    Cantaloupe Description

    At first glance, the cantaloupe looks round and light grayish-tan, with a hint of green. From afar it looks round and plain, about the size of a peewee soccer ball. On approach, the circular shape is less perfect with subtle dents and bumps all around. Surrounding the sphere shaped fruit are light tan lines like a dense city map with all the streets intertwining and curving around without any significant pattern, not geometric like gridlines. On the surface, there are small matchbook sized patches color the skin, some more yellow and other patches that are darker green. A particular indention looks like the fruit might have laid on a rock on the ground while it was growing. One end, where the flower might have once been, is the palest of yellow circles. On the opposite edge, the stubby vestige of a stem remains. This dried up nub is the brown and shriveled, slightly indented from the rest of the globe. Surrounding the stem is a dark circle of hunter green.…

    Diabetes is an epidemic disorder. Number of diabetes patients has increased very rapidly. Personally, I chose this topic because my major is Pharmacy. The other reason behind the selection of this topic is that there are millions of people in the world who are suffering from diabetes. The total number of diabetes patients in 2006 were 246 million and it is expected to reach up to 380 million in 2025 (Business Service Industry, 2007). There is not a single medicine or vaccine that can completely cure the diabetes. However, the insulin injections and other oral medicines are available in the market, but they are very expensive and they can maintain the blood glucose level temporarily. I notice that bitter melon has the same activity as insulin. I am going to do my research on diabetes in the future. I chose this topic for the research paper because this information might be very helpful to me in the future. Gestational diabetes is one type of diabetes which is diagnosed during the pregnancy. Hypoglycemia means a low blood sugar level. “Birth trauma” is a physical injury to the infants due to the mechanical forces during the pregnancy.
