It depends, we don't know what format your bibliography needs to be in. Typically, I would say that they're in APA format. So, here's a website where you can look it up. http://www.liu.edu/cwis/cwp/library/workshop/citapa.htm
2 :
Some of the links don't work. but what you do is organize them in alphabetical order. by the author's last name. and if the piece of work doesn't have an author.... then start with the title first. you should do mla format for this, if you can "Author and/or editor names Name of the database, or title of project, book, article Any version numbers available Date of version, revision, or posting Publisher information Date you accessed the material Electronic address, printed between carets ([<, >])."

4. What is the cause of the dyspnea, hypotension, and tachycardia? 5. What type of treatment does he need?
A 21 year old noncomplaint male with a history of type I (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus was found in a coma. His blood glucose was high, as well as his urine glucose, urine ketones, and serum ketones. His serum bicarbonate was <12 mEq/L. His respiration was exaggerated and his breath had an acetone odor. His blood pressure was 90/60 and his pulse weak and rapid (120).

Looks like a test or homework question. Check your textbooks for the answers. Do an internet search. You are not going to learn having answers spoon fed for you. Y! Answers will not be available to you when it comes to taking your boards.
2 :
he needs insulin and sodium bicarb and i bet his potassium is high also.His dyspnea is probably due to the lungs trying to restore his acid base balance.I would think his low blood pressure would be due to shock and rapid pulse due to the heart trying to compensate.He most surely is severely dehydrated and has a low circulating blood volume.
3 :
The description of the patient is that of diabetic ketoacidos. He needs fluid replacement, high flow oxygen (consider intubation), and insulin. I would also run a full blood panel on a routine schedule and consider possible organ damage. As for your headline questions: dyspnea, hypotension and tachycardia can be caused by numerous things (too many to list). Common treatments are fluid replacement, adenosine and vagal maneuvers (if I remember correctly). Confirm PSVT using 12-lead EKG if available. Sorry if this isn't a complete list, but I hope it helps.
4 :
this is mostly what so called metabolic acidosis due to failure of glucose to be utilized by cells of the body in-spite high extracellular glucose level in blood. so body try to get glucose from other sources rather than carbohydrates ,like breaking down fat ..resulting in what so called ketone bodies formation circulating in blood which is acidic , treatment should be at hospital by controlled iv fluid/ insulin/ electrolyte replacement and iv bicarbonate if needed plus control of underlying cause like infection water loss inadequate insulin intake etc....
5 :
This is a serious question and a serious problem and should be answered by a professional only. What is this, a question on your examination?

Type I or II Diabetes

Type I or II Diabetes??
Time after carbohydrate meal (minutes) 0306090120 A4.17.97.47.04.0 B11.017.319.617.715.5 Blood glucose in mmoles/L Urine Test Sugar??Ketone Bodies?? ANegative0 B+++1.5 pm/L I know patient B is suffering from diabetes mellitus but is it type I or II and why?? yep have found an insulin result Patient A= 5.5 ng/ml Patient B= 0.22 ng/ml So Patient B is a Type I diabetic. Thanks for your answers.

1 :
Umm ... B may be a type 1. Did "B" take insulin with their meal? What kind? It seems to me that a type 2's insulin would be released more quickly (since their pancreas still produces) so the sugars wouldn't peak that high that fast. Those numbers look like something my daughter would get ... though if she's at 279 at the end of 2 hours then she's not getting enough insulin. This is my totally uneducated opinion :o) I'm not sure you're going to find anyone in this forum that can help you with your homework. --edit-- Mr Peachy, a type 1 does eventually come back down without insulin. The sugar comes out with their urine, that's why there's increased urination and thirst. It just doesn't come down fast enough, and usually not far enough.
2 :
Could be type two since the numbers seem to be coming back down. Not enough info to tell for sure. If the patient were a type one and wasn't treated, it would probably continue upward. The reason is, a type two produces insulin which, despite it not working all that well, will eventually bring the glucose levels down. An untreated type one has no insulin to bring the levels back to normal. Either way, this patient needs help.
3 :
You will need to know this if you are to work with diabetics. You must really understand what you are learning. B is a Type 1 because: -The very high sustained elevated blood glucose readings. -Positive urine ketones -Low insulin levels. Research autoimmune Type 1 diabetes to learn WHY this occurs, and how it is different from Type 2 diabetes.

What is Diabetes mellitus and Diabetes insipidus? Plz answer. more info below. HELPPP

What is Diabetes mellitus and Diabetes insipidus? Plz answer. more info below. HELPPP...?
For each type of diabetes: 1) What is the difference (type I and II are mellitus i think?)? 2) Which hormone/s are involved? 3) Is is because of hypersecretion or hyposecretion? 4) What are the symptoms? THANK YOU, PLEASE PLEASE HELP. :)

HMMMMM, this sounds like a paper, Not sure. type 1 results from the body's failure to produce insulin, the person will take insulin type 2 results from insulin resistance, a condition in which cells fail to use insulin. insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas. excessive thrist,hunger,urination. If untreated that's for mellitus
2 :
Diabetes mellitus. Associated with glycosuria (excessive sweet urine). Diabetes insipidus. The urine is not sweet(without taste). Caused by kidney or pituitary gland damage. Noninfectious disease. Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus. Body systems affected: Nerves. Digestion. Circulation. Endocrine. Urinary.
3 :
I refuse to do study work for other people either look it up on wikipedia or google it that way you get the amount of detail you want You are right for 1 but you forgot gestational diabetes

In untreated type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus

In untreated type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus...?
the fasting blood glucose concentration is below 4 - 6 mmol L-1 True/False??

1 :
I don't know for sure, because the measurement you are using is unfamiliar to me. Here in the US, the measurement for well controlled blood sugar is a reading between 70-120 mg/DL (milligrams per deciliter). I think your measurement is in moles and conversion from one measure to the other depends on molecular weight. But, as I recall the conversion for blood sugar is to divide 70-120 mg/DL by 18 which would yield a range of 3.8-6.6 mmol.
2 :
False. Normal fasting blood glucose is that level. Untreated diabetics have levels above 11,1 mmol/

Each of the tiles matches one of the descriptions associated with diabetes mellitus

Each of the tiles matches one of the descriptions associated with diabetes mellitus.?
•Polydipsia •Obesity •Glycosuria •Metabolic acidosis •Hyperglycaemia 1.is a feature of Type-II rather than type-I diabetes mellitus. 2.is seen when the requirment for insulin is greater than is secretion 3.causes an osmotic diuresis 4.diuresis leads to dehydration which promotes thirst and drinking. 5.can cause respiratory compensation leading to hyperventilation.

1. obesity 2. Hyperglycemia 3. Polydipsia 4. ANother guess 5. a wrong guess
2 :
if you switch 4 and 5 you will have it right. the respiratory compensation is due to diabetic ketoacidosis- a more specific definition of the type of metabolic acidosis- you breath harder to blow of the CO2 and reduce the acid. The diuresis is due to too glycosuria which causes a osmotic diuresis- reducing your volume and you end up activating thirst centers and start drinking. Other complex events also occur but in a nut shell this covers it.
3 :
1. Obesity-- is only related to Type II. With type I, you see thin young kids. 2. Hyperglycemia-- high blood sugar needs more insulin than is secreted. 3.Glycosuria-- how osmolality works--is when there is too much glucose/solutes, water is pulled into that area 4. Polydipsia-- excessive thirst and drinking 5. Metabolic acidosis-- results from diabetic ketoacidosis (caused by build up of fat digestion products--ketones-- due to lack of usable glucose, the body has digested fat). Rapid breathing/respiratory compensation is a symptom of ketoacidosis. Acidosis can lead to severe illness/death. Deena, you need to understand these yourself. Please review your book! I encourage you to do that for learning sake.
