1. NAFLD

The number one cause of liver disease in children and adolescents in the US is nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) (Hays & McGinnis, 2018). Obesity is the cause of an increasing rate of liver disease. Risk factors for NAFLD besides obesity include hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and diabetes. NAFLD can progress to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) (Hays & McGinnis, 2018). Pediatric screening should start between 8-11 years old for children who are obese BMI > 95th percentile; 9-11 years old who are overweight BMI >85th percentile (Hays & McGinnis, 2018). Early identification of risk factors and lifestyle modifications can improve patient outcomes.

2. Pancreatic cancer

Pancreatic Cancer (PC) in the US has increased over the last 10 years and accounts for 3% of all cancers (Lo, 2018). Men have a higher prevalence of PC than women and its greater in African Americans than Caucasian Americans. PC only has a 5 year survival rate of 8%, while 5% to 10% of cases are genetic or familial 90% are sporadic (Lo, 2018). Newly diagnosed diabetes individuals are considered high risk for pancreatic cancer and should be screened. Approximately half of those with PC also have diabetes and symptoms for PC may not present until later in the disease progression. It is impractical to screen all individual with new onset diabetes for PC those at high risk should be identified screened. Early detection of cancer improves outcome and could be reduce mortality.

Unfortunately, there currently lacks a cost effective early screening biomarker for PC.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
