Answer:

In order to accurately evaluate progress in a flexibility workout regimen, it is important to establish a baseline level of flexibility and then to track progress during the regimen from that starting point. A baseline establishes where an individual is before starting a program; without a baseline, it would be difficult to know how much progress has been made as a result of the workout regimen. Tracking progress during a regimen is important because that information establishes the effectiveness of the regimen.

Lisa [10]

I will be using the Tessa as the patient and my point of view as the friend working in the medical field.

I would inform Tessa that she needs to personally update her account. If she can not, it would be better for her to write an authorization letter wherein it will state that she is giving authority to me, her friend, to update her account in her behalf.

Having an authorization letter from the patient is sign that the patient is fully aware that her records will be seen and updated by me, the third person. Patient's authorization letter signifies that her patient privacy is still being protected because I only act in behalf of the patient limited to the actions authorized in the letter.

I can't automatically update my friends patient's account without her written consent or authorization letter because it will be a breach of protecting patient privacy.

Answer:

"Jimmy has an increased risk of high cholesterol and high blood pressure."
"Jimmy has an increased risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes."

Explanation:

To answer this question, we just need to know the following:

What's the average amount of body fat one should have?

According to the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition and WebMD, men aged 20 to 39 should have 8%-19% body fat, and women of the same age group should have 21%-32% body fat. UCSDB ScienceLine states, "Before adolescence average body fat is 18% in both boys and girls. However, after age 13 boys drop 2-3% in body fat and girls gain 8-10% in body fat," (due to puberty). We know that Jimmy is a high school student, and high schoolers are typically 14-18. Thus, he should be nowhere near 33% of body fat to have the adequate amount, nor is he underweight.

With this information, we can rule out, "Jimmy is likely underweight and may be malnourished," and, "Jimmy has a healthy body composition and has adequate fat stores."

What increases the risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure? Does body fat have to do with it?

According to The Obesity Action Coalition, "Being 'overweight' (BMI of 25-29.9), or affected by obesity (BMI of 30-39.9) or severe obesity (BMI of 40 or greater), greatly increases your risk of developing type 2 diabetes."

According to WebMD, "So being overweight or obese can raise your chances of high triglycerides and, in turn, high cholesterol..."

According to Cleveland Clinic, "How are obesity and heart disease related? Obesity affects more than 40% of the U.S. population. The excess fat in obesity was originally thought to be harmless (benign). However, we now know that excess fat causes chemical changes in your blood that increase your heart disease risk."

According to WebMD, "As your body weight increases, your blood pressure can rise. In fact, being overweight can make you more likely to develop high blood pressure than if you are at your desirable weight."

Note: "Body fat percentage distinguishes fat from muscle and calculates the percentage of body fat in the body. While BMI is a rough estimate of body fat, body fat percentage is a more accurate number. BMI, but not overfat" (Goshen Health).

To conclude, the most logical answers would be, "Jimmy has an increased risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes," and,"Jimmy has an increased risk of high cholesterol and high blood pressure."

Hope that helps! <3

8. Edible vaccines, a more controversial approach to vaccine development, have been investigated by scientists. Plants can be ge

IceJOKER [234]

After some research I found the important parts mostly bolded

Advantages:

1) Although the technology at first seems like something done for convenience rather than being something of significant utility, the fact is that poorly developed nations like India which have a relatively poor vaccination program are most likely to benefit from such a vaccine.
This is also the reason why many of the projects mentioned here (including Arntzen's early work) have been funded by the WHO.

2) Mucosal immunity : The vaccines which are given parenterally (e.g. Intramuscularly) induce a systemic response but little or no local immune response in the GI tract. This so called "mucosal immunity " is increasingly being considered very important for defense against GI pathogens. ( Remember OPV..)

3) And of course, it's painless and convenient

Disadvantages:

1) The vaccine dose would be inadequate if the patient eats only one banana/potato instead of the recommended two. Furthermore, there might be difficulties in judging the dose itself since the amount of antigen in each fruit cannot be accurately measured.

2) The risk of introducing a new gene into the Plant DNA population is not known. The gene may jump species and propagate into other plants (or wild varieties of the same plants).
This may cause unpredictable results including a decrease in the number or even extinction of a particular plant species due to growth stunting caused by the viral/bacterial gene. (This has been known to occur in research studies, including Arntzen's)

3)"Oral Tolerance": In another concern, scientists need to be sure that vaccines meant to enhance immune responses do not backfire and suppress immunity instead. Research into a phenomenon called oral tolerance has shown that ingesting certain proteins can at times cause the body to shut down its responses to those proteins.
This may cause the body to become more susceptible to a particular disease agent rather than become immunized against it.
