Getting Pregnant (Tips for Trying to Conceive) Tubal Pregnancy Picture Content: The first two weeks of pregnancy are counted as the time prior to ovulation, in which the body is preparing to release an egg. Week #3 begins with release of an egg, or ovulation. If the egg is fertilized by a sperm cell, it is known as a zygote. The zygote divides and becomes a collection of cells known as a blastocyst. In week #4 of pregnancy, the blastocyst implants in the wall of the uterus and develops into the placenta and embryo. The blastocyst is considered an embryo at the point when the amniotic sac develops (by about day 10 to 12 after fertilization, or at the start of week #5 of pregnancy). An embryo represents the early stage of human development, roughly corresponding to the 5th-10th weeks of pregnancy. Early Pregnancy Symptoms and Signs Not every woman has the same signs and symptoms of pregnancy. For some women, the early signs and symptoms of pregnancy include mood changes, headaches, low back pain, tender breasts, weight gain, and nausea.

This notification allows the CDC to do close monitoring of potentially infected or infectious individuals according to current CDC guidelines and will afford those individuals who develop the infection early treatment, to increase their chances for survival and decrease the possibility of transferring infection to others. In addition, an experimental vaccine (rVSV-ZEBOV) helps to prevent infections with Ebola, and a new antiviral drug, mAb114, helps the body render the Ebola virus ineffective. Individuals and health care workers who have been exposed to Ebola-infected patients and develop early symptoms of Ebola need to isolate themselves from other uninfected individuals and go to a clinic or hospital in their country that is capable of taking care of Ebola-infected patients. Ideally, such individuals should be careful (use barrier techniques and/or inform EMS or other transporters) not to contaminate anyone while they are transported to the appropriate health care facilities.

Grief is quite common and is the normal internal feeling one experiences in reaction to a loss, while bereavement is the state of having experienced that loss. Although most commonly discussed in reference to the death of a loved one, any major loss (for example, breakup of a relationship, job loss, or loss of living situation) can result in a grief reaction. Prolonged grief is a reaction to loss that lasts more than one year with the grief reaction affecting the sufferer's close relationships, disrupting his or her beliefs, and resulting in the bereaved experiencing an ongoing longing for their deceased loved one. Mourning is the outward expression of the loss of a loved one and usually involves culturally determined rituals that help mourners make sense of the end of their loved one's life and gives structure to what can feel like a very confusing time. It is influenced by personal, familial, cultural, religious, and societal beliefs and customs. The potential negative effects of a grief reaction can be significant and often aggravated by grief triggers, events that remind the grievers of their loved one, or the circumstances surrounding their loss.

It is influenced by personal, familial, cultural, religious, and societal beliefs and customs. The potential negative effects of a grief reaction can be significant and often aggravated by grief triggers, events that remind the grievers of their loved one, or the circumstances surrounding their loss. The risk factors for experiencing more serious symptoms of grief for a longer period of time are related to the survivor's own physical and emotional health before the loss, the relationship between the bereaved and their family member or other loved one, as well as the nature of the death. Grief-stricken individuals who feel the death of their loved one is unexpected or violent may be at greater risk for suffering from major depression, posttraumatic stress disorder ( PTSD ), or prolonged grief. The seven emotional stages of grief are usually understood to be shock or disbelief, denial, bargaining, guilt, anger, depression, and acceptance/hope. Symptoms of grief can be emotional, physical, social, or religious in nature. For children and adolescents, their reactions to the death of a loved one usually reflect the particular developmental stage of the child or adolescent.

Mourning usually involves culturally determined rituals that help mourners make sense of the end of their loved one's life and give structure to what can feel like a very confusing time. Therefore, while the internal pain of grief is a more universal phenomenon, how people mourn is influenced by their personal, familial, cultural, religious, and societal beliefs and customs. Everything from how families prepare themselves and their loved ones for death, and understand and react to the passing to the practices for preserving memories of the deceased, their funeral or memorial, burial, cremation, or other ways of handling the remains of the deceased is influenced by internal and external factors. The length of time for a formal mourning period and sometimes the amount of bereavement leave people are allowed to take from work is determined by a combination of personal, familial, cultural, religious, and societal factors. Mourning customs also affect how bereaved individuals may feel comfortable seeking support from others as well as the appropriate ways for their friends and family to express sympathy during this time. For example, cultures may differ greatly in how much or how little the aggrieved individual may talk about their loss with friends, family members, and coworkers and may determine whether or not participating in a bereavement support group or psychotherapy is acceptable. What are the effects of losing a loved one? The potential negative effects of a grief reaction can be significant. For example, research shows that about 40% of bereaved people will suffer from some form of anxiety disorder in the first year after the death of a loved one, and there can be up to a 70% increase in death risk of the surviving spouse within the first six months after the death of his or her partner.

For these reasons, questionnaires that assess how much stress a person is experiencing usually place the loss of a loved one at the top of the list of the most serious stresses to endure. When considering the death of a loved one, the effects of losing a pet should not be minimized. Pets are often considered another member of the family, and therefore their loss is grieved as well. Making the decision to euthanize (painlessly put to death) the family pet once a family works with their veterinarian to determine that the pet is suffering as a result of their age, specific illness, and/or general declining health can add stress to the bereavement process by leaving family members feeling guilty initially, but if done properly, can help families understand that they spared their beloved pet unnecessary suffering. In addition to grief as an initial reaction to loss, the process can be aggravated by events that remind the bereaved individuals of their loved one or the circumstances surrounding their loss.

A shared song, television show, or activity can cause anguish by reminding the widower of the wife he lost or the child of the grandparent who is no longer living. Wa

You will want to find out if the doctor or midwife can deliver your baby in the place you want to give birth, such as a specific hospital or birthing center. Your provider also should be willing and able to give you the information and support you need to make an informed choice about whether to breastfeed or bottle-feed.

Nightmares Paraphilia Post-traumatic Stress Disorder Sexual Addiction Sexual Health Content: If left untreated, the physical and psychological effects of sexual assault and rape can be devastating, sometimes even deadly. The primary consideration for caring for victims of rape or other sexual assault is to focus on the needs of the victim during this crisis, providing timely, appropriate medical, mental health, and legal assessment and care by specially trained and experienced professionals in a timely manner. What Is Sexual Assault? Sexual assault is defined as any illegal sexual contact that involves forcing a person without their consent or inflicting such contact on someone who is unable to give consent due to their age or to physical or mental incapacities. Sexual assault may also involve sexual contact that is inflicted by someone who is trusted by or has authority over the victim. Incest is one example of childhood sexual abuse that is perpetrated by a trusted person who often has authority over the victim, as when a parent or sibling engages in such a violation on another family member. Sexual harassment is defined as unwanted sexual behavior that interferes with the victim's work or school life. It does not include behaviors that are wanted or welcome, like desired flirting, kissing, or touching. Unfortunately, sexual assault and sexual harassment take place in a variety of settings. The most common site where young women report sexual harassment is at school, including on college campuses.

Title: Bee venom therapy for Arthritis on MedicineNet.com Headings: Sting the Pain Away Sting the Pain Away Unproven Results Most Got Better Bee Venom Studied Caution Needed SLIDESHOW Health Solutions From Our Sponsors Content: Because one to five percent of the population is allergic to bee venom, apitherapy patients must first be tested. Moreover, the practitioner should have close at hand a bee sting kit which can remedy allergic reactions. "From where I sit, most bee venom therapy treatment is done on arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and relieving numbness in an arm or leg," says Ross Hauser, a doctor at the Caring Medical & Rehabilitation Service in Oak Park, Illinois. In a study as yet unpublished, Hauser followed for one year 51 patients with documented chronic progressive multiple sclerosis. The subjects started bee venom therapy with one injection weekly and increased to an average of eleven shots every other week. "Fifty-eight percent had a very positive response and got significantly better," says Hauser. " But 30 percent had no benefit, and one patient got worse." The patients who improved could walk and climb stairs better and had better bowel and bladder control, as well as more control over the activities of daily living. The downside, according to experts, is that some patients can't endure the injections or bee stings. Says Hauser, "I've had patients who did very well with bee venom therapy but found the injections too painful."

Title: Higher White Blood Cell Count May Boost Death Risk Headings: Higher White Blood Cell Count May Boost Death Risk Higher White Blood Cell Count May Boost Death Risk Latest MedicineNet News SLIDESHOW From Health Solutions From Our Sponsors Content: And, "the increased risk of mortality associated with high white blood cell (counts) was maintained over 40 years of follow-up," she added. But the researchers stressed that they have not yet confirmed a cause-and-effect link between higher white blood cell counts and illness risk. It remains unclear whether an elevated count helps trigger serious disease, or whether these cell counts rise naturally after illness. And one expert said it's too early to make any changes to practice based on the findings. "The findings are interesting and help to bolster that inflammation status is involved in the biology of many chronic diseases, but the findings do not suggest specific screening or treatment would be advisable," said Dr. Mary Cushman, director of the thrombosis and hemostasis program at the University of Vermont and Fletcher Allen Health Care in Colchester, Vt. The findings are published in the May 8 issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. Generated by the bone marrow and spread throughout the body, white blood cells (WBC) -- also called leukocytes -- are the immune's system key weapon against infectious disease. In the absence of disease, they normally make up just one percent of a person's blood. According to the U.S. National Institutes of Health, a simple blood test can easily determine whether a patient's WBC count falls within the normal range of 4,500 to 10,000 cells per microliter of blood. While a below-normal WBC count may indicate bone marrow failure and/or liver and spleen disease, illness or invasion by a foreign body typically provokes a rise in white blood cells.

Turf toe, commonly seen in athletes where there is a demand for rapid push-off on the ball of the foot, may also appear with pain and swelling at the big toe joint caused by a straining and tearing of the soft tissues and ligaments. Pain in the Smaller Toes A pain in the ball of the foot that is sharp, burning, numbing, and/or tingling with radiation into the toes may be from a neuroma. Neuromas develop from irritation and inflammation around the nerve, causing the surrounding tissue to thicken and scar. It most commonly occurs between the third and fourth toes of the foot, called a Morton's neuroma. Symptoms can be intermittent and range from subtle numbness to extreme pain. Narrow shoes may be a causative factor and aggravate the condition. It is eight to 10 times more common in women than men. Itchy Feet: Athlete's Foot, Dermatitis, Psoriasis The most common cause of itchy feet is athlete's foot.

Do individuals have a right to choose when and how to die? Arguments for euthanasia People who support euthanasia contend that in some cases, allowing someone to die is more humane than forcing them to endure the constant pain caused by a chronic medical condition for which there is no treatment or cure. Dying with dignity is also an important consideration for these patients. To some of them, choosing death is a human right. Having the autonomy to decide the timing and method of their deaths would make the dying process much more predictable and respectable, preventing them from succumbing to tormenting deaths with unnecessary prolongation of pain. To counter the views held by detractors, euthanasia advocates emphasise that quality of life can only be assessed by the individual himself or herself. It is impossible for anyone else to fully comprehend the feelings of the individual. Arguments against euthanasia However, when we consider the issue from another perspective, it can be argued that legalising euthanasia would lead to a “ slippery slope ”, making it much more difficult to regulate the actions of physicians. Making euthanasia an available option would also make it vulnerable to abuse, possibly sliding into the realm of murder, and such acts would not necessarily be investigated.

Title: Medical Ethics - Euthanasia Headings: Medical Ethics – Euthanasia Medical Ethics – Euthanasia Types of Euthanasia The Controversy Ethical questions Arguments for euthanasia Arguments against euthanasia The Law Countries that have Legalised Euthanasia The United States Singapore The United Kingdom Cases and Examples 2019 Case in the Netherlands Tine Nys (Belgium) Diane Pretty (The United Kingdom) Applying Ethical Principles Further Reading References Content: With rapid advancements in modern medicine, there may be a slim chance of recovery or pain relief in the near future for patients whose illnesses were once thought to be untreatable. In such cases, performing euthanasia on patients would deprive them the chance to embrace a new and better life. In some cultures, religions and societies, euthanasia is considered an affront to the sanctity of life . Some religions belief that God has a timing for everything, including a person’s death. In addition, some terminally ill patients who become seen as “burdens” to healthcare systems and their families may be pressurised to end their own life, against their initial will. This could threaten to make society less caring towards the old and the sick. The Law Countries that have Legalised Euthanasia In April 2002, the Netherlands became the first country to legalise euthanasia and assisted suicide. It imposed a strict set of conditions: the patient must be suffering unbearable pain, their illness must be incurable, and the demand must be made in “full consciousness” by the patient. Belgium passed a law in 2002 legalising euthanasia, becoming the second country in the world to do so.

Advice Home Blog Ageism Examples Key Takeaways Ageism is the unfair treatment, discrimination, and stereotyping of an individual or group because of their age. Examples of ageism are typically found in workplace environments. Families can partake in age discrimination if they unnecessarily abandon or push away older family members. Experiencing ageism can have immeasurable long-term impacts on mental, emotional, and physical health. The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) forbids the discrimination of adults aged 40+ in the workplace. Ageism is defined as the unfair treatment, discrimination, and/or stereotyping of an individual or group because of their age. Unfortunately, negative attitudes developed around specific age groups can have consequences in many aspects of life. For instance, not only can ageism affect an individual’s job prospects, but it can also impact their quality of life.

The frequency with which this situation occurs is astonishing and often overlooked. Technological Misconceptions A common stereotype about seniors is that they’re clueless on how to use computers or any piece of modern technology. Not only is this a false and insulting belief to spread, but it could also create an uncomfortable, toxic workplace. Assuming that old people are automatically slow to understand new technology is wrong in itself. At the end of the day, anyone can learn anything if they adopt the right mindset and commit themselves to mastering the use of a technological device. Employers Looking For Experience Having years of experience goes a long way when applying for any company. What is considered an advantage can become a crutch when employers enact specific wording that could exclude you from applying to the job for whatever reason. For example, most companies are always looking for individuals with certain years of experience in their hiring process. When the companies impose ranges such as 5-8 years of experience rather than 8+ years of experience, then it excludes an older demographic with more skills and experience from applying for the position.

Title: Cricopharyngeal achalasia - MediGoo - Health Tests and Medical Info Headings: Cricopharyngeal achalasia Cricopharyngeal achalasia Content: The condition is distinct from abnormalities of the normal relaxation response to the esophageal air distention and elevated resting tone. Diverse etiologies may cause the disorder, and a sequence of tests is usually necessary to confirm the diagnosis and exclude other conditions that might cause similar symptoms. Guidance on treatment options is limited due to the lack of controlled trials for the disorder as well as concern about accuracy of the diagnosis. Asherson was the first to consider the possibility that defective opening of the upper esophageal sphincter (UES) might cause swallowing problems. He describes in his study several patients with a characteristic profile radiograph of the pharynx: a hold-up of the barium bolus above the cricopharyngeus, swallowed boli which piled up in the hypopharynx forming a reservoir which acts as a «drip feed» to the esophagus. Asherson introduced the term "Cricopharyngeal achalasia" to describe this functional disturbance. He suggested that there was partial or complete failure, as well as a delay in the relaxation of the cricopharyngeal sphincter in these patients. However, Asherson gave no clear radiological description of the cricopharyngeus muscle itself. Unfortunately, the literature on cricopharyngeal achalasia has been made confusing by the lack of uniform definition of the condition.

Title: Emotional instability: Description, Causes and Risk Factors Headings: Emotional instability Emotional instability Emotional instability: Description, Causes and Risk Factors: Symptoms: Diagnosis: Emotional instability Treatment: Content: Whilst the condition is not very common, emotional instability is classed as a serious mental health problem due to the high incidence of self harming and suicidal tendencies. Most people suffering from emotional instability disorder suffer from very low self esteem, which has a knock on effect on all areas of life and many sufferers are prone to bouts of extreme depression and a chronic sense of emptiness. If left untreated, the patient can begin to withdraw from the world and give in to their internal pain, distress and emotional numbness. Patients suffering from emotional instability are subject to mercurial mood swings, often for no apparent reason. Such changeable mood patterns can play havoc with close personal relationships, which makes living with a person suffering from emotional instability disorder very challenging. A fear of abandonment is another common symptom of emotional instability disorder. This particular symptom is often related to the underlying cause of the disorder: a traumatic childhood characterized by parental neglect, abuse, and rejection. Abandonment issues in adulthood lead to very intense and emotional relationships where the sufferer is often insecure and likely to cling on to dysfunctional relationships with people who treat them badly. Many patients suffering from emotional instability exhibit destructive behavioral traits.

Title: Esophageal dysmotility - MediGoo - Health Medical Tests | Information Headings: Esophageal dysmotility Esophageal dysmotility Esophageal dysmotility: Description, Causes and Risk Factors: Symptoms: Diagnosis: Treatment: Content: Esophageal dysmotility - MediGoo - Health Medical Tests | Information Esophageal dysmotility Esophageal dysmotility: Description, Causes and Risk Factors: Esophageal dysmotility is medical disorder causing difficulty in swallowing, regurgitation of food and a spasm-type pain which can be brought on by an allergic reaction to certain foods. The most prominent one is dysphagia. The function of the esophagus is to transport food from the mouth to the stomach. For food to be transported efficiently and correctly, the muscles of the esophagus must coordinate in a very structured fashion to transport food to the stomach while ensuring that the stomach contents do not escape. An esophageal dysmotility disorder is one in which this process has been disrupted. These types of disorders can prevent food from being delivered to the stomach or cause stomach contents to be regurgitated. These problems can lead to esophageal dysmotility symptoms such as chest pain, pain when swallowing or the feeling of a permanent lump in the throat. Disorders related to the upper esophageal sphincter or cricopharyngeal muscle are usually related to extremely high contraction of this muscle.

Disorders related to the upper esophageal sphincter or cricopharyngeal muscle are usually related to extremely high contraction of this muscle. This leads to difficulty swallowing, and over time can lead to an out-pouching above this sphincter known as a Zenker's diverticulum. Disorders related to the lower esophageal sphincter can be due to either extremely high muscle contraction tone or extremely low contraction tone. If the sphincter tone is too high and does not open with swallowing, patients often experience difficulty passing food. This may be associated with complete loss of peristalsis in the body of the esophagus in a condition known as achalasia. It may also be an isolated disorder that can be associated with an out-pouching of the esophagus above it, known as an epiphrenic diverticulum.

Title: Esophageal dysmotility - MediGoo - Health Medical Tests | Information Headings: Esophageal dysmotility Esophageal dysmotility Esophageal dysmotility: Description, Causes and Risk Factors: Symptoms: Diagnosis: Treatment: Content: In some cases, a hypertensive lower esophageal sphincter can paradoxically occur in the setting of reflux disease. If the lower esophageal sphincter tone is too low, uncontrolled reflux of gastric contents may occur. Other than in the setting of GERD, this finding may occur with some connective tissue disorders, such as scleroderma. Esophageal dysmotility disorder may also be the result of the build-up of scar tissue in the esophagus. Symptoms: These problems can lead to symptoms such as chest pain, pain when swallowing or the feeling of a permanent lump in the throat. Diagnosis: A chest radiograph is not required to establish the diagnosis. In patients with long-standing achalasia, the esophagus dilates and exhibits a sigmoid appearance. An air-fluid level, a widened mediastinum, and the absence of a gastric air bubble often are observed.

Esophagram: Advanced achalasia produces a dilated intrathoracic esophagus with an air-fluid level. The classic sign is a tapering of the LES, creating the characteristic "bird-beak" appearance. Early achalasia would reveal a normal anatomical esophagus with loss of peristalsis and transient stasis just above the GEJ. Occasionally, epiphrenic diverticula are noted immediately above the LES. Hiatal hernia reportedly is observed in 10-20% of patients with achalasia. In patients with DES, the classic esophagram findings are of a "corkscrew" or "rosary bead" esophagus. Pseudodiverticula and curling also suggest DES. In patients with scleroderma esophagus, the esophagram shows a slightly dilated esophagus, weak or absent peristalsis, and free reflux often is demonstrated.

Title: Chemical Castration - Medicine - Pros and Cons Headings: Chemical Castration Chemical Castration About Chemical Castration in Medicine Pros and Cons of Chemical Castration References: Latest Publications and Research on Chemical Castration Content: Castration is done through two different procedures: In surgical castration, the testes are surgically removed from both the sides. Thus, the effects of this type of castration are permanent. In medical or chemical castration, drugs are administered at regular intervals to reduce the levels of testosterone in the body, thereby reducing sexual drive and resulting in infertility. Thus, though the words ‘chemical castration’ may sound very scary, the actual procedure involves only administration of medication to a person in a tablet ( Cyproterone Acetate) or an injection form ( Leuprorelin injection) . Though chemical castration has been adopted for sexual offenders including pedophiles in several states of USA and some European countries, it still remains a debatable issue in other countries. The first case of chemical castration in Asia was recently approved by a South Korean court, while other countries including Malaysia are pushing for the same punishment. ( 3 ✔, 4 ✔) Castration has not only been done as a form of punishment or ritual, it also has a role in therapy. In 1920’s castration was performed on gay men to stop their sexual impulses but was soon given up. As mentioned previously chemical castration is most commonly used for treatment for advanced prostate cancer, to keep the growth of cancer cells in check.

Title: Leukocytosis - Causes Symptoms Diagnosis Treatment Headings: Leukocytosis Leukocytosis What is Leukocytosis? References: Content: The white blood cells (WBC) or leukocytes play an important role in the body’s immune system to fight against infections. Various types of WBCs include the neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils and basophils. The neutrophils are the most numerous, followed by the lymphocytes. These cells are produced by the bone marrow. A condition with an increased count of more than 11,000 leukocytes per cubic mm of adult human blood is termed as leukocytosis. ( 1 ✔) The WBC count is often increased as a reaction of the bone marrow to infection or inflammation. Certain bacterial and viral infection can trigger leukocytosis. Leukocytosis is also related to strong immune reactions like asthma and other allergy attacks. Some of the most serious and life-threatening cases of leukocytosis are associated with the diseases of the bone marrow. An elevated WBC count of greater than 30,000 per cubic mm of the adult human blood could indicate an underlying bone marrow disorder including leukemia or blood cancer.

Urol (Lond) Last Updated on Dec 13, 2019 About Surgical castration is a procedure where both the testes are removed. It renders the male infertile and reduces sexual urges. Surgical castration results in a permanent loss of sexual function. The procedure is done for the treatment of advanced prostate cancer and rarely for some bilateral cancers of the testes. Sometimes it maybe necessary to remove both the testis where there is a severe injury to the scrotum . ( 1) Surgical castration has been often carried out in history for other reasons too. It has been used as a form of punishment for rapists, homosexuals, as well as for prisoners of war. There has been a renewed demand in the recent past to introduce surgical castration in sexual offenders specially rapists. However, most countries have given up surgical castration for habitual sexual offenders and opt for voluntary medical castration instead, where a chemical drug is injected or a tablet is given regularly. During surgical castration, a small incision is made in the scrotum under anesthesia and both the testes are removed.

Following surgical castration, due to removal of testes, the person cannot father any children. Due to lack of testosterone following the procedure, the person loses sexual drive. However, it has been observed that the sexual drive is not lost immediately in all those castrated. Also, the sexual drive can be restored by taking testosterone injection.

Title: Is Heart Failure in African Americans a Distinct Entity? Headings: Is Heart Failure in African Americans a Distinct Entity? Congestive Heart Failure Is Heart Failure in African Americans a Distinct Entity? Abstract and Introduction Content: Despite the advances in treatment of heart failure with neurohormonal attenuation, there appears to be inconsistency in the response of African Americans compared to Caucasians. This discordance with regard to response to treatment and etiology of heart failure between African Americans and Caucasians begets the question whether heart failure in African Americans is indeed a distinct clinical entity. Mortality from heart failure is 2.5-times greater among African Americans compared to Caucasians <65 years of age. [ 1] African Americans develop heart failure at an earlier age and the hospitalization rates are substantially higher than those among Caucasians. [ 2, 3] The reason for the worse morbidity and mortality in African American heart failure patients is unclear, thus begetting the question of whether heart failure in African Americans is truly a distinct clinical entity. In order to answer this question one must consider not only the etiology of heart failure but also the relative response to conventional heart failure therapy and participation in heart failure trials from which the evidence-based data are collated. Although there are multiple etiologies for heart failure, the predominant factor in the United States is coronary artery disease. However, in African Americans the relative prevalence of hypertension as an attributable etiology of heart failure is substantially higher than among Caucasians ( Table 1 ). Also the severity of hypertension as well as associated end-organ damage such as end-stage renal disease, left ventricular hypertrophy, and coronary artery disease is comparatively worse in African Americans than in the general population. [ 3] Many investigators have demonstrated racial differences in the relative efficacy of various antihypertensive agents. [

[ 4, 5] The renin angiotensin system would appear to play a lesser role in the maintenance of blood pressure in African Americans compared to Caucasians. This fact is partially attributed to lower plasma renin levels as well as more hypervolemia noted in African American hypertensive patients. Blood pressure lowering with angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors may require higher doses in African Americans, but this should by no means preclude their use for both their renal-protective and endothelial enhancement effects. This is paramount given the results of the Heart Outcomes Prevention Evaluation (HOPE) trial [ 6] in which patients with known vascular disease demonstrated a reduction in cardiac events as well as the development of diabetes when treated with an ACE inhibitor. [ 6] Many investigators have shown the use of β-adrenergic blocking agents (β blockers) to be less effective anti-hypertensive agents in African Americans than Caucasians. [

Title: Diabetes Is a Major Public-Health Crisis in China Headings: Diabetes Is a Major Public-Health Crisis in China Diabetes Is a Major Public-Health Crisis in China Content: "The roughly 10-fold increase in prevalence of type 2 diabetes over the past 3 decades among Chinese adults suggests that the epidemic is driven primarily by unhealthy diet and lifestyle, along with industrialization, urbanization, and increased aging populations," said coauthor Xu Lin, MD, PhD, professor and assistant director at the Institute for Nutritional Sciences, Shanghai Institutes for Biological Sciences. Increases in the standard of living and a shift away from a more traditional Chinese lifestyle have resulted in a "mismatch" between biology and environment, Dr. Lin and colleagues write. Rapid urbanization — about half of the Chinese population now lives in cities and towns compared with 20% in the late 1970s — combined with reduced physical activity and changes in diet have helped fuel the epidemic. And both the Western diet, characterized by food abundance, increased consumption of fat, foods from animal sources, and sugar-sweetened beverages, and the traditional Chinese diet, heavily laden with rice and salt, may tip the balance toward the development of diabetes. Other contributing factors include psychosocial stress, very high rates of smoking (China has over 300 million smokers), exposure to endocrine disruptors like bisphenol A from environmental pollution, and social stratification. In addition, both maternal malnutrition and gestational diabetes (which has also increased in China) could predispose offspring to diabetes. Genetic heritability of type 2 diabetes likely also plays a large role, but studies have yet to pinpoint specific genetic factors that can explain some of the ethnic differences seen between the epidemic in China and Western countries. "Overall, China still has a long way to control the epidemic trend of obesity and type 2 diabetes," Dr. Lin emphasized. " Government, public and private enterprises, nutritional and medical researchers, and doctors need to work together, not only to have a better understanding about the key factors contributing to this epidemic, but also to provide better foods, nutrition recommendations and policies, effective public education, intervention strategies, and a friendly environment for healthy living."

" [Since 1980, age-standardized diabetes prevalence] more than doubled in men and increased by 60% in women worldwide….This rise in prevalence has been compounded by population growth and aging, nearly quadrupling the number of adults with diabetes over these 35 years," write Majid Ezzati, PhD, from Imperial College London, United Kingdom, and colleagues, all with the NCD Risk Factor Collaboration (NCD-RisC), in their paper published online April 6 in the Lancet. The research did not differentiate between type 1 and type 2 diabetes, but most cases (85%–95%) of adult diabetes are type 2, so the observed rise is likely to be due to increases in type 2 diabetes, say the scientists. And this is inextricably linked to the staggering rise in obesity worldwide, featured most recently in another Lancet publication last weekend, also by NCD-RisC with Dr Ezzati as corresponding author, indicating that obesity is now more common than underweight worldwide, as reported by Medscape Medical News. Almost One in 10 Men Has Diabetes Projected percentage of diabetes in men by 2025. Source: NCD Risk Factor Collaboration [to view a larger image, click here] The new study provides the most complete estimate of worldwide adult diabetes prevalence to date, and in conjunction, the WHO has also issued its first " Global Report on Diabetes ," detailing the magnitude of the problem, the causes, and current responses to it. More men now have diabetes then women, representing a shift from 1980, when it was the other way around. The highest prevalences of diabetes are currently found in Oceania, the Middle East, and North Africa. In these regions, diabetes prevalence is now five to 10 times higher than in Western and Northern Europe, which have the lowest prevalence rates.

The study estimates that age-adjusted prevalence of diabetes has more than doubled for men in India and China (3.7% to 9.1% in India; 3.5% to 9.9% in China) and increased by 50% among women in China (5.0% to 7.6%) and 80% among women in India (4.6% to 8.3%). Pakistan, Mexico, Egypt, and Indonesia are all now in the top 10 countries with the largest number of adults with diabetes. Age-adjusted prevalence of diabetes doubled in Pakistan, Mexico, and Indonesia for both women and men and nearly tripled in Egypt for both genders. And in the United States, age-adjusted prevalence of diabetes increased by 50% in women (4.3% to 6.4%) and by 80% in men (4.7% to 8.2%). ( These statistics conflict somewhat with the latest numbers from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which released data in December suggesting that the incidence of diabetes may actually be declining in the United States) Northwestern European countries had the lowest rates, with age-adjusted prevalence less than 4% in women and 5% to 6% in men in Switzerland, Austria, Denmark, Belgium and the Netherlands. By region, the Pacific Islands have the highest diabetes rates in the world, with Polynesia and Micronesia experiencing the greatest increases in diabetes prevalence, reaching over 20% in women and men.

Melanesia, the Middle East and North Africa followed with prevalence rates of about 15% each. The American Samoa Story Of the Pacific Island nations, American Samoa had the highest national prevalence of diabetes in 2014, with over 30% of Samoan men and women affected, and the country is also the one where women have the highest mean body mass index (BMI) in the world, notes Stephen McGarvey, PhD, of Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island, an anthropologist with extensive research experience on Samoa, who contributed to both the Lancet papers on diabetes and obesity. "The Samoans started early and went to very high levels…but there are some other nations, or even parts of nations, whose rate of change recently has [also] been very rapid," Dr McGarvey observes in a press release from his institution. Dr McGarvey cites the "nutrition transition" — a move away from traditional diet to a more Westernized diet characterized by high-calorie, high-fat processed and prepared foods — as playing a large role in what has happened in American Samoa and elsewhere in the developing world. Also, modernization has meant travel by car and bus has replaced walking, and work has become less physically demanding and more sedentary, he adds.

Targeting Obesity Is the Key to Preventing Diabetes In an editorial in the Lancet accompanying the global diabetes article, Etienne Krug, MD, MPH, director of the department of management of noncommunicable diseases, disability, violence and injury prevention, WHO, Geneva, Switzerland, says: " The news is not good. With diabetes in the World Health Day spotlight, the question is, how will the world and its leaders respond to the alarm?"

Targeting and reducing obesity is a major issue that needs to be addressed worldwide, he stresses, noting, "If we are to halt the rise in diabetes, we need to focus on prevention. We need to make sure we halt the rise in overweight and obesity." Tackling obesity will require societywide efforts, taxation measures, working with the private sector for better food labeling, improving education about the contents of food and the importance of physical activity, and urban planning that promotes walking and cycling safely to school and work. Also important is the promotion of breast feeding and encouragement in healthier eating at a very young age, for establishing good habits. "In addition to prevention, we also need to limit the consequences of diabetes," he stresses, calling for better and earlier diagnosis and access to treatment. For example, three-quarters of low-income countries do not have adequate access to insulin, as indicated in the WHO 2016 Global Diabetes report, Dr Krug explains. And the work by Dr Ezzati and colleagues estimates the direct annual costs of diabetes worldwide to be approximately $825 billion in 2014.

Title: Obesity in Children Quadruples Their Risk of Type 2 Diabetes Headings: Obesity in Children Quadruples Their Risk of Type 2 Diabetes Obesity in Children Quadruples Their Risk of Type 2 Diabetes Type 2 Diabetes Rising in Parallel With Obesity Content: Obesity in Children Quadruples Their Risk of Type 2 Diabetes News > Medscape Medical News Obesity in Children Quadruples Their Risk of Type 2 Diabetes April 26, 2017 1 Read Comment Children who are obese have a fourfold increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes compared with their normal-weight counterparts, UK investigators have found in an electronic health record study. Examining data on more than 350,000 children, the researchers determined that although the number of type 2 diabetes cases remains relatively low in comparison with type 1 diabetes in children, the incidence of the former has risen markedly in recent years, to a rate of more than 33 per 100,000 children in 2013, and is a strongly associated with obesity. The research was published online on April 25 in the Journal of the Endocrine Society, an open-access journal introduced in January this year. Speaking to Medscape Medical News, lead author Ali Abbasi, MD, PhD, from the department of primary care and public-health sciences, King's College London, United Kingdom, said that it is important that general practitioners, family doctors, and society at large are aware of these trends. This represents "an important public-health message," he stressed, adding: " We have to invest in…research projects to understand the trends, including trends in obesity, in this generation of children and how we should prioritize prevention and interventions in the future." Although recent studies have suggested that approximately one-third of children in the United Kingdom are overweight or obese, there has been little study of the association between obesity and temporal trends in the incidence of diabetes in this age group. In the United States, a recent analysis of private healthcare insurance claims data showed that the number of children and adolescents diagnosed with type 2 diabetes has more than doubled in recent years, and the increase appears to be coincident with a rise in obesity rates. Type 2 Diabetes Rising in Parallel With Obesity Dr Abbasi and colleagues therefore examined medical health records from the UK Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD) database, comprising 375 primary-care practices in England. Specifically, they collected demographic data on individuals aged 2 to 15 years who had their body mass index (BMI) measured between 1994 and 2013, alongside any diagnosis of diabetes more than 12 months after the start of an individual's CPRD record.

Children were deemed to have type 1 diabetes if they were prescribed insulin but not an oral glucose-lowering medication. Type 2 diabetes was defined as: a diagnosis of the disease, an oral glucose-lowering medication prescription only, or a diabetes mellitus diagnosis/HbA 1c ≥6.5% without an insulin prescription. The population consisted of 369,362 individuals with an available BMI. The mean age was 8.8 years, and 49.5% were female.

Title: Obesity in Children Quadruples Their Risk of Type 2 Diabetes Headings: Obesity in Children Quadruples Their Risk of Type 2 Diabetes Obesity in Children Quadruples Their Risk of Type 2 Diabetes Type 2 Diabetes Rising in Parallel With Obesity Content: Overall, 12.3% of the individuals were overweight, while 16.7% were classified as obese. There were 654 incident cases of type 2 diabetes and 1318 cases of type 1 diabetes during the study period. The incidence of type 2 diabetes increased from 6.4 per 100,000 persons in 1994–1998 to 33.2 per 100,000 persons in 2009–2013, while that for type 1 diabetes between the same two time periods increased from 38.2 to 562.1 per 100,000 persons. The incidence of type 2 diabetes increased significantly among children who were overweight, from 0 per 100,000 persons in 1994–1998 to 22.8 per 100,000 persons in 2009–2013 ( P = .01), and among those who were obese, from 5.7 to 103.3 per 100,000 persons ( P < .01). Obese individuals, who made up 47.1% of type 2 diabetes cases, had a significantly increased risk of incident type 2 diabetes compared with normal-BMI individuals, at an odds ratio of 3.7 and an incidence rate ratio of 4.33. Examining BMI as a continuous variable, the team also found that each one-standard-deviation increase in BMI Z-score was associated with an odds ratio of incident type 2 diabetes of 1.6. There were no significant associations between obesity or BMI and the risk of developing type 1 diabetes. The team says: " Taken together, we update observational evidence that the rate of type 2 diabetes incidence, although less common than type 1, is rising among the UK children and young adults in parallel with increasing childhood obesity over the past decades." Dr Abbasi noted that the study raises some questions as to how to prioritize investment in type 2 diabetes prevention and management in children and young adults, such as: "

This is especially important, he emphasized, as children who develop type 2 diabetes "are at risk of developing other complications" and the total healthcare and public costs, as well as overall burden, of diabetes is likely to be higher than in someone who develops the disease later in life.

So how exactly do insurance companies calculate your risk of becoming disabled? Individual disability income insurance requires underwriting. Whereas group plans help insurers spread their risk among a large group of policyholders, issuing an individual policy requires the insurance companies to assess the risk of a single applicant. Before you get caught up in the cost, it helps to understand the various factors that insurance companies look at when assessing risk. Your age The older you get, the more likely you are to become disabled. Naturally, the cost of disability insurance increases as you age. That’s why buying disability insurance is a smart investment for healthy young professionals. Your gender All other factors being equal, women can pay up to 40 percent higher premiums for disability insurance.

They do have an impact whether good or bad. They affect our lives in ways that we may not even know. One of the most influential, and controversial, inventions has been that of the telephone. When the telephone was introduced it was met with some resistance and a few technical problems. As time passed it became so accepted that almost everyone in the western world had a telephone. The telephone was marketed in that it would increase revenue, employment, and an improve communication (Robertson 230). Like most new technology the telephone at first could only be afforded by the rich. To make telephone usage less expensive, coin operated and metered telephones were introduced as well as the party line in which numerous households were connected to the same line. The largest impact of the telephone was the effect on rural life.

Title: What does Justice mean to Me? essays Headings: What does Justice mean to Me? Bibliography 4 Pages 945 Words More Essays: Content: What does Justice mean to Me? essays What does Justice mean to Me? Bibliography 4 Pages 945 Words I'll start by defining the "justice." Justice is a noun meaning the quality of conforming to principles of reason, to generally accepted standards of right and wrong, and to the stated terms of laws, rules, agreements, etc., rightfulness or lawfulness, as of a claim, the administering of deserved punishment or reward, the maintenance or administration of what is just according to law, decisions regarding the treatment of individuals or the disposition o cases, as in a court. There are many other definitions of the word but these to me are important when you began to think about "justice". Justice to me is when the law is applied according to way that it was written, as the law is written to help one both sides of case. As I sit a think about this more sometimes justice is not when the offender is given a life sentence for a crime that they have committed, it is when the person who has committed the crime gets the help he/she needs that they want commit that crime again. In today's society people believe that justice is when the offender gets what they have coming to them. Justice is about helping both the victim/victim family or even the offender to heal the hurt.

It is respect for the rights of others, fairness and equality of treatment, the common good; and honesty and truth in our relationships." Justice where the law is concerned is that you should follow the exact wording of the law.

ALL STATISTICS Bullying Nearly 1 in 5 students ( 21%) report being bullied during the school year, impacting over 5 million youth annually (National Center for Education Statistics [NCES], 2018) Youth who are bullied are at increased risk for depression, anxiety, sleep difficulties, lower academic achievement, and dropping out of school (CDC, 2018) Almost all forms of bullying peak in middle school, specifically 6th-grade students reported the highest percentage of bullying ( 29%) (NCES, 2019) CYBERBULLYING Approximately 34% of students report experiencing cyberbullying during their lifetime (Hinduja & Patchin, 2015) Over 60% of students who experience cyberbullying reported that it immensely impacted their ability to learn and feel safe while at school (Hinduja, 2018) 59% of U.S. teens have been bullied or harassed online, and over 90% believe it's a major problem for people their age (Pew Research Center, 2018) Self-Harm Targets of cyberbullying are at a greater risk than others of both self-harm and suicidal behaviors (John et al., 2018) Approximately 18% of youth report self-harming at least once, impacting 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 10 boys (Monto, McRee, & Deryck, 2018) About 6% of students have digitally self-harmed, or anonymously posted online or shared hurtful content about themselves (Patchin & Hinduja, 2017) Suicide Students who experienced bullying or cyberbullying are nearly 2 times more likely to attempt suicide (Hinduja & Patchin, 2018) Current research suggests that suicide ideation and attempts among adolescents have nearly doubled since 2008 (Plemmons et al., 2018), making suicide the 2nd leading cause of death for individuals 10-34 years of age (CDC, 2017) Approximately 1 in 20 adolescents experience suicide in a single year (Andriessen, Dudley, Draper, & Mitchell, 2018) mental health Experience of bullying and cyberbullying are also associated with the development of low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, family problems, academic difficulties, delinquency, school violence, and suicidal thoughts/attempts (Hinduja, 2018) Approximately 1 in 5 children and youth in the US experience a serious mental health concern associated with trauma, social isolation, and bullying, yet only 20% of them receive the help they need (CDC, 2019) Research has found that about 90% of individuals who die by suicide experience mental illness, one of the greatest risk factors for suicide (National Alliance on Mental Illness [NAMI], 2015) Discrimination Students most often reported reasons for being bullied that include physical appearance, race/ethnicity, gender, disability, religion, and/or sexual orientation (NCES, 2016) Overall, approximately 135,200 individual allegations of harassment or bullying on the basis of sex, race, sexual orientation, disability, or religion during the 15-16 school year (U.S. Department of Education & OCR, 2019) 17% of students reported experiencing one type of bias-based bullying, specifically gender, race, and disability being the most common reasons for being targeted, which increases the student’s fear of being harmed, school avoidance, and negative effects on physical, psychological, and academic well-being (NCES, 2016) Bullying Intervention Nearly 76% of public schools reported providing training for classroom teachers or aides on recognizing physical, social, and verbal bullying behaviors (NCES, 2018) The strongest protective factor against being a target of cyberbullying was positive peer interaction (Zycha, Farrington, & Ttofi, 2018) Developing a positive school climate is consistently associated with lower rates of bullying and cyberbullying behaviors (Hinduja & Patchin, 2016), specific anti-bullying and anti-cyberbullying programs effectively reduce school-bullying behaviors by anywhere 10 – 20% (Gaffney, Ttofi, & Farrington, 2018; Gaffney, Farrington, Espelage, & Ttofi, 2018) crime, violence, & law enforcement During the 2015–16 school year, 79% of public schools recorded that one or more incidents of violence, theft or other crimes had taken place (U.S. Department of Education & NCES, 2019) 6% of students had been threatened or injured with a weapon on school property 1 or more times and about 4% of students ages 12–18 reported that they had been afraid of attack or harm at school during the school year (U.S. Department of Education & NCES, 2019) There is a strong relationship between bullying behaviors and violent injury over time (Jetelina et al., 2018)

Title: California Megans Law Headings: Myths and Facts About Sexual Assault Myths and Facts About Sexual Assault Most men who commit sexual offenses do not know their victim. Most sexual assaults are committed by someone of the same race as the victim. Most child sexual abusers use physical force or threat to gain compliance from their victims. Most child sexual abusers find their victims by frequenting such places as schoolyards and playgrounds. Only men commit sexual assault. Child sexual abusers are only attracted to children and are not capable of appropriate sexual relationships. Victims of sexual assault are harmed only when offenders use force. If a child does not tell anyone about the abuse, it is because he or she must have consented to it. It is common for both child and adult victims of sexual assault to wait some time before telling someone about the abuse. If someone sexually assaults an adult, he will not target children as victims, and if someone sexually assaults a child, he will not target adults. It helps the victim to talk about the abuse. Sexual gratification is often not a primary motivation for a rape offender. Offenders could stop their sexually violent behavior on their own if they wanted. Men who rape do so because they cannot find a consenting sexual partner. Drugs and alcohol cause sexual offenses to occur. Victims of sexual assault often share some blame for the assault. If a victim does not say "no" or does not "fight back," it is not sexual assault. False reports of rape or child molestation are common, for many reasons. Content: Most child sexual abusers find their victims by frequenting such places as schoolyards and playgrounds. False. Most child sexual abusers offend against children whom they know and with whom they have established a relationship. Many sexual assaults of adult women are considered "confidence rapes," in that the offender knows the victim and has used that familiarity to gain access to her. Only men commit sexual assault. False. While most sex offenders are male, sometimes sex offenses are committed by female offenders. Child sexual abusers are only attracted to children and are not capable of appropriate sexual relationships. False. While there is a small subset of child sexual abusers who are exclusively attracted to children, the majority of the individuals who sexually abuse children are (or have previously been) attracted to adults.

More than any physical injuries the victim sustains, the violation of trust that accompanies most sexual assaults has been shown to dramatically increase the level of trauma the victim suffers. Emotional and psychological injuries cause harm that can last much longer than physical wounds. If a child does not tell anyone about the abuse, it is because he or she must have consented to it.
