The subject, Papa Bear, is an Asian-American that is a 5’4” 48-years old male that weighs approximately 240 pounds. He was diagnosed with high cholesterol in August of 2015 and is currently taking atorvastatin. Near end of August, Mr. Bear was in a minor car accident that caused him to have neck and back pain, and is now on metaxalone, cyclobenzaprine, and meloxicam. Not only does he currently have high cholesterol and feeling pains from his neck down to his lower back, for about 40 years Mr. Bear has been prescribed doxycycline monohydrate as well as triamcinolone acetonide for his eczema and skin rash on both of his upper arms, and rosacea on his cheeks. The liver makes lipoproteins to distribute cholesterol in the body as well as to bring…

The study and the advancement in this field is being prioritized for the American obesity crisis. The understanding between emulsions, control of lipid uptake, and its affects physiologically will not only decrease the rate of obesity, but improve the health of everybody. The understanding of how emulsion systems correlate with lipid digestions and metabolism create a trifecta as they all correlate and work together as a cohesive team. Also, the article related gastric and intestinal regions to lipid uptake and metabolism. Continuously throughout the article and understanding of emulsion structure and stability also reveal it’s important to gastrointestinal biophysics.…
Lipocalin-2 (LCN2) is a small secreted adipokine that binds and transports small hydrophobic molecules such as fatty acids and steroids. In addition, LCN2 limits bacterial growth by sequestering iron-containing siderophores. In mammalian liver, LCN2 protects against inflammation, infection, injury and other forms of cellular stress. Because previous work indicated that LCN2 is a key modulator of hepatic fat metabolism and homeostasis, we performed a comparative profiling of the proteins and lipids of wild type (WT) and Lcn2-deficient mice fed either standard chow or a methionine- and choline-deficient (MCD) diet. Label-free proteomics and 2D-DIGE protein expression profiling identified differential expression of BRIT1/MCPH1, FABP5, HMGB1, HBB2, and L-FABP, results confirmed by Western blotting.…
Nora Volkow, MD stands out for laying the groundwork that dopamine is a pivotal player in addiction. She is Director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Her groundbreaking work led to our understanding that addiction is strongly influenced by the release of dopamine in the brain and spinal cord. This “disease model” of addiction is not universally accepted (http://bit.ly/1K3AvnM).…
Carcinoid tumors are one of the neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) that derivate from embryonic neural crestand counting for about 2% of primarylung tumors(12).NEcells derived peptides have importantparacrine regulatory and mitogenic function forbronchial epithelial cells. Exposure to pollutants, hypoxia and cigarettesmoking induce hyperplasia of NE- cells in bronchial and cause mucosa secretion. Pulmonary NETs consist of a group of lesions with incidentalfrom small proliferation of neuroendocrine cells to small cell lungcarcinoma. Carcinoid tumorsinclude neuroendocrine-cell hyperplasia lesions that rarely metastasis. Metastasislesions oftenoccur after lung resection.…
Repair: Repair is one of the primary reasons for fractionation. The smaller dose fractions separated in time allow normal tissue to recover , and normal tissue with intact repair capacity generally has a better ability to repair damage than tumors. Redistribution: Cells in some phases of the cell cycle are more radiosensitive than in other . Dose delivery over time allows for redistribution so that tumor cells in a resistant phase continue to cycle into a more sensitive phase.…
a. The most common solid tumor and most preventable primary neoplasm in children is a brain tumor. The signs and symptoms of brain tumors in children have a varying signs and symptoms. The headache and nausea presented by this 7 year old are common signs of increased intracranial pressure. Other signs of increased intracranial pressure along with headaches are vomiting, irritability, and lethargy. In children with increasing complaints of persistent headaches there must be follow up measures taken because headaches are so uncommon in children.…

These cell membranes are comprised of these elements: these incorporate glycolipids, cholesterol and phospholipids. Phospholipids are the biggest cells in the cell membranes. Phospholipids are comprised of immersed and unsaturated fat, and the parity of these is what is imperative to the working of the body. A huge part of the human body contains fats, and numerous neuro-degenerative sicknesses are lipid, otherwise called fat, related. Subsequently, the equalization of unsaturated, particularly crucial unsaturated fats and immersed lipids is basic to animal and human health (Haber,…

I am a cancer epidemiologist and epidemiology methodologist beginning my second year as a tenure track assistant professor in the department of public health. This purpose of this statement is to provide a brief narrative on my background, accomplishments and goals in the three areas of academic evaluation: teaching, research, and service. I will do this by describing my experience and efforts in four interrelated areas of focus in my career: cancer epidemiology, healthcare delivery, electronic health records, and methods for missing data. Throughout, I reference my published, peer-reviewed literature by the corresponding [line item number] on my CV.…
1) Biomedicine, according to Kinsley, is ontological and mechanical and does not generally subscribe to looking at a patient’s “way of life” for diagnosing disease and illness. Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Why? Illustrate with examples. Kinsley describes ontological as a disease process that is different or separate from the individual’s body (1996:170).…
