Cardiovascular disease(CVD) is the leading cause of death in America among both male and female populations. It causes around 610,000 deaths per year. Moreover, CVD is affecting different racial groups because it is the top leading cause of death for people of most ethnicities in the country such as African Americans, Whites, and Hispanics (CDC, 2016). As CVD is a major health issue in the community, there are many treatments and diets that aimed at preventing CVD. Mediterranean diet is the one…

it will most likely have a small birth weight, retardation, or a small head circumference (NIDA, 2013). A small head circumference can cause the disorder known as cerebral palsy (Reiter, Walsh, 2010-2016). Cerebral Palsy is a condition marked by impaired muscle coordination or “spastic paralysis” (Stern Law, 2016). This means the child has little to no control over what his/her body chooses to do. A small head circumference can also cause seizures disorders such as epilepsy (CDC, 2016). Epilepsy…

Pi The pertinence of the number pi has been indefatigable throughout the history of mathematics. Pi is a fairly simple concept to grasp, as it is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to the diameter of that circle. Pi is notorious to the masses for its aeonian nature; however, mathematicians classify this attribute as being both irrational and transcendental. Skeptics and misanthropes of Pi’s characteristics have claimed that it is a simple calculated number and there must be a…

Put it in a new batch of vinegar and after that, do the same thing you did the last day. After the last vinegar test, put the eggs in one cup of water each. Leave them in for around 24 hours. After they are done, check the circumference and record any differences in the eggs. Then, put the two eggs in one cup of water that is in each mug. Wait 24 more hours and then take the eggs out of their mugs. Take notes on the eggs and then do the same thing you did the last day. After…

Diagnosis of lymphedema requires a detailed medical history and physical exam [15]. From medical history, patients with breast cancer and lymphedema may report symptoms such as sensation of arm fullness and mild discomfort, which are seen in the early stages of the condition, whereas joint immobility, pain, and skin changes are noted frequently in the later stages of lymphedema. Furthermore, changes may include pitting of tissues, increased thickness of skin folds, and enlargement of the…

Eratosthenes was a Hellenistic mathematician who lived during 276 - 195 B.C. He was born in Cyrene, Greece, which is now known as present-day Libya. He embarked on a journey to Athens, where he continued his studies. Around 240 BC, shortly following the death of the previous librarian, Eratosthenes became a librarian at the esteemed Library of Alexandria. He was such a well-rounded scholar that his colleagues gave the nickname “Pentathlos”. The nickname had a connotation of being balanced and…

and by 3.5% (95% CI 2.6% to 4.3%) for observational studies. Early PN also improved weight at discharge or 36 weeks postmenstrual age by (a mean) 14.9 g (95% CI 5.3 to 24.5 g) in observational studies, but no benefit was shown for length or head circumference.(13) Trivedi et al in their Cochrane review included 7 randomized…

intervention smoothly is further justified from the high average attendance of the program and the positive feedback from the participants (Sacher et al., 2010). Another strength of this study is its use of various measurements (such as waist circumference, BMI, and body composition) to properly assess improvement in physique (Sacher et al., 2010). Although BMI is commonly used to identify the overweight/obesity stage, it does not distinguish between body fat and muscle (Williams, 2016) nor…

ultrasound is the length of the humerus or femur. If the length of either of these limbs is less than the fifth percentile it is highly recommended to seek out a specialist. The main concern for fetuses diagnosed with skeletal dysplsia is a small chest circumference which can cause death due to pulmonary insufficiency. Another way of diagnosing prenatally is by molecular analysis of DNA from certain cells. This is way more complex and requires and geneticist to be sought out.…

divided into three phase. During the first meeting, which is the Phase 1, we measured our own weight using the electronic weighing scale, height using the stadiometer, body fat using the monitor and using measuring tape to measure our hip and waist circumference. Besides that, we also calculated our body mass index (BMI) and basal metabolic rate (BMR). We were required to complete a personal food and activities diary for a week. In our group of four, I have decided to use an app called ‘My Diet…
