The food practices of humans are determined by values, attitudes, beliefs, and environmental and religious circumstances; all of which are the products of tradition, culture, and contacts. Knowledge and culture affect the intake of a particular food. The success in understanding the culture of other countries or ethnic groups lies in understanding their rituals in food consumption customs. In developing countries, culture plays a crucial role in determining food patterns. Each ethnic group has…

electrocardiograph (ECG), and chest X-ray. Her blood routine such as serum creatinine, liver function tests (LFTs), complete blood count (CBC), C-reactive protein (CRP), calcitonin and interleukin 6 (IL-6) tests, erythrocyte sedimentation ratio (ESR) and coagulation test were all normal. Urine and stool…

exposure to the passive smoke, such as asthma, which the probability of getting it doubles five times when living around someone who smokes constantly. Also, heart diseases are considered to be part of this type; where second-hand smoke causes blood coagulation, which damages heart functions. Besides that, researchers at Cincinnati children’s hospital in Ohio confirmed that children’s exposure to cigarette smoke may affect their mental health and abilities. Also, statistics have proven that…

Preliminary orders that would be anticipated in this case study would be laboratory tests such as cardiac biomarker, lipid profile, cholesterol levels, triglycerides, coagulation studies, blood chemistry, and hematologic studies. Furthermore, an electrocardiogram (EKG), chest X-Ray, echocardiogram would be anticipated interventions for the patient. In addition, a stress test may be performed to evaluate the response of the…

NFS386 Annotated Bibliography Alleoni A C. 2006. Albumen protein and functional properties of gelation and foaming. Scientia Agricola. 63(3)291-299. A review paper • Hen egg white protein coagulation orchestrates the success of many cooked foods, such as bread, cakes, cookies and other bakery products, as they act to link ingredients together. • The proteins depend on polymerization to make gel networks that allow for the incorporation, encapsulation and retaining of air that is important to…

Introduction Wound care involves a lot of physiological and immunologic processes to achieve optimal wound healing, as well as several physical and social factors that may also help to successfully achieve wound closure. In this case study, Carlton, a six-year-old, got a deep cut on his foot after he stepped on the sharp edge of a shell while running along the shoreline. The foot of the six-year-old boy looked even worse a day after her mother had washed it. The gash had turned red and very…

Question 1. a) “What serosal cavities have been penetrated by the 1st arrow?” The pleural cavity and pericardial cavity have been penetrated by the 1st arrow as they tend to appear in the thoracic cavity on the left side of the chest. b) “Explain the location, the microscopic characteristics of the serous membrane, and the purpose of the serous membrane.” The serous membrane, the peritoneum is located within cavities of the abdomen and the pelvis. Pleura are found in the thoracic cavity…

Outline of Case and Objectives  43 year old male  Previous laparotomy about 10 years ago due to gunshot abdomen  Presenting now with a single stab wound to the right epigastric region, pericardial effusion confirmed by ultrasound. Explorative laparotomy done- patient has right ventricular injury and right sided diaphragmatic injury  The patient was intubated and ventilated  The patient had the following devices in place: o Right Intercostal Chest Drain (ICD) for a haemothorax which drained…

are used would not have significance variation on the results obtained from the differential analysis of white blood cells and full blood cell counts (Macey et al. 2002). Furthermore, citrate is also applicable as an anticoagulant especially in coagulation tests. This is because, different from EDTA, the activation of platelets in vitro tends to be less spontaneous when using sodium citrate. On…

salts in the urine form into a solid crystal. They can potentially block the flow of urine in the body and cause infection, kidney damage, or could lead to kidney failure. A sudden change or increase in salt and mineral levels consumed could cause coagulation, which further increase the size of the stones. Most kidney stones form on the interior surface of the kidney, where urine leaves the kidney tissue and enters the bladder. Kidney stones come in a variety or mineral types, including calcium…
