Insulin shock therapy

myself. As soon as I discovered there was nothing like I expected, I was anxious and homesick. I wondered how long it would take me to adapt to this new culture and the people. Only a couple months passed, but I already experienced several culture shocks such as tipping, holding doors, greeting strangers, kissing in public, and difference view of respecting to elders, etc. Most of them I experienced in high school, it was where I learned the most interesting and weird things of American…

scholarly article, “ Behavioral Study of Obedience” written and conducted by Stanley Miller, an experiment was performed to see if a group of amenable participants, named subjects, were willing to provide electrical shocks to another person, the experiment tested how far down the severity of shocks the subject would administer to the victim. The question is would being in the position of control and having a feeling as if the subject cannot leave, makes shocking another person justifiable? To…

When a phone company puts out an advertisement, their main goal is to promote a message to prevent such tragic events from occurring in society. There are many advertisements trying to grab the audience’s attention to make a difference. In this advertisement, AT&T, uses a real life situation to show the audience how risky it is to use your phone while driving. Since AT&T is a major phone seller, they take advantage of that to reduce the number of accidents in a majority of people to…

This condition was in one of the clinical correlations which I thought was interesting how the body’s energy processes worked against themselves. Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a rare, inherited life-threatening condition that is induced by general anesthetic drugs such as halothane. Generally, most cases show no signs or symptoms until individuals are exposed to anesthesia. However, there are cases where an individual with MH goes under anesthetics and will not react. The reaction includes a…

If you have ever read one of those articles on when a patient first finds out they have cancer, you immediately ponder to their reaction. I think about how their heart drops deep into their stomach, how the shock makes their facial expression as dull as a back of a butter knife and I think about how there are over 2 million thoughts running through their minds right then. I thought about how scared I would be to lose all my golden blonde locks of hair, how sickening I would look being as pale as…

soldiers led lines of naked Jews to their deaths in gas chambers at grimy concentration camps across Europe while Milgram’s subjects were merely asked to flip a switch and shock a man on the other side of the wall. German soldiers watched their victims die while Milgrim’s subjects were assured by the experimenter that the shocks “may be painful, but they’re not dangerous” (1). But is such an argument actually valid? Most antagonistic authority figures like Adolf Hitler and his fellow Nazis would…

In Milgram’s experiment participants continued to give the shocks to the student even after the student begged the teacher to stop. In some occasions, the teacher stopped for a few moments but continued when the man in the white coat told them to proceede. In a particular moment, the last teacher (one with white shirt and color collar) continued to give the student the shock but not before being reassured that in case that something happened to the student he would…

body due to insulin resistance or insulin deficiency. This disease is extremely prevalent. One report puts the prevalence anywhere from 0.5 to greather than 10 percent of the population.3 The prevalence is increasing as the population ages and is becoming more overweight. There are two forms of this terrible disease. Type one diabetes is characterized by immune-mediated destruction of beta cells leading to an absolute deficiency of insulin. Type 2 diabetes is a relative insulin deficiency…

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is identified as a metabolic disorder, directly involving the pancreas which has a chronic effect on the body in those who are diagnosed. The lack of insulin production and/or the body’s decreased ability to use insulin effectively is what leads to the disease process causing multiple body systems to undergo changes as a result (Shrivastava, 2013). DM can be classified into two categories: Type 1 or Type 2. The National Diabetes Statistics Report 2014, consensus that 29.1…

The pathophysiologic changes that occurs in a patient with diabetic ketoacidosis involve a shift in the intracellular and extracellular levels. It usually happens in patient with Type I diabetes. At the beginning there is an insufficient supply of insulin circulating which will lead to a higher glucose levels that cause osmotic diuresis. As a result, glucose is permeable to the glomerular filtration (glycosuria) and is excreted in the urine. Furthermore, sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium and…
