The Relationship Between Cigarette Smoking And Novel Risk Factors For Cardiovascular Disease

The participants in the home-based educational interventions will be encouraged to purchase automated home blood pressure monitoring devices. All the patients will use similar devices and will be taught how to take BP readings and record the readings correctly. A registered nurse will visit the patients on a weekly basis to validate the BP monitoring techniques and review the recorded BP readings. The participants will also be educated on the importance of adherence to medications even when HTN symptoms seem under

“I am here to start a fight, because I’m a man and that’s how I solve problems” (Phillips) The main argument presented in Brian Phillips’s essay “Man Up” is what ‘being a man’ means in the football world. In football, being a man means dealing with your problems and not being afraid to fight back physically. Phillips says that football players put on this tough guy act on the field, they fight like real men, and do not run from their problems. In this essay, Phillips argues against this idea of toughness by redefining it. All aspects of football, not just the player, but the networks and the fans treat football as a man’s sport. Phillips addresses mental/emotional issues as a problem in football by describing the abusive relationship between Richie Incognito and Jonathan Martin. Since football is a man's sport, emotional issues are just unacceptable, but Phillips challenges this idea.

SPC Tate, a medic from Bravo Team, sat in his MRAP patiently waiting to roll out the gate to their next destination. Upset that on his last week of deployment he was again tasked to go clear buildings. Agitated at his current position, he was furthermore irritated that the team tasked to replace Alpha team was late. Growing more and more impatient SPC Tate got in his vehicle and started listening to music when he felt the truck start up and begin to roll out the gate. He drifted off to sleep and before he knew it the convoy had reached it’s destination. Every one assumes their positions, stacks the door, and before you know if they’ve cleared two buildings. A successful day of hard work, almost another day down. He can taste it, one step closer to his goal of finally making it back on U.S. soil. His euphoric daydream was interrupted with a loud BANG!! He realized that a solider from Alpha Team has been injured by an IED and he quickly rushes to aid him and drag him into safety. He picks up the soldier and rushes him back to the MRAP ripping off his vest and cutting off his shirt. SPC Tate freezes in shock…HE was a SHE!!! So many thoughts ran through his head. “How do I care for her”, “what is she doing here”, “she doesn’t belong here”, “this would have never happened if she was a male”. All the training that he received suddenly became a blur. SPC Tate had never witnessed a female soldier on the battlefield. He was used to them supporting the infantry being the cooks,

The consumption of cigarettes negatively impact the health of smokers and nonsmokers exposed. In this section we will focus in the negative heath effects of consumption in smokers. The consequences of tobacco consumption to the health appeared in the early twentieth century. there are published thousands of articles and reviews of this theme and show us that smoking is related with alterations in all organs and systems.

Smoking is a major cause of coronary heart disease. A year after leaving, the risk of an attack to the heart falls to approximately the half of a smoker.

Age is important as the target for reduction in mortality from CHD, stroke and related disorders of 40% of the year 2010, established in Saving Lives: Our Healthier Nation (DoH 1999), referred to the under 75 age group. The key areas identified for intervention in the national service framework are: reducing smoking, promoting healthy eating, promoting physical activity and reducing obesity, although several other factors are known to contribute to the development of CHD. Smoking has long been known to be a factor in the development of CHD. According to Smeltzer and Bare (2000), smoking decreases blood flow to the extremities and increases heart rate and pressure via stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system, causing vasoconstriction. In addition, it raises the chances of clot formation by increasing the aggregation of platelets. Campbell (2006) suggests that the toxic components of cigarette smoke damage the endothelial lining of the blood vessels, which may initiate the development of atherosclerosis. Because carbon dioxide from the cigarette burns readily with haemoglobin, it deprives oxygen of

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2013, there were 42.1 million people in the United States that smoked cigarettes. Smoking causes many diseases such as cancer, heart

systemic and ocular vascular diseases is cigarette smoking1. It is known that smoking is especially associated with

The American Heart Association reports an even gloomier number, “Cigarette smoking is the most important preventable cause of premature death in the United States. It accounts for more than 440,000 of the more than 2.4 million annual deaths. Cigarette smokers have a higher risk of developing a number of chronic disorders. (AHA, 2005).

In the community assessment of San Fernando valley part, A, it was mentioned that there are many chronic illnesses such as heart disease, asthma, diabetes and obesity that are caused by poor health management, high cost of healthcare and inadequate knowledge of the disease. One factor that could cause these chronic diseases is the Tobacco usage among adults. According to Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention (CDC) (2017), Smoking may cause cancer, heart disease, stroke, lung disease, diabetes and COPD which includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis.

According to the NRDC, nearly 18,000 deaths from cardiovascular disease were caused by active smoking in 1990. Smoking a single cigarette can damage blood flow to your heart for people with a pre-existing coronary artery disease. Cigarette smoking has been found to be the leading cause of pulmonary illness and death in the US. In 1990, smoking cause more than 84,000 deaths anywhere from lung disease, such as pneumonia, emphysema, and chronic bronchitis.

Cigarette smokers are two to four times more likely to develop coronary heart disease than non-smokers, and tobacco use doubles risk for stroke. It also causes reduced circulation by narrowing the blood vessels, and it causes premature wrinkles because it constricts the oxygen and warmth from all parts of the body so the skin ages faster.

Smoking creates toxins in the blood. This greatly contributes to the development of atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is a condition in which fatty material is deposited along the walls of the arteries. This fatty material thickens, hardens, and can eventually block the arteries if not treated. Clots may also form around the plaque deposits. Smoking raises the levels of proteins that cause the blood to clot and also increases platelet production, making the blood stickier which further creates risk for clots. This also interferes with the blood flow and poses an added danger if they were to break off and travel through the body causeing assorted health problems such as heart attack, stroke, or gangrene.

Ernest Hemingway is considered an astounding author of his time. He wrote during the early to mid 20th century, and he has published many works that are considered classics of American literature. During his literary career, Hemingway experienced almost a decade without publishing a successful major literary work (History.com). During this time, his last successful work, For Whom the Bell Tolls, was published in 1940, and Across the River and Into the Trees, which was not received well by critics, was released in 1950. After Across the River and Into the Trees was published, reviewers thought he was through as a writer. Hemingway wrote The Old Man and the Sea to prove himself as an author by reflecting upon his life.
