1. Morbidity Morbidity (from Latin morbidus‚ meaning "sick‚ unhealthy") is a diseased state‚ disability‚ or poor health due to any cause. The term may be used to refer to the existence of any form of disease‚ or to the degree that the health condition affects the patient. Among severely ill patients‚ the level of morbidity is often measured by ICU scoring systems. Comorbidity is the simultaneous presence of two medical conditions‚ such as a person with schizophrenia and substance abuse. In epidemiology

Carbohydrates have two major functions in plants and animals: they serve as fuel and building material. Plants store most of their energy in the form of starch. Starch is a polysaccharide (consisting of several conjoined sugars). Synthesizing starch enables the plant to stockpile surplus glucose‚ and since glucose is a major cellular fuel‚ starch represents stored energy. The sugar can later be withdrawn by hydrolysis‚ which breaks the bonds between monomers. Animals‚ in turn‚ have enzymes that

INTRODUCTION Carbohydrates are also known as sacharides. There are 4 main groups of carbohydrates‚which are monosaccharides‚ disaccharides‚ oligosaccharides and polysaccharides. Carbohydrates play an important role in living organism as it is the energy storage‚ and it also plays

A Proposal to Reduce Mortality and Morbidity In Pennsylvania Motorcyclists XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Submitted XXXX Introduction Currently in the United States there are two groups in the arena of motorcycle safety equipment. One group regards safety equipment as one’s individual rights and freedoms. That group has lobbied state governments since 1976 when congress struck down the national helmet requirement. Many members of that group hold to the “biker” image and fight mandatory safety

Addiction ( EMCDDA) in reference to the relationship between substance use and mental health disorders‚ they define a general level of co-morbidity as “the coexistence of additional diseases and the reference to an initial diagnoses” (Baldacchino and Corkey‚2006). The World Health Organization does not differ much in definition from most other organizational studies but they seem to individualize “mental health” and “substance use” in terms of referring to the co-occurrence of two “psychiatric disorders”

Another word for "fats." Lipids can be more formally defined as substances such as a fat‚ oil or wax that dissolves in alcohol but not in water. Lipids contain carbon‚ hydrogen and oxygen but have far less oxygen proportionally than carbohydrates. They are found in places as diverse as egg yolks and the human nervous system and are important component of plant‚ animal and microbial membranes A fatty or waxy are organic compound that is readily soluble in nonpolar solvent (e.g. ether)
