Weight loss and weight regain were similar between the dieting groups, as were changes to fat and lean tissue – which is significant, because one intermittent fasting claim is that it leads to less muscle loss than traditional calorie-restrictive diets. Reduction of cardiovascular risk factors, including blood pressure, cholesterol and triglycerides, were…

use of fetal tissue transplantation and whether or not the use of fetal tissue obtained from aborted fetuses is ethical for the treatment of degenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s disease and diabetes. The concept of using fetal tissue in research has been around for many years. In 1954, a Nobel Prize in Medicine was awarded when a polio vaccine was discovered through the use of fetal kidney cells. Later, a measles vaccine was developed which also used fetal cells. Fetal tissue makes a good…

intrauterine environment from the mother’s diet, which causes the baby’s brain to create the hormone leptin which signals it to work for or against the fat cell quantity and its storage. Toxins in our environment can also have an impact on the fetal tissue…

mechanical properties of the tissues. This change results in increase in stiffness or elastic modulus of the tissue. Hence this phenomenon is the basis of Elastography imaging which depends on the mechanical properties of the tissue [1, 2]. There are three types of elastic modulus namely 1. Young’s Modulus denoted by E - It is the tendency of the object to deform along the axis when the opposing forces are applying along that axis. It characterises the stiffness of the tissue. 2. The shear…

As Sydney Bell notes, “A 2013 study on health and quality of life for overweight and obese people published in the Journal of Eating Disorders suggests that decreased health outcomes for fat people may be less about the negative impacts of fat tissue and more about the results of the attempts to alter bodies with yo-yo dieting, weight-loss surgery, and drugs”(14). Provided with this study, it is evident that the social outlook of how people should look like is extremely dramatic and radical.…

and connective tissue is found in the oesophagus. This is because the smooth muscle contracts which helps to move food along the.

The oesophagus is where the food travels towards the stomach so that it can be broken down which then the body uses for energy. The nucleus controls the cell activities inside the cell. Mitochondria are needing to give energy to the cell and tissue. The…

Often there is more to many situations then what can be seen even ones as cut and dry as weight. A major trending topic is obesity with many people split on two different sides of the topic. One side claims obesity is completely due to a lack of will-power, and people just need to put down the fork, eat healthier, and exercise, while the other side claims it is a disease or a medical condition and should be treated as such. In some way, both camps are right, but there is more to eating then just…

44. There is a recently discovered hormone known as Ghrelin. 1) Please explain the role this hormone is thought to play in the weight loss that occurs after stomach-reduction surgery. 2) Please analyze and decide for yourself whether it plays a decisive role, or not. (6pts) After stomach reduction surgery, the stomach would “stretch” even with a small amount of food, and therefore signal the release of the leptin hormone, which counters the ghrelin hormone, that stimulated the…

Some of the nursing indicators that need to be considered while caring for this patient are complications such as pressure ulcers, hospital acquired pneumonia and DVT. As well as patient falls and restraint prevalence which could impact the length of stay. Why is this patient being restrained? What alternatives have been tried keep this patient out of restraints? Immobility can be deadly as it increase the risk for DVT, hospital acquired pneumonia and pressure ulcers. It is important to…
