“When you've suffered a great deal in life, each additional pain is both unbearable and trifling,”(Martel 5) and for the protagonist in the Life of Pi, he has suffered from much pain, and while some of that is simply normal stuff life throws at people most of it is from his horrible journey at sea. In the Life of Pi, Pi Patel loses his family, his home, and at times even his hope and religion leaving him just a bare castaway. When Pi Patel is 16 his family packs up everything they have and put…

Some environmental effects include introducing GM genes into the population, persistence of the gene, non-target organisms, stability of the gene, loss of biodiversity, and increased use of chemicals in agriculture (20 Questions on genetically modified goods, 2009). One environmental hazard to consider includes unintended harm to other organisms. Although Bt corn helps to kill pests that harm the crop, it is not possible to design a Bt toxin that would only kill crop-damaging pests and remain…

Gastric Bypass Have you ever been teased or picked on so much about your weight that you felt like you had to do something about it, well I have and believe me it wasn 't easy being teased by your peers. Having the gastric bypass came with significant problems as well as positive benefits with my health. Being heavy or overweight has always played a major role in my life growing up as a child. Coming from a family that is a little bit over the heavy side I was teased a lot in school from…

serve as the reason why Celiac disease (CD) victims experience symptoms excluding intestinal involvement. Some of the symptoms that affect additional organs and tissue, include iron-deficiency anemia, chronic fatigue, irritable bowel, dyspepsia, infertility, pubertal delay, arthralgia, aphthous stomatitis, folate/zinc deficiency, (Niewinski M. M., Advances in Celiac Disease and Gluten-Free Diet, 2008). But, these symptoms occur in a limited group of people. Furthermore, those susceptible to…

Nutrition 313: Contemporary Nutrition Adriana Ramirez San Diego State University After a review of my 24-hour recall food group intakes. I noticed that I ingest a high amount of sodium during my average day. The most problematic food group that I have eaten within the past few days would have to be grain. I usually start my mornings off my eating a small pre packaged bowl of apple-flavored oatmeal, which contains about 11% of my daily sodium value. Aside from that, I also ate 2…

Muller and Krawinkel (2013) state, “Iron and zinc deficiencies are widespread in developing countries, especially in children and women of reproductive age: Approximately 2 billion people are deficient in zinc and 1 billion have iron-deficiency anemia” (cited in Van Huis, p. 571). As a result, consuming insects may appropriately address this issue because insects contain these micronutrients, iron and zinc. Additionally, Gordon states that consuming silkworm caterpillars…

Today during simulation, we had the chance to review Doris Bowman’s virtual simulation one-on-one with our instructor. Doris Bowman was the patient who had a hysterectomy done with a bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy under general anesthesia. I will go more into detail in the body of my journal/paper and explain the complications and postoperative care of a surgical patient. I hope you enjoy this simulation journal/paper, thank you! Doris Bowman During the virtual simulation we had the chance…

This in class presentation of Super-Size Me is the first time I have seen the film. For the past few months, I have not eaten fast food. In fact, the last fast food I have ever eaten was In-N-Out, and In-N-Out is not such a bad place to eat in. Those burgers are delicious and their fries are fresh. As of now, I was eating a big Carne asada burrito from a genuine Mexican restaurant. So I do not think that really counts because I can control the amount I eat over time. I was very tempted to go…

Wheat, especially when genetically modified, has been scientifically proven to cause many human health problems such as vitamin deficiency and gluten sensitivity, and humans should aim to replace wheat with more healthier grains in order to maintain a healthy diet. Humans, who were originally hunters and gatherers, followed a Paleolithic diet for most of their existence, which excluded wheat, but the introduction of grains was followed by a decrease in bone and muscle health as well as other…

of a horse, it does not tell whether or not the horse is getting the required nutrients in the appropriate amounts. The required nutrients can be calculated into the horse’s diet based on age, weight, and activity level. When there are mineral deficiencies in a horse, certain signs and symptoms may arise. Different activities or stresses the horse is undergoing will call for varying nutritional standards. For example, a racehorse…
