CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY The problem of teenage pregnancy among in-school adolescence in the recent time has been quite provoking. This menace has been described by some authorities as an ill wind that blows nobody any good (Coleman and Hamen, 2007). The reason is because information obtained from the detailed work of Coleman and Hamen, (2007) stated that some people in some areas maintain that teenage pregnancy to prove fertility among girls before they get married.

Peri-operative morbidity and mortality is higher in patients with diabetes (1, 2), and they have a longer hospital stay than non-diabetic patients. There is a lot of evidence to show that poor glycaemic control before, during and after surgery increases the risk of adverse outcomes, irrespective of whether the patient is a diabetic or not. (3) Peri-operative hyperglycaemia in surgical patients is associated with increased complications following surgery, especially wound infections.(4) Prevention

2015; Department of Health [DOH], 2005). The management of LTC’s has been implemented due to the increase in the ageing population which in turn produces an increase in the incidence of LTC’s such as diabetes, Parkinson Disease [PD], pernicious anaemia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, neurological and heart conditions. Due to word restriction the author will discuss diabetes and Parkinson’s disease. Diabetes is a lifelong condition that causes a person’s blood sugar to become too high or

Ecteinascidia venui was collected from the hull of ships during dry docking in the month of May 2013. Epibionts and particles of shell, coral fragments attached to the colony were carefully removed. Identification up to the species level was carried out based on the key to identification of Indian ascidians 45. A voucher specimen AS 2247 has been submitted in the ascidian collections of the Museum of the Department of Zoology, A. P. C. Mahalaxmi College for Women, Tuticorin - 628002, Tamilnadu,

The perinatal adversities seen in women with LMW highlights a nutritional or constitutional mechanism of these complications. The data by Ehrenberg et.al (2003) suggests that “the contribution of maternal weight gain in pregnancy is a predominant influence among complications such as prematurity, preterm labor, and LBW”. Weight gained in pregnancy can be considered a crucial predictor of adverse outcomes than weight or BMI at delivery (Ehrenberg et.al 2003). Inadequate GWG in pregnancy may bring

When most of us use cosmetics, or pickup a prescription from our local CVS, we very rarely consider how many animals’ lives were taken away and sacrificed to ensure product quality. As the topic is discussed widely between animal rights activists and the groups pro-animal testing, many people argue that the benefits of medical research outweigh the pain and suffering of animals. As I explored the perspectives of these groups, the pro and con lists widely ranged on beliefs, cultures, and ideas. Many

Leukaemia What is cancer? Cancer occurs when in the body abnormal cells starts growing rapidly and gets out-of-control. Usually, normal cells grow, divide into more cells and die in the end. When people are at their early ages of life, the normal cells divides more quickly until we start growing into adults. Later, the cells in most parts of the body splits only when a replacement is needed to the worn-out or dying cells and or to repair injuries. Cancer cells are different from normal cells,

Crohn’s Disease Pathophysiology Crohn’s is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease where the aetiology is unknown (Bullock & Hales, 2013, p. 823). Inflammation commonly occurs in the terminal ileum, jejunum and large bowel but can be present anywhere in the digestive tract from mouth to anus (Chang & Johnson, 2014, p. 447). CD disrupts all four layers of the intestine: Epithelium, subepithelium, muscularis and serosa (Bullock & Hales, 2013, p. 825). Inflammation triggers ulcers to develop in the epithelium
