Calcitonin

this disease (Ralston 2013). Drug therapy is in order to help prevent the bone from continuous remodeling (Wisse 2013). Bisphosphonates would help reduce bone remodeling, and this drug can be given taken through the mouth or injected (Wisse 2013). Calcitonin would be another treatment in that this would be a hormone that helped with the bone metabolism; this drug can be taken as a nasal spray or injection (Wisse 2013). Only in severe cases will surgery be in order, but a person is able to take…

Amputations have been performed since Prehistoric times and are known as one of the oldest surgical procedures. Although in the Neolithic ages amputations were more brutal, some of the same principles are used in today’s amputations. The earliest writings of amputations date back to the 1700 BCE in the Babylonian code of Hammurabi. It describes the first therapeutic amputation for vascular gangrene. Before anesthesia patients had to be held down during the procedure and were usually highly…

Reiterate the risk factors and the benefits of taking supplements. Preventive measure education to avoid future falls avoiding any future falls (Bethal, 2015). Educate the patients about the medications that they will be taking. Such as calcitonin, inform that it can be administered in injections for a better rate of absorption. Estrogen supplements, can have complications such as increased risk for dvt and should be given along with progesterone if you still have a uterus. All biphosphates…

Bone pathology involves understanding the causes and effects of bone diseases. Bones undergo a continual process of breakdown and renewal to maintain maximum bone strength. Healthy bones provide support and durability. Skeletal diseases of bone are often contributed to the severities of low bone density, mass, or deterred bone tissue. Osteoporosis is one of many bone diseases. Osteoporosis occurs when the formation of new bone doesn’t keep up with the elimination of old bone. It’s a…

Negative feedback is an important physiological regulation and control. Body water volume is a regulated variable. Disproportion of water volume in the body (too high or too low), require the action of hormone. In case of abnormal loss of body fluids, ADH will help to maintain body fluids by reducing the elimination of urine. ADH impact is example of negative feedback effect, where physiological regulation is maintained. Maintained body Water volume > excessive loos +>…

Unit 4 – Fiona Bennett Brain Science In this unit I will be investigating the structure of the brain. The human brain is responsible for everything that happens in our bodies. On average the brain weighs 1.5 kilograms. It is one the most complex organs in the human body. The brain controls everything from coordinating movements to constructing sentences and even simple things like breathing. The brain is supplied with oxygen to keep it alive by a network of blood vessels. Structure of the brain…

Osteoporosis Osteoporosis is a bone disease that affects the bone mass making bone become weak and brittle. This disease does affects a large majority of the population. According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation “a total of 54 million U.S adults age 50 and older are affected by osteoporosis.” There are many risk factors that are tied into this disease which will later be discussed. With knowledge of this topic maybe research will help prevent some of the risk that go with osteoporosis…

function. The endocrine system produces insulin which allows glucose into nerve cells. The pancreas, an organ of the endocrine system, produces insulin according to blood sugar levels. The thyroid gland, another part of the endocrine system, produces calcitonin which the nervous system uses as a key neurotransmitter. The nervous system relates to the endocrine system because the nervous system also contributes to the release of hormones. The hypothalamus, which contains nerve cells, controls the…

Biology 1A The Biology of Disease Thyroid Cancer Cancer is a disease that plagues many people word-wide and can prove to be extremely deadly with a high mortality rate, or not as much so with a high survival rate. This is because some cancers prove to be more difficult to manage and remove while others do not require to be removed and may just cause minor complications. Thyroid cancer happens to have characteristics from both these types of cancers; it can be subtle and cured easily if caught…

Sepsis continues to be a significant cause of death and morbidity in the intensive care unit (ICU), with documented mortality rates as high as 50% (Nargis, Ibrahim, & Ahamed, 2014). Moreover, it is also estimated to be the principal cause of death and illness worldwide (Singer et al., 2016). The socioeconomic costs related to sepsis in the United States were determined to be more than $20 billion in 2011 (Balk et al., 2017). Also, there has been a steady increase in the incidences of sepsis…
