@BSCIProf@BSCIProf Yes I drink a glass of chocolate milk probably every other day. I consume about 400 mg of calcium every day and 300 IU of Vitamin D. Adequate amounts of vitamin D absorb calcium and promote bone growth, while calcium is required for the formation of bones #BSCI421
@BSCIProf I’ve toured through townships in South Africa that deal with this and it’s very sad to see. Pumping well water to take baths in and using buckets to go to the bathroom in. We spent the day with them played soccer with them and they’re all very happy kids. Appreciate what you have
@BSCIProf how can you prevent trachoma infection? What does this infection do? How many people actively suffer from it and how many are permanently impaired by it? #BSCI421
@Pat77611855@BSCIProf Part3. In the early stages they’re treated the same because you want to prevent infection in organs and blood stream. Uncomplicated Malaria is more common than severe. #BSCI421
@Pat77611855@BSCIProf Part2. Anemia, ARDS, low blood pressure, acute kidney failure, Hyperparasitemia, hypoglycemia and should be treated urgently and aggressively. #BSCI421
@BSCIProf@BSCIProf the worst sanitation and drinking water goes to Central African Republic, right behind Chad and Kenya. Approximately 17% of the worlds population are without improved water and 41% are without improved sanitation. #BSCI421
@BSCIProf@BSCIProf part 1// there are too many counties to list off that have adequate sanitation and drinking water but the regions that do: Oceania, N. America and Europe, Eastern Asia & southwest Asia, Latin America all have safely managed drinking water. Specifically Finland is #1
@BSCIProf Why is it important for Costa Rica to maintain its policies, procedures, and practices for malaria prevention control? What can determination towards this goal award Costa Rica? #BSCI421 https://t.co/Lf51U1XCgt
@Chantal91054735@BSCIProf Director of WHO's global malaria programme states that a lack of resources and ineffective anti-malaria campaigns are to blame for the increase in cases. Venezuela migrants fleeing the crisis are carrying the mosquito-borne disease into parts of Latin America #BSCI421
@BSCIProf@BSCIProf There are about 1700 cases of Malaria a year in the US according to the CDC. This could definitely increase with more travelers each year taking less precaution because of cost management or poor judgment etc. #BSCI421
@BSCIProf Malaria was eliminated from the US in 1951. This was done through DDT application in more than 4.6 million homes in the southern states of the US. Drainage, removal of mosquito breeding sites, and spraying of insecticides by aircraft also played a part in elimination. #BSCI421 /1
@BSCIProf Heart disease is the leading cause of death for women in the United States, killing 289,758 women in 2013—that’s about 1 in every 4 female deaths. What are the risk factors for this disease and what should men and women do to reduce their chances of getting it? #BSCI421
@BSCIProf@BSCIProf The purpose of the food pyramid is to emphasize the importance of eating a balanced, varied diet between the main 5 food groups: grains, fruits, veggies, dairy, and protein. In my diet I would like to eat more low-fat protein and reduce sodium intake #BSCI421
