Hdc Case Study

While alcohol may have damaging effects to one’s body, many benefits exist if one drinks responsibly. Many studies and cases do show alcohol can damage the liver and other parts of the body; however, when one drinks in a moderate manner many health benefits may exist. Alcohol helps to fight against various health conditions and risks common among many people,

The pathophysiology of alcoholism begins after alcohol the ingestion of alcohol. It is absorbed and unaltered through the stomach and intestines. Next it is distributed throughout the body through the blood and absorbed by all tissues and fluids (Huether, 2012, p. 72). Furthermore, in the liver the alcohol blood content is metabolized into acetaldehyde by the enzymes process of alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), the microsomal ethanol oxidizing system (MEOS), and catalase (Huether & McCance, 2012). Next, the metabolizing effects the central nervous system (CNS) and exhibits a depressant action. It is first expressed in the subcortical structures of the brain. This has an effect of disorientation of motor skills and intellect. With an increase in blood alcohol concentration, the medullary centers become depressed and as a result affects respiration (Huether & McCance, 2012). In addition, the effects of alcoholism encourage hepatic and gastric changes. The hepatic effect is caused by acetaldehyde, in which, induces inflammation, fatty deposits and enlargement of the liver (Huether & McCance, 2012).

However the 52-week toxicity in infant monkeys and the 2010 Swiss mice studies has provided pivotal, contradictory evidence to the aspartame debate. Dr. Waisman at the University of Wisconsin Medical Center located in Madison Wisconsin initiated the 52-week toxicity study in infant monkeys in 1971 . This study orally served Aspartame mixed in milk formula to seven infant Rhesus monkeys over a 52-week period . Waisman put the monkeys into three groups: a low dose group (1.0 g/kg), a medium dose group (3.0 g/kg) and a high dose group (4-6 g/kg) . There was no control group, meaning there was not a group of newborn monkeys that were not fed aspartame. Since monkeys are primates similar to humans—with only a 1.2 percent genetic difference—monkeys were chosen to study the effects of aspartame on primates. Data shows that one monkey from the high dosage group died over 300 days, five of seven suffered grad mal seizures in the low dose group starting on the 218th day of treatment, and all monkeys in the medium and high dose groups exhibited seizures . According to data, the seizures coincided with the levels of phenylalanine . One should note that in the low dose group there was not a significant increase in serum phenylalanine levels; therefore, convulsions were not expected . Overall, the findings of this study correlated brain seizures with high amounts of aspartame particularly phenylalanine ingested by the monkeys, but at low dosages no biologically meaningful alterations occurred . In addition, the study reported food intake and growth rate were reduced when compared to the historical range . (This data can be studied in figures two to four .) Though the evidence of this study correlates aspartame with brain seizures, the FDA still approved aspartame for human consumption. This is because there are issues with the studies sample size and procedures. The study did not use a large sample of

Phenylalanine can pass through the blood brain barrier and significantly change the production of neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters are the chemicals that send signals from one neuron to another. By bonding to a, “…neutral amino acid transporter (NAAT)...” (Humphries, Pretorius, Naudé, 2008, para. 7) phenylalanine is able to pass through the blood brain barrier. The body also further breaks down phenylalanine to tyrosine when it is processed through the liver. If tyrosine is additionally broken down to dihydroxyphenylalanine and reaches the brain the production of dopamine will be compromised leading to depression like symptoms after the consumption of aspartame. Further cellular breakdowns are additionally explained throughout the article. The two most shocking assertions are the long-term effects with consuming high levels of aspartame with increasing the chemical glutamate on the NMDA receptors leading to a decrease in stimulation and neurodegeneration, possibly causing or mimicking the symptoms of the disease Alzheimer 's. The second alarming claim made on the effect of long-term ingestion of aspartame is when aspartame 's temperature exceeds 86 degrees Fahrenheit. As the authors observed, “…the wood alcohol in aspartame is converted into formaldehyde and then to formic acid, which in turn causes metabolic acidosis.” (Humphries, Pretorius, Naudé, 2008). Metabolic acidosis causes methanol toxicity, which has been associated with mimicking the symptoms of multiple

Liver is known as the metabolic port of entry for any endobiotic and xenobiotic substance. The anabolism and catabolism of most of the nutrients are in major performed by the liver. Carbohydrate, protein and fat metabolism by the liver is of significance as the anomalies in metabolism of these nutrients may introduce several types of metabolic syndromes. The protective effects of aqueous green tea extract have been shown on hyperglycaemia, hyperlipidaemia and liver dysfunction in diabetic and obese rat models [74]. Different nutrients combinations were tested in a long-term feeding in experimental mouse model. Regional and continental food habit and practices are very much different. Effects of Western, vegetarian, and Japanese dietary fat

During this unit I learned how to share a project with fellow classmates to allow them to work on it at the same time as me. I also learned the three different ways to allow this, by either sharing it with them, sending them an invite or link through via email, or by copying the link and sending it them. When I used Google Docs in high school we just shared it with one another and could see when we were all on. We also used it when we presented, but I did not know with One Drive you could present online! I think that is one of the coolest tools ever! Not only can you work on these projects and documents together, but you can communicate with each other as well. I was also unaware of how many gigs of storage you get when you sign up for programs

Often times while working in the critical care unit I am faced with similar situations like the example in Exercise 1-1. Often times delegate to families the various roles as part of an overall collaborative team. At first I take the leader role; the leader will assess the situation and create a plan to implement for others to follow with little to no harm or risk (Yoder-Wise, 2014). It is during this time that I locate the person in the family and “assign” a person of contact/point of contact for the family. All calls made to the unit in regards to the patient’s condition are deferred to the point of contact person. In the manager role; which is defined as a role in which a process of following a set of practices and procedures have been tested with proven outcomes that satisfy everyone’s needs (Yoder-Wise, 2014).

Since 1400 to 1700, the population of the world has seen three periods that affect them; the renaissance period, the baroque period and the Rococo period. Each period has a different kind of paintings, a different kind of art, and a different way to affect the society.

Key problems for this family include maintaining proper nutrition for their children, consuming the right foods with the right amount of nutrients for Jennifer, who is pregnant, adopting a heart healthy diet for the father, James, who is at risk of developing heart disease and managing their grandfather’s hypertension at home.

I personally love the fact that OSHA is in place. I want to go home in the same way I came to work. I want to go to work knowing that my employer is making it safe and all precautions to keep me from getting a infectious disease are in place. Knowing there are standards that has to be followed and that the employer must provide the proper PPE for me to perform my job safely is a great reassurance for me. If we did not have OSHA in place the world would not be safe. OSHA helps prevent the spread of diseases and helps keep people safe. People wouldn't want to work around places that wasn't made to be safe. If they didn't have to follow rules some places might cut corners and cause problems .

As mentioned by Calloway in the beginning of the “Documents” section, it is important to consider that historians often disregard stories due to their lack of understanding and that these stories can provide insight into the lives of individuals who lived through certain times in history. As pointed out by Leslie Marmon Silko, origin stories should not be taken as fact. I think that viewpoint supports the idea of possible migrations.

My intent is to defend, provide security capability while building partners utilizing all elements of the diplomacy, information, military and economic domains for USEASTCOM. Understand our purpose is to strengthen the capacity of our African partners’ ability to provide security and positive governance. Remain steadfast; because this will be a long and enduring task; one that will challenge you mentally, emotionally, and physically. USEASTCOM needs us and with that being said; we will stand with them to ensure their lands and more importantly US homeland is secured by defeating violent extremist organizations before they can make it to our shores. Our actions will enable the U.N., African Union (AU), and other regional organizations to counter

Thesis: Caffeine can have many different effects on the body depending on the amount of consumption.

This is particularly true for orally administered AS. The parentally administered AS seem to have less serous effects on the liver. Testosterone cypionate, testosterone enanthate and other inject able anabolic steroids seem to have little adverse effects on the liver. However, lesions of the liver have been reported after neither parental nor testosterone administration, and also occasionally after injection of testorone esters.Painkillers (codeine and morphine based tablets): It has been shown that regular use of pain relievers may have an increased risk of high blood pressure. There are health implications because blood pressure has significant issues for men and women if uncontrolled. Even when diagnosed, it has been shown that high blood pressure has an adverse effect on mortality and morbidity. Cough Linctus (Gee’s Linctus, collis Brown Mixture): These medicines contain opium tincture and have a suppressant effect on the respiratory system. They slow metabolism and heart rate, decrease pupil size, dry mouth. Alcohol: Alcohol is a legal substance used by many, clear and undisputed evidence that it impairs the user. The excessive use of alcohol dehydrates the brain and the body. It causes sclerosis of the liver, slurring of speech, tendency of violent behaviour. Illegal drugs
