Day 1 John Smith ,62 years old male body weight 160 kg and height 1745cm long term smoker. Today he is consulting his GP with his blood lipid profile which resulted LDL -5.6, HDL -0.4, TG-5.7and total cholesterol -9.4. Q1. Ideal Total Cholesterol (TC) should be 4 mmol/L or less, LDL-Cholesterol (LDL) should be 3 mmol/L or less and HDL-Cholesterol it should be over 1mmol/L (men) overall Total Cholesterol the lower figure is the better. In Johns result he has Total Cholesterol of 9.40 which is…

Council Victoria, 2016). The skin is made up of three main layers - the epidermis, the dermis and the fat layer. The layer of fat insulates the body and keeps in warm from changing outside temperatures. The next layer is the dermis, which contains fat, collagen and elastin fibres which provide strength and flexibility to the skin. Blood vessels run through the dermis which supply nutrients to support the active growth of new skin cells. The epidermis, the top layer, is divided into several main…

The hydrogels were created with the specific task of cross-linking and switching the environment where the cells grow from an alginate dominated one to a collagen dominated one. Cells grew rapidly singularly until they grew into the other neighboring cells. It was lastly seen that timing of switching can influence the development of the cells; whether they become cardiac progenitor cells or specialized cardiomyocytes…

Core mechanisms The main organ involved with controlling glucose levels in the body is the pancreas. This organ contains specific areas known as the Islets of Langerhans which contain α cells and β cells. As this essay is focusing on the adverse effects of excess glucose in the body (hyperglycaemia) – the β cells will primary be studied as these act to lower blood glucose within the body. The cells do this by releasing a hormone known as insulin. [10] Figure 1 – Insulin Secretion…

skin, the reticular coating is deeper compared to the papillary layer. The reticular coating has an erratically connective tissue, blood vessels, different glands, and lamellar corpuscles. On the other hand, the dermis layer is strong because of the collagen fibers all over the dermis. The blood vessels that are a part of the dermis is what preserves the homeostasis in the body temperature. C. Hypodermis- This subcutaneous tissue is near the dermis and holds adipose tissue. The hypodermis is…

Fortification is one way in which food processing can alter the bioactive profile of a food. Significant health crises have been resolved via the implementation in 1924 of the addition of iodine to salt to prevent goiter and the 1940s implementation of the additions of vitamin D to milk to prevent rickets and niacin to flour to prevent pellagra. A more recent example is the establishment of the addition of folate to bread and breakfast cereals to prevent neural tube defects in the offspring of…

terminology which can be otherwise called tooth decay. The tooth is the hardest structure is our human body and is made up of organic and inorganic contents It is approximately 45% inorganic material (mainly hydroxyapatite), 33% organic material (mainly collagen) and 22% water. Dental caries is a complex procedure that involves the combined action of bacterial toxins in an acidic environment that causes loss from the tooth structure. The main causative factor for dental caries is the prolonged…

that can be applied with feminist theory during an archeological study, like recognizing how we may apply contemporary gender roles to prehistoric burials. In the case of the Hungarian Mözs and with the thoroughly empirical methods of blood- and collagen-typing, they were able to trace familial lineages and determine that they had a “matrifocal family structure” (Pearson 122). Relativists and feminists alike would likely approve of this conclusion due to the use of hard science to reach a…

on the amount of edema and swelling still present. In the case of a Maisonneuve fracture, the thermal effects of ultrasound could be more beneficial. The use of thermal ultrasound will increase nerve conduction velocity, increase extensibility of collagen-rich structures, increased blood flow, and increased macrophage activity. These primary effects will allow for greater stretch in the patient’s tissues and a reduction of any edema present. To get the desired effects, thermal ultrasound should…

Embryonic STEM Cell Research: Man vs. God 21st century Hawaiians come from a long lineage of powerful and mighty warriors. Their ancestors had to survive several trials and obstacles of war and disease in order to continue on their legacy. Despite the fact, the Hawaiian race has weakened, now becoming the world’s leading population for heart disease. Thanks to revolutionary scientific discoveries, scientists are now able to produce working, artificial organs and tissues using STEM cells,…
