However‚ there are many more preventative measures a nurse can teach parents of infants in order to save more lives. This article‚ “SIDS prevention: 3000 lives saved but we can do better‚” suggests the following areas to educate parents on: keep the environment smoke free‚ do not co-sleep with the infant‚ do not place stuffed animals in the crib‚ do not cover the infant’s head with blankets

double bonds are said to be unsaturated and have a lower melting point than fatty acids with no double bonds. 8. Amino acids are amphoteric‚ acting as both an acid and a base through condensation of two amino acids they from dipeptides 9. The primary structure of a protein is the sequence of its amino acids. Further structures are controlled by the formation of weal hydrogen bonds and disulphide bridges between amino acids 10. In chromatography ‚ the amino acids can be identified by calculatoing

Diabetes Diabetes is a condition where the pancreas secretes an insufficient supply of insulin or the body does not use the insulin efficiently. Normally‚ when the pancreas produces the right amount of insulin to accommodate the quantity of sugar. However‚ when the person has diabetes‚ either the pancreas produces little or no insulin or the cells do not respond normally to the insulin.

So people with Type 1 diabetes can’t make their own insulin. Type 1 diabetes is what is known as a ’complex trait’‚ which means that mutations in several genes likely contribute to the disease. For example‚ it is now known that the insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (AiM1) locus on chromosome 6 may harbor at least one susceptibility

was for developing diabetes. With diabetes‚ there are two different types‚ Type 1 and Type 2. The health risk assessment I took was for Type 2 diabetes. Diabetes is where the level of sugar or glucose in the blood is abnormally high. Also the level of insulin can be low‚ normal‚ or high. The problem with this is that the body does not respond properly to the insulin; the body becomes partially resistant to the effects of insulin. Insulin resistance develops in type 2 diabetes long before the blood
