Several researches investigated the benefits of knowing the genomic sequence and how it is associated with the risk of certain disease. There are several arguments contrary to genomic research and some are supporting it. For instance The Director of Cancer genetics center at Johns Hopkins university says “it may become one important determination in patient care, but certainly not the only one” [source]. Several studies doubts that genomic research providing any extra information about the possibility

Hyperlipidemia affects nearly 30% of Americans (CDC, 2012). Hyperlipidemia may be better known as high cholesterol. Cholesterol is a fatty wax-like substance that is naturally produced in the body (NLM, 2013). People with high cholesterol may never even know they have the condition. But when they become aware, they have to make immediate changes in relation to adhering to specific diets, exercising regularly, and undergoing prescribed treatment or alternative therapies. Incorporating more fruits

Diastolic dysfunction is observed in 40-60% of diabetics with heart failure, this occur through a pathological processes that cause stiffening of the myocardium due to cross-linking and extracellular matrix deposition, hypertrophy, and neuronal abnormalities (Rakowski et al., 1996), (Zile & Brutsaert 2002), (Laing et al., 2003), (Drury et al., 2011), (Forbes & Cooper 2013). Many factors play a role in development of CVD in diabetes as dyslipidemia, poor glycemic control that cause direct damage

The heart is one of the body’s most vital organ, it pumps blood throughout the body specifically organs and tissues that need oxygen and nutrients that the heart carries. It also helps to remove waste products we do not need. If the heart does not work properly multiple organs would not be able to function. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States for both men and women. Cardiovascular disease affects more than 1 in 3 adults in the United States. The most common type of heart

Physiology Assignment 1 – Client report. This set of particular tests were carried out at Manchester Metropolitan University in the Interdisciplinary Laboratory. Prior to the tests that were going to be carried out the client in question was asked to carry out a Pre-Test Medical questionnaire to assess the risks involved and to see if the client would be able to participate in the tests. The tests that were performed on the client were height, weight, haemoglobin, cholesterol, FEV1 and FVC. Table

LDL is low-density lipoprotein cholesterol is an evil and a source of disease. While HDL is high-density lipoprotein cholesterol which is good . Type of exercise is recommended to reduce cholesterol aerobic gymnastics, swimming, running, cycling, and walking. It is to move the muscles in the body are often buried

Mr. Browns Dilemma Mona Sweetwine-Rodriguez SC-121- Human Anatomy and Physiology I November 24, 2015 Professor Catherine Rice Mr. Browns Dilemma Good Morning Mr. Brown, my name is Mona and I am a physician’s assistant. Thank you for coming in to meet with me today. Today I’ll be going over your recent lab work along with the results. The last time you were in to see the doctor he ordered testing for you that is known as a lipid panel or a cholesterol panel. A lipid panel is done to measure four

Dyslipidemia is characterized by increased total cholesterol levels, low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol levels (LDL-C), triglyceride levels (TG), and low high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol levels (HDL-C) (1). Most of the cholesterols in the body (60-70%) are transported to liver cells in the form of LDL-C through direct interaction with specific LDL receptors (1). Dietary intake of foods that are high in cholesterol and saturated fats (such as egg yolk, butter, fast food) activates a feedback

Introduction Within the last ten years, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has begun to measure and collect data on gender-neutral health screenings to determine if there were any gender specific health disparities among the veteran population. The findings of the study showed some significant disparities between sexes. In an article recently written by Whitehead, Czarnogorski, Wright, Hayes, & Haskell (2014), and published in the American Journal of Public Health, disparities among women

To the Editor, It is quite noticeable that obesity rates in the United States are continually rising. When a person is obese, they have an increase risk to diseases such as type-2 diabetes, heart disease, various cancers, etc. (Haslam & James 2005). There are countless studies conducted to see the possible effects obesity can cause to an individual. One study concluded, if two obese individuals have a child, that child has a high percentage of being obese as well (Kolata 2007). Although there are
