Hypertension Hypertension is one of the most common worldwide diseases afflicting humans. Because of the associated morbidity and mortality and the cost to society‚ hypertension is an important public health challenge. Over the past several decades‚ extensive research‚ widespread patient education‚ and a concerted effort on the part of health care professionals have led to decreased mortality and morbidity rates from the multiple organ damage arising from years of untreated hypertension.

It is known that two main naturalists were responsible for discovering and founding this classification method‚ John Ray and Carl Linnaeus. Biological Taxonomy has a hierarchy of seven main ranks; Kingdom‚ Phylum (Division if it is Botany)‚ Class‚ Order‚ Family‚ Genus and Species. These classify every living thing from Animals to Bacteria. Some of the classification system is written English

· Taxonomy ○ Science of classification ○ Provides an orderly basis for the naming of organisms and for placing organisms into a category (taxon) ○ Makes use of and makes sense of the fundamental concepts of unity and diversity among living things ○ Basic principle is that members of higher-levels groups share fewer characteristics than those in lower-level groups * Escherichia coli - rod shape and have a Gram-negative cell wall * Even members of the same species display variations

How would you develop a realistic plan to help this patient reduce his blood pressure and prevent complications? Primary hypertension affects millions of people in the United States and billions around the world.

These “Harmful Algal Blooms” (HAB’s) or green tides as some call them can produce toxins that can hurt animals and humans alike turn water green and can cover miles of water in a single bloom.

CHAPTER 13 – HYPERTENSION Hypertension also known as high blood pressure or cardiovascular disease (CVD) occurs when the blood travels through the vessels in excess. Cardio output is too high and this puts pressure on the arterial walls or peripheral resistance occurs due to a narrowing of arteries. It is a serious medical problem yet most are not aware they have it due to the lack of symptoms. For this reason‚ it is known as a silent killer. It is a risk factor for other diseases such as heart

term paper is to provide information about the different kinds of algal blooms and their effect on environment and society. There are still a lot that is not known about the algal bloom phenomenon‚ and many different hypotheses have been presented to explain these. Throughout the course of this paper those hypotheses will be presented and discussed‚ allowing the reader to derive their own opinion about the origin of algal blooms and what will happen in the future. table of contents Table

Hypertension Hypertension also known as high blood pressure is a common condition in which the force of the blood against your artery walls is high enough that it may eventually cause health problems‚ such as heart disease. Blood pressure is determined by the amount of blood your heart pumps and the amount of resistance to blood flow in your arteries. The more blood your heart pumps and the narrower your arteries‚ the higher your blood pressure. High blood pressure is the leading cause of stroke
