states he will get on track and go to the gym. He will start taking the metformin as prescribed. He will continue his Lantus. He does state he will start his NovoLog sliding scale and a prescription for this was given. We will plan on rechecking hemoglobin A1C and urine for microalbuminuria in three months time. I did discuss that he has no showed many appointments and I really need to have him start coming on a more consistent basis‚ every three months until we are sure that his diabetes is controlled

Blood Disorders HCA/240 – Health & Diseases Blood Disorders Blood disorders come in all types and forms. There are some disorders that are genetic and there are those disorders that are developed even before one is born. The blood disorders that exist today are very important to understand them and how to treat them. It is first important to know the signs‚ symptoms and type of treatments to administer. It is also very important to know your family history‚ because those disorders

Observations: When Malaria is present and infects red blood cells‚ parasites can infect cells carrying defective hemoglobin which may result in death. Allele frequency changes over time depending on the pressures or circumstances facing a particular population. African populations are especially impacted by both malaria and sickle cell anemia. Depending on the impacted population‚ allele frequency often shifts and well suited organisms are likely to survive and allele frequencies can increase

How does my cultural background affect my health/ longevity.) (What diseases am I susceptible to?) When I first started doing research‚ I decided I would break this paper up by my different backgrounds. I am Irish‚ English‚ French‚ Dutch‚ Japanese‚ and Native American. I’ll start with Irish. I searched‚ and searched‚ until I found a disease called Hemochromatosis. Also known as “The Celtic Curse‚” “85% of all peoples of Irish descent have Hemochromatosis.” (Dougher‚ "Irish in the Blood") This

Biology Assignment (Haemoglobin) Proteins are large‚ complex molecules that are made up of hundreds or thousands of smaller units called amino acids‚ which are attached to one another in long chains. There are 20 different types of amino acids that can be combined to make a protein. The sequence of amino acids determines each proteins unique structure and specific function. They play many critical roles in the cells. They can be grouped as enzymes‚ antibodies‚ messengers‚ structural components or

Chromosome 11 is one of the 23 pairs of chromosomes in humans. People normally have two copies of this chromosome. Chromosome 11 spans about 134 million base pairs (the building material of DNA) and represents between 4 and 4.5 percent of the total DNA in cells. Identifying genes on each chromosome is an active area of genetic research. Chromosome 11 likely contains between 1‚300 and 1‚700 genes. Genes on chromosome 11 are among the estimated 25‚000 total genes in the human genome. There are many

Chapter 12: Cardiovascular System 12.1 3 types of blood vessels * Arteries: carry blood away from the heart to the capillaries * Capillaries: permit exchange of material with the tissues * Veins: return blood from the capillaries to the heart. Arteries Wall has 3 layers * Endothelium: inner layer‚ made up of simple squamous epithelium‚ with a connective tissue basement membrane that has elastic fibers. * Middle layer: thickest later and consists of smooth muscle that can

Ticks constitute the Suborder Ixodida‚ of the acarine Order Parasitiformes‚ and are exclusively parasitic. The Ixodida contain three families‚ the Ixodidae ‚ Argasidae ‚ and Nuttalliellidae. The specimens collected in our data are of the Amblyomma genus falling under the Ixodidae family. (Horak et al.‚ 2002). Amblyomma life cycle includes four stages: the egg‚ larva‚ nymph with only one nymphal instar‚ and adult. All ticks feed on blood during some or all stages in their lifetime because they are
