Based on the Methods of Fertility Management section of Ch. six of the text. What are the guidelines recommended to evaluate the risk of contraceptive? Why is it important to be aware of any medical conditions before selecting a contraceptive? There are different types of contraceptives methods with different levels of effectiveness in preventing pregnancy and sexual transmitted infections and issues to think about as cost, and health risk associated with a particular method. The term contraception refers to methods of preventing conception. These methods offer varying degrees of control over when and whether pregnancies occur. Society has searched for simple, infallible, and risk-free way to prevent pregnancy since people first associated sexual activities with pregnancy. But doctors or scientist has not found one yet. To evaluate the effectiveness of particular contraceptive method, we must be familiar with two concepts: perfect failure rate and typical use failure rate. Perfect failure rate refers to the number of pregnancies that are likely to occur in the first year of use(per 100 uses of the method during sexual intercourse) The typical use information is much more practical in helping people make informed decisions about contraceptive methods. Some contraceptive methods can...

...embodied "value field"; its mission is to promote a Sanitary culture, one that locates health at the top of a hierarchy of cultural values and social goals. It is concerned with the whole person, the relationships between individuals and their environments and the wider forces that shape health. However, this essay is going to focus health promotion on coronary heart disease .In this context, the role of health promotion is in the primary prevention of cardiovascular diseases like coronary heart disease. Heart disease comes in many different forms. The most common type of heart disease in Britain and in other Western countries is coronary heart disease (CHD). Coronary heart disease (CHD) also known as ischaemic heart disease, is the UK's biggest killer, causing around 82,000 deaths each year. About one in five men and one in eight women die from the disease. There are an estimated number of 2.7million people living with the condition and 2million people affected by angina, the most common symptom of coronary heart disease. In 1989, 92,480 men and 76,421 women died from coronary heart disease, an average of 460 people (the coronary prevention group, 1991). Coronary heart disease (CHD) is usually caused by a build-up of fatty deposits on the walls of the arteries around the heart (coronary arteries). The fatty deposits, called atheroma, are made up of cholesterol and other waste substances. The build-up of atheroma on the walls of the coronary arteries makes the arteries narrower...

What factors influence the way adolescents respond? Describe the impact of puberty on parent–child interaction and the adaptive value of this change in adolescents’ relationships with their parents. Hormonal change is at its peak during adolescence and is a period of rapid psychological and physiological transformation. During puberty boys and girls sweat and their oil glands become more active. This will result in body odour and acne. They also get underarm and pubic hair in the body. The brain releases Gonadotropin – releasing hormone (GnRH) for stimulating pituitary gland. Pituitary gland is also known as the Master gland releases luteinizing hormones and follicle stimulating hormone. In boys, interstitial cell stimulating hormone and it stimulates interstitial cells to produce to from hormones in male organ of testicles. Both male and females have estrogens and androgen in their body in low level and after puberty, males begin to have more androgen including testosterone. In female they get more oestrogen as puberty crosses. Menarche is the first menstrual bleeding in a girl and her reaction to this event can be both emotional and physical.

...1 Occupational Health and Safety Issues of Police Officers in Canada, the United States and Europe: A Review Essay © Jennifer R. L. Parsons June, 2004 2 Introduction Police officers play a pivotal role in North American and European societies. They are involved in many aspects of North American and European life. Officers’ involvement ranges from general, daily, proactive patrol activities to specific criminal activities such as narcotic investigations. Because there is such a wide range of activities involved in police work, there are many health and safety issues surrounding policing as an occupation. Police officers may be exposed to different health and safety risks in their occupation. For example, police officers are at risk of assault and homicide; the dynamics of policing as an occupation creates opportunities for them to experience many psychosocial hazards such as stress, suicide, sexual harassment, and discrimination. It is important that research be completed on the health and safety issues of police officers in order to identify hazards and identify ways to reduce risk. The failure to identify and solve health and safety concerns of officers has potentially serious consequences for the health and well being of officers and their families. These consequences can include depression, divorce, suicide, and disease. Not addressing the health and safety issues associated with policing may also impact the general public. For example, if an officer is...

...GLOBAL VARIATIONS OF CHRONIC DISEASE Name: Institution: Chronic diseases all around the world have been causing lots deaths and having devastating effects on families (CDC, 2011). In this essay, I will discuss coronary heart disease symptoms, detection, prevention, causal mechanisms, treatment, and effects. I will also analyze its global variations and recommend how public health officers can be able to promote prevention and treatment measures. Coronary heart disease is a disease that develops over a long time. This disease involves accumulation or deposition of plaque in the coronary arteries that supply the heart muscles with oxygen and nourishments. The plaque hardens with time and it can burst at time and formation of a clot can occur in the artery causing more narrowing or blockage. In the long run, the accumulation leads to a decrease of the coronary artery diameter. This causes limitation of the oxygen and other nourishments supplied to the heart muscles. This weakens the heart muscles hence impairing the function of the heart resulting to angina, myocardial infarction, heart attack/heart failure and finally death (Krasner & Riegelman, 2013). A coronary heart disease has several causes or factors that are affiliated to it. These factors are classified into modifiable and non-modifiable depending on whether they can be prevented or not. Some of the modifiable factors are: smoking...

...and encourages mothers to nurse for at least the first of the baby's life. Breast feeding is important because it protects babies and supports long term health benefits. Nursing is also beneficial for the mother in numerous ways from physical health to psychological effects. There are benefits to society as well as in emergencies nursing is more beneficial. In this essay I will be talking about the benefits that come with the decision to breastfeed as opposed to formula feeding. There are a number of ways nursing is beneficial to mothers long term and when presently nursing. The health benefits are only one of the reasons that a mother should make the choice to nurse her baby instead of formula feeding. Studies have shown that women who do not breastfeed are at higher risk for health problems such as breast and ovarian cancer, diabetes and cardiovascular disease among other serious health conditions. In a study that was done by Elanor Schwartz, the assistant professor of medicine, obstetrics, gynecology and reproductive science at the University of Pittsburgh it was shown that from 139,681 post menopausal women in the U.S. that breastfed for less than 12 months during their reproductive years had a higher risk hyperlipidemia and hypertension than woman who lactated for more than a year in total.

...Persuasive Essay Because many African American men don’t go to the doctors regularly they unintentially put them selves at risk for developing lupus a chronic, autoimmune disease that can damage any part of the body. According to the Lupus Foundation of America one in 2,000 people in the United States has Lupus. But regularly check ups can help detect early stages of the disease, which in turn can help patients avoid the need for Dialysis or a Kidney transplant. As African American women whose brother has recently battled with lupus, I understand how debilitating and frightening this disease can be. I also understand how, in many cases, such suffering may be needless. Indeed, had my brother gone to the doctor’s and been proactive in his healthcare, his Lupus could have been averted. I argue all of my readers, especially African American men, to do what they can to protect their health, including receiving regular physical exams and adopting health maintenance habits. Around June 2009, my brother Justin 29 began to get ill. Most days he was fatigued and had some slight swelling in his feet. Expecting that the swelling was only temporary, he didn’t go to the doctor. However as the symptoms worsened and swelling continued moving from his feet to his knees he finally went to the doctor. “I thought I was having an allergic reaction to something I ate and would be better in a couple of days” he remembers. Months and months went by; doctor’s visits increased and the...

...In nutrition, there are many factors that influence an individual’s health and body weight, such as heredity, food selection, eating behaviors, and physical activity. Scale weight is not always a good indicator of body fat, lean mass, body water or overall health (1). This laboratory experience will give students the opportunity to conduct physical assessments by evaluating body weight and body composition. To determine body weight and body composition, techniques such as bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, wrist circumference for determining frame size, and a scale will be utilized. Students will also evaluate their own risk for cardiovascular disease and assess cardiovascular health in volunteers by measuring heart rate, filling out a heart disease risk score form, and estimating oxygen consumption and energy expenditure through a technique known as the Queens College Three-Minute Step Test. BACKGROUND: Your body is made up of the six essential nutrients: water, fat, protein, carbohydrates and various vitamins and minerals. Many factors can influence an individual’s health and body weight: heredity, eating behaviors, food selection, and amount of daily exercise. As mentioned previously, weight is not a good indicator of bodily health and balance. For any individual of a given height, there is no single best weight, but a range of healthy weights best determined by one’s body composition. For directly assessing an...

...ESSAY WRITING A MODEL ESSAY TOPIC Good health is the right of all Australians. How does the state of Aboriginal health care relate to that of non-Indigenous Australians? Why is this so and how can this situation be addressed so that there is parity across all segments of Australian society? Discuss. “Good health is not just the physical wellbeing of an individual, but the social, emotional, and cultural wellbeing of the whole community in which each individual is able to achieve their full potential as a human being thereby bringing about the total wellbeing of their community”. (Anderson, 2000, para. 6) If we take Anderson's view as the definition of good health, then the fact that an Indigenous baby raised in an Aboriginal community can expect to live 20 years less than other babies strongly indicates that the relative health status of Australia's Indigenous population is indeed much poorer than that of the rest of the Australian population (Merston, 1999, p.32). This is largely due to inadequate living conditions, lifestyle, lack of education and employment, and historical conditions. To improve the health status of Australia's Indigenous population, the government not only needs to allocate more funds to health services and the improvement of overall living conditions, but also to investigate ways in which health services can be offered to better reflect the cultural needs of this group. Indigenous Australians suffer a higher amount of illness and die at a...
