Introduction to Diabetes Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by high blood sugar (glucose) levels that result from defects in insulin secretion‚ or its action‚ or both. Diabetes mellitus‚ commonly referred to as diabetes was first identified as a disease associated with "sweet urine‚" and excessive muscle loss in the ancient world. Elevated levels of blood glucose (hyperglycemia) lead to spillage of glucose into the urine‚ hence the term sweet urine. Normally‚ blood

Risk Factors for Cardiovascular Disease Large scale studies have been undertaken to find the risk factors for many common diseases‚ including CVD. Epidemiologists (scientists who study patterns in the occurrence of disease) look for correlations between a disease and specific risk factors. Two commonly used designs for this type of study are; • Cohort studies- a group of people are followed over time to see who develops a disease • Case control studies- a group of people who have the disease

number of challenges‚ which should have been easy to solve. These are some facts: One billion people lack access to health care systems. • Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the number one group of conditions causing death globally. An estimated 17.5 million people died from CVDs in 2005‚ representing 30% of all global deaths. Over 80% of CVD deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries. • Over 8 million children under the age of 5 die from malnutrition and mostly preventable diseases‚ each year

I have selected the photograph of the cigarette. Smoking is when you inhale burnt dried leaves of tobacco that has been rolled onto a piece of paper forming a cylindrical shape. People smoke everywhere; in their houses‚ at the bus stop‚ coffee shops and sometimes on the corner of the street where you work. Active smoking has been known to cause familiar diseases like lung cancer‚ heart problems‚ respiratory issues and more. What people generally don’t see is that it not only affects the person smoking

that cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in UK and is responsible for approximately 238‚000 deaths annually‚ (39%) of total mortality (Lyratzopoulos‚ 2005). Studies in UK have found that south Asians risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) death is as much as 40% above whites; and have 2-3 fold high incidences of hypertension and diabetes (Mckeighe et al‚ 1988; Cappucio et al‚ 2002) Also‚ the researchers used a face to face interview approach‚ which‚ I think was appropriate since this

chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is a widely used method that produces high-quality SWNTs [1][2][3]. However‚ the high CVD growth temperature (typically 800-1000C) prevents their integration onto a mainstream CMOS platform. Although some low-temperature growth methods have recently been reported [4][5][6]‚ compatibility with foundry CMOS processes still remains a challenge. Here we propose a post-CMOS compatible carbon nanotube growth method that bridges the gap between CVD and CMOS‚ in which microfabrication
