Neurological Journal The article that I chose to write about is called “The Effect of Methylphenidate on Neurological Soft Signs in ADHD”. This article is based on a study of 35 patients that were treated with Methylphenidate to see if hyperactivity symptomatology was affected. The neurological soft signs (NSS) that were evaluated included poor coordination, speed or accuracy of limb or axial movements, including those required to keep balance, dysrhythmias and overflow (Hrtanek et al).

Diabetes: The Lifestyle Impact of Having a Child with Type One Diabetes Type one diabetes (TD1) is a chronic metabolic illness that requires a lot of management, especially since TD1 is most common in childhood. With this metabolic disorder occurring mainly in childhood, parents, as well as the child, have to understand the disease and how to cope with it. This can be very stressful and worrisome for the parents. In a study done by the Journal of Clinical Nursing, one hundred-thirty four…

Oxidative stress plays an important role in the development of diabetes complications. Our results demonstrate that increased production of ROS is the central and major mediator of both diabetes and diabetic gastroparesis. It is intriguing, although the production of ROS is a common mechanism, however, the activation of JNK and p38 MAPK in pylorus is unique and specific to gastroparesis. While we did not observe any ROS-mediated activation of JNK and p38 MAPK pathways in pylorus, there are…

Decreased LOC occurs when the heart can’t overcome the pressure in the brain to deliver blood and oxygen to the cerebral tissues. In a healthy individual, blood, oxygen, and nutrients such as glucose are brought to the brain through both the vertebral arteries and the internal carotid arteries, which branch off from the aorta. The brain requires about 20% of the body’s cardiac output. The internal carotid arteries branch off into the anterior and middle cerebral arteries, which form the anterior…

on diabetes is a command condition among teens. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, “About 208,000 young people under 20 years of age have diagnosed diabetes”. The article went further to say most of these teens have type 2 diabetes which was known to be common among adult now is seen in teens due to the rise in obesity. Managing teens with diabetes can be very challenging to help them with the disease process. Type 1 diabetes the body is unable to make insulin, as a…

It has been described as a ‘new epidemic’ and the amount of children being diagnosed is increasing. The long term health implication can be a horrible consequence as a child or teen.

The specific study involved 21 students—2 males and 19 females who were enrolled in a Family Nurse Practitioner graduate program (Pg. 54). The authors explain that the students were required to maintain a daily journal while utilizing the insulin pump. Each volunteer was provided a consent form…

pericytes have SGLT since the glucose uptake rate is dependent on the amount of sodium present. Endothelial cells on the other hand do not have SGLT since their glucose uptake is unaffected by sodium concentration. a. When inhibitors such as galactose and 2-deoxyglucose are used, the glucose uptake slightly decreases in both the presence and absence of sodium. b. When phlorizin is added the transport, it regulates the glucose uptake levels with a noticeable decrease of glucose uptake when…
