The document concludes by discussing barriers to palliative care services and the importance of expanding resources to help meet the needs of these patient populations.
Frequency of bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder in obese females and t...Alexander Decker
This study examined the prevalence of bulimia nervosa (BN) and binge eating disorder (BED) among obese females in Iraq and compared individual characteristics between obese females with and without eating disorders. The study found that 21% of 190 obese females met criteria for BN or BED, with 16.84% having BED and 4.23% having BN. Obese females with eating disorders tended to be younger, live in cities, be married, and have higher education levels compared to obese females without eating disorders. They also reported greater body shape stress, history of diabetes, preferring fatty/mixed meals, and regular meal/snack consumption. The study aimed to better understand the relationship between obesity and eating disorders

The document discusses malnutrition in Bangladesh. It defines malnutrition as a deficiency, excess, or imbalance of nutrients that impairs health. The major malnutrition problems in Bangladesh are protein-energy malnutrition (kwashiorkor and marasmus), vitamin A deficiency, iron deficiency anemia, iodine deficiency, and lathyrism from khesari dhal. Malnutrition is caused by socioeconomic factors like low income, lack of nutrition knowledge, bottle feeding, and young mothers, as well as infectious diseases, socio-cultural practices, and food shortages from disasters or lack of storage. The document describes kwashiorkor as protein deficiency with adequate calories and marasmus as inadequate calorie intake, listing their clinical features
Obesity and malnutrition an international perspective of the paradoxGianluca Tognon
Obesity and malnutrition can occur together due to economic and social factors. In low-income communities, obesogenic foods that are high in calories but low in nutrients are often most affordable and available. This can lead to weight gain while still being malnourished. Additionally, periods of food insecurity may cause people to overeat when food is available to store calories against future uncertainty. Overall, complex social and economic drivers can result in both obesity and malnutrition within the same family or community.
This document summarizes research investigating potential differences in inhibitory control between overweight children and normal-weight controls using electrophysiological measures. The study used a stop-signal reaction time task to measure inhibitory control and analyzed event-related potentials (ERPs), specifically the N2 and P3 components. Behavioral results found no significant differences in stop-signal reaction times between groups. ERP results found no significant group differences in the amplitude of the N2 or P3 components. However, the P3 component occurred earlier for successful stop trials compared to unsuccessful stop trials overall. The study had limitations due to small sample sizes and discusses avenues for future research.
This document presents the case of a 12-year-old male patient admitted with nephrotic syndrome. On examination, the patient had edema, elevated cholesterol, and urine analysis showed albumin and epithelial cells. Based on these findings, the patient was diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome. He was started on medications including prednisolone and furosemide. Over five days of treatment, his symptoms improved as seen in decreasing blood pressure and resolution of edema. He was counseled on diet and medication compliance and asked to follow up in one week.

A 6-year-old male patient presented with hematuria and burning urination. Laboratory tests found significant proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, and hyperlipidemia. He was diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome. Treatment included diuretics, corticosteroids, diet counseling, and absconded before additional testing could be completed. Nephrotic syndrome causes protein loss leading to edema, hyperlipidemia, and other complications. Prognosis depends on specific pathology but most cases are steroid-responsive.
This clinical case study describes a 5-year-old boy presenting with bilateral periorbital swelling, facial puffiness, and mild pedal edema. He was diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome based on proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, and edema. He received treatment including antibiotics, diuretics, and oral prednisolone over 4 weeks, which resulted in spontaneous remission of his symptoms. Nephrotic syndrome is a kidney disorder characterized by protein in the urine, low albumin levels, edema, and high cholesterol. It is usually treated initially with steroid therapy over 4-6 months to induce remission and prevent relapses.
The document summarizes a case of a 16 month old female patient named Naseeba who presented with pallor and difficulty breathing for the past month and 5 days respectively. She was diagnosed with thalassemia major based on her history of severe anemia requiring regular blood transfusions since 8 months of age. Her examination revealed signs of severe anemia, failure to thrive, and secondary malnutrition. The discussion section provided an overview of thalassemia including pathogenesis, classification, management with regular blood transfusions and chelation therapy, as well as complications. It emphasized the importance of lifelong management, counseling, and screening to improve quality of life for patients with thalassemia major.
1. Thalassemia is caused by a defective production of the globin portion of hemoglobin, resulting in an imbalance between alpha and beta globin chains.
2. There are two main types - alpha thalassemia affects alpha chain production while beta thalassemia affects beta chain production.
3. Beta thalassemia major is the most severe form, characterized by severe anemia starting in early childhood requiring lifelong regular blood transfusions and iron chelation therapy to prevent iron overload.

Nephrotic syndrome is characterized by nephrotic range proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, hyperlipidemia, and edema. It can be primary, caused by diseases limited to the kidney, or secondary, caused by diseases involving other organ systems. Primary causes include minimal change disease, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, and membranous nephropathy. Management involves treating any underlying causes, controlling edema and hyperlipidemia, and using corticosteroids or other immunosuppressive drugs to induce remission in frequent relapsers or steroid-dependent patients.
This study demonstrated a novel natural transformation mechanism in Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans (A.a.) that is independent of uptake signal sequences and the Tfox gene. The study showed that A.a. could be transformed with genomic and plasmid DNA present in microvesicles secreted into the growth medium of donor cells. This transformation occurred both in the presence and absence of components normally required for natural transformation in A.a. The results suggest outer membrane adhesion and fusion of donor microvesicles with recipient cells allows DNA delivery and homologous recombination. This novel mechanism could provide an easier method for genetically transforming A.a. compared to conventional techniques.

Hi Khizar - Thank you for submitting your work.
However, there are a number of things which must be strengthened to bring it up to Level 7 standard.
Right from the background, good, recent sources are often lacking, and your exploration of causes is far too brief (Indeed, you don’t even refer to a basic ‘energy in – energy out’ equation for T2D). Your selection of interventions appears arbitrary and poorly supported, with no real attempt to examine ‘Health-Evidence-People’. Crucially, for Level 7 work, some attempt at critical analysis is needed.
You could use your Beattie model to analyse the interventions, and your ethics discussion should apply a framework to those interventions. The policy discussion should examine a current government example.
A number of whole paragraphs are without a source, so you referencing needs serious attention.
Provisional Uncapped Mark Marks will be capped if this was a late submission or resit assessment and may be moderated up or down by the examination board.

Type two Diabetes and Public HealthINTRODUCTION
Type 2 Diabetes was chosen to be the topic of discussion in this assignment as it is a common type of diabetes, making it a public health issue. This occurs when the blood sugar level has surpassed the normal level, basically the blood sugar, comes from the food eaten and I is the main source of energy needed to run our bodies. Whereby hormones made by the pancreas and insulin aids the glucose to get into our body cells to provide the energy needed. The connection comes in whereby the glucose or blood sugar level is much more than needed which makes the insulin not to be enough or the insulin that is present is not used well. Basically, that is the general description of type two diabetes. Therefore, the result is that too much sugar remains in the blood and the cells lack enough to run the body on a daily basis. This type of diabetes mainly affects people of every age, it cannot be considered as a condition for only people. This type of diabetes affects at every age even age childhood. Comment by Aldo Mussi: Rethink this (with Refs).
But generally, it affects most people who are middle aged and older people, especially under predisposing aspects such as family history of diabetes and obesity. Based on demo ...
The document outlines an assignment to create a presentation on diabetes prevalence using the Health Belief Model. It will include information on incidence, prevalence, high-risk groups, demographics of those affected. An overview of primary, secondary and tertiary prevention stages and how the model can be applied to improve diabetes management will also be provided.
The document summarizes 5 research articles related to diabetes. It discusses the purpose, background, methods, subjects, data collection and analysis, and conclusions of each study. The first study examined pregnant women's knowledge of gestational diabetes prevention. The second looked at factors influencing insulin initiation in UK adults with diabetes. The third evaluated the relationship between continuous glucose monitoring and type 1 diabetes management. The fourth assessed the link between vitamin D intake and risk of type 1 diabetes in infants. The fifth studied the association between erectile dysfunction and glycemic control in men with type 2 diabetes.
Obesity in America has reached epidemic levels, with 72 million Americans obese and obesity-related health issues costing over $120 billion annually. Obesity rates are increasing rapidly and affecting more children. While lifestyle factors and genetics play a role, corporations like fast food companies and schools share some blame due to marketing of unhealthy foods and eliminating physical education. Preventing further obesity will require awareness, personal responsibility, leading by example, and industry changes.

1) Obesity is an unhealthy accumulation of body fat that is seen as a metabolic/nutritional disease in the United States. It is associated with numerous health risks like congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and type 2 diabetes.
2) Obesity rates have significantly increased in both adults and children in America in recent decades. It is estimated that 60 million American adults and 9 million children are obese. Obesity is linked to increased risk of diseases like cancer and heart disease.
3) Treatment of obesity involves lifestyle changes like diet, exercise, and behavior modification. Medications and weight loss surgeries are also used but come with risks. Common bariatric surgeries include gastric bypass
This document is a powerpoint presentation on diabetes given as part of a community education collaborative. It provides an overview of diabetes, including definitions, types, statistics on prevalence and costs, risk factors, and how food and weight can affect diabetes risk. It discusses how excess visceral fat can increase insulin resistance and the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. The presentation emphasizes that personal food and exercise choices can help prevent and manage diabetes, and outlines creating a personalized health plan to help control weight and diabetes risk.
The document outlines a proposed program called Healthy Heart Dentistry that aims to screen dental patients for diabetes through a new revenue stream for dentists. It notes that over 23 million Americans have diabetes, but nearly a third are undiagnosed. The program would provide dentists with diabetes risk assessments to administer to patients and test kits to detect pre-diabetes and diabetes. The goal is to improve diabetes detection and education while creating a new service for dentists.

The document discusses obesity and its associated risks. It defines obesity as a chronic energy imbalance where calories consumed exceed calories expended. Individual behaviors, environment, and genetics all contribute to obesity. Excess weight gain is associated with increased risks of several health conditions like hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and certain cancers. Untreated hypertension can damage vital organs and increase risks of heart attack, stroke, kidney failure, and vision loss.
This document provides information about diabetes, including:
- There are several types of diabetes defined by etiology and treatment needs. Type 1 is insulin dependent while Type 2 is typically non-insulin dependent.
- Diabetes is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular, eye, kidney, and neurological complications if not properly managed and controlled. Tight glycemic control is important to reduce risks.
- Risk factors include family history, obesity, age, and ethnicity. Management involves lifestyle changes like diet, exercise, and medication to control blood sugar, lipids, and blood pressure.
Genetics play a significant role in the development of eating disorders according to three studies. Study 1 found that identical twins exhibited more similar internalization of thin ideals and disordered eating than fraternal twins, indicating genetic influences. Study 2 determined that genetics accounted for 40-48% of variances in disordered eating behaviors for both males and females. Study 3 revealed a 38% genetic contribution to restrained eating independent of BMI. However, the influence of genetics relative to environmental factors like media is still unclear according to the conclusions. Further research is needed to fully understand the interplay between genetic predispositions and social influences on eating pathology.
This document discusses obesity and related topics including definitions, causes, and health impacts. It defines obesity as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that presents health risks. Obesity is generally caused by consuming more calories than are expended through exercise and physical activity. The document also reviews several related studies that examine trends in obesity prevalence and factors influencing obesity rates among populations in different regions and socioeconomic groups.
1. The document discusses nursing interventions for elderly patients with diabetes, including nutrition and hydration, physical activity, stress management, fall prevention, foot care, and medication management.
2. Key nursing interventions include maintaining hydration and nutrition despite changes in appetite or digestion, incorporating exercise to preserve mobility and prevent injuries from falls, and assisting with medication administration when needed due to physical impairments.
3. The needs of elderly diabetes patients are complex due to various age-related physical and cognitive changes, so nursing care requires a holistic approach addressing medical, psychological, social, and environmental factors.
Metabolic syndrome is a complex condition represented by risk factors that affect many people in this generation. Metabolic syndrome is characterized as having three or more of the following conditions; cardiovascular conditions, abdominal visceral fat, increased blood pressure, obesity, and diabetes. The research correlates to the objectives of Healthy People’s 2020s mission statement of eliminating health disparities among all and improving quality of life for years to come, metabolic syndrome in particular targets the individuals showing a case of increased weight who later experience health concerns due to obesity.
This research identifies the risks of metabolic syndrome in specifics to African American women; their risks are higher than those of Caucasian women. Although the risks of MS can affect anyone, as this research will present it is more sever in African American women, the condition can be contained with recommended moderate high to low physical activity with duration of 30 minutes 3-5 times a week. The importance of physical activity is highly recommended for those at high risk of metabolic syndrome. This research is important in setting the stage for future intervention to better improve the quality of all individuals facing health concerns related to weight.
The document discusses diabetes and obesity. It defines the three main types of diabetes - type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is most common and is associated with obesity. The document also defines obesity clinically as a BMI over 30 kg/m^2. It notes that approximately 80% of people with type 2 diabetes are obese. The South region of the US has the highest obesity rates, which may be due to factors like poverty, fried foods, and limited access to healthy foods. There is a strong positive correlation between obesity and type 2 diabetes.
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. While a large proportion of CVDs are preventable, rates continue to rise due to inadequate preventive measures. An estimated 17.3 million people died from CVDs in 2008, with over 80% of deaths occurring in low- and middle-income countries. By 2030, almost 23.6 million people will die from CVDs annually. South Africa faces a high burden from CVDs, with the top four risk factors being smoking, high BMI, hypertension, and high blood cholesterol. Population-wide interventions targeting modifiable risk factors like tobacco use, unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, and alcohol could prevent the majority of premature CVDs

The purpose of this assignment is to critique an article about a topic covered in this
week’s reading material and discuss both the topic and the article with classmates. The topic I
chose for this assignment is: congenital anomalies. Congenital anomalies are genetic or inherited
disorders or developmental disorders that are present at birth. A congenital anomaly can be
caused by a single-gene disorder, which is a mutation in one gene in the ova or sperm that is
passed down to later generations. Mutations in body cells that are not reproductive cells can
cause a disorder or dysfunction but cannot be passed down the way mutations in reproductive
cells can (Vanmeter, 2014).
Chromosomal defects can also be the cause congenital anomalies. During meiosis, DNA
fragments can be displaced or lost. This kind of error is what usually causes chromosomal
anomalies and is more common when the mother is older than age 35. Some congenital
disorders happen at birth, but do not have a genetic component. These can occur from premature
birth, exposure to teratogenic agents, or a traumatic labor or delivery. Teratogenic agents are
those that can damage the embryo or fetus and its development. Some congenital anomalies are
caused by multiple genes, making them polygenic disorders (Vanmeter, 2014).
The article I chose to critique is entitled “Dietary glycemic index and glycemic load
during pregnancy and offspring risk of congenital heart defects: a prospective cohort study.” It
was authored by Amalie Schmidt, Marie Lund, Giulia Corn, Thorhallur Halldorsson, Nina Oyen,
Jan Wohfahrt, Sjurdur Olsen, and Mads Melbye, all of whom are affiliated with reputable
institutions, such as the University of Bergen Department of Global Public Health, Harvard TH
Chan School of Public Health, and Stanford University School of Medicine. The article was
published this year, 2020, in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. The purpose of this
CONGENITAL ANOMALIES 3
article was research- to examine the relationship between mid-pregnancy dietary glycemic index,
glycemic load, and the risk of congenital heart defects in the baby. The article does not include a
formal literature review, but the introduction section provides information already published
about the topic from previous studies, mostly in the discipline of medicine. The journals cited
from are mostly medical journals on the topics of pediatrics, epidemiology, and diabetes. The
authors identify a research gap by stating that only one other study exists that assesses the risks
between glycemic index and heart defects. The first aim of the study was to investigate the
association between glycemic index and glycemic load during pregnancy and offspring risk of
congenital heart defects using a food-fre.
