Introduction

Regular exercise is known to be a therapeutic lifestyle factor. It is not a drug, but it possesses many traits of a powerful pharmacologic agent. Routinely performing physical activity (PA) stimulates many beneficial physiologic changes in the body (O’Keefe, 2012). Age is associated with increases in body weight, body fat, and abdominal fat. Besides as age advances, many people tend to spend time in sedentary activities. Fifty-five to sixty years is the age when people retire from their services; and this sets a sedentary lifestyle for most. Sedentary lifestyle, as is widely known, is associated with obesity, diabetes, cancer, and/or cardiovascular diseases ( ...

Introduction

Diabetes impacts the body’s capacity to secrete or utilize insulin, a hormone that regulates the level of sugars in the blood. Possible complications that occur due to diabetes include heart attack, cardiovascular disease, and kidneys failure. This research paper analyzes how diabetes impacts the human body.

Circulatory system

Diabetes contributes to the disposition of fats in the blood vessels over time. The fat deposits may inhibit blood circulation and result in hardening the blood vessels, a condition known as atherosclerosis. Baoge and Tao (2015) assert that atherosclerosis is a vital pathologic cause of cardiovascular disease. Also, inhibited blood circulation may ...

Facts and Conclusion
Before we describe what three-parent in vitro fertilization is, let us first define what in vitro fertilization (I.V.F) is in the first place. In vitro fertilization is a process wherein the man’s sperm and a woman’s egg are fertilized outside the woman’s body (Storck, 2014). Once fertilization occurs and the fertilized egg divides to become an embryo, the embryo is placed in the uterus (womb) of the woman. Pregnancy in this sense happens once the embryo attaches to the lining of the uterus (Storck, 2014).
The process of in vitro fertilization is often ...

1.0 Pathogenesis and Risk factors
Type 1 diabetes (T1DM) is a form of diabetes caused by destruction of pancreatic insulin producing cells; β-cells. This results in low or no insulin production resulting in increased blood as well as urine glucose levels. T1DM can be further subdivided into Type 1 A diabetes mellitus which is caused by autoimmune destruction of the β-cells and Type 1 B diabetes mellitus which arises from non-autoimmune destruction of the β-cells. The auto immune destruction of β-cells is carried out by auto reactive CD4+, CD8+ and macrophage upon infiltration of the islets. This process is ...

Policy Positions Paper: Use of Medical Marijuana in Georgia

The use of marijuana (Cannabis sativa) can be traced back more than 5000 years ago related to medical, recreational, and spiritual reasons (Bostwick, 2012). The United States Pharmacopeia has included it since 1850’s, and until the 1930’s physicians provided prescriptions for it for a number of physical complaints (Narcanon International, 2016). In 1970, the United States Congress determined it had no valid therapeutic value and categorized it as a Schedule I illegal substance. However, a number of sources have stated that marijuana has no addictive properties (Samsha, 2016). The National Institute on Drug Abuse state this is ...

Poliomyelitis vs. Guillain-Barré syndrome: A comparative analysis of etiology, symptoms, prognosis and treatment
Both poliomyelitis and Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) cause acute flaccid paralysis (Yuki & Hartung, 2012). However, polio has been nearly eradicated, worldwide, making GBS a leading cause of acute flaccid paralysis (Yuki & Hartung, 2012). Poliomyelitis and GBS are comparable with regard to some of the symptoms exhibited by the patients (Papadakis & McPheee, 2013); however, both of these diseases differ remarkably in the causative agent, pathophysiology, prognosis and treatment regime (Papadakis & McPheee, 2013).

Epidemiology and etiology

Poliomyelitis
Poliomyelitis is caused by Poliovirus, an enterovirus. The route of disease transmission is fecal-oral, ...
