biomedical and social models. Secondly, it will discuss how and why the social model has become more applicable over the last fifteen decades. Consequently, its effectiveness in expounding high incidences of acute rheumatic fever (ARF) and rheumatic heart disease (RHD) in New Zealand (NZ) will be scrutinised. The biomedical model narrows the definition of health into the absence of irregularity of the body whereas social models, for example the Biopsychosocial model, have broader determinants…

to certain parts of the world and how the diseases that they are used for spread. Knowing the locations of where patients have been and addressing their symptoms according to the human geography, specifically related to the diseases in that region could help a pharmacist piece together what is wrong with a patient and help them. This research paper will review certain regional diseases and cultures and their impact on pharmacy. As new diseases are always emerging into areas because of…

engineering there is a large percentage of a population of children who are born without any predisposition towards a genetic disease, but on the other hand, there is the other percentage of the population affected by this disease that no research is being conducted on. The majority of the population was not affected, therefore there was little to no awareness about the disease and people did not want to financial support the research for only minimal…

world of engineering, the fairly new technology CRISPR lives up to its potential. CRISPR is a technology used to scan the patient 's genetic code and search for genetic diseases, it then “erases” the bad gene and replaces it with a neutral one. With this process we can eliminate many deadly genetic diseases such as Alzheimer 's, Diseases that causes the carrier to become blind, and some forms of cancer. Francisco Mojica discovered the gene editing tool in 1993. Although Mojica was the first to…

improve the gene pool. Modern eugenics is based in studying, and perhaps someday altering, the genetic code to improve quality of life for all, specifically to have children born free of disease. “The emphasis is on the control of the genetic properties of future offspring.”(Epstein) What if all those hereditary diseases that run in your family could be a significantly lower concern for your children? Henry Kermes, affectionately referred to as “Hank” by his wife and friends, “Pop Pop” by his…

In fact, their essays actually show and teach people different perspectives on their diseases. They show that just because someone is battling cancer or MS, doesn 't mean that they’re enable to do what people without disease can do. A person can have cancer or MS and still be able to do the same things a person without this diseases are able to do just with a different approach. Mairs says,” I may find it easier than other cripples to amuse myself because I…

PGD: Prevent Giving Diseases For ages, it has been a natural instinct for animals to want to procreate to pass on their genes to future generations. Likewise, humans also share this instinct, but recent technology has taken this a step further, sparking a great deal of controversy. Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) is a reproductive technology which can be used in conjunction with in vitro fertilization (IVF) for the diagnosis of a genetic disease in embryos prior to implantation and…

Blount’s disease. Blount's disease is pathologic genu varum which is progressive and centered at the tibia. It is divided into two distinct disease entities: 1. Infantile Blount's : This is the more common pathologic genu varum in children aged 0-3 years. 2. Adolescent Blount's: This is the less common pathologic genu varum in…

Death is a natural occurrence in life that arises in all living things. Natural death occurs during the later stages of life, but in tragic circumstances, children can also die. When children die, they leave behind heartbroken parents and siblings. The parents of the child can suffer from immense guilt after the death of a child. Parents ask themselves questions such as “What did I do wrong?” or “What could I have done better?”. Parents re-examine all of their decisions and second-guess…

genetics. not only will it be useful for scientists but also for new medication and the understanding of diseases .By gaining this new information, any concerns for dangerous errors will soon be history allowing this type of modification to maybe become a normality. if every child with parents who carry dangerous genetic diseases was modified this could mean that in many years to come some diseases could be eliminated from the human race. unfortunately due to the fear that a large majority of us…
