clinical examination and investigation according to need. Result- Out of 100 patients78 were male and 22 were female. Maximum numbers of patients were in age group of 51 to 60 years. Vomiting (60%) and Oliguria (48%) were common presenting features. The study showed various etiological factor associated with Acute Kidney Injury like Septicemia(43%) ,Acute gastroenteritis (10%),,
Insulin Resistance and Type 2 Diabetes Type 2 diabetes formally known as a non-insulin-dependent mellitus is a metabolic disorder due to high blood sugar levels in the body, and reduced insulin secretion by the pancreas (Qing pg 3). Insulin is what metabolizes and transports the blood sugar into the cells throughout the body to fuel itself. The pancreas in response secretes the insulin into the blood stream. When insulin resistance occurs the amount of insulin secreted is not enough to transport
Theory of prevention as intervention offers a unique perspective on the nurse’s role in facilitating health and well being. Kearney-Nunnery states, “Health promotion and disease prevention activities were developed under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Health and Human services and publishes as Healthy People 2000 (2012, p. 65). Being healthy is crucial for everyone. Prevention helps humans to be careful and stay healthy before a disease overtakes a human being and destroys one’s body. Obesity
Insulin is key mediator in diabetes related hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia. In the present study, we have investigated insulin related beneficial effects of swertiamarin using primary cultures of islets of langerhans and streptozotocin (STZ) diabetic rats. In STZ-diabetic rats, swertiamarin produced an increase
one out of six visually impaired people.24 According to a study, the total number of blind people is expected to rise up to 75 million by 202025 out of which 30.1 million are estimated to be blind due to cataract.26 In a 2004 US study, cataract was found to be responsible for approximately 50% of bilateral vision worse than 6/12 (20/40) among populations of different ethnicities.27 In 1996 it was estimated that every year, 5 million new cases of blindness due to cataract occur
worldwide. It costs the United States alone over $100 billion annually. Despite this huge impact on economy and human life, studies have shown that the majority of these cases can actually be prevented if risk factors are identified and controlled as early as possible. These risk factors include, but are not limited to: Obesity, dyslipidemia, hypertension, smoking and diabetes mellitus. One of the most common etiologies of coronary artery disease is atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory
Atrial fibrillation is an active arrhythmia of the heart. It is characterized by a rapid disorganized atrial electrical activation and uncoordinated atrial contraction.5 These electrical stimulations or impulses come from areas throughout the atria.5 AF can occur when there are abnormalities such as structural, electrophysiological or both that change the atrial tissue.6 These abnormalities promote irregular impulse formation and rate propagation.6 Irregular impulses can originate from the atria
Charcot arthropathy is a disabling disease that seriously affect the quality of patients’ life with significant limitation of physical activity than any other sever medical illnesses(14,15). Whenever possible, prevention is always better than treatment. In this way early recognition of patient at risk of developing Charcot arthropathy is considered to be the best way for treatment of such problem. Application of total contact cast for those patient can settle down the process of Charcot arthropathy
result of drug interaction become harmful if the interaction causes an increase in the toxicity of the drug, However, a decrease in clinical response to drug can be occur and sometimes can be dangerous especially in the chronic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension. These undesirable and unbeneficial adverse side effects for drug interactions. Contrariwise, there are other drug interaction that are wanted and beneficial, like the co-administration of diuretics and antihypertensive (Hydrochlorothiazide
