Finally, remember that your education is an ongoing habit, not a single event. Getting your degree, diploma or certificate is just the beginning of your continuing education as a Hijama therapist. Make it a “habit” to obtain knowledge often so that, like your patients – and for your patients – you are learning something new every day. Your Patients Need Knowledge Too You should be able to teach patients how to change their lifestyle and habits to maintain good health. This includes sharing…

The results of the experiment showed a significant change in plasma glucose and serum cortisol concentrations of the sheep that were administered insulin which validates the hypothesis of the experiment. Glucose does not readily penetrate cell membranes as cell membranes are composed of phospholipids and glucose is hydrophilic and lipophobic due to the hydroxyl groups (Klein, 2013). Insulin, the major hormone that controls plasma glucose concentrations, increases the permeability of the liver,…

Introduction:- We know that Childhood is the age period that is ranging from birth to adolescence. While we talk about childhood in terms of developmental psychology then we can say that childhood is divided up into the developmental stages of:- • Toddler hood (learning to walk) • Early childhood (play age) • Middle childhood (school age) • Adolescence (puberty through post-puberty). By seeing the developmental stages of childhood one should know that childhood is the…

Since the discovery of fossils in the early 19th century, people have wondered how the dinosaurs went extinct. Many theories have since come about, however, even today we cannot be sure what exactly whipped out these magnificent and colossal beings. In 1679, Robert Plot found and sketched a thigh bone which he believed was from the skeleton of a giant man This fossil has since disappeared, however the drawing remains and seems to suggest it was actually a part of a megalosaurus. In 1822, Mary…

human life, a large number of studies have been conducted to reveal further factors that impair memory performance. Previous physiological perspectives on memory have hypothesized that stress has an impact on memory as it activates the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) pathway, resulting in the secretion of corticotrophin-releasing hormone and altering the brain’s chemical composition. This in turn would make access to stored information during a stressful situation harder than in normal…

is the lack of success to do well syndrome, in which children in distress due to drawn-out disrespect or neglect do not grow anymore. In these certain types of children, psychological stress composed by their social environment generates the pituitary gland to terminate emitting growth hormones. When the environmental stress is relieved, and the child redeems personal interest by someone, strong fondness, and provocation, the growing of the body starts back up usually at a speed that authorizes…

can either be a X-ray or a MRI. Ordering these images can give the doctor the ability to see abnormalities of the skull and skeleton, the ability to see delayed maturation of bones, growth hormones deficiency, and reveal abnormalities of the pituitary gland and hypothalamus, which both play a role in hormone function, and help in diagnosing which form of dwarfism. Genetic testing, hormone testing, and family history also play a role when diagnosing someone with dwarfism. Cara Reedy was born…

The sperm cell makes it journey through the body to make it to the egg. This article discus the journey this sperm cell will make to get to the egg to fertilize it. It starts with talking about the cell and how it works. As it says in the article “The sperm starts out as a round, immobile cell. An important structure, the "acrosomal body," that will eventually develop highly erosive enzymes--able to dissolve the membranes around other cells--is made by Sertoli cells at the newly-developed head…

Because of the changes that influence the endocrine system it is easy for healthcare professionals to misinterpret the symptoms of diabetes and thyroid disease. As we get old, the thyroid and the pituitary gland become small in sizes which lead to a reduction of all their primary function. Older adults, as a result of these changes, lose their ability to adequately produce insulin. According to Eliopoulos (2014), “type 2 diabetes, the seventh leading…

Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis is defined as an autoimmune disease (Bishay, 2016). The lymphocytes of the body attack the thyroid and affect the functioning of it. This is a life altering disease that can cause disastrous consequences to the Hashimoto’s patient (Kırmızıbekmez, 2014). This is a disease which affects body’s functionality, energy, sleeping, fatigue, metabolism and much more (Bishay, 2016). Hashimoto’s takes a toll on its victims and often they can fall into depressed and discouraged…
