They are both Caucasian and needs diet, exercise and diabetes education. Poor nutrition is a habit for those who does not smokes does not drink does not exercise has metabolic X syndrome.

Using immunocytochemistry, it is possible to detect with certainty the presence of ANP in the granules (Cantin, 1985). In the guinea pig heart ANP-immunoreactivity was detected in all granules, from all cardiocytes in the four regions of the atrial-auricular complex. Great amount of gold particles related to the granules has been observed, as well as less electron dense material near to them (Figures 3 and 4) (Gama et al., in press). In many species, including the guinea pig, the ANP-granules are also present in the ventricles (Mifune et al., 1992). It was also verified in dogs that the removal of the auricle bilaterally eliminates the ANP release (Stewart et al., 1992). It was demonstrated that there were significant differrences in granule diameter among the regions of the atrial-auricular complex. The average diameter of the granules in the right atrium was larger than in the other regions. The distribution of the granules diameter from the right atrium was displaced towards larger values compared to data from the left atrium and auricles. According to the observations of Mifune et al. (1996), in various mammalian species the fewer number of granules the cardiocyte had, the smaller the granule size became, suggesting that the number of granules is possibly related to the granule size. The granule size is therefore possibly determined by the number of granules in the cardiocytes in the species (Mifune et al., 1996). The ratio of peptide content in the right atrium was larger than in the auricles and may indicate a more important endocrine role in right atrium than in left atrium and auricles.

Recommended for mental health professionals, this workbook is a useful training resource for groups or self-study to enhance their understanding of family roles and their effectiveness in collaborating with family members. Family members can use this practical workbook to better understand their own changing roles in the rehabilitation process of their family member(Birse, 1998).

The purpose of the study reported here is to determine the relationship between family systems functioning, family health role, and family utilization of health services. The research is based in the Circumplex Model of Marital and Family Systems (Olson, Sprenkle, & Russel, 1979). Family functioning variables include family level of cohesion, family adaptability, and family type, as measured by FACES II. Family health role (i.e., leadership role and acceptance of sick role) and utilization of health services are measured by scales of the investigator-developed Family Health Questionnaire. The sample consists of 140 parents of 70 families, ...
