Response to Emily             There are other types of addictions apart from alcohol or drugs. These are sex, shopping, lying, and technology habits. I agree with the statement that; shopping addictions lead to more devastating outcomes. Many people link shopping addictions to hoarding issues which for sure go hand in hand. Shopping addictions indeed contribute to social isolation, family discord, health problems, and financial matters. I agree that most of these addictions do require family support and therapy to get rid of them (Jee & Eun, 2018). Family helps one to overcome a breakup or a particular habit. From your statement that cutting the credit cards will assist in getting over shopping addiction, I would instead consider not cutting them with the main aim of teaching self-control. I support the point of giving the finances to a trustworthy person to handle them because it limits the cases of overspending. Sex is another type of addiction. I support that, individuals with sex addictions go outside their marriages to fulfill their desires and in turn, have affairs which eventually ruins their marriage,…

Childhood Development Compare and contrast physical growth in early and middle childhood? In early childhood (2-6 years), children undergo developments in brain, motor and health. There is growth in height and weight at this stage. Also, children develop both fine and gross motor skills, such as writing or drawing. They also become healthier with a bit more medical complications.  In middle childhood (7-11 years), physical changes in children make them more athletic. Bones and muscles become broader; girls are smaller than boys are. Brain and nervous system continue to develop at this stage. There is a refinement in motor skills in middle childhood. Children begin to love jumping, leaping, climbing or catching and can play games like baseball, karate or gymnastics. Besides, there is less frequency of early childhood diseases as children become even healthier. However, they are at risk of other complications such as child obesity and ADHD. Self-reflection: What are your views on why ADHD diagnoses and rates of childhood obesity have increased? What are the solutions? ADHD is a risk factor for child obesity. The level of…

Debunking of how cardio helps in burning fat faster? Cardio means the physical exercise that is used to burn fats and loses weight by indulging in physical activities and training, which increases the heart beating rate. These physical activities and exercises are also called aerobic exercises (Karimipour, 2020). When we hear the word cardio thing comes into mind is sweat dripping while exercising from your forehead. Cardiovascular exercise is also known as aerobic exercise, which also means aerobic exercise. Aerobic exercise means you are involved in an oxygen exercise. There is a common perception that cardio helps weight loss because when people engage in cardiovascular activity, they experience sweating. People believe that cardio is essential to burning fat, but it is not right so far. Cardio does not help your weight loss as fast as you think or hear from people. Traditional views on cardio exercise state that strong long-run with an empty stomach helps lose weight. I would back this argument with research that LISS exercise is less useful to lose weight, and it affects proper muscle growth because of…

A critical review of “stop and search” by police as contained in Section 60 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994   Police are expected to protect the civilians from harm through the use of the power given to them by the government when they are attending their duty of Stop and search. The activity raised riots in August 2011 in Brixton because the police treated citizens in an uncivilized way. The main objective of this activity is to make sure the criminals are arrested before they commit the intended crime. The government gives police the powers to search people in a place within a given period if they suspect the safety of people and their properties are threatened. But most the searches are not successful since the way the police misuse the power they are given, and this creates the differences between the public and the constable. Police practice the stop and search activities unfairly since they stop some group for a search and leave the other group; this is led to discrimination. Search is done to…

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Description of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is an inflammatory disorder instigated by compression of the median sensory nerve as it passes deeper to the flexor retinaculum via the wrist in the carpal tunnel.

It is attributed to the presence of both motor and sensory presenting features in the peripheral distribution of the nerve resulting in numbness, pain, wrist tingling in hand, and fingers. The little finger (5th digit) is, however, not affected. Nerves and Structures Involved in the Injury Carpal Tunnel Syndrome develops from the pressured triggered on the median nerve, which is a fiber-filled structure that sends impulses from sensory nerve forth and back between the spinal cord and the hand through the wrist joint (Newington, Harris, & Walker-Bone 2015). The carpal tunnel is a tiny track enclosed by the bones in carpal. The palm side of the wrist, a tight fibrous tissue band,…

Diabetes Mellitus Case Study Pathophysiology Diabetes mellitus is a common condition of the endocrine system responsible for delivering insulin to body cells. Type 1 diabetes mellitus develops due to the absence of insulin in the blood due to inadequate insulin production in the pancreatic beta cells. Insulin, an anabolic hormone, regulates glucose in the blood, allowing its uptake into muscle and adipose tissue. Mineral metabolism, protein synthesis, and lipid breakdown all depend on the action of this crucial hormone, which also regulates the formation of fats and glycogen (Lucier & Weinstock, 2018). The development of the condition begins when patients are mostly healthy and progresses via an asymptomatic stage when the patient’s body is yet to respond to the insulin deficit already present. With time, the patient develops diabetic ketoacidosis due to reduced amounts of insulin. Diabetes type 1 is also associated with altered adrenal and thyroid function. Glycemic control reverses these effects; however, it is challenging to correct endocrine function even with rigorous insulin therapy. Through affecting the release of pituitary thyrotropin and hypothalamic thyrotropin, diabetes affects the thyroid…
