The Case is Altered

Case Study 1: Concepts of Altered Health in Older Adults In the presented case, JP is an 82-year-old male, living at home, in overall good health, and relatively active for his age. JP also regularly consumes fruit juice during his routine walks. This analysis uses this case as a platform for exploring how the aging process affects patient health and risks, thus touching on fall risks, blood pressure (BP) regulation, and renal function as a starting point for this evidence-based examination. Physiological

Maple Syrup Urine Disease is a potently fatal disorder which affects the body’s ability of breaking down three Branched chain amino acids: isoleucine, leucine and valine. The inability of breaking down the three-branched amino acid chain is due to defect in an enzyme called branched chain alpha ketoacid dehydrogenase. Which is the enzyme responsible for breaking down isoleucine, leucine and valine. This will result in high levels of the branched amino acids in plasma and alpha ketoacid in urine.

modification that occurs in one specific gene. An autosomal dominant defect occurs when there is an altered gene and a healthy gene that are inherited. An example of this type of defect would be Huntington’s disease, an individual only needs one copy of this defective gene on chromosome four to have the disorder. Autosomal recessive defect, is another type of single gene disorders that occurs when there is two altered variations of

Altered Wheat’s Impact on Health and the U. S. Healthcare System There is an epidemic of type II diabetes and heart disease in the U.
