His first priority now that he has diabetes is taking the insulin at the appropriate time. He has to do this so he not hyperglycemic nor hypoglycemic. It is important to take his insulin because he tested positive for ketones, the insulin will help eliminate them (Lilley & Collins, 2014). Food is another crucial priority he has to take into considerations. He needs to prevent himself from eating processed foods, high carb foods (unless he is exercising after), or fruits…

Sepsis and What I Would Change from Current Practice Sepsis is one of the world's leading healthcare problems, which is more prevalent than cardiac arrest. The condition strikes approximately 30 million people worldwide annually. The majority of the victims either end up dying or suffering permeant health problems. The condition is still on record for claiming more lives compared to other deadly illnesses such as cancer, especially in less developed economies (Jawad, Luksic, & Rafnsson…

Gene-environment interaction and its effect on obesity disease Unlike what is usually portrayed on media, obesity is not just a problem of unhealthy lifestyle but in fact influenced by genetic factor as well. Genetic factor is believed to attribute 40 – 70% in the development of obesity (Shawky & Sadik, 2012). In other words, environment, genotypes and the association of these two factors play roles in the phenotype expression, which, in this case, is obesity. With regards to environmental…

it is classified as an aldohexose (a hexose with an aldehyde group on one end). There are also other common standard that were used in this lab is fructose. Similar to Glucose, Fructose has 6 carbon atoms, however, it is a ketohexose (a hexose with ketone group on one end) (Bruice 2011).…

Amino acids Amino acids are building block s of proteins. Each amino acid contains main three structural components. 1) Amino group 2) Carboxcilic group 3) R group Figure 1 https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=amino+acids&view=detailv2&&id=072990A13D7C6B29926E0FC3F9E9BE59C8A6322E 2016 R can be hydrogen or any other functional group .in world there are around 182-200 found to be present in nature but we can find 20 aminoacids in…

Surviving in harsh conditions is rough, but how quickly the mind reacts to its surroundings can change everything. Whether it is a natural disaster, being in a war, or getting captured by an enemy government, the urge to survive skews the mind from what is right, wrong, and what is truly real. Lord of the Flies, by William Golding, A Long Way Gone, by Ishmael Beah, and Night, by Elie Wiesel, all show the changes of the mind and the people around them that push them to survive. These books…

Some of the cons include the side effects from the body being in a state of ketosis. Ketosis side effects can include bad breath, tiredness, weakness, dizziness, insomnia, and even nausea (Martin, 2008). In addition, the buildup of uric acid and ketones can cause headaches, gout, even kidney problems (Martin, 2008). The diet is low in fiber, which can lead to constipation. The high fat content of the diet could lead to heart complications that include arterial blockage and heart diseases. When…

enzymes which mediate the release of hydrogen cyanide (HCN) and aldehyde or ketone from cyanohydrins [1]. These HNL catalyse enantioselective synthesis and cleavage of cyanohydrins [2]. The cyanohydrins and their derivatives are finding wide applications in industries like pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and cosmetics since these can be readily converted into other important molecules like α-hydroxy carboxylic acids, α-hydroxy ketones and β-amino acids [3]. The HNLs have been reported, purified…

Diabetic ketoacidosis is another acute complication of diabetes mellitus. It is the hallmark of type 1 diabetes and it is usually occured in previously undiagnosed diabetes (Anderson & Gale, 2009), in which the insulin deficiency favours the pathway of ketone bodies production that will eventually decreases the serum pH level and when the condition gets worse, the patient falls into coma state (Funk, 2010). Non-ketotic hyperosmolar state is another acute complication. As mentioned by Anderson…

the pancreas; it promotes the cellular uptake of glucose into skeletal and cardiac muscles, as well as in adipose (connective fat) tissue. Insulin also decreases the physiologic production of glucose (mostly in the liver) and turns off destructive ketone production (Poisoning & drug overdose, 2015). This medication is essential for patients with Type One DM as it is…
