HEART DISEASE IN CANADA Start your paper with an introduction, possibly 1-2 paragraphs in length that outlines the purpose and scope of the paper. The main body of the paper is next. This should contain the most current epidemiological data around the rates for heart disease in Canada. Do not get into an explanation of the different types of heart disease as this is not necessary, you already have this information from your previous nursing program. Provide evidence (prevalence and incidence) around where in Canada are the rates highest and who in terms of population groups are most affected by heart disease? Provide epidemiological evidence around what is happening around the trend for heart disease in Canada for the last 10-15 years. [unique_solution]How do the rates in Canada compare to other countries such as the United States of America? In the next section of the paper provide evidence around the community based strategies that are being used to address this health issue, include strategies aimed at all levels of prevention. In this section also address how heart disease is changing…

  Student’s Name Professor’s Name Course Information Date Bill Gates Speech at First Commencement at Harvard It is rather interesting to note how peculiar the speech made at Harvard’s commencement in 2007 was. It was astonishing how a school dropout could return to his former University and give such a persuasive speech. It is established that Bill Gates is the most successful dropout that is globally known for his acumen in business,” Harvard’s most successful dropout”. Bill gates certainly qualify to give such a speech in such a congregation that entails a consortium of academic brains or rather academic giants (Schwarz et al., 69). The Harvard’s commencement speech by Bill Gates was directed to students and is still encouraging students that “humanity’s greatest advances are not in his discoveries- but in how such discoveries are utilized to reduce the inequity.”Bill Gates uses his examples to assert his claims in his speech. The examples he uses in his speech are specific and aimed at reducing the big gap created by the inequity that is ever-widening around the world. He uses an…

  Thomas Szasz’s Views of Psychological Disorders Numerous criticisms were stated by Thomas Szasz regarding the medical model. One of the criticisms will focus on psychiatric interventions that have undergone proliferation following the use of the medical model. This has been highly seen in the interventions practiced to help control the individual suffering from a mental or psychological disorder. My view regarding this particular criticism will be in support of Szasz’s views. The medical model has been regarded by some as highly efficient when it comes to the diagnosis and treatment of an individual suffering from mental disorders. However, the medical model does pose a problem when it comes to the patient. No room will be left for the medical personnel to understand the patient. The medical model will focus more on controlling the patient based on the scientific understanding of how he or she behaves (Weiten, Dunn, & Hammer, 2014). According to Szasz, the medical model will have various implications that will be related to underlying values that will have been kept hidden by some psychiatrists. Szasz managed to…

Describe the anatomy and physiology of the body system. Human anatomy refers to the scientific study of the structures of the body. The two areas of specialization in anatomy are macroscopic and microscopic anatomy. The study of visible, large body structures without the aid of magnification is referred to as macroscopic anatomy. In contrast, microscopic anatomy deals with the observation of small structures with the use of a microscope. It includes cytology, which studies cells and studying of tissues knows as histology. Two approaches are used by anatomists in the study of body structures: systematic anatomy and regional anatomy. Physiology studies how physics and chemistry organizations work together in the body to sustain functions of life such as movement and reproduction. It includes manipulations and measurements, as well as an observation with both the naked eye and the Microscope. Physiology centers in homeostasis, which is the steady internal condition maintained by living things. How is it determined that this body system is healthy? The body system is determined to be healthy through homeostasis. Homeostasis keeps a stable, moderately continuous setting…

 Parkinson’s diseases link with exposure to pesticides Many countries across the world have adopted use of pesticides in agricultural sectors as a way of improving their productivity. Some of the examples of the pesticides that are used for agricultural purposes, both in-home and public spaces, are herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, and organochlorines, among others. Besides public concern over pesticides in many countries like Washington, Canada, and others have stimulated various policies concerning determining and regulating the distribution of some pesticides that are seen toxic to human beings. In contrast, there has been difficulty in determining the safety of these substances.  Many researchers are unable to generalize the results of the studies conducted in the human and animal laboratory. Over the years, the health effects from exposure to pesticides have remained an issue of public concern whereby many researchers have concluded that exposure to pesticides can lead to the neurological disease known as Parkinson while others disagree with this adage.  Therefore this paper tries to look into the use of pesticides in the local community, whether it causes Parkinson’s disease in human…

Signal Transduction Abnormalities in Alzheimer’s Disease The article defines Alzheimer’s Disease as a neurodegenerative disorder with progressive dementia that results due to two significant changes in brain structure, which are intracellular protein deposits NFT (neurofibrillary tangles) and extracellular proteins deposits bounded by dystrophic neurites containing senile plagues. In the article, traits of phenotype changes of cells that are undergoing cell division are portrayed by hippocampal and select cortical neuronal in diseases of Alzheimer’s. The article describes if components that are responsible for triggering cellular proliferation and differentiation, as well as kinase pathway activation, contributes to signal transduction cascade activation in a disease of Alzheimer’s. Also, the article describes the implication of proteins in signal transduction from cell-surface receptors through the pathway of ras. Comparison is made between age-matched controls and the disease of Alzheimer during transduction. It is also depicted that in the article, the author evaluates the degree of alteration of ras pathways and gives suggestions on what might be resulting as well as the role of neuronal signaling. Both causative and consequential events are explored, and disease mechanisms…

Immunodeficiency Disease: Disorders types, symptoms, causes, and treatment Immunodeficiency Disease occurs when the immune system does not function effectively or when a part of the immune system is missing or reduced in a person. When this happens, the person loses his ability to fight against viruses, bacteria, or other parasites and catches infections quickly. Types of Immunodeficiency diseases: Immunodeficiency diseases can be of two types primary and secondary. Primary Immunodeficiency diseases are caused due to genetic reasons when a person is born with the disorder. Some examples are common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) and X- linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA). Secondary Immunodeficiency diseases are those that are acquired and not hereditary. They occur when the immune system is weakened due to reasons, such as chemotherapy, radiation, or diabetes. Some examples of secondary Immunodeficiency diseases are AIDS, viral hepatitis, multiple myeloma. Symptoms of Immunodeficiency diseases: The symptoms vary according to the type of disorder. Some of the common symptoms are: Diarrhea Colds Pneumonia Sinus infections. Causes of Immunodeficiency diseases: The immune system, which comprises white blood cells, defends our body. These cells, manufactured in…

Experiential Essay After completing my high school education, I had the privilege to join my uncle at Sato Cano Air Base for medical readiness training. This idea was an opportunity to learn essential medical and humanitarian services. After four months, I was able to join the team that was working with the communities in the Caribbean and Central America. In the company of other officers, I was able to give essential services to wounded and people with dental problems as they wait for proper attention. The experience had a lot of lessons relating to learned theories. First, the experience taught me to appreciate the level of medical care in the US. Besides, medical readiness makes it possible to offer more valuable service with less bureaucracy. I was able to learn critical services in a short time, which can enable me to make strategic decisions despite not being a medical professional. I also learned how to calculate the cost of medication and predicting medical conditions. These skills are vital in planning and providing resources for disease management. Medical readiness is essential…

What age is the risk of breast cancer highest An increase in age is a factor that makes you more prone to breast cancer. The highest number of breast cancer patients are aged between 50 to 70 years. The cases of people who are young than 50 years account for less than 4 percent of the total cases (Centers for disease control and prevention,2018). Older women who get to age 55 before menopause have a higher chance of getting breast cancer as they are exposed longer to hormones. The possibilities to get breast cancer to older women are also determined by some experiences of a woman at the early age. For instance, women who had been exposed to breast and chest treatment before the age of 30 are more likely to get breast cancer at the fifties. According to the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National laboratory,2014 women above fifty years are more susceptible to breast cancer because of a lack of cell responsiveness. The scientist found that as women age, the cells responsible for maintaining healthy breast tissues became…
