AI Summary
This assignment presents a 5-minute Vodcast on Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, focusing on the pathophysiology and pharmacological management for a specific 'person/client.' The assignment, part of Australian Catholic University's BIOL122 Human Biological Science 2 course, requires students to demonstrate effective communication through video, audio, and written content. The student's solution incorporates research from various sources, including Abdul-Ghani & DeFronzo (2018), DeFronzo (2018), Mann et al. (2017), Maruthur et al. (2016), and Miranda-Diaz et al. (2014), to provide a comprehensive overview of the disease, its progression, and the impact of different treatments, such as insulin and metformin, on patients. The solution also addresses how hyperglycemia leads to other complications such as myocardial infarction and neuropathy. The assignment is designed to assess students' understanding of a National Health Priority Area and their ability to present scientific information in an accessible format.
