be scheduled by the patient within 5 years of the onset of type 1 diabetes and at the time of diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. Yearly screenings should be completed thereafter. Testing for excretion of albumin is used for the screening of diabetic nephropathy. Microalbuminuria‚ or small amounts of albumin in the urine‚ is the earliest manifestation of nephropathy. Annual testing for 5 years for patients is recommended for patients who have had type 1 and for everyone with type 2. (Ignatavicius & Workman

(HBA1C) which looks at one’s level of glucose over the past three months. In addition‚ an albumin and pre-albumin level should be obtained to look at the amount of protein in your body. If levels such as glucose or white blood cells are high healing will be delayed. On the other hand‚ if one’s hemoglobin and hematocrit are low‚ the wound may not receive the oxygen rich blood it needs. If the pre/albumin is low the protein needed to promote wound healing is not available (Ahmed‚ 2016). Corrective

Transgenic plants for the production of edible vaccines and antibodies for immunotherapy Vaccines and antibodies play a key role in healthcare. However‚ the cost of production and maintaining a chain for vaccine distribution has so far hampered realizing their full potential. Expression of antigens as vaccines‚ and of antibodies against antigens of pathogens in transgenic plants is a convenient and inexpensive source for these immunotherapeutic molecules. Various antigens and antibodies have already
