Collagen is used as the framework for skin, bones, blood vessels, and other body tissue. LIPIDS & FATS: The mother-to-be must include enough fat in her diet to meet the needs of her growing baby. Lipids, including sterols, phospho-lipids, and triglycerides, which are primarily made up of fatty acids, are another basic building material of body tissue and integral to body functioning. CARBOHYDRATES: Dietary carbohydrate is broken down to form glucose, also known as blood sugar. The rapid…

increases with age. The American Heart Association describes metabolic syndrome--- which is also known as syndrome X--- as a “cluster” of risk factors that happens when you hit a trifecta of conditions. They include high blood pressure, a high triglycerides level, low HDL (the good cholesterol), high fasting blood sugar level, as well as having a large waist-- 40 inches or larger in men, and 35…

Fish are cold-blooded aquatic vertebrates. They are highly susceptible to seasonal and diurnal variations in water temperature in their habitats. Any abnormal change in temperature may influence fish survival, change physiological, biochemical function and enzymatic activities. In order to address this, we exposed Bighead carp Aristichthys nobilis to an increase in temperature from 28°C to 38°C and measured the effects on histopathological changes in gill, liver and kidney tissues, physiological…

2.) Cholecystitis (ICD9- 575.0)/Cholelithiasis (ICD9- 574.0)/Choledocholithasis (ICD9- 575.40): She states pain and discomfort following the ingestion of greasy foods. She has a positive Murphy’s sign upon assessment. Her pain is radiating to the right scapular area. Indicative of pain of the liver, ulcer, cholecystitis (Jarvis, 2012). Pain is described as constant with the presence of nausea and vomiting on occasion. Further testing is required to determine the state of the gallbladder…

and body mass index of the patients decreased significantly (P<0.0001). The level of total cholesterol decreased ... HDL cholesterol levels significantly increased ... LDL cholesterol levels significantly decreased after treatment. The level of triglycerides decreased significantly ... The level of blood glucose significantly decreased. … Administering a ketogenic diet for a relatively longer period of time did not produce any significant side effects in the patients.” These conclusions gave…

which is approximately 1.5-2 and the right temperature which ranges from 30-40C. Hydrochloric acid, a clear, colourless, highly corrosive solution made up of hydrogen chloride in water. HCL helps break down peptides, amino acids, and lipids into triglycerides (fats from food that are carried in the blood). HCL activates pepsinogen into the enzyme pepsin which then helps with the digestion of proteins and it defends against harmful pathogens. The next experiment that was preformed was about…

Nursing Diagnosis  Lorenzo was not feeding properly, due to impaired swallowing which results in neuromuscular impairment. Interventions  Brain MRIs needs to be monitored for children’s every six to twelve months for identify the early signs of disease progression.  Make sure that the parents/caregivers providing required health maintenance to Lorenzo’s diet/supplements on schedule.  Always keeping Lorenzo happy doing the things which he like reading books or playing music.  Confirm…

This figure shows the 2 different extremes of coronary artery disease plaques that can build up in the arteries. Stenotic lesions have more compact lipid cores, with more fibrosis and calcification with thick fibrous caps. There is less enlargement due to positive remodeling in these plaques. These types produce ischemia which is treated by medical therapy and revascularization surgery for relief of symptoms. Nonstenoic lesions are the more dominant type in the body and are more common than…

Results Table 1 showed that oral administration of Diclofenac sodium at 150mg/kg.b.w. resulted in a significant increase in renal tumor necroses factor -α (TNF-α), nitric oxide (NO) and thiobarbaturic acid reactive substances (TBARS) compared to the normal control group (p< 0.01). Rat receiving extract of any of the two doses of cranberry extract used in this study (75 and 150mg/kg.b.w.) showed a significant decrease in renal TNF-α, NO and TBARS compared to the group that received Diclofenac…
