Question 1. Using medical terminology describe the symptoms Mr. B is complaining about. Mr. B has described polydipsia as a feeling of very thirsty and complained polyuria as frequent urination. Question 2. What does HbA1c measure? HbA1c refers to glycated haemoglobin which develops when haemoglobin joins with glucose in the blood, becoming ‘glycated’ (Choudhary& Kishanrao, 2015). The HbA1c test counts the number of glycosylated red blood cells and reports it as a percentage (Little& Sacks, 2009). It can be used as a diagnostic tests for diabetes in most situations and monitor the diabetes treatment plan (Mukherjee, 2016). By measuring HbA1c, the average level of blood glucose over the past eight to twelve weeks can be shown rather than a specific point in time (Stöppler, 2016). Question 3. Why would the doctor have ordered these blood tests? Why are they significant? Full blood test (FBC) is a general screen for a variety of disorder which can help to prognosis or diagnose many conditions (Dillon& Harrison, 2009). By analyzing the symptoms Mr. B is complaining about and his unhealthy lifestyle, he has sign of diabetes and dyslipidaemia. Polyuria, Polydipsia are classic symptoms of diabetes (Mccarron& Riebel, 2008) which are obvious on Mr. B. In this circumstance, fasting blood glucose and HbA1c can help to determine whether these symptoms are caused by diabetes or not. In addition, secondary dyslipidemia may caused by diabetic complications (Jenkins, Toth& Lyons,2014)…

of the change of the groups that are attached to specific inorganic ions (such as Ce4+). The Chromic Acid test results positive for primary or secondary alcohols or aldehydes. Primary alcohols will be oxidized to aldehydes and aldehydes are oxidized to carboxylic acids. Secondary alcohols will be oxidized to ketones. However, tertiary alcohols will not be oxidized. The oxidization is done through the addition of the alcohol oxygen to chromium, and the removal of a proton from the carbon by a…

alcohols, ketones, aldehydes, esters, nitriles, and amides. If the unknown remained insoluble with water it was combined with a 5% Hydrochloric acid solution to further determine its solubility: if the unknown was found soluble in that solution it was classified as either B or MN. If insoluble there was a two part test that needed to occur. First the solution was added to a 96% sulfuric acid solution to determine its solubility. If the unknown was insoluble with the addition of the sulfuric…

What is the Unlimited Spirit, Limited Spirit and Corporeal Bodies? We differentiate three distinct types of beings here. One is the highest good in which nothing can surpass. This highest good is God; God is the only unlimited spirit with no end, no beginning and is not limited by space or time. The unlimited spirit has always been and will always be.

checks every window one last time, and finding no lights or sounds outside, she lifts the pot up. It seems agonizingly heavy to her weak arms, and she hastily sets it down on the floor and lifts the lid. There is nothing but a large, grimy-looking chunk of meat in plain boiling water. They’ve eaten everything else there is, even the shriveled, unripe mini tomatoes on her decorative plant. It died more than two months ago, and the small, dried fruits tasted like sand when she tried to eat them. A…

The brain is taken out and cut as well like the other organs and bullets are taken out of the skull and photograph with measurements. The final steps, is…

regarding personal identity in his chapter titled “The Self and the Future”. His thought experiments attempt to provoke answers to questions of personal identity. He presents situations in which bodies and brains are switched, and then asks the question, whose well-being ought I to be concerned with. By invoking concern, Williams is able to make the reader directly interact with the thought experiments, and, as Nozick points out, tend to come the conclusion “that the people have switched bodies”…

I feel like a rat, hiding in these trenches. There are more threats than the enemy in our own trenches. Swarms of lice and rats will kill us before the enemy gets the chance to. The trenches are just joint holes filled with mud, water and corpses. The mud and water gets everywhere: my rifle and clothes have to be cleaned almost every hour. Still after two weeks of fighting in France one thing that haunts me one the numerous corpses littered around the trenches. It’s the smell that stays with me;…
