COMPARISON PAPER
Brown Mackie College
Linda Toftee

COMPARISON PAPER Science, fact or fiction, you be the judge. The two articles that I chose to write about are; Few mild-to-moderate parkinson’s disease patients suffer from malnutrition, yet almost one third are at risk (IOS Press BV, September.11, 2014). Also Slim quick diet pill. In the first article about Parkinson’s disease (PD) it basically is stating that patients are at risk for malnutrition and poor nutrition (IOS Press BV, september. 11, 2014). The reasoning behind this is because they have trouble with food preparation and food ingestion. “Published studies have also suggested that PD is associated with low weight, however, few studies included control groups (IOS Press BV, September. 11, 2014 #1)”. The results of this study indicate the same nutritional status among mild-to-moderate PD patients compared with healthy controls (IOS Press BV, September. 11, 2014). To determine their results they used Persion Version of the mini nutritional assessment (MAA) questionnaire (IOS Press BV, September. 11, 2014). They asked all the patients 18 questions, lasting 10-15 minutes (IOS Press BV, September. 11,2014). …show more content…
I believe that if you want to lose weight you need to eat a well balanced clean healthy diet. Eat lots of green leafy vegetables, fish, and chicken. You also need to drink a lot of water. Water is key along with eating a clean diet. You should also add exercise to your daily routine. Losing weight is not easy or quick, it takes strong will power and dedication, the answer will not come in a pill form. All the side effects that come with slim quick is to me more dangerous to your body (Hussey, May. 28, 2009). Your clean healthy diet will not have any harmful side effects, but weight

    This suggests that there are many other factors that need to be considered in this type of study to deem it valid. Having two years to monitor the participants benefited the study in providing more accurate results for the study conducted, but only further showed that the PD used in the study began to increase and then plateau after the first six months. A more controlled and accurate study is needed to conclude on the benefits of the PD versus the NNR diet or any other…

    et al., 2015). This patient restricted his foods to boiled rice, fried potato chips, chicken nuggets, potato crisps and the occasional chocolate, which is similar to Landau’s short and limited list of food intake (Chandran, J. et al., 2015).

    Lou Gehrig's Disease

    Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, more formally known as ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a neurodegenerative disease, causing the selective degeneration of both upper and lower motor neurons, as well as those in the motor cortex portion of the brain, which ultimately leads to the limited to complete loss of all voluntary muscle function. Now while the main pathology of ALS is the selective death of the previously mentioned motor neurons, more recent studies have suggested that the homeostatic imbalance of the whole body or just key cellular metabolism may help to increase the rate of progression of the disease. Sadly none-the-less this occurrence is one that proves to be ultimately fatal, generally resulting in death within three to five years…

    Parkinson Late Adulthood

    One of the most common growing disease in late adulthood is Parkinson which is a progressive disease of the nervous system with symptoms including tremor of the hands, arms, legs, jaw and face which is caused by failure of the normal cellular compensatory mechanisms in vulnerable brain regions, bradykinesia or slowness of movement, rigidity or stiffness of the limbs and trunk, postural instability or impaired balance and coordination. One of the main reason for these symptoms is the loss of dopamine which helped the Thalamus to regulate the movement by reporting the sensory information about the movement of the body to the brain. According to McNamara (2017), the loss of dopamine in the brain circuit which disrupts the performance of thalamus.…

    Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool: A Case Study

    3) In order to support individuals with maintaining a healthy body mass index (BMI) and reduce weight loss, the home adopts the use of Bapen’s ‘Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool’ (MUST). Malnutrition affects every system in the body and always results in increased vulnerability to illness, increased complications and in very extreme cases even death (BAPEN, 2016, p3).
