The patient has been facing symptoms including increased thirst, frequent urination, unexplained weight loss, and fatigue. Having these symptoms causes his body to not be able to start cellular respiration, Electron Transport Chain, and the Krebs cycle. The patient's blood glucose level, intracellular glucose levels, and interstitial levels are out of range. The blood glucose levels normal range is between 78-108 mg/dL, but the patients is 130 mg/dL. High blood glucose levels makes your blood mucky. This slows down circulation which causes the cells to not get oxygen and the nutrients that they need. This also causes people to be fatigue. Since he is fatigue he is unable to do cellular respiration. As the cells run out of oxygen they change

As we go through our daily routine in our jobs in any medical facilities, we are bound to make an occasional error. Misspelling a word on a chart may be one of them. If you make a mistake while you are writing in a patient's medical chart, just draw one straight line through the word and put your initials to the top right of it, and write what you meant to say next to it. Do not make any big swirly lines through the incorrect word. The chart must look as neat and professional as possible. You might try to keep track of the mistakes you make so you can be sure not to make them in the future. Common sense, I know. But this could make a huge difference in the medical profession concerning someone's life.
So, I offered to participate in the coaching on his chronic condition. I ask on his most essential life goals and start addressing any discrepancies between the patient health care behaviors and his goal. I teach him about the P binders intake in relation to food as well as high potassium food and label reading every time he shops. I show him the skill of interpreting glucometer reading in relation to exercises, food, and medications and fluid intake control related to no urine elimination and weight gain between treatments. After one month, his phosphorus came back less than 5.5, potassium keeps between 4.8-5, A1C drops to 6.8, and weight gain between treatment no longer rises more than 2 kilograms.

A stress fracture may be one of the most provoking injuries a runner can develop. Runners just always want to improve their personal best time and challenge themselves on how far they can run. But runners never pay attention to what they can do to their feet in the long term. This fracture usually occurs after a sudden increase in activity, and result from overuse. As a runner’s distance increases or intensity of the run, adjustment of the muscles may occur rapidly than bones. The human foot has five metatarsal bones. The big toe is labeled number one; the little toe is number five. Metatarsal stress fractures happen typically in numbers two, three, and four bones enduring the greatest shock when the foot strikes the ground. This becomes imbalance and accommodated when the exercise routine is advance gradually. When muscular contractions are rapid in can overcome the re-modeling bony architecture, and the bone cannot take any more stress, the crack occurs and metatarsal stress fracture develops.

Upon concluding my neurobiology course, I spent some time reflecting on what I've learned about the nervous system and its functions. I thought about how much progress has been made in the last couple of decades alone in defining and understanding certain aspects of neuronal functions, and must admit that I am very impressed. However, there is still so much we don't know about this area, and nowhere has this notion proved more true than in my exploration of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. As will soon be clear, this disease is highly debilitating and can greatly lower the quality of an individual's life, yet to date there are no definite findings about the etiology of this illness. But even more importantly, this illness shows the importance of understanding and being able to assess the different workings of our nervous system and its complex nature. Unfortunately, the study of this same disease also shows the human inability to yet do so.

Fatigue in aviation has always been a significant issue when it comes to the safety of the crew and passengers. Fatigue in flight is not the only issue. There is also a serious safety issue in other areas of aviation such as maintenance, air traffic control (ATC), and even in areas such as baggage claim and gate security. One can find evidence of fatigue in just about every aspect of daily life. A majority of vehicle accidents can be contributed to fatigue in one way or another. One can even see it in the late night college student trying to finish a paper before its deadline.
