Dementia is a package of signs and symptoms which include personality change, impaired intellectual functions, and memory loss which come as a result of trauma to the brain or disease (Godbolt et al. S247). Unfortunately, these changes severely affect independence, relationships, and daily living. However, they do not count as part and parcel of normal aging. There are numerous forms of dementia which include vascular and mixed dementia but Alzheimer’s disease happens to be the most common type (Mitchell 443). A person affected by dementia portrays a noticeable decline in remembering, learning, communication and problem-solving. Often, these changes ...

Federalism in the United States has evolved over the past 200 years from an arrangement where state and national government powers and responsibilities were clearly distinct and separate, to one in which the line of distinction between the two has blurred. When the framers drafted the Constitution, they provided separate powers to the federal government in Article One. A few of these clauses extended the power of the national government in order to prevent the hazards faced by the Articles of Confederation. In order to ensure that limitations still existed on the federal government, the Tenth Amendment was included. ...

Introduction

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD) involves peripheral circulation, the brain, and the heart. The disease is a primary health issue in many countries around the world (Sawhney, et al., 2012). CVD develops through complex processes involving novel risk markers and common risk factors. Decades of research have demonstrated that a sibling’s or parent’s family history is linked to the development of atherosclerotic CVD (Gupta et al., 2013; Nelson, 2013; Imes and Lewis, 2014), which manifests as peripheral arterial disorder, stroke, and coronary heart disorder (CHD). Various Mendelian disorders have also been shown to contribute to atherosclerotic CVD. Although ...

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 ...

The author contends that social skills are a necessary element in the learning environment due to the capabilities that they provide to learners in interacting and communicating in order to help determine their difficulties and to help them function more successfully. Difficulties with these faculties is often discovered to be a primary factor in the inability for an individual to ...

Smoking has been evidently linked with the progression and exacerbation of coronary and hence cardiac conditions. Plaguing of the coronary arterial lumen due to smoking leads to the narrowing of the arterial lumen, hence leading to blockage of the coronary artery and subsequently, reduced cardiac output and the progression of a cardiac condition (Lloyd-Jones et al., 2010). In this regard, smoking cessation is pretty essential in arresting the exacerbation or progression of coronary disease after a post coronary intervention. In any health promotion intervention, evaluation of outcomes becomes an integral component as it places the implementer at a vantage ...

Introduction

Cancer is one of the major diseases, which kills people. It is the most feared disease. People are terrified at the thought of it. The suffering for months or years, a cancer patient undergoes, before he dies, is a horrible experience even for those around him or her. The chemicals or toxins which cause cancer are called carcinogens. These include pesticides or herbicides, quasi-edible chemicals such as meat preservatives, color and flavor enhancers and artificial sweeteners, toxins in moldy foods and contaminants which are byproducts of industrial processes. People are afraid of carcinogens, entering their bodies. But, mere entering ...

In 1872, the 22-year-old George Huntington presented a paper describing an elaborately outlined inheritance pattern of a disease, which during the time was referred to as "chorea." In his paper, which was presented at the Meigs and Mason Academy of Medicine at Ohio, George described all the features of the adult-onset form of the disorder and outlined the disease’s autosomal-dominant pattern of inheritance. Although the mechanism underlying the inheritance pattern of the disease was not understood until the rediscovery of Mendel’s works, his paper was so comprehensive that George Huntington quickly became widely acclaimed. In fact, he ...

Introduction

In recent decades, trends in diets tailored to promote weight loss have resulted in a significant increase in the intake of protein, particular in people with overweight and obesity issues. Accordingly, researchers have questioned the benefits or risks linked to the habitual consumption of “dietary protein in excess of recommended intakes” (Martin et al., 2005). In general, the primary concern has involved the possibility that diets rich in protein may increase hyperfiltration and, hence, exacerbate renal damage. Nevertheless, the potential link between protein-rich diets and renal damage has also been questioned due to an absence of adequate clinical evidence. ...

Vid30 complex participation in the degradation of CDC25 in yeast and their role in Ras/ cAMP/ PKA pathway

Background: Unicellular organisms such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae in its total life cycle is exposed to diverse and changing nutrient conditions. Thus, in order to survive and achieve a competitive advantage, it has adapted itself such that it not only uses the wide range of available nutrient sources but also the sources that are nutrient rich. It mainly uses fructose and glucose by rapidly fermenting to alcohol. In response to these nutrient conditions, the intracellular trafficking transcription and turnover of protein from nutrient transporters (e.g. Hxts) get regulated. Therefore, when the availability of the glucose increases, the expression of low- ...

Studying history assists humanity in understanding how the society has transformed in time. It also helps students relate various modern trends in the society and compares them to the progression from the early times (Bartolome 4). History is also an element of filtering the learned from the unlearned. Historians believe that by use of historical knowledge of facts and figures one can be able to determine the level of ...

Critical understanding of selected key concepts and theories related to core areas of academic practice.

There are many different approaches to designing educational courses, and the use of online technologies offers more flexibility in this area than ever before. There needs to be a strong link between educational intentions and the course content, of course, but the material also needs to be presented in such a way that it is accessible to the individual and suits the learning style of the student and the teaching style of the educator (Morgan & Houton, 2011). One such theory that places the learner at the central point of his or her own education is the constructivist approach. This ...

Introduction

Pernicious anemia refers to a health condition that is associated with a deficiency in vitamin B12 due to its poor absorption in the intestines whereby this results to a reduction in the RBCs (red blood cells). Typically, the condition occurs as a result of inadequate production of IF (Intrinsic Factor) in the stomach whereby this leads to poor absorption of vitamin B12 (Bizzaro & Antico, 2014). Among the main symptoms associated with the disease include; fatigue, diarrhea, breathing difficulties, pale skin as well as tingling and numbness in the feet and hands.

The way of speaking or writing is important for communication. The message in any literary piece is not just contained in the text only but also the presentation of the text. In the same respect, the message in a verbalized text is not just contained in the words only but also in how the words are verbalized. The analysis of conversations entails the evaluation of the language used by the notion that the use of language by the people involved in the conversation is meant to inform the other person of the intentions that one had in speaking (Heritage ...

PART A - (Total 15 marks)

Cephalexin and Gentamicin The mechanism of action of amoxicillin is focused on the prevention of the synthesis of the bacteria’s cell wall through the binding and inhibiting of the cell wall transpeptidases (Katzung, Masters, and Trevor, 2012). Specifically, it attaches to the penicillin-binding protein 1A found in the cell wall of bacteria. Then, the agent disintegrates the lactam ring to allow the acylation of the penicillin-sensitive transpeptidase C-terminal domain. The formation of the cross-link of the linear peptidoglycan strands is prevented by the inactivation of transpeptidases. Since the third and last stage ...

Economic development, as scholars have cited, is synonymous with the concept of modernization (Diarsi 1996). Modernization and development refer to the progression of society from conservative opinions towards an inclusive and liberal approach where people enjoy equality irrespective of their gender or race. Modern society also assimilates the concept of a 'just' society where women have equal access to resources as their male counterparts and disparities regarding job opportunities, wages, and social status are either non-existent or negligible. Theoretically, modernization should be one of the automatic outcomes of economic development; however, practical examples may not testify this theoretical hypothesis. ...
