Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus (NDI) Case Study Epidemiology and Mechanisms of the disease The Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus is firstly a rare disease to get or it can be inherited and the rate of getting it is 1 in 20 million which shows how rare this condition is. The cause is that the body has low levels of Arginine Vasopressin (AVP) and Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) which then cause the kidneys unable to concentrate the urine which is called polyuria which leads to excessive amount of urine…

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION Diabetes, also known as Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a serious medical condition that occurs when the body becomes incapable of regulating blood sugar level. This results in several chronic complications to develop in the body, including the most prevalent Diabetic Neuropathies, along with vascular disease, slow healing and diminished response to infection over time (Brem, Sheehan & Boulton 2004). Due to severe damage of nerve cells throughout the body, diabetic patients…

low insulin production in the body, or the body not responding to insulin properly. The two types of diabetes are type 1 and type 2. Type 1 diabetes, also known as insulin-dependent diabetes, occurs when insulin isn't produced by the body. In type 1 diabetes, the pancreas of the patient is attacked by their body's antibodies, and as an effect, the pancreas doesn't make insulin. Type 1 diabetes was called juvenile-onset diabetes because it begins when you're…

and produces a very large amount of 3.8 litres of urine in 24 hours. The next step this patient should take before seeking treatment is she should do more diagnostics to determine if she definitely has diabetes and if so, what type of diabetes (type 1 or type 2). One test that can be done is the Glycated hemoglobin (A1C) test. This is a blood test indicates the patients average blood sugar level for the past two to three months. It measures the percentage of blood sugar attached to hemoglobin.…

Increasing Physical Activity on Previously Sedentary Type 1 Diabetic Children Background Type 1 Diabetes is a condition that effects many people, and the disease debilitates their ability to exercise. Type 1 diabetes is caused by a loss or malfunction of the insulin producing cells, called pancreatic beta cells. Damage to the beta cells results in an absence or insufficient amount of insulin produced by the body. Most cases of type 1 diabetes have an autoimmune basis, and the immune system…

My grandfather is lying painfully silent on the bed after having a portion of his foot removed from the effects of diabetes. I shift my head to the side and see my family that is diabetic, prediabetic, or on the path towards…

respond to the bodies insulin, the result is a blood glucose level that is too high. Some people are born with a genetic susceptibility, are exposed to environmental factors or viruses, or they have a pancreas that falls under attack – that’s when Type 1 diabetes may develop. We still do not know for sure what causes it but it’s usually attributed to an autoimmune process and many individuals with this type of diabetes…

Speed bumps are a representation of life's many pauses. They were set in place to help you ease through your battles slowly.

Some of the speed bumps that I faced was being a diabetic, high school, and learning how to conquer being shy. Diabetes is a silent deadly disease that works around the clock to destruct the body of many…

Canavan Disease is a progressive deadly gene linked neurological disorder. In 1931, Dr. Myrtelle Canavan, who was a physician and medical researcher, first described the syndrome. Dr. Rueben Matalon discovered the defect and duplicated the gene for the Canavan Disease. The disease starts in infancy, and at birth, most children with the disease appear ordinary. Within the first few months of life, children exhibit advanced physical and mental capabilities. A genetic mutation on chromosome…

The Course Rationale In United States, over 170,000 people under the age 20 have diabetes which is diagnosed (Aubert, 1995; World Health Organization, 2011). There is a growing need for diabetes education among adults, as the disease affects all age and social groups of population (Allman, 2008). The instructional intervention would become best solution to educate people about diabetes and expand knowledge about the types of treatment and their implications. Aims and Desired Outcomes The…
