Diabetes Many have known that Diabetes is one of the most common chronic diseases in children and adolescents. In the whole United States‚ there are about 16 million adults who have diabetes and a third of them are undiagnosed (CDC). In East Harlem‚ New York however‚ the rates of complications and mortality is up to 5 times in an underprivileged community compared to the overall residents in New York City. There are 125‚000 residents living in East Harlem‚ 50% are Latino‚ 40% African-American

In accordance with the American Diabetes Association guidelines (ADA)‚ a systematic and comprehensive evaluation must be conducted to determine which therapy or medical intervention has not been successful in managing the patient’s primary chief complaints. Furthermore‚ the medical evaluation must address whether the patient is currently receiving the most effect drug regimen available to minimize adverse drug-drug interactions. Once treatment problems are identified‚ proper resolutions must be discussed

Potential Energy Potential Energy is a type of energy that does not involve motion. It is the energy that is stored up. The more work done to change an object’s position or shape‚ the more potential energy it has. For example‚ a person on a ladder has more potential energy than a person on the ground because they have done more work to get up there. Kinetic Energy Kinetic Energy is the energy of motion. The more work an object has done‚ the more kinetic energy it has. the amount of kinetic

examples of work done=force x distance What is work? Work in physics is the transfer of energy; work is done on an object when an applied force moves it through a distance. The link between work and energy is work done equals energy transferred. The units for the two are also the same (joules). E.g. 500J of work = 500J of kinetic energy. Work is calculated with the formula: work done=force x distance moved For example‚ if a force of 10 newton (F = 10 N) acts along point that travels 2 meters
