disease to you and then explain your risk for each. After I finish explaining them all, I will be sure to tell you how working out and exercising will help with each of these. The first of these diseases is metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome isn’t an actual disorder; most often metabolic syndrome is diagnosed to help determine a
[Introduction] All human beings share the innate liking of sweetness since we experience from mother’s milk. Now, sugar and sugar rich foods are the most popular and worldwide consuming (McGee 645). High-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) was introduced to the food and beverage industry as a substitution to sucrose because of its higher degree of sweetness and the decreasing use of sugar supply during World War II (White). Over a half century, scientists still dispute the safety of HFCS to health. Some studies
The Pathophysiology Behind PCOS: Inflammation A Literature Review Alexandra Bailin Abstract, REFS Purpose of review Recent findings Summary Introduction Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder among reproductive aged women, with a prevalence of 16.6-18% according to the 2003 Rotterdam criteria (1-3). Though PCOS is extremely common, up to 70% of women with the syndrome are undiagnosed (3). The PCOS diagnosis is one of ovarian dysfunction and hyperandrogenism, and
can also be obtained to see if calcium oxalate crystals are present to confirm diagnosis of ethylene glycol ingestion. I could also request for a blood lactate to rule out lactic acidosis which could be explained by the decrease in bicarbonate and metabolic
Nutrition-Metabolic Pattern: Subjective V.S said that she has a “good appetite, but could follow a more nutrient rich diet.” During a 24 hour diet recall, she described a normal breakfast as toast and coffee, and supper as a sandwich or pasta. She doesn’t eat lunch normally, but admitted to “chronic snacking, and a sweet tooth”. Her typical fluid intake is 16 ounces of water, and two cups of coffee. She denied any changes in appetite, and doesn’t have pain with chewing/ swallowing, or any diet
evidence for participation in health promotion lifestyle behaviors and better heart health related outcomes. Health promotion literature, in general, provides evidence for health promoting lifestyle measures leading to better cardiovascular and metabolic outcomes.42,68–70,71 Research shows that illness cognition and recognition of risks associated with heart disease in general can influence changes in lifestyle related behaviors.72,73 South Asian and European participants in a U.K. based study on
Sugar Scare High fructose corn syrup is a corn starch that has been processed to make most of its glucose into fructose, thus making it a glucose-fructose compound. It helps contribute to a lot of today’s health problems. High fructose corn syrup’s fructose is metabolized in the liver. This leads to fat storage in the liver which may eventually cause non-alcoholic liver disease and many more health problems. Without even noticing it, high fructose corn syrup is in a lot of the average American’s
The TZDs seem to also have advantages of prevention of cardiovascular complications of the metabolic syndrome. They have effects on the following aspects of the metabolic syndrome: • Lowering blood pressure • Decreasing lipid abnormalities(diabetic dyslipidemia) • Reducing inflammatory mediators(like C reactive protein, matrix metalloproteinase -9, leukocyte counts) • Improving pro-coagulant
Methotrexate (MTX), is an antifolate drug that was first developed to treat certain types of cancer. The use in cancer therapy is at higher doses whereas its use in rheumatic diseases is at much lower doses. It was found that the addition of a maintenance therapy following remission comprising of 6 mercaptopurine daily along with methotrexate weekly resulted in higher chances of remission. As per the current ALL protocols, induction and consolidation therapy is followed by oral 6 MP/ methotrexate

These findings are similar with that of Stanhope & Havel20 who showed that “fructose rich diet induced the development of phathophysiological characteristics associated with metabolic syndrome”. “The high fructose flux leads to enhanced accumulation of hepatic triglycerides and resulting in impairment of glucose and lipid metabolism”21 .
