Outline and Evaluate research into the relationship between the immune system and stress related illness (12 marks) Cohen aimed to study the relationship between stress and the immune system. To do this he took a sample of 394 18-54 year olds from. All pt.s were checked and had to be healthy before taking part in the study. They were medically investigated and had to fill out a questionnaire. The questionnaire was three measures of psychological stress.
Experts are unclear how deep brain stimulation works. (Marks,2010.pg.41) Many people with high depression are considering DBS. What I think about the possible use of brain stimulator implants to achieve control over mental patients is a life changer for those who need a DBS. Two thirds of patients on deep brain stimulation have good outcomes. It is important to note that DBS therapy may demand considerable time and patience before it effects are optimized.
By examining previous information on studies about multiple sclerosis, the author then continued to use the information as building blocks for his research and why it would be important to further study the areas he is inquiring about. The author uses a reference to establish the amount of people living with this phenomenon and then continues to cite information on how the variety of the disease affects different people saying why and how the experiment would be important. An overwhelming majority of the author’s references were older than five years (Approximately 22 of 23). The author did inform the reader about the limitations of the study by stating “candidates for this study were recruited by open recruitment to respect the free will of patients in participating,” while also informing how future studies could be done to help remedy these practices. Overall the study did not use references to as a central point since it was more of a background on how the author would continue to move forward and the literature review of the article was rather
Fragou, S, Chih, CC had similar findings as Jurrian Kamp did in his studies on depression and violence. Some researchers would won’t to corroborate Kamp’s studies on the effects of omeg-3 as a useful remedy to an escalating problem in society. Natural produced and its apart of the food group pyramid, fish its high in protein and low in fat. Kamp based his opionions on the a study done by Bernard Gesch a physiologist out of Oxford University. Chicc, CC also uses a study that he conducted on a 34 year old pregnant female.
1.It cost $35 million for childhood obesity 2.End of the decade it had risen $127 million III. The Health Risk A) Due to natural occurring medical conditions like hypothyroidism syndrome. 1.Hypothyroidism is a condition characterized by abnormal low thyroid hormone production. (medicine net.com) 2.Any child that demonstrates these symptoms of obesity should be seen by a doctor. Conclusion: 1.
(Wilson & Becker & Tinker, 1995) A traumatic memory was defined as stressful event that continues to affect the individual to suffer from PTSD symptoms. The study included 40 female and 40 male participants that were randomly assigned to treatment or delayed treatment condition to one to five licensed therapists trained in EMDR. The procedure proceeded like normal including six phases: preparation, baseline assessment, desensitisation, installation of the positive cognition, body scan and closure. The preparation phases included the participant and therapist to discuss the traumatic event and asked to formulate an image that provided the participant with feeling of calm and safety. During baseline assessment the participant was asked to describe the trauma, visualize a picture of it, think of a negative cognition, the emotions, the physical sensation and rate their distress using the SUD scale, while the therapist engaged the participant in eye movements.
Explain the pathophysiology underlying the patient’s abnormal ESR. With an underactive thyroid the patient would have an abnormal T3 and T4 count. These are the hormones secreted by the thyroid. Her fasting Glucose level was high as well. This could be due to a poor diet which would also explain the weight gain.
Too much fat in a person’s diet can also cause disease when over consumed. Too many carbohydrates can lead to obesity and an increase in calories. Just as much as too many macronutrients is not good for a person too little has its effects too. If a person continually eats too little protein he or she can become susceptible to disease, it can cause a person to develop anemia, dry skin can develop and in women their bones can become brittle. If a person does not have enough carbs in his or her diet, he or she lacks needed calories that is also known as malnutrition.
This is measured in terms of the impact of being absent (absenteeism) from work or being less productive at work that a healthy person (presenteeism), and loss of productivity due to premature mortality caused by obesity. The indirect costs are associated with productivity losses (both absenteeism and presenteeism) and premature mortality is estimated to be $6.4 billion in 2008/2009. In addition to the costs of obesity related to healthcare, productivity and premature death, the burden of disease costs associated with obesity were estimated to be approximately $30 billion in 2008/2009. Notably, this is significantly larger than the other costs presented above and are important to consider, as this estimate captures not only the financial but also the social costs of obesity. Absenteeism was found to be 14 percent higher is obese employees compared with normal-weight employees in the working population.
And it is not surprising that childhood obesity is a good indicator for the likelihood of obesity into adulthood. What is surprising, however, as Galvez (2003) points out, is that "studies on obesity consistently report a higher prevalence of obesity in African Americans and Mexican Americans compared with the white, non-Hispanic population" (p. A684). The etiology of childhood overweight is multifaceted, but is seemingly always tied to socioeconomic factors. Poor nutritional choices and a sedentary lifestyle cause obesity, but it is societal stressors that lead to these inadequate choices. Such stressors include increased exposure to television advertisements for unhealthy foods, unsafe neighborhoods which inhibit outdoor play and exercise, and limited availability of healthy, fresh foods in low socioeconomic residential areas (Galvez 2003).
