How does this history of high blood pressure demonstrate the problem description and etiology components of the P.E.R.I.E. process? What different types of studies were used to establish etiology or contributory cause?
Today I am going to be choosing diabetes for my medical topic. There are several types of diabetes. There is type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes and gestastional diabetes. Our body naturally produce insulin and but sometimes there are cases where are body doesn’t produce enough insulin or does not properly respond to the insulin produced which results in high blood sugar levels. High blood sugar levels is not healthy for our bodies because it can lead to us going into a coma. If this is left untreated it can cause very serious health problems including death.

Key priorities in controlling high blood pressure can be done through patient education. This is around the time of diagnosis, outlining the causes of high blood pressure and how it can be controlled. By emphasising blood pressure does not have to control you, you can control your blood pressure (Blood Pressure, UK). Also providing dietary advice regarding healthy eating. A food management plan from a healthcare professional outlying foods to eat and avoid. Lots of fruits and vegetables and less saturated fats.
Blood pressure is a measurement of the force against the walls of your arteries as your heart pumps blood through your body. Hypertension is another term used to describe high blood pressure. This common condition increases the risk for heart disease and stroke, two leading causes of death for Americans. High blood pressure contributed to more than 362,895 deaths in the United States during 2010. Approximately 67 million persons in the United States have high blood pressure, and only half of those have their condition under control. An estimated 46,000 deaths could be avoided annually if 70% of patients with high blood pressure were treated according to published guidelines (Patel, Datu, Roman, Barton, Ritchey, Wall, Loustalot; 2014).
Hypertension can be defined as a force exerted against the wall of blood vessels. However, high blood pressure occurs when there is high pressure at the time of ventricle contraction during the systolic phase against decrease contract during diastolic phase as the ventricles relax and refill. This can be recorded as systolic over diastolic in millimeters of mercury. (Wallymahmed, M. 2008).
The media today concentrates intently on drug and alcohol abuse, homicides, AIDS, and so on. What a lot of people aren’t realizing is that coronary disease actually accounts for about 80% of sudden deaths. In fact, the number of deaths from heart disease approximately equals to the number of deaths from cancer, chronic lung disease, pneumonia and influenza, and others combined.
Blood pressure measures the force of which the blood is pushing against the arterials walls. Arteries are made up of muscles and Simi-flexible tissues this is stretched when blood passes through it but over time people that have high blood pressure the artery walls gets stretched beyond its limit and this can cause other health problems such as Vascular weaknesses at the begin of the this over extending of the arties walls creates weak places in the blood vessels, making it easier to become prone to rupture. Health problems like stroke, aneurysms and min...
Hypertension is a condition, where the force of blood pumping through body is high enough for it to cause internal damage. High blood pressure is determined by measuring the force of the blood against the blood in your arteries and the amount of resistance with the arteries. Blood pressure is measured by sphygmomanometer, this device measures the systolic and diastolic pressures in the arteries. The systolic is the top the number in blood pressure which should be around 120. While the diastolic is the bottom number is around 80. Hypertension affects your whole body in a variety of ways from the brain to the eyes.

Working Thesis: Almost forty percent of American parents refuse to vaccinate their children due to a variety of unfounded fears, like having an autistic child. Some parents fear that their child or children may have health complications. It should be mandatory, with exception, for all children of the U.S. who wish to attend school to receive required vaccinations, to fight off infectiously diseases.

The idea of replacing a bad organ with a good one has been in our heads from long time ago. The first heart transplant in animals was made by Vladimer Demikhov. Working in Moscow in 1946, he switched the hearts between two dogs, and this survived the surgery. The first heart transplant in human beings was done in South Africa in 1967 by Dr. Christiaan Barnard. The patient lived for 18 days.
