Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery [LRGB] is a very straightforward procedure. A person gains weight depending on how much food one eats before they feel satiated. If you eat too much before feeling full, you gain weight rapidly, and the opposite is also true. LRGB simply reduces the time it takes before a person starts feeling satiated. It reduces calorific intake and this leads to weight loss. Patients under the age of 18yrs are bound to have excellent results following surgery with…
Unlike the limited research available for how dog’s affect cognitive development, there is a variety of research done on how dog’s affect a child’s psychological and physiological wellbeing; especially concerning the use of AAA and AAT. Walters and Stokes studied how the presence of a dog affected the social interactions between 3 children with developmental disabilities and their teacher. The students’ behaviors were studied and analyzed with a hidden camera, during eight minute sessions, five…
use the upper portion of the stomach and connect it directly to duodenum. This bypass is often made using grafting techniques. Laparoscopy or the limited access to the stomach is a technique that if often used in this surgery. Another method is the Roux-en-Y bypass which is a difficult procedure, but offers many benefits such as limited incision and faster recovery period.…
It is usually divided into three types, malabsorptive (eg. Biliopancreatic Diversion), restrictive (eg. Vertical Banded gastrophoplasty and gastric balloons) and hybrid procedures (eg. Roux-en-Y gastric bypass)(Bingham et al 2013). The success in weight loss achieved by bariatric surgery makes it an attractive option for patients with PWS. Bariatric surgeries have been performed in PWS patients but with mixed outcomes (Heymsfield et al…
such as supermarkets (Diez Roux and Mair, 2010; Kramer and Hogue, 2009 & Williams and Mohamed, 2013);on the contrary they have more options for purchasing alcohol. Physical features of neighborhood built environments, such as land use patterns, density, access to destinations and transportation systems are important resources too. For example, a better pedestrian infrastructure, aesthetics, safety, and land use have been associated with walking for recreation (Diez Roux and Mair,…
focuses on improving the group outcomes while reducing costs (Roux, 2016). Population health differs from public health by focusing on the “broader view of the drivers of health” instead of the personal service of health that is incorporated with societal factors (Roux, 2016, p. 619).The goal of population health is to utilize strategies to improve health for specific groups without concentrating on the inequities of health drivers (Roux, 2016). The main focus of population health is improving…
kinds of bariatric surgeries, or weight loss surgeries. Bariatric surgery is performed by reducing the size of the stomach, either by removing part of it, or using a band. The most well known weight loss surgery is gastric bypass surgery (also known as Roux-en-Y), which is also the most commonly performed weight loss surgery in the world. To qualify for gastric bypass surgery, you must have a body mass index of forty or above; or a body mass index of thirty-five alongside one obesity related…
patterns of a different variable at the various levels of analysis. Since Rousseau seminal work in 1985, multi-level analysis has surfaced as the analytical strategy used in incorporating factors in examining epidemiological studies (Diez Roux & Aiello, 2005). Diez Roux and Aiello explicated that multi-level analysis is used to help understand data that is nested, which is data or variables within another variable. The multi-level analysis allows researchers to examine two variables at the same…
Spina Bifida (Ridosh, Braun, Roux, Bellin and Swain (2011) state “Spina Bifida is a chronic congenital health defect caused from the incomplete closure of the neural tubes of the spinal cord during the first few days of development. It occurs in almost two out of every 10,000 births.” According to the Spina Bifida Association of America, (2014) there are four different types of Spina Bifida. The first one is, Occult Spinal Dysramphism (OSD). Children born with this particular form of the…
I wait quietly before God, for my victory comes from him. Psalms 62:1 noun: waiting the action of staying where one is or delaying action until a particular time or until something else happens. Waiting is certainly not my forte. My time table tends to lean more towards "now" rather than "later". Maybe this is one reason I do not enjoy planting flowers nor knitting. Instant messages, instant coffee and movies on demand suit me well. How did I live sans microwave in the 70's? Frequently,…
