62 year old male admitted into hospital with a history
of colicky abdominal pain associated with increasing ascites and
jaundice. liver function at this time was markedly abnormal with a
bilirubin of 257, INR 2.4, Albumin 23.
Clinical signs were of hepatic encephalopathy with marked ascites.
several litres of fluid were drained and a culture isolated
pseudomonas sp. he was treated with antibiotics but continued to
deteriorate and also developed renal failure due to hepatorenal
syndrome. unfortunately, he died 6 days after admission.
What was patients cause of death?
what were the signs and symptoms?

Task 1: Consider hip hinging to touch your toes or palms to floor in open space versus performing the same hip hinge with your heels and coccyx touching a wall.
Task 2: Consider performing planter flexion from standing position in free space versus performing the same movement while facing a wall and your nose touching the wall
1.Consider the free space versus inhibited space demonstrations: why was it so difficult to achieve stability between conditions? a)Plantar flexing against a wall face forward b)Toe touch with back to wall
2.Consider trunk extension : Why might there be a difference in how each sex may be able to complete the task or not?

Type II diabetes is the most common type of diabetes and it causes tissues to develop insulin resistance or simple the body cannot produce enough insulin. A common side effect of type II diabetes is obesity, however with the proper diet and exercise, weight loss is possible. A recommended diet for those with type II diabetes is to eat complex carbohydrates versus simple carbohydrates. What this means is that brown rice, whole wheat, quinoa, oatmeal, fruits, vegetables, beans, and lentils should be consumed regularly and that sugar, pasta, white bread, flour, and cookies, pastries should be eliminated. Proteins can include the following: beans, legumes, eggs, seafood, dairy, peas, tofu, and lean meats and poultry. Other foods that need to be avoided are sodas, trans fats, high-fat animal products, high-fat dairy products, high fructose corn syrup, artificial sweeteners, and any highly processed foods. Along with a healthy diet, exercise is important because it can help lower blood glucose level. While exercising, muscles use glucose even if there is no insulin and in return since glucose is being used then glucose levels go down. It is recommended to exercise for about 30 minutes daily, and this can be a combination of tennis, dancing, walking, swimming, basketball, and or biking.

As most people would, physicians will go where the money is. Dr. Jones has determined he can make more money providing services in an ambulatory surgical center (ASC), i.e., an unregulated outpatient vascular surgical procedures center than he can in a highly regulated hospital setting. Not only is he able to conduct procedures away from the watchful eyes of his peers in the hospital, he is also able to charge the patient and insurance more than he can in the hospital setting. Dr. Jones has a win-win situation, especially if Dr. Jones likes to operate on patients whether the procedures are indicated or not. While the majority of surgeons have integrity and will not operate if something is not indicated, a few who are more concerned about their income than about their patients will operate simply if they have space on their schedule. You need only look at the headlines to see some of the consequences of these unethical behaviors (Boodman, 2014; Rice, 2014; Valcourt, 2014).
