Picot is a framework within which medical/nursing research is conducted for reliable results through a standard methodology. To identify the impact of educating patients on self-management of diabetes for both short-term and long-term effects, a picot study was conducted. Research question 1. Does Spanish language diabetes self-management education impact patient outcome? 2. Will participation in a Spanish language diabetes self-management education improve patient knowledge and health behavior…

Principle: By using a scanning device to detect positron (subatomic particles) emitted by the radionuclide in the organ or tissue being examined. A PET scan uses a radioactive drug (tracer) to show this activity. The radioactive drug may be injected, swallowed or inhaled, based on which organ or tissue is being evaluated by the PET scan. Positrons are emitted by a breakdown of the radionuclide then gamma ray is created and the scanner then detects the gamma rays a computer analyses the gamma…

The ketogenic diet was designed to simulate the metabolism of this fasting. When a fasting person has burned up all his glucose stores, he then begins to burn stored body fat for energy. After the initial fasting period, a person on the ketogenic diet derives his energy principally by burning the exogenous dietary fat rather than from the more common energy source, carbohydrate (glucose), or from their own body fat. But unlike fasting, by providing exogenous fat the keto- genic diet allows…

A dream, a destination, an intention, and the end are all words used to describe a goal. There are two types of goals attainable and unrealistic. This statement brings up an argument thought. Some people believe that with a hard work ethic, patience, and determination any goal is obtainable. Others believe that certain goals are impossible, and people should settle for something realistic. The argument for which the reader will indulge into is the possibility of achieving anything with them and…

Glomerulonephritis Mitchelle Hamilton Millers College of Nursing BSN 6 November 5th, 2015 Abstract Glomerulonephritis (GN) is a type of kidney disease that involves the glomeruli. These are very small, important structures in the kidneys that supply blood flow to the small units in the kidneys that filter urine called the nephrons. During glomerulonephritis, the glomeruli become inflamed and impair the kidney's ability to filter urine. This can be a routine condition in childhood.…

poor and a mobility scooter/electric chair is used for most trips, there are estimated to be 300,000 in use in the UK, as the population ages these will become ever more common. (Mail Online, 2012) Medical history notes worsening control of the blood glucose levels, if exudative changes in the right eye were to occur this would significantly impact…

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease which is characterized by hyperglycemia, glycosuria and hyperlipidemia that in the long-term increase the probability of developing diabetic complication such as macrovascular and microvascular then complication increase mortality and morbidity. In microvascular includes diabetic nephropathy, diabetic retinopathy and diabetic neuropathy. Diabetic neuropathy is one of the most common chronic complication of diabetes mellitus that develops in about…

enough sugar (glucose) for energy, so our body breaks down stored fat, causing ketones to build up. • Vitamin and Mineral Deficiencies - Lower levels of essential vitamins and mineral than what our body needs to function properly. • Rapid weight loss - Trying to lose more than 1-2 pounds per week could cause the body to burn muscle for energy instead of fat. 2. What are the dangers of following a low carbohydrate diet? • Can lead to Ketosis - Ketosis occurs when we don't have enough sugar…

In the article, “Decline in Skeletal Muscle Mitochondrial Function with Aging in Humans” by John Waterlow, the study of whether aging results in increased DNA oxidation damage and reduced mtDNA abundance and mitochondrial function was tested. The study was done to determine whether or not reduced muscle mitochondrial function could contribute to age-related muscle dysfunction. This study relates to human evolution because the results will help scientist determine if there is something humans can…

Research has proven that over half of all men who have e 2 diabetes also have low testosterone levels. This has been one of the most profound discoveries because it explains the connection between hormones and sugar levels. This hormone affects the body's sensitivity to insulin. So if a man doesn't have enough of it, he can become insulin resistant. This leads to a build-up of glucose in the body, which causes type two diabetes to develop. And although e 2 diabetes isn't as severe as type one…
