...Dual-Code would start out by sending in one response if the patient was a Diabetic when the answer was yes the system would prompt it to a cascading set of questions. The group of questions which would be answered and the end of assessment message opens. “Thank You For Taking your Diabetic Assessment.” Sending the patient straight to the “Thank you,” message should they would answered “no” to the Diabetic question. After review I have used the Single-Code Structure (this structure being the basic structure that it is) actually exemplified my process much simpler and smoother. I feel that I achieved encapsulation process. It will not affect the collected data from one version to another if it were reused, so I think it would be perfect for this type of programming because it obtaining proprietary information. Therefore, there is some security with the data as it is being hidden. The Code starts off with: IF condition (diabetes) is true THEN statement(s) in true case ELSE statement(s) in false case ENDIF . The “:Then statement,” would lead you to answer the following cascading questions and that's the behind-the-scenes on the front the process continues until the end statement opens in a “Console” so say “Thank You For Taking Your Diabetic Assessment.” The “no” is considered a “NULL” because its only necessary to write for the pertinent yeses. I did find that the single case structure...

...Cancer VS. Diabetes Diabetes and cancer are common diseases with a tremendous impact on health worldwide. These diseases have more differences than similarities, but can have the same outcome if not taken care of properly. There is evidence that says people with diabetes are at a greater risk for many forms of cancer. Studies show that some medications used to treat diabetes are associated with increased or a reduced risk of cancer. The mortality rate of each has increased in recent years, but with proper diet and a healthy lifestyle, these diseases can sometimes be controlled. Diabetes and cancer have the same risk factors which include age, gender, race, obesity, lack of exercise, smoking and alcohol. You should lose weight and eat healthy if you are at risk for either of these two diseases. For your diet, incorporating fruits and vegetables is a step in the right direction. So far, there is no real cure for diabetes, but with regular medical care and taking care of yourself, you can manage your diabetes; reducing considerably, the risk of serious complications such as heart disease and stroke. Treatment for diabetes varies depending on what type of diabetes you have. Managing all forms of diabetes include regular monitoring of blood sugar levels; eating a well-balanced, healthy diet, and following a regular exercise program. Insulin is the most common diabetes drug. It can be injected or taken orally. Beyond medications...

...Running Header: THE MAINE STATE PRISON HAS THE ABILITY TO CUT COSTS 1 The Maine State Prison has the ability to cut healthcare costs by using Medical Diets as part of a medical treatments Kaplan University THE MAINE STATE PRISON HAS THE ABILITY TO CUT HEALTHCARE COSTS 2 Taking prescription medication has become an everyday part of life for many people. Nearly 70 percent of Americans take at least one prescription drug. More than half take two, yet every medicine comes with side effects or risks associated with their use. (mayoclinic, June 19, 2013) What if people were informed that health could be improved immensely and medications could be decreased or even ended through a few simple diet changes? What if simple food and life style changes could save your health and your wallet? That is the logic and practice we must incorporate into our homes and local facilities supported by our tax dollars such as The Maine State prison. Many inmates located at The Maine State Prison have a medical need for a special diet. By accommodating these special diets, The Maine State Prison would be able to reduce their short term as well as long term prisoner healthcare costs. The Maine Department of Corrections ( DOC) has the highest per-prisoner healthcare cost in the nation in 2001 averaging 7,761 per inmate per year (Prison Healthcare cost, 2013)Inmates health, the public's safety, and taxpayers total corrections bills are all affected...

...University of Phoenix Material Research Plan As part of your research plan, you must first draft a research question for your research paper that will guide the rest of your writing. A research question, which is more specific and focused than a general topic, is the question that your research paper will answer. For example, if your general area of interest is social security, a possible research question might ask, “How can low-income families save more money if the United States had a reformed social security plan that includes personal retirement accounts?” As you develop a research question, remember that you need to research sources to support your topic. Do not pick a one-sided question that will limit your research. Instead, develop a research question that lends itself to further exploration and debate—a question you genuinely want to know the answer to. Try to pick a research question that is neither too broad (covering too much) or too narrow (covering too little). It should be broad enough to be discussed in a short research paper. Part 1: Complete the Research Plan |What is your general topic or area of interest? |My general topic or area of interest is the medical disease diabetes. | | | | |What is it about your general topic that interests you? |The way it affects your health...

...Study Skills Essay I have chosen to study about Diabetes as I think it is important that everyone is aware of this disease. In the past year the amount of people diagnosed with Diabetes has risen to 2.8 million people, an increase of more than 150,000 people in a year. This means that one in twenty of the UK population now has Diabetes. (Diabetes UK, 2010). From my experience, working as a health care assistant on a ward in a local hospital trust, I have first hand knowledge that you could be caring for a number of patients with Diabetes at one time. In this essay I shall be exploring different methods of study skills for my chosen topic. For each study skill that I have chosen, I shall explain why that method was selected, what I found useful and what did not help in increasing my knowledge of this subject. I shall demonstrate how I used a learning styles questionnaire to determine what type of learner I am. I will do this by describing the questionnaire and I shall explain how I used the information to increase my learning. How I managed my time to study effectively around university and placement will also be discussed. To prepare myself for writing this essay, I decided to discover what my learning style was in a study skills guide recommended by the university. There were four different learning styles and to help you decide which one you were there was a list of the characteristics, learning strengths and the areas that the individual needed to develop...

...Healthcare is that everyone, no matter what, has access to the full range of healthcare without financial burden. The US struggles with these issues in our own form of healthcare. This inequality of treatment is shown in "Moral Hazard: It's the Supply Side, Stupid! By Rachel Kreier, she writes, In the more complex world of the contemporary American health insurance system, this means that patients with insurance plans that pay providers higher rates are more likely to undergo expensive procedures. For example, patients with more generous types of private insurance tend to receive more resource-intensive cardiac treatments than those with public insurance or coverage through a Health Maintenance Organization (HMO; Canto et al. 2000 Cram et al. 2008 Sada et al. 1998; Wenneker, Weissman, and Epstein 1990). Similarly, cesarean birth rates are higher for well-insured women than for women who are uninsured or covered by Medicaid (Aron et al. 2000; Grant 2005; Gruber, Kim, and Mayzlin 1999; Haas, Udvarhelyi, and Epstein 1993; Stafford 1990). Insurance also correlates with cancer screening, cancer care utilization, and cancer outcomes (Rodrguez et al. 2005 Ward et al. 2008), and well-insured diabetics are more likely to fill prescriptions and receive recommended preventive services (Piette et al. 2004) (Kreier 212). Here Kreir shows how price has an effect on the type of care a person receives, this could put someone's life at risk and shows how the current healthcare system is unfair...

...bitter leaf Bitter leaf, scent leaf extract protects diabetics from heart, testicular damage Thursday, 19 July 2012 00:00 CHUKWUMA MUANYA Features - Natural Health Top of Form Bottom of Form [pic] Can increasing the intake of bitter leaf (Vernonia amygdalina) and scent leaf (Ocimum gratissimum) protect Nigerians from complications of diabetes? CHUKWUMA MUANYA writes. DIABETES is an age long, serious metabolic disorder with complications that results in significant morbidity and mortality. Chronic hyperglycemia (high blood glucose) during diabetes has been shown to cause glycation of body protein, which in turn leads to secondary complications that affect the eyes, kidneys, nerves and arteries. These complications may be delayed, lessened or prevented by maintaining blood glucose levels close to normal. Several studies have indicated that cardiovascular disease is the major cause of mortality and morbidity in modern societies, among the numerous complications of diabetes. Long standing diabetes has been documented to cause structural and functional cardiac impairment, which was found to lead to ischemic heart disease, cardiomyopathy and congestive heart failure. Previous studies have also shown that diabetics have significantly reduced testicular weights and tubule diameters. The changes in seminiferous tubules ranged from premature sloughing of epithelium to total cessation of spermatogenesis. But recent studies suggest that a combination of bitter leaf (Vernonia...

...Retrieved May 17, 2012, from MEDLINE database. 20953579 Background Information Exercise and physical activity has shown to be a significant factor in the management and treatment of diabetes. What is unknown is how benefits from physical activity directly correlate to glucose control as manifested in low glucosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels in diabetic people. The study aims to prove that the decrease in HbA1c is a result of greater aerobic fitness and strength in patients that are performing aerobic or anaerobic exercise. Secondly, it is related to the changes in strength and aerobic fitness that are performing cardiovascular exercise and resistance training. Review of Literature The purpose of the article is to assess the correlation of reduced HbA1c to physical activity. It is hypothesized that this reduction is related to the changes and increase in aerobic fitness and strength in diabetic people who are engaged in aerobic and anaerobic exercise. The result from the study showed that the link between the changes in glucose control during exercise training is not that high nevertheless; physical activity offers health benefits to diabetic patients. Methodology The study used experimental method by randomized controlled trial. Random sampling of 251 patients between 39-70 years old with type 2 diabetes mellitus that were previously sedentary was allocated aerobic, resistance, or aerobic plus resistance, or to a control group that was sedentary. The participants were evaluated...

...As I was growing up, I noticed I read a lot more than the other kids in my class. I stayed in the library often, checking out all kinds of books. Then when the book fair came around, I would always be in the library observing all the books for sale, eventually end up buying two or three books. My mom noticed that I always had a book in my hand. My comprehension level was higher than most, I even had the highest reading level by third grade. When I was in fifth grade I was introduced to essays. I enjoyed writing them because it was the thought that I could write anything I wanted on paper for people to read. It was then I realized I had a passion for books and writing. To emphasize, growing up I loved every type of book, especially the ones that challenged me. I liked books with pictures, but I preferred books with no pictures. With me constantly reading, I always had two or three books checked out from the library. My first favorite books were Junie B. Jones book. I could never put those books down. Every time my school received the magazines to order books with the school, I was the girl always buying the Junie B. Jones book set. At one point I had every book, and I had read every single one of them. I had to find a different series to begin. As I began my journey to find the book for me, I stumbled along...

...ABSTRACT Miss W M came to therapy for weight loss. She is a size 20 and would like to be a size 16. In August she is invited to a wedding where she will give a speech and she wants to look very good (she understands that quick weight loss is not healthy, so she is happy if she would not be a size 16 in August, but approaching her goal gradually.) She is 14 stone (approx 88 kg) and 1.48 cm tall, BMI 40.2. She is diabetic, and has to eat regularly. She is a single mum with 2 teenage sons and often feels tired and stressed. She is a bit worried about the family’s finances. She works in a voluntary organisation too which she find very inspiring. INTRODUCTION and INITIAL CONSULTATION At the initial consultation I used my notation form and gathered as much relevant information as possible about Miss W. I examined her medical, family and life history, including her childhood and relationship history. I already had a good relationship with the client because she is a fellow student at the Chrysalis course. At the initial consultation I tried to deepen this good rapport by giving my full attention to her and practising active listening. I used positive sentences that were empowering to help Miss W to feel at ease. We ascertained her goal: she would like to lose weight gradually and be a size 16 instead of being a size 20. I explained her that the the safe weekly rate of weight loss is between 0.5 kg and 1 kg. That’s between around 1 lb and 2 lb a week. We assessed that for a safe...

Now a day the business world is greatly influenced by their Corporate Social Responsibilities (CSR). It is also a modern marketing concept. Here it is very important to study about Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) of different company, bank, and financial institution. In this regard as a renowned and large private online bank of Bangladesh the study of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) of DBBL is very important. The rationale behind this study is to gain knowledge about Corporate Social Responsibilities of DBBL. 1.2 Background of the Company Dutch-Bangla Bank started operation is Bangladesh's first joint venture bank.
