Nearly all teen with social impairment have anorexia as an eating disorders and theses impairment affect their social and family relationship (Park, 2011). What statistical procedures are used in the study? The population chosen was teens from 13 to 18 years, the 10,123 were chosen from the National Co-morbidity Survey Replication Adolescent Supplement. This would be a subset of the population, this element was possible chosen based on the particular study, and this is not a representation of the entire population, in this article the researcher used the empirical method for gathering data. The sampling method is difficult to differentiate, is it systematic or convenience sampling? the advantages of systematic is that it can eliminate other source of bias, the disadvantage would be that bias can be introduce where patterns used for samples coincides with patterns...

...pictures that have numbers and stats, because my main audience for this paper is my friends or anyone who is taking Computer Science major and feel like it is really overwhelming and that he cannot do it and anyone who is taking that major and in the same does not take care of his health. Specially, that we have a hard major so we have to be seated for most of the time, which lead to a lot of problems, so I used pictures to appeal to their feelings and to show them by numbers, what will happen to them if they do not start taking care of themselves. Also in Computer Science major, we take a lot of math classes so we are used to seeing numbers all the time. I want to show them that I know what they are going through and that I am not someone who just want to get good grade on his paper for an english class and that is it. In my paper and my choose of visual for this project, I used ethos, logos and pathos. They are all used to make the audience understand the effect of exercising and understand that working out is no long just something you can do to be good looking, no it is something you must do to be healthy and prevent diseases....

...Disease in the News Paper Phillip Moore HCS/330 3/4/2015 Dr. Talbert Disease in the News Paper Syphilis represents a sexually transmitted disease with a long history of infection, disability and death. The disease starts with a simple chancre and morphs into a contagion that attacks the nervous system. The history of the disease covers continents and spans oceans. Today, the disease exist as a medical footnote and as an unfortunate experiment best forgotten. However, the disease refuses to go away. This paper will examine the return of the disease and the demographic the disease attacks. First, let us learn a little bit about the history of the disease. Syphilis usually transmits sexually through small abrasions found within the mucosal membranes or through the layers of the skin. Syphilis enters the system and flows through the bloodstream to spread throughout the body. People carrying the lesions associated with the onset of syphilis usually transmit the disease (Ho, E. and Lukehart S., 2011). The chances that an exposed person may contract Syphilis is about 30% (Ho E. and Lukehart S., 2011). However the range may extend between 10% - 80%). Before the discovery of penicillin, the cure for syphilis did not exist. Patients with the disease suffered through the various stages of the disease until they died. One famous syphilis victim was the notorious gangster Al Capone. The discovery of penicillin changed the fatal outcome of the syphilis disease....

...Respiratory Disease Paper - Pneumonia Ranacia Alford HCS/245 October 16, 2014 Heather Walzel Respiratory Disease Paper – Pneumonia Introduction Pneumonia, by terminological definition, is an infection of the lungs. It can be caused by bacteria, viruses, and other microbial organisms that invade the body. Pneumonia has the potential to be an advantageous disease in that it can attack when the body is infected by another microbial, such as a upper respiratory infection (Kid’s Health, 2011). Pneumonia can also be contracted by inhaling a liquid or chemical into the lungs (National Institutes of Health [NIH], 2014). Pneumonia may affect anyone from children to adults. This disease can be prevented and treated. Disease Prevention Type Pneumonia falls under more than one prevention type category. Primary prevention of pneumonia in the form of vaccines is an effective method among children and the elderly. The infant vaccine series of the pneumococcal vaccine, Prevnar, has been incorporated into the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s recommended immunizations for infants between ages two months and eighteen months (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2014). Other vaccines also contribute to prevention including Hib, Flu, and Pertussis (CDC, 2014). Because they're at higher risk for serious complications, infants born prematurely may be given treatments that temporarily protect against RSV, which can lead to pneumonia in younger kids (Kid’s Health,...

...Jeff Sweitzer Composition ll Dr. Alex Morris Proposal Essay Cigarette Smoke It is obvious to all of us that tobacco is extremely harmful. Growing up in the culture that we do, the dangerous effects of tobacco are commonly known. Even with all of these warning signs, tobacco use is still extremely common around the world. Leah Diplacido a Ph.D. with the National Cancer Institute (NCI) reports that “438,000 deaths are attributed to cigarette smoking each year: an additional 38,000 deaths are caused by second hand smoke” (DiPlacido 1). This stat makes tobacco the number one preventable cause of death in the United States. Throughout my paper I am going to examine the effects tobacco has on the individual, the effects of second hand smoke, and discuss how quitting may be difficult. Following my examination of tobaccos dangers I will explain a solution that will help limit tobacco users as well give aid for those who are trying to quit the use of tobacco. We all know that tobacco smoke contains chemicals but do we know what these chemicals are and what they can do? The one chemical that people are familiar with is Nicotine. Nicotine is an extremely addictive ingredient of cigarettes. Nicotine plays the part of getting users “hooked”. Although nicotine is a dangerous chemical used in cigarettes there are a number of other chemicals to watch out for. The American Lung Association concluded, “Cigarette smoke contains over 7,000 chemicals, 69 of which are known to...

...Demographic Paper Axia College of University of Phoenix Health Care Consumer - Trends and Marketing HCS/490 Russell Wettstein August 14, 2011 Demographic Paper The targeted population that will be explored in this paper is childhood obesity in the United States focusing on children aged between two through17. The surgeon general has labeled child obesity in America as an epidemic supported by statistics that in the last 30 years childhood obesity has tripled. The two primary factors identified by physicians and experts in creating childhood obesity, are first that children are not receiving enough exercise daily and not eating the right kinds of foods. The combination of sedentary lifestyle’s and fast-food diets have created a whole generation of children faced with serious adult health issues such as heart disease, diabetes, and high cholesterol. In this paper the subject to describe child obesity and its general impact that changing demographics may have on the health care market. Also the paper will tackle many questions involving this issue such as why and how will changes in the demographics of this population affect health care. Identify two key health care-related challenges to this population, such as increases in health care costs, increases in prescription drug costs, or the need for in-home medical care. Describe how a chronic disease wellness program may affect the costs for this demographic, what do the demographics tell about the marketing...

...July 6, 2015 Bob Staples Rhetorical Analysis The Center for Disease Control is one of the largest organizations in the United States related to the Department of Health and Human Services. The center began on July 1, 1946 as the Communicable Disease Center (CDC). Its original goal was to stop malaria from growing throughout the nation. The founder of Communicable Disease center, Dr. Joseph Mountin kept fighting for health issues for the public and wanted to give attention to other communicable diseases as well. “The mission statements for the Center of Disease Control states “ The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) serves as the national focus for developing and applying disease prevention and control, environmental health, and health promotion and health education activities designed to improve the health of the people of the United States,” ( Our History-Our Story, 2013). The organization continues to put forth efforts of restricting chronic diseases, work place hazards and environmental health threats. It is claimed to be the leader in public health. In today’s day and age the Center for Disease Control has accessible resources such as the website http://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/adhd/facts.html. This website provides information about many diseases. For example the link above shares up to date data on Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). In summary the web page gives...

...Discuss, with supporting evidence, the different ‘proximate’ and ‘fundamental’ determinants of poverty The World Bank states: “Poverty is hunger. Poverty is lack of shelter. Poverty is being ill and not being able to see a doctor. Poverty is not having the ability to go to school and not being able to read. Poverty is being in unemployment. Poverty is losing a child to illness brought about by unclean water. Poverty is powerlessness, lack of representation and freedom.” (World Bank, as cited in Lang 2007, p.31). More than three billion people live on less than $2.50 a day which is approximately half the world’s population. In 2005, the developing world had about 72 million children of primary school age not enrolled in school; of this 72 million, 57 percent of them were girls. Each year, 2.2 million children die because they lack immunisation (Globalissues.org, 2013). This essay will discuss the fundamental determinants of poverty with the two main contenders being geography and institution. It would also discuss the proximate determinants of poverty in Kenya. What causes poverty is an important question when trying to explain poverty, but it is not one which can easily be answered. These causes can be grouped into ‘proximate’, ‘intermediate’ and ‘fundamental’ causes of poverty. The proximate cause is the ‘nearest cause’ in the chain of causation, ABCDE. The fundamental cause is what sets the chain of causation in motion. The fundamental cause of E is A, and B, C and D are intermediate...

... In this paper we will discuss several components about the Human Immunodeficiency Virus or better known as (H.I.V.). Some of the questions answered today are, How is (HIV) spread, once infected with the disease can it be cured and if not cured how well is it managed, We will also look at the beginning of the diseases life, what demographics are the most affected, the future of the disease and how much as a global community we have spent to combat (HIV). History (HIV) was first clinically observed in its most advanced form as Autoimmune Deficiency Syndrome better known as (AIDS) IN 1981. The first cases were a cluster of people who were using drugs intravenously and gay men with no known causes of impaired immunity showed symptoms of a rare and opportunistic pneumonia infection that presents itself when the immune system is compromised. Not too long after gay men started to develop Kaposi’s sarcoma a rare form of skin cancer. There were starting to be more and more cases of Kaposi’s sarcoma and pneumonia popping up all over the country. The spike in cases caused the Center for Disease Control (CDC) to form a task force. In the beginning the (CDC) did not have a name for the disease, the (CDC) often referred to it by associated diseases for example, lympadenopathy the original name of (HIV). The general media had coined the term GRID which stood for Gay Related Immunodeficiency Disease. The (CDC) had used the term the 4H disease, The (CDC)...

The study was being done on kids under the age of 12. Pediatricians’ and parents are becoming more and more concerned with this epidemic among children. Its estimated about 10% of the kids between the age of two and five are overweight. In doing this study we wanted to come up with a way to make this disease in children preventable. This study was also used to give health advisors a way to help prevent this condition with methodology measures. Conducting this study is a way of coming up with different approaches of preventative care. In doing this research we had questioned different ways pediatricians could help prevent disease in children with education. Teaching new parents that breastfed children are more likely to healthier then bottle fed children. Keeping a record on how much their daily sugar intake is. The hypothesis is identifying with the CDC growth chart, this study was done over a four month period with the difference of healthy weight between children that were breastfed verses bottle fed babies. The hypothesis is dealing with external cues, since the child has no sense on when it is done feeding, this helps trigger when they are done. When kids are left by themselves , they only eat what they need to...

...Exercise programme for people with Cystic Fibrosis and discuss the factors which may influence Exercise compliance. Introduction Cystic fibrosis (CF) is one of the most common and life limiting autosmal recessively inherited diseases in the world with an estimated occurrence in newborns of 1 per 3000 per annum (Walters, 2007). The majority of people with this disease are diagnosed during their first year of life with many countries now employing newborn screening programs. The basic mechanism of the disease consists of manifestation as pancreatic insufficiency leading to malabsorbtion and failure to thrive and impaired mucocillary clearance leading to reoccurring chest infections and bronchiestasis (Savage et al. 2011). With the recent advances in treatment of CF which have resulted in increased life span and survival rates, individuals can now expect to live into their fourth decade. Stats from the UK show that CF affects over 9000 people with 4000 under the age of 16 (Williams and Stevens, 2013). Irish stats show a similar pattern where 1200 individuals suffer from CF with 45% being under the age of 18. According to the CF trust (2010) the primary cause of death in individuals with CF is respiratory failure. CF is a progressive respiratory disease which results in an abnormal ventilator response to exercise for individuals with CF (Bradley and Moran, 2008). This contributes to dyspnoea which is a shortness of breath and is a major limiting factor to exercise tolerance in...

Bacteria and Parasites By Victor Banks Melanie Crow COM 155 4/2/13 Bacteria and parasites are both specific types of organisms that are able to have affect on a humans body, but parasites have a greater increase in harming a human being rather than a bacteria. While the exact origin of bacteria remains a matter of speculation, it is clear that they are among the oldest and most adaptable organisms on Earth. Over three and a half billion years ago the earth was an inhospitable planet characterized by a landscape of active volcanoes in an atmosphere with hardly any oxygen, as far as we know the first life forms to be on Earth were simple organisms that closely resembled present day bacteria and did not depend on atmospheric oxygen or survival. Eventually in the shallow waters of primitive earth photosynthetic microorganisms...
