Final paper Effects of a low carbohydrate diet on energy expenditure during weight-loss maintenance: a randomized trial (2018)   Biological and genetic factors influence human body weight. Müller et al. (2016) say,” Weight loss and weight gain are associated with declines and increases in energy expenditure, which mainly follow changes in the metabolically active component of the body.”1 Since 1970, the United States has recorded an increased number of obesity cases due to glycemic load-food consumption. The effects on body weight result from an imbalance between energy intake and energy expenditure. For instance, When an individual’s total energy expenditure exceeds the energy intake, he/she losses weight. Besides, carbohydrates’ consumption increases the blood sugar level and insulin, which then converts glucose into fat, increasing body weight. On the other hand, reducing carbohydrate consumption results in weight loss. During weight loss maintenance, individuals’ diets play a vital role. As such, Ebbeling CB, Feldman HA, Klein GL, Wong JM, Bielak L, Steltz SK, Luoto PK, Wolfe RR, Wong WW, Ludwig DS carried out research to assess the effects of dietary compositions with…

          Purpose and Use of Clinical Registries Student’s Name Professor’s Name Course Details Institutional Affiliation Due Date               Purpose and Use of Clinical Registries Purpose of Registry One of the purposes of clinical registries is quality improvement. It involves integrating and analyzing operational, financial, and clinical data from all relevant sources, provision of a toolset to show the best practice for each patient, and reporting adherence to the best practices. Additionally, the benchmarking is done using clinically validated outcomes that have the measures adjusted for fair comparisons. Its robust predictive analytics engine allows for informed decisions, which enables patient-level decision support at the point of care. According to Liu et al. 2010, through the scientifically valid and relevant reports available on-demand in real-time, they allow for building trust and engaging providers in quality improvement. An example is when the Michigan Surgical Quality Collaborative in 2019 used registry data in the generation of knowledge; in procedure-specific opioid prescribing guidelines. The results were that the post patient opioid consumption dropped 30% while…

          Attention and Distractions in Remote Working       Name Institutional affiliation Instructor Course Date       Abstract Courtesy of functional human cognition and user interface features in modern computer systems, users in remote environments experience increased distractions and decreased attention during their practices and activities. Human cognition systems subject users to minimize attention in both workplace and remote environments. Human cognition systems limit the user to concentrate fully on his activities while the user interface enables individuals to interact through their computers. Many modern computers use a graphical User Interface (GUI), which is easier to use by modern-day users. The contemporary user interface makes it possible for the user to open many applications, websites, and tabs simultaneously. For instance, a user can work, browse, and listen to music at the same time. Browsing and listening to music are underlying distractors to the user, whereby in remote settings, users are more likely to yield to these distractions than in work environments. In the digital age, distractions from social media and other sites happen freely…

            Health Literacy and Informatics Name: School Affiliation: Health Literacy and Informatics Health literacy is directly related to health outcomes. Indeed, individuals who can obtain, process, and comprehend fundamental health information are likely to make better health decisions when compared to others (Weiss et al., 2005). It is in this regard that health measurement tools are utilized to understand the levels of literacy in a population. This reflection paper focuses on the process and results of administering and scoring a health literacy assessment to a family member. The barriers, the individual’s level of health literacy, communication methods, and reflection of the process are described. Barriers The health literacy assessment process was defined by two major barriers. The first one was finding the right time to administer the test.  The family member was pre-occupied with other activities, making it daunting for them to concentrate on the task. I overcame the barrier by conducting the discussing the reason behind the tests using online-based tools. The individual was hence ready to set aside time for the process. The…
