Vitamin K, a fat-soluble vitamin synthesized by plants, is found in large quantities within green leafy vegetables, such as collard, mustard, turnip and spinach. These greens are commonly cooked with fat to enhance flavor. The vitamin K in these greens can leach out during cooking into the liquid portion of the pot, which is referred to as potlicker. Vitamin K activates clotting factors (II, VII, IX, and X,), which can lead to the formation of a thromboembolism (blood clot). People at a higher risk of forming blood clots are often prescribed warfarin, an anti-coagulant that acts as a competitive inhibitor …

7.5% of Hispanics in the United States suffer from asthma-related diseases, and Latino children are not as likely to use preventative asthma medications as compared with Caucasians. Educational interventions may reduce the number of visits to emergency-care. The reasons for non-adherence are currently unknown, and discovering these reasons will help to address the problem.

A woman dies every 2 minutes due to HPV related illness. Cervical cancer is the 5th most common cancer worldwide, with approximately 471,000 new cases diagnosed each year. There is a decreased risk of HPV related illnesses with vaccine development. However, lack of uptake is suspected to be impacted by parental knowledge deficit. Previously, these illnesses received little attention by parents and healthcare providers, even with the very evident increase in newly diagnosed patients. Without education, rate of infection will continue to increase as vaccine uptake remains stagnant. The purpose of this study is to determine how education from healthcare …

Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disease, leading to changes of membrane secretions causing obstruction of smaller airways. CF patients often develop pulmonary infections and require antibiotic treatment. Meropenem is a broad spectrum beta lactam that acts by lysing microbes through interfering with bacterial cell wall synthesis. Although a safe and effective treatment, data on pediatric patients is limited.
