (Rao et al., 2011). Stone formation is further facilitated by increasing amount of calcium in urine and dehydration. High levels of calcium in urine can indicate kidney disorder, prolonged incapacitation, hyperthyroidism or overactive thyroid, excessive intake of milk or aluminum and vitamin D. Stone formation in ...

Unlike traditional nursing practice, advanced nursing practice involves numerous streams of activities like: analysis, knowledge synthesis, critical thinking, decision making, interpreting, evidence based practice and managerial/administrative roles. The evolution of advanced nursing practitioners happened when nurses were expected to take extra responsibility in addition to their traditional role. Due to lack of a sufficient number of doctors to attend to people in remote areas and in families, nurses were given the added responsibility to ...

The Dichotomy of Being Vegan or Non-vegan

Many authors have different positions when it comes to whether or not animals should be used as meat to feed human beings. Various grounds have necessitated these arguments. And some of the reasons for the arguments include the moral values as well as the religious values that the authors have and value of the animal as God's creation. Business owners have branded animals as items, without putting into consideration the pain and terror that the cows, sheep, goat and all other animals in the farm undergo. The primary motive as to why the authors responded to the use of ...

Iron supplementation on the hemoglobin levels of pregant women in Kenya

Over the years, prenatal iron supplementation has been the customary recommendation in addressing maternal anemia especially in developing countries for over thirty years (1). Currently, documented evidence indicates that iron deficiency is a risk factor for anemia during pregnancy and can lead to either preterm delivery, low birth weight or an inferior neonatal health outcome (2, 3). According to Pena-Rosas (4), raising iron levels by supplementation results in an increased level of hemoglobin. Hemoglobin level in this regard is dependent on the dosage of iron taken. However, it is still unclear the ideal level in which iron supplements can ...

Extraction Stage

Extraction of copper produces both specks of dust and gaseous wastes such as sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide that significantly contribute to environmental pollutions, especially air pollution (“Copper Mining”). Whereas copper wire miners reduce this pollution level by trapping the generated sulfur dioxide gas for purposes of producing sulfuric acid, considerable amounts of sulfur dioxide still escape and take part in both air and water pollution. However, extraction methods that incorporate emulsion of liquid membranes and applications of microorganisms in removing copper from their underground ores have been currently established as the economical and viable ways of gathering copper. ...

Abstract

Sickle cell anemia is a hereditary disorder in which the red blood cells, which function as the oxygen carriers throughout the body, develop in an abnormal manner. The red blood cells are normally disk-shaped and very flexible but in sickle cell patients the cells often become very rigid and crescent shaped. This abnormality in the shape and functionality of the red blood cells hinder the normal flow of blood in the body. The red blood cells are therefore rendered unable to move freely through the blood tissues and through organs that result in the failure of certain important organs ...

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.
