Si: Coarse/brittle hair medications kidney damage buy 60 mg diltiazem otc, dry skin medicine yeast infection cheap diltiazem 180mg without prescription, nonpitting edema (etiology of term myxedema) symptoms uterine prolapse discount diltiazem 60mg with mastercard, ptosis treatment vs cure purchase 180mg diltiazem otc, macroglossia, decreased deep tendon reflex relaxation, altered mental status/delirium. In pts with limited hx, look for surgical scar on neck to suggest prior thyroidectomy. Sx: Heat intolerance, sweating, anxiety, palpitations, chest pain; fatigue, weight loss; menometrorraghia; diarrhea; hair loss; dyspnea. Other lab abnormalities: hypercalcemia and elevated alkaline phosphatase (due to increased bone turnover), leukocytosis, hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia, elevated liver enzymes, elevated cortisol levels. Pathophys: Possible mechanisms of stress hyperglycemia include increased circulating counterregulatory hormones (cortisol, epinephrine, glucagon), increased lactate levels, and increased insulin resistance, leading to increased gluconeogenesis and decreased glycogen synthesis. Sx/Si: Most pts asx (aside from concomitant illness); severe hyperglycemia causing typical sx of fatigue, polyuria, polydipsia. Cmplc: Main complication of therapy is hypoglycemia (see "Hypoglycemia" later in Section 2. Consider diabetes screening in some Type 2 pts with inadequate outpatient f/u: lipid panel, spot urine for microalbumin/ creatinine ratio. Rx: Type of care depends on severity of illness and previous level of glucose control; most data regarding outcomes of rx come from critical care pts, and then extrapolated to the less severe illnesses. In critically ill pts, choose intensive insulin therapy; deciding on a specific protocol is more problematic, as there are little head-to-head data comparing efficacy; a 2007 review of 12 protocols showed the extensive variability in the different types (Diab Care 2007;30:1005); many facilities use a modification of the traditional Yale protocol (Diab Care 2004;27:461). Generally, avoid use of oral hypoglycemics in the inpatient setting; in select pts, without critical or concomitant illnesses, and with good oral intake, can use safely; see Table 2. Si: Dehydration: tachycardia, hypotension, delayed capillary refill, skin tenting. Cmplc: Most mortality related to underlying illness, rather than metabolic disturbances; prognosis worse with age, neurologic sx, hemodynamic instability. Cerebral edema: worsening mental status 12­24 hr after acute presentation; more common in children, may be due to rapid correction of hyperosmolarity; prevent by initial use of isotonic saline (0. Rx: Mainstays of therapy: (1) close monitoring, (2) fluid repletion, (3) insulin therapy, (4) electrolyte replacement. Sx: Initially due to hyperglycemia: polyuria, polydipsia, weight loss; neurologic sx predominate (confusion, coma). Si: Dehydration: tachycardia, hypotension, delayed capillary refill, skin tenting; obtundation, altered mental status. Epidem: Higher rates with intensive insulin regimens, especially continuous infusions. In the pancreatic beta-cells, proinsulin is cleaved to insulin, with release of C-peptide as by-product. Sx: Patients report sx with only 15% of episodes (J Intern Med 1990;228:641); sympathetic activation causes sweating, anxiety, nausea, palpitations; neuro sx include fatigue, dizziness, headache, difficulty concentrating. Si: Sympathetic activation causes tremor, tachycardia; neurologic symptoms include confusion, delirium, rarely seizures and coma. In nondiabetic pts, if persistent hypoglycemia, get plasma insulin, pro-insulin, C-peptide levels, and sulfonylurea assay: · Insulinoma: elevated levels of insulin, pro-insulin, and C-peptide · Factitious syndrome due to insulin: elevated insulin, but low levels of C-peptide and pro-insulin · Factitious syndrome due to sulfonylureas: elevated levels of insulin, pro-insulin, and C-peptide; positive assay for sulfonylureas Noninv: In select pts with difficulty determining cause and extent of events, consider monitored 72-hr fast. Lab: Confirm low calcium, especially in elderly and critically ill, with ionized calcium. Sx: Fatigue, weakness, sleepiness, nausea/anorexia, constipation, polyuria, polydypsia, and volume depletion. Lab: Calcium elevated (after correction for low albumin, see Cause section in "Hypocalcemia"), 10. Mg chloride or Mg lactate tablets provide about 3 mmol (~60 mg) of magnesium; six to eight pills/day in split doses. Pathophys: Avg daily intake 20­40 mEq; total body stores 2000 mEq, half in bones, the rest intracellular, approximately 1% extracellular (serum). Rx: In most clinical settings, mild to moderate hypermagnesemia requires no therapy other than monitoring and treatment of underlying disease.

The transmittances of the visible and blue light of all the curing light tips and tinted eyeglass lenses were examined[Figure 2 medicine x pop up generic 180mg diltiazem amex,3] treatment kidney stones buy diltiazem 60 mg online, and the ratios of blue light in the transmitted visible light were analyzed to compare the blue-light blocking effects medicine express buy cheap diltiazem 180 mg online. In the visible-light region (380-750 nm) keratin intensive treatment discount diltiazem 180mg line, the curing light tips and tinted eyeglass lenses showed different light transmittance spectra according to the wavelength, which indicates that the light transmittance is different depending on the curing light tip and eyeglass lens color concentration. Spectral transmittance curves of dental curing light tips for blue-light blocking and tinted eyeglass lenses. Spectral transmittance curves of dental curing light tips and tinted eyeglass lenses in the blue-light (380-500nm) region 2000Medico-legal Update, January-March 2020, Vol. Among the tinted eyeglass lenses, the red lens showed a nearly constant transmittance spectral curve in the bluelight region while the yellow lens showed increased light transmittance near the 450 nm wavelength. Among the tinted eyeglass lenses, the orange lens had the lowest blue-light transmittance (0. For the analysis results of the ratio of blue light in the transmitted visible light, it was 0. On the other hand, the red lens had a low blue-light blocking effect, similar to the yellow lens (16. Light transmittances of dental curing light tips for blue-light blocking and tinted eyeglass lenses Wavelength (nm) 380-750 (Visible light) 200-380 (Blue-light) Blue-light/Visible light Light Transmittance (%) Company A (Tip A) 51. Further experiments are needed to determine whether the yellow and red lenses can produce as much blue-light transmittance as the orange lenses. For this purpose, further research is needed to compare the bluelight transmittances by tint concentration. Ethical Clearance: Not required Source of Funding: Self Conflict of Interest: Nil 1.

A study on light tranmittance through red protective shilds modified with different window films. Transmission of violet and blue light through conventional (layered) and bulk cured resin-based composites. Method/Statistical Analysis: this study was conducted on the elderly living in K city, Gyeonggi-do. The data was collected by using survey method, which was designed to find out the living environment, economic level, and health consciousness of the elderly in the urban-rural complex area. Especially, the elderly living alone had poor living environment and economic level, plus high restriction on health and exercise. Improvements/Applications: It appears that elderly living alone in urban-rural complex area have a high desire to participate in health and exercise programs, which is thought to require attention and research to remove restrictions on physical activity programs for elderly living alone. Keywords: Urban-rural complex areas, Elderly, Living environment, Economic level, Health consciousness. Introduction the health condition of residents of urban area worldwide is much better than that of residents of rural areas. Many positive aspects of urban life, such as Corresponding Author: Jong-Hyuck Kim Professor, Dept. However, recent studies show that the benefits of urban life and health condition can be eroded by the adverse effects of the urban environment - for example - the increase in fat on the diet, and the sedentary lifestyle can be them[1]. Risk factors for cities with health risks include substandard housing, congested living conditions, contaminated food, unclean water, inadequate sanitation, poor solid waste treatment services, air pollution and congested traffic[2]. As the society continuously changes to aging society, more and more elderly will be willing to live Medico-legal Update, January-March 2020, Vol. Further, in order to satisfy their leisure and needs, and the migration to urbanrural complex area will increase, and it will lead to a continuous increase in interest in living environment, economic level and health consciousness in urbanrural complex area. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to present basic data for the provision of health and welfare services suitable for urban-rural complex area by identifying living environment, economic level and health awareness among the urban-rural complex area. Research Subject: this study was conducted to the elderly living in K-city, in Gyeonggi-do, and a survey on living environment, economic level and health awareness was conducted - by distributing 220 questionnaires, consisting of nominal scale. The response to the questionnaire was carried out in a one-on-one manner by the researchers and the auxiliary researchers, and if the study subjects did not respond during the response process, the question was re-asked after explaining the whole process that this survey will be used for statistical purposes.
