Steroids Probably one of the biggest stories in the news today is steroids in Major League Baseball. This is one of the reasons that I chose to do my research paper on steroids. I knew that it would not be hard to find information on the issue. I also needed to have a topic that relates to my service learning project. This is helping coach a high school track and field team. And as you will read later, I talk about steroids with high school athletes. I also wanted to improve my knowledge on the
dramatic effects on patients' health. In some causes it is associated with increased mortality. It is estimated that 4,270 patients die from kidney failure.1 Thus, it is considered a serious threat to millions of patients with kidney failure. This research paper, is to provide a general overview of the causes of kidney failure, shedding light on it stages, symptoms and risk factors. It also examines the process of kidney transplantation to treat kidney failure. Finally, it presents the potential side
Although CPAP is the main treatment for sleep apnea, poor adherence is a major problem that affects the effectiveness of the treatment (Soudorn, C., Muntham, D., Reutrakul, S., & Chirakalwasan, N., 2016). Many patients experience discomfort, such as dry nose, mouth, or throat, while using CPAP and may hinder the daily use of the prescribed
main tasks are to absorb impacts based upon our daily activities. This gel-like substance in between the spinal bones dries out over time as the aging progress. On younger adults the condition occurs due to physical injuries obtained. The consequences of fluid loss in spinal disk will inflect pain to the individual depending on movements and
climate change impacts the odds of an individual extreme event occurring, like the 98 inches of snow that has fallen in Boston this season. So what is going on with this extreme weather, and what does it have to do with global climate change? This paper will try to provide an overview of current knowledge of climate change and its effects on extreme weather with a keen focus on attribution to climate change study. As the climate has warmed, some types of extreme weather have become more frequent and
“The word eczema comes from the Greek word “ekzein” which means “to boil.” Eczema (also known as dermatitis) is a dry skin condition” (National Eczema Society, 2016).Atopic eczema is the most common type of eczema which is also associated with other atopic allergies such as hay fever and asthma (Patient, 2016). Eczema causes the skin to appear cracked, red, itchy and dry. Atopic eczema can affect any part of the body but mostly around the neck, cheeks, inside or outside the elbows and scalp. There
circumstances related to health status. The epidemiology research help to understand in what means a person catch diseases, the changes, and how the disease affect the population. The nurses that work with these communities to help identify the onset of communicable diseases determine new victims, the patterns it spread, the causes or preventive methods are known as community or public health nursing (Maurer, Smith, 2013). The purpose of this paper is to explain on the concepts of a communicable disease
through nursing practice, research, and patient education (Abbas, 2015). This paper will discuss chest pain and the factors surrounding it, along information collected from two patients with cardiac and respiratory diseases. Assessment techniques including checking capillary refill time, skin turgor, color and temperature of the upper and lower extremities, peripheral pulse checks, and pulse amplitudes and the significance of noted abnormalities will also be discussed in this paper. With increased proficiency
Introduction In this research paper, I will be writing about Periodontitis as a risk factor for Systemic Diseases. It has been known that some systemic diseases alter the presentation and progression of periodontal disease. Evidence suggests that periodontal disease may play a role as a risk factor in developing and management of a serious systemic disease. Periodontal infections have been implicated in cardiovascular disease, preterm and low- birth weight infants, and bacterial pneumonia. In addition
Merriam-Webster defines disability as, “the condition of being disabled; limitation in the ability to pursue an occupation because of a physical or mental impairment; a program providing financial support to one affected by disability; lack of legal qualification to do something; a disqualification, restriction, or disadvantage” (1), but what does being disabled or at a disadvantage really mean? In the definition, variations of the word qualify are used more than once, meaning that from the viewpoint
