The literature reviewed showed that diabetes self-management education (DSME) is an ongoing process used to facilitate and empower individuals to learn about diabetes and its complications. Hwee, Cauch-Dudek, Victor, Ng, & Shah (2014) define DSME as a critical element of care for people with diabetes to learn to manage their conditions in order to improve the outcomes. Multidisciplinary healthcare professionals that equip the patients with self-management skills, provide education and…

The heart is a vital organ that controls blood flow to the entire body. Without the heart muscles, organs and all other body parts would die.

As a medical student this is an important topic of interest because it is found that, "Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States and the cost to combat it…

the patient’s age and lack of risk factors, she does not need the following screenings: sexually transmitted disease screenings, colorectal cancer screening, breast cancer screening with mammography, and osteoporosis screening with a bone mineral density test. From these screening recommendations, she does not need another pap smear for another 2 years. She was screened for diabetes, obesity, immunization deficits, depression, domestic violence, and the use of alcohol, tobacco, and illicit…

Solidity ratio comparison at low flume speeds favor’s the turbine with higher solidity. The low solidity turbine could not self-start in flow speeds up to 0.8 m/s, whereas the higher solidity turbines had no difficulty with self-starting in flow speeds of 0.5 m/s. Hen et al. (2013) at his stage1 experiment, he tested…

3.2 Analysis of chip formation Fig. 7 shows the chip forms obtained during milling of the Al7075 (a) and MMCs (b) using the uncoated carbide inserts at a feed rate of 0.1 mm/tooth, machining speed of 290 m/min and axial depth of cut of 1.3 mm. The Al7075 chips formed during milling exhibited a smooth and shiny surface, and were in a semicircular and parabolic trapezoidal wave with a small radius and a saw-tooth-form, as shown in Fig. 7 (a). Fig. 7 (b) shows the chip shapes formed during the…
