HCG linked to losing weight was discovered by a London physician in the 1950s. The claim states this doctor was treating boys with low testosterone levels using HCG and he noticed that they were losing abnormal fat. He linked HCG to this cause and started using HCG to treat obese patients. HCG can be used to lose weight quickly, at a rate of one to three pounds per day (because of the low caloric count). Due to the lack of nutrients this diet provides and such low calorie intake, this diet can be used for no more than 6 weeks, with a 3 week break in between.
The Cholesterol Race PCSK9 stands for proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin 9. PCSK9 inhibitors are being made to help reduce cholesterol. Scientists are very optimistic that PCSK9 inhibitor drugs can decrease cholesterol, which is one of the major health problems in the United States today. Many people are dying each year because of high cholesterol. Two companies are gaining a lot of ground on coming up with a drug to lower cholesterol without horrible side effects.
“Most emergency physicians assume a runner or a cyclist who gets a little goofy is dehydrayted and needs more water or [sugar}, but in the process you can treat them to death,” says Carl Foster, PhD. “If you leave them alone their kidneys will sort things out (MacReady 1). Dehydration may result rapidly from exercise and sweating because large percentages of fluid are loss during these periods. In the warmest race ever since 1987, the 2004 Boston Marathon had more than 1,100 runners suffering from dehydration, heat ailments, and other medial problems (DeMarco, Smith 1). “By 7 p.m., Newton-Wellesley had treated 72 runners, mainly for dehydration” (DeMarco, Smith 1).
Describe and Evaluate Two Psychological therapies for Schizophrenia in terms of appropriateness and effectiveness (24Marks) One psychological therapy is token economy which comes under Meilieu therapy. Token economy is when patients are rewarded for desirable behavior such as crushing teeth or going to the toilet. Patients are then given tokens for their desirable behavior which can be used to watch TV., have chocolate and crisps etc. research has shown that token economy (with the combination with other interventions) succeeded in the community reintegration of 78% of the clients within an average period of 110 days, after more than 7 years of uninterrupted hospital stay. Proving that token economy can produce significant improvements in self-care and desirable behavior; even with chronic institutionalized schizophrenics.
His last hemoglobin A1C was 6.1 %. Recent blood work showed she has hyperlipidemia LDL 169 mg/dL and triglycerides of 211 mg/dL. Because the results of his blood work, her doctor recently started him on Zocar. The patient states that he does smoke at least a half a pack a day and is trying to quit. On examination, the right lower leg is cooler to the touch in comparison to the left leg.
Rats deficient in vitamin A had little chance of survival when inoculated with whopping cough germs, while those receiving adequate amounts of the vitamin, found in cod liver oil, recovered from the disease. In the late 1940s, streptomycin and aureomycin became the cures of choice. Streptomycin was first reported to be effective against whooping cough in Buffalo. Doctors even reported that if the treatment was given to the child before they began to whoop, roughly ten days after the beginning of the disease, the disease could be controlled. Aureomycin was discovered to be successful in defeating the disease once the disease was resistant to streptomycin.
Obesity itself cannot solely be blamed on the high consumption of soda or sugary-drinks, but there is a strong correlation between the two. Boston Children’s Hospital preformed a study with 224 overweight, or obese, high school students. Half of the recipients received free home deliveries of zero-calorie drinks along with water; others received a fifty dollar gift card. According to this study, “after one year, the gift card recipients had gained more weight than those who got the calorie-free drinks” (“Getting Fat on Sugary-Drinks” 8). The evidence provided in this study concludes that soda can be a leading factor in obesity rates, and that water or lower-calorie drinks can help prevent obesity.
While your body is busy fighting off the flu, you may be less able to resist a second infection. Most people who get the flu get better within a week (although they may have a lingering cough and tire easily for a while longer) Deaths from Flu: 63,730 annual deaths for influenza and pneumonia (NVSR Sep 2001); estimated 20,000 deaths from flu (NIAID) Cause of death rank: 7th leading cause of death in 1999 and 2000 is "pneumonia/influenza" (CDC) Treatments - Getting plenty of rest - Drinking clear fluids like water, broth, sports drinks, or electrolyte beverages to prevent becoming dehydrated - Placing a cool, damp washcloth on your forehead, arms, and legs to reduce discomfort associated with a fever - Putting a humidifier in your room to make breathing easier - Gargling salt water (1:1 ratio warm water to salt) to soothe a sore throat - Covering up with a warm blanket to calm chills If symptoms grow worse antiviral medications can be used and the worsening of the symptoms in most cases warrants a trip to the doctor. Prevention - Wash your hands often with soap and water or an alcohol-based hand
Busy like a mall on Christmas week, I continually placed people in their beds and wondered to myself, why aren't they spending their day at the beach on this gorgeous summer day? Clearly fifteen-twenty minutes in a tanning bed is much more convenient then a whole day outside. Fake-bake was the way to go in 2007 despite the skin cancer warning because it was believed that tanning indoor or outdoor had just the same percentage of receiving cancer. Until four years later when science won the government over the once popular business of indoor tanning. Soon the tanning business would decrease as the government put a federal tax and raised the age limit so high as an awareness to those that indoor tanning is indeed health risky.
