    Patients with diabetes need to understand what diabetes is. Patients who understand what diabetes is and the complicated process associated with the disease are more likely to comply with the prescribed regimen. Diabetes Mellitus is a syndrome with disordered metabolism and inappropriate hyperglycemia due to either a deficiency of insulin secretion or to a combination of insulin resistance and inadequate insulin secretion to compensate (Davis, 2001). Diabetes is a chronic progressive disease that requires lifestyle changes, especially in the areas of nutrition and physical activity. The overall goal of medical and nutritional therapy is to assist persons with diabetes in making self-directed behavioral changes that will improve their overall health (Franz, 2012). Blood glucose monitoring and goals of blood glucose monitoring…

    Insulin pumps send insulin through a small catheter continuously in small doses. This is places in a subcutaneous area and stays there for 2 or 3 days. The insulin pump is usually placed in the abdomen area or the buttocks. When it’s time for meals or snacks the patient can push a button which sends a bolus of insulin. This method is for patients who wants to have good control of the glucose levels and have a flexible lifestyle.…

    All forms of medications for diabetics are to avoid or minimize chronic diabetic complications occur by hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia. The most common medication is hypoglycemic treatment either oral hypoglycemic or insulin therapy (Goswami et al.,2014).

    Fetal Microchimerism

    • 123 Words
    • 1 Page

    The transfer of fetal cells into the maternal circulation starts at early stages of pregnancy and there can be long lasting effects. Fetal cells can be located in the maternal blood circulation and in maternal tissues during and after pregnancy, they can persist as microchimeric cells for decades in multiple organs. Whilst fetal microchimerism was initially implicated in autoimmune disease and disorders, over the years reports found fetal cells in healthy tissues and in parous women with non-autoimmune diseases. Recent research suggest instead that fetal microchimerism can play an important role in the response to tissue injury and regeneration. In this article, it's identified and discussed a timeline of key events and scientific breakthroughs…

    In the likelihood that Sanofi-Aventis focuses future M&A activity on smaller scale acquisitions, it stands to reason that the company is less likely to enter into another mega-merger in the short to medium term, thereby avoiding a raft of large scale M&A activity that could continue over the next 18-24 months. Cost containment, as opposed to the symbiotic relationship between two diverse portfolios/R&D pipelines, is integral to mega-mergers.…

    Diabetes is a disease that affects 25.8 million people in the United States alone, not to mention the 7.0 million people who are undiagnosed and the staggering 79 million people who are pre-diabetic (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2011). That number alone should send out an alarm that a cure is needed. Not just a treatment, but a real cure that will free sufferers from the strict diets, oral medications and insulin injections, as well as prevent the serious complications of the disease that is now taking our country by storm. With this many people affected, or potentially affected, our country’s healthcare resources will be crippled by the long term complications diabetes causes. A possible, albeit controversial, cure for diabetes could come from stem cell research.…

    Over the centuries, medicine has evolved by leaps and bounds. In the 1600’s a cure for smallpox and measles was born. In the early 1900’s, penicillin was discovered. Now we are in a new era of evolving medical technology that aims not only to find cures for diseases, but find new, innovative ways to use technology to enhance and improve the way medical procedures are carried out. Advancements in this field of engineering and technology can help make more medical advancements that may prove to be beneficial and more precise than current or previous technology. Two such advancements in technology have lead us to create machines or robots that are capable to performing surgical procedures, and administering the appropriate amount of anesthetic to patients.…

    Type-one diabetes is a severe disease that currently affects around 34.7million people worldwide. It is an auto-immune disease where the body’s immune system attacks the beta cells in the pancreas, these cells are the ones who produce the hormone; insulin. Insulin controls the special carrier proteins on a cells membrane and controls the amount of glucose that passes into the cell; this is responsible for your blood sugar level. Type-one diabetes is “characterized by deficient insulin production and requires daily administration of insulin” by the World Health Organization (WHO).…
