The cells are located in the pancreas, and they are responsible for producing insulin. The ensuing deficient in insulin results in amplified urine and blood glucose. IDDM is a chronic disease resulting in high mortality rate throughout the globe. The disease is not curable, but patients learn to manage it throughout their lifetime. Some of the classical symptoms of the disease include loss of weight, urinating frequently, extreme thirst as well as hunger (Cooke & Plotnick, 2008).
The symptoms can be the same as type 1 3 .The causes of : * Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition. Your immune system (the body's natural defence against infection and illness) mistakes the cells in your pancreas as harmful and attacks them, destroying them completely or damaging them enough to stop them producing insulin.It's not known exactly what triggers the immune system to do this * In type 2 there are several reasons why the pancreas doesn't produce enough insulin.Four of the main risk factors for developing type are: * age – being over the age of 40 (over 25 for South Asian people) * genetics – having a close relative with the condition (parent, brother or sister) * Weight – being overweight or obese * ethnicity – being of South Asian, Chinese, African-Caribbean or black African origin (even if you were born in the UK) 4. Common symptoms of t diabetes include: * Excessive thirst * Increased urination (sometimes as often as every hour) * Unexpected weight loss * Fatigue or tiredness * Nausea, perhaps vomiting * Blurred vision * In women, frequent vaginal
In CKD, about 90% of nephrons are typically involved. CKD is a disorder with a complex etiology involving many interrelated factors. Diabetes mellitus is a known risk factor for renal failure. 2. What additional information in Louellen's history may be related to the onset of ESRD?
If this fails, a pancrelipase and sodium bicarbonate solution may be instilled in order to "digest" the clog. Metabolic complications: Metabolic complications of enteral nutrition are similar to those that occur during PN, although the incidence and severity may be less. Careful monitoring can minimize or prevent metabolic complications. Refeeding syndrome: Refeeding of severely malnourished patients may result in "refeeding syndrome" in which there are acute decreases in circulating levels of potassium, magnesium, and phosphate. The sequel of refeeding syndrome adversely affect nearly every organ system and include cardiac dysrhythmias, heart failure, acute respiratory failure, coma, paralysis, nephropathy, and liver dysfunction.
Cardiac case study Case Study #2 Professor: Methavichit Sandra Martin 10/01/2013 Case Study Questions: Myocardial Infarction 1. What is the significance of an elevated ST segment inversion on an EKG and the PVCs the nurse sees on the monitor? It is Hypoxic Injury. Rapid discharges that record on the monitor as back-to-back PVCs tells us that his heart is getting ischemia. Usually requires more aggressive treatment such as reperfusion therapy.
Pharmacist-led telehealth disease management in patients with diabetes and depression. Junior Investigator: Lisa B. Cohen Senior Investigator: Paul A. Pirragilia, M.D. Abstract Rationale: There is a high prevalence of major depression and significant depressive symptoms in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). Co-morbid depression in diabetes results in decreased adherence to diabetes self-care and attenuates the effects of medical interventions. A pharmacistled diabetes case management program at the Providence VA Medical Center has improved treatment adherence, glycemic control and cardiac risk reduction in patients with concomitant diabetes and mental illness.
The traditional risk factors for coronary artery disease are high LDL cholesterol, low HDL cholesterol, high blood pressure, family history, diabetes, smoking, being post-menopausal for women and being older than 45 for men, obesity may also be a risk factor. Once the inner wall of an artery is damaged, fatty deposits (plaques) made of cholesterol and other cellular waste products tend to accumulate at the site of injury in a process called atherosclerosis. If the surface of these plaques breaks or ruptures, blood cells called platelets will clump at the site to try to repair the artery. This clump can block the artery, leading to a heart attack. Lifestyle changes and medicines can help control CAD.
Left side failure is the most common failure which leads to fluids backing up in your lungs leading to shortness of breath. Right side failure leads to swelling in your feet and legs. There are several factors that can lead to congestive heart failure, CAD, hypertension, myocarditis, myocardial infarction, congenital heart defect diabetes. African descent is more likely have heart failure and to die from it.Heart failure can be chronic or acute. Chronic heart failure means ongoing, acute means it started suddenly.
Outline for Informative Speech Thesis: Today, I want to discuss what diabetes is and how it affects people daily. I. Diabetes is a disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin. a. Insulin is hormone that helps food turn into energy for daily life b. It is the 6th leading cause of death by disease an it cannot be cured c. It is estimated that there are 23.6 million Americans with diabetes; 5.7 million of them are undiagnosed. (The World Almanac and Book of Facts 01-01-2010) II.
Like many illness, there are different classifications of DI. Central Diabetes Insipidus is the most common. Damage to the pituitary gland causes a disruption of the standard storage and release of ADH. Another form of DI is Nephrogenic DI. This is the result of the kidneys being incapable of responding to ADH.
