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 ([<, >])."

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.

Physicians, kindly answer my inquiry

Physicians, kindly answer my inquiry.?
First question: Am I going to give a calcium channel blocker (Nifedipine) to my aunt whose BP is 170/90? She doesn't know her usual BP. I got her BP for three times, and it's still 170/90. She is not taking any maintenance medications for her chronic hypertension. She usually eats garlic and usually excuses herself for not taking maintenance medication for hypertension. She always claim that she is healthy even though it is very obvious that it is not. She has many varicose veins. Btw, She has type 2 diabetes mellitus. She is now 65 years old. Second question: My sister (16y/o) suffered from a severe abdominal pain a while ago. PR:89 bpm, RR: 18 cpm, BP: 90/60. Her pain scale ranges from 6-10. She applied liniment to somehow relieve the pain on her abdomen. Afterwards, she took Buscopan (Hyoscine Butylbromide). Is it right to self-medicate herself? Thank you so much!

Wait -- you say she's not taking any antihypertension meds, but you're going to give her Nifedipine? Is this HER Nifedipine that her doctor prescribed for HER? She should see a doctor to determine what medication she should be taking (and not what someone on Yahoo Answers tells her to take). Garlic is found to have some cholesterol lowering properties, but not much to do with blood pressure. As far as your sister's abdominal pain - if it hurts that much, she should probably see a doctor. Is it more of a muscle-like pain or does it seem more internal?

Does milk really suck? Or is it nutritional

Does milk really suck? Or is it nutritional?
We are the only mammals besides cats who drink milk after infancy. The odd thing is that after infancy, instead of continuing drinking our others milk, we drink cow milk. On milksucks.com it tells you how keeping your bones strong are easier than you think, and milk isn't required to do the job. In fact, there is an article on why milk and dairy products WON'T help you maintain healthy bones. Got Breast Cancer? Milksucks.com says this: Consuming dairy products is linked to an increased risk for breast cancer because dairy products are high in fat, animal protein, and hormones, each of which increases cancer risk. Since the 1980’s, study after study has linked dairy consumption to a high incidence of breast and other cancers. Women seeking to minimize their chances of breast cancer should avoid milk, other dairy products, and meat." What about heart disease? Milksucks.com says: Since the early 1970s, study after study after study has implicated cow's milk and other dairy products as a cause of heart disease and clogged arteries. One researcher, Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn from the Cleveland Clinic (the top-rated heart clinic in the U.S.), makes people "heart attack-proof" by putting them on a vegan diet (check out his groundbreaking paper in the American Journal of Cardiology, August 99). Do you or your teens have acne? Will drinking milk make you greasy, grimy, and pimply? Some doctors suspect that the fat, animal protein, sugar, and hormones in milk irritate the skin, causing break-outs. Dr. Jerome K. Fisher conducted a clinical study of 1,088 teen-age patients over 10 years and reported to the American Dermatological Association that milk was a principal contributor to some patients' acne. Dr. Fisher found that their acne tapered off as their milk consumption did. Are your kids sick? Cow's milk is the number one source of allergies in children, and research links consumption of dairy products, including cow's milk, to colic (stomach cramps), autism, chronic ear infections, insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (type 1 or "juvenile-onset" diabetes), acne, obesity, flatulence, constipation, mucus, and a variety of other ailments. So the question is: Is milk as good as we think it is?

If you are taking a health class online, you should have been provided reading material. I can't give you the answers as that would be cheating but I can provide sites where by reading 2 or 3 paragraphs, you can find the answers rapidly. 26) HIV http://www.epigee.org/health/hiv_symptoms.html http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/hiv-aids/DS00005/DSECTION=symptoms 27) Diabetes in young adults and children http://mayoclinic.com/health/type-1-diabetes-in-children/DS00931 The next one is a must read if you are taking a health class - longer but it provides some very interesting information http://care.diabetesjournals.org/content/23/3/381.full.pdf Here's an easy one: http://www.battlediabetes.com/double-diabetes-placing-your-kids-at-even-more-risk/ Now THINK when you read this next one: http://doctor.website2go.com/p6.html 28) Not a warning sign of skin cancer You should be able to get this one easily http://ezinearticles.com/?Skin-Cancer-Warning-Signs---Five-Signs-and-How-to-Prevent-Skin-Cancer&id=2254326 29) Most dangerous form of skin cancer You're going to have to do some reading here: http://ezinearticles.com/?Melanoma---Surviving-the-Least-Common-But-Most-Dangerous-Form-of-Skin-Cancer&id=1597441 30) This one is on you - think back to after 9/11 and remember the scares at various places. You can already eliminate 2 choices: stroke and bovine spongiform encephalopathy. How is West Nile transmitted? Not through the mail. 31) Diarrhea This is just a matter of looking up each word and doing some simple reasoning - you are looking for a general answer. Do all people with diarrhea have cancer? Isn't Crohn's a specialized disease? Look up dysentry - how do people get it? Is it specific or general. Lastly look up IBS or irritable bowel syndrome. Does that feel like the logical answer? 32) Start by looking up atherosclerosis. Ok the answer should be there but if it isn't...think. Are steroids a fat? yes/No Does everyone who has athrosclerosis use olive oil? What diets is olive oil good for? Now look up cholesterol and then phospholipids. Or to save time just go to Wikipedia and look up Atherosclerosis - your answer is in the first paragraph. 33) What is key to starting cancer treatment? http://www.canceradvice.co.uk/cancer-news/may-2007/cancer-survival-rates-114/ 34) This one is more difficult because it describes the end stages of PD with dementia and it describes completely AD. Think it through. You should also at least know what Grave's disease is and how it requires early intervention. Did you know that Marty Feldman of Young Frankenstein had Graves? That's what caused the bulging eyes although it is certainly not the most common symptom. And most certainly read about the very painful Paget's disease. 35) First you should figure out what hypertension is - the rest is easy. Just make a selection from the drop down - keep returning and reading. Or just be logical because you already know that diabetes is pancreatic. http://www.webmd.com/hypertension-high-blood-pressure/default.htm If you don't know how to conduct a search, this should help - the search parameters were dictated by the questions.
