Dehydration

Enteral tube-feeding is a nutritional support method administered to a patient when his or her gastrointestinal tract is operational but unable or reluctant to take enough oral diet. However, this method is cost-effective, but it’s not as simple as it appears. Enteral tube-feeding encounters a number of complications that occur in the process, which ranges from metabolic, gastrointestinal and mechanical problems. The gastrointestinal complications may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea,…

Patient Background Di Abetes is a 26-year-old female, who is Type 1 diabetic diagnosed at the age of 12. Di is completely insulin dependent, meaning the beta cells within her pancreas are unable to create insulin due to autoimmune destruction. With type one diabetes the body is unable to recognize these beta cells therefore attacks the cell as if they are virus. Di has the more rare form of diabetes which only effects about 5% of diabetes cases. Di Abetes took a nap earlier in the day, and…

1. Which do you think are the two, most common places to detect pulse and count the heart rate? The carotid pulse and the brachial pulse because the arteries are the larger ones that are near the surface of our skin so we can feel the pulse more. 2. What are some factors that can increase or decrease the heart rate and the beat you feel at each pulse point? Doing certain exercises can help increase the heart rate and to decrease the heart rate your can do something more relaxing. 3. Athletes…

During the years in the United States, we trap and kill 4 million animals for their fur. We also use trapping for livestock and game protection and for nuisance animal control. There are many different traps but the most common ones are restraining body-gripping traps; kill traps; and live traps. The animals are always suffering through the process of trapping them, they go through pain and death. Others argue that it is humane, selective. They say it’s good for their income and necessary to…

Macromolecules Everything on Earth is made of carbon. Due to this complex molecules are formed. These complex molecules are macromolecules. Macromolecules are polymers, formed by dehydration synthesis. Dehydration Synthesis is when monomers are combines and water is removed. There are four types of macromolecules, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, and proteins. Carbohydrates are made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. With a structural components such as glucose and sugar.…

As warm weather is fast approaching, it is common for the news to report the benefits of staying hydrated. The article starts off with a personal experience of dehydration from the author. I think everyone has experienced the effects of dehydration at least once. These symptoms include headaches, dry and sticky mouth, loss of concentration and memory. The author compares it to feeling like a lead balloon. The benefits of good hydration, which mainly comes from water, includes defense against…

bowling accuracy reduced by 19.8 ± 17.3%, suggesting they were less accurate resulting in a decrease in performance. For an elite athlete who are in a results business (Cross, 2005), this can become a factor upon whether your team win or lose. Dehydration can also influence reaction time. The less hydrated the performer is the lower the reaction time (Bonci and Bonci, 2009). For a cricket performer, this is crucial as your reactions will be tested throughout the game especially when batting and…

Now onto the fresh information, the Dehydration Synthesis process and the Macromolecules. I’ll start with the Macromolecules. These molecules are the four molecules all living things need to survive. The four molecules are Proteins, DNA, Carbohydrates, and Lipids. Each of these molecules is made of Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen at the very least. Proteins have Nitrogen as an added element, and DNA has Phosphate and Nitrogen. The base structure of each molecule has a carbon skeleton. This means…

Water, being the main component of foods, is an important diluent for other water soluble food components such as carbohydrate, protein, fiber, minerals and vitamins. Most fresh foods contain a large amount of water, normally more than 70%, while fresh fruits and vegetables can contain up to 90 to 98% of water (Gowen, 2012). Water in foods can be categorized into two classes, free water and bound water. Free water is freely available for chemical or biological reactions as well as for microbial…
