The surface of Venus was mapped in 1991 by the Magellan expedition, which revealed evidence of extensive volcanic activity on the planet--yet the timing of this volcanic activity remains a mystery. About 80 percent of Venus' surface is covered in volcanic material. Most of the volcanoes are believed to be inactive, yet there is some evidence to suggest more "recently" activity ("recent" in this context meaning within the last 500 million years). There are no lava nor caldera (craters created by volcanic collapse), which would seem to suggest the volcanoes have not been active in millennia. However, the surface of Venus has almost no impact craters, which suggests a relatively "new" surface (again, "new" referring to hundreds of millions…
any future falls (Bethal, 2015). Educate the patients about the medications that they will be taking. Such as calcitonin, inform that it can be administered in injections for a better rate of absorption. Estrogen supplements, can have complications such as increased risk for dvt and should be given along with progesterone if you still have a uterus. All biphosphates hold a danger for esophageal ulcers, chest pain, and trouble swallowing. Take biphosphates with eight ounces of water in the a.m.…
density in your bones. Also smoking, alcoholism, caffeine intake, and malnutrition are major risk factors. Malnutrition can include not enough intake of calcium. People that are lactose intolerant are also at risk. Some endocrine disorders such as hyperthyroidism, hyperparathryroidism, Diabetes Mellitus, and Cushing’s syndrome put people at risk. Major complications that occur with this disorder can be hip and wrist factures, loss of mobility and compression fractures of the spine. Osteoporosis…
the entire face and body, leaving just a mesh screen to see through and can cause many personal health and safety issues. It shuts of all peripheral vision proving to cause issues when driving and walking on doing something as simple as walking down the streets become a hassle in its own. As well as this there has been buzz amongst the medical community regarding health effects of burqa with the main issues arising from Vitamin D deficiency due to lack skin exposed to UV light. Vitamin D is…
good for people? The sun is beneficial in some ways in others harmful, such as Vitamin D, but harmful if getting skin cancer. There have been studies that have said Sun is good but a little too much of the sun be the cause much harm to a human body. The sun is giving resource, but it can cause some form of skin cancer when people get over exposed. The good in it is when it gives people vitamin D and light to see at during the day. Considering, Vitamin D is a good source that the body need and…
Video games have been transformed so much thought the years. Starting from pong in the 70’s to modern day video games. As society advances so do video games and their importance in modern culture. The more complicated we make video games the more we see there is controversy around it, but that’s not the main transformation this paper will be focusing on. The transformation I see the most would be between the Nintendo 64 to the PlayStation 4 consoles. The Nintendo 64 was a stepping stone for…
7). Given Vitamin D and Calcium’s healing properties, it’s unlikely that Glucosamine and/or Alendronate were able to achieve the pain and joint stiffness reductions alone. Therefore, the degree in which Vitamin D and Calcium impacted the findings of the study is unknown. A suggestion to avoid this co-intervention bias is to not administer vitamin D and/or Calcium or any other additional healing agent to participants. This is likely to reduce the likelihood that the results were impacted by…

amount of calcium in the body, by controlling the production of the parathyroid hormone. The calcium molecules bind to the CaSR and this activates the receptor. The activated receptor sends signals to block the production and release of the parathyroid hormone. A mutation here allows only abnormally high concentrations of calcium to activate the signaling. Patients who are at risk for primary hyperparathyroidism are women who have gone through menopause or those who have had a prolonged, severe…
