Laboratory Diagnosis Monitoring Parameters • Tourniquet Test Acts as an emergency diagnostic tool whereby formation of more than 20 petechiae per square inch indicates a positive tourniquet test. A circle of 2.5 cm in diameter may be drawn and the number of petechiae in it is counted. More than five petechiae indicates positive test. • Complete Blood Cell Count Blood tests present with lowered total white blood cell, platelet and neutrophil counts and a 20% or more increase in haematocrit…

Imaging studies have transcended the historically common musculoskeletal use becoming a crucial tool in most health care fields providing valuable information in the diagnosis and management of many conditions and diseases. One of those conditions is the continuing growing epidemic of obesity in the United States of America becoming one of the major causes of mortality in our country. Obesity is not an isolated cosmetic element (National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, 2012); it is a serious…

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the preeminent cause of death for both males and females in the United States (US).1 Approximately 610,000 people in the US die of CVD each year, which constitutes 1 out of every 4 deaths. Furthermore, 1 in 3 individuals, or approximately 80 million adult Americans have CVD. In 2011, the projected direct costs from health expenditures and indirect costs from lost productivity for CVD and stroke, which is a long-term complication of cardiovascular disorders, were…

the whole area of the pseudo-ternary phase diagrams using AutoCAD program 2014. Figures 1 and 2 showed pseudo-ternary phase diagrams of various oils from different origin and fatty acid chain length such as vegetable oil (Avocado oil), long chain triglyceride (Labrafil isostearique) and GMO. These oils were tested for their effects on the area of ME formed. It was observed that the vegetable oil “Avocado” based systems gave no ME systems for all tested surfactants except for T80/Labrasol and…

Thyroids - those little butterfly-shaped glands in our necks do so much for us on a daily basis - yet most of us have no idea how to keep them nice and healthy. Our thyroids, and how they function, can have a profound impact on our overall health and well-being. According to The American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists, it is estimated that at least 30 million Americans have a thyroid disorder and at least half are silent sufferers who have not yet been diagnosed. Women over 35 are…

According to the ATI PowerPoint, “The pancreas and the liver are the main function supporters of insulin. The endocrine portion of the pancreas has about 1 million small glands and the islets of Langerhans, scattered through the organ” (ATI PowerPoint). There are two types of cells that are important to glucose controls, alpha and beta cells. The alpha cells produce glucagon, a hormone that causes the release of glucose from the cell storage sites whenever blood sugar levels are low. The Beta…

Discussion In the current study, we tested the hypothesis that high protein meal would produce lower postprandial glucose level than high carbohydrate meal with the similar energy content. Also, the high protein meal could decrease the energy intake in ad libitum lunch meal and reduced the total daily energy intake greater than the high carbohydrate meal. The result of this present study showed that consumption of protein rich breakfast meals led to lower glucose IAUC response and reduced the…
