Hyperthyroidism (Graves’ Disease) Name Institution Hyperthyroidism (Graves’ Disease) In addition to the prevalence of Graves’ disease in women, studies also show that graves’ disease impacts a woman’s reproductive health, making it harder for the patient to get pregnant or causing pregnancy complications (Quintono-Moro et al., 2014).  Women, therefore, need regular checks in case of hormonal changes to check the endocrine system for abnormalities In some cases, although few, graves’ diseases manifest as dermopathy, which is the thickening and reddening of the skin. The skin problems mostly affect areas around the shits or the top section of the feet. The thickening of the skin causes irritability, and patients may complain of skin sensitivity and swelling. Some of the more common symptoms in most patients include fatigue, changes in the menstrual cycle, frequent bowel movement, erectile dysfunction, sleep disturbances, and irregular heartbeat, among others (DeGroot, 2016). These symptoms may differ among patients. The diagnosis for graves’ disease begins with a physical exam of the patient.  Some of the expected physical symptoms of the disease include redness of…

Hummingbirds are American-born birds which make up the biological Trochilidae family. They are the smallest of birds, the majority of species having a length of 7.5–13 cm (3–5 in). Hummingbirds adjust flight velocity mainly by altering their body angle relative to horizontal (β), resulting in a difference in the angle of the stroke-plane, as well as theoretically modifying their wingbeat amplitude (ϕ), which is likely to differ based on power demands during hovering.   Hummingbirds beat their wings 8-200 times per second, their average wingtip-span ratio of 93%, they have kinematically ‘rigid’ wings compared to other species. A hummingbird can fly up to 60 miles per hour in a steep, but speeds 20-45 miles per hour in a straight flight are more common.   Hummingbirds are the largest mass-specific metabolic rate in any homeothermic animal.[3] They may be subjected to torpor, a hibernation-like condition, to store energy when food is scarce when food is low, and at night when not foraging.   Most birds produce lift only when they flap their wings downwards, but also when they invert their wings,…

Current healthcare issues     Current healthcare issue: Rapid changes in the care delivery system Over the past years, the healthcare system has been accompanied by numerous changes resulting in re-engineered workflows and re-organized care delivery systems. As much as it is easy to embrace change in the work setting, it takes time to familiarize with the new workflows and care delivery systems fully.

Descartes   Question 1 To find certainty in the Meditations, Descartes concludes that if he can remove away everything that is a source of doubt for him. What will remain after the process of elimination is what he will be sure about. At the end of this procedure, the only thing Descartes is sure of what he thinks. However, he also finds certainty that there is such a thing as God or Absolute Being because he determines that he could not feel of such a being (which is higher than he is) if it did not first exist (Newman, 1997). By doing away with doubts, Descartes is sure that what remains, in the end, will be a certainty. He determines that when the process of clearing doubt ends, what he will continue certain about eventually will be his own thoughts. Descartes has a ‘clear and distinct perception’ that he has opinions. This makes him believe that his sense of emanating from his ability to think. This is why he says, “I think; therefore, i am.” (Smith, 2001). Question 2 Descartes…

Artificial Intelligence Taking over Human Job The world is dynamic, and this means that it can undergo any change at any time.  Various changes have been experienced in the world, affecting human beings in multiple ways.

The vof technology has come along with a huge impact.  Technology has been employed in various places to carry out multiple activities that have proven effective.  On the other hand, the advancement of technology has affected human beings negatively.  For example, the development of computers has resulted in artificial intelligence, which involves the use of various features, such as robots, to carry out various human tasks.

Definition of Science and Definition of Religion The dichotomy between science and religion forces people to choose between simple positions in every decision. However, logic has proven that one cannot be a believer in science and religion at the same time. The question as to the validity of either religion or science has, therefore, taken center-stage in most debates. However, the truth of the matter may lie somewhere in between the two positions, in my opinion, and the validation of one may not necessarily invalidate the other automatically. Julian Huxley notes that evolutionary man has no room for the supernatural since he cannot take refuge in the arms of an invisible creator when he needs to plan for a future dominated by the new religion -science (notes). Einstein was also a keen observer of the links that exist between the two positions, and even wrote a book stipulating his views regarding the matter. In this paper, I will review and try to expound the views held by scientists and theologians regarding the definitions of science and religion. As stated above, my…

This is a fair method of distributing the vaccines. The reason being that it recognizes that the resources are limited in number. This recognition then makes the distribution to proceed in a manner that is based on who is at a higher risk and who is not. Thus, the people at a higher risk than the others are the first in line to be given the vaccine. The virtue theory as an ethical method that supports this method of distribution (Chakrabarty et al. 2015). The virtue theory is based on the characters of a person, where it is who a person truly is that determines the kind of actions that he or she does. Thus, a person will do the right thing not because the society or rules require him to do that, but simply because that is who he or she truly is. This also applies in the case of individuals as they discharge duties. In the scenario, the virtue ethics applies because the people in charge of the distribution are caring to the people who are at a…
