A 4-year-old boy was seen two weeks ago by his pediatrician because his father was concerned about him being very clumsy lately.

The boy also has a hard time running, climbing stairs and he walks on tiptoes. There is a strong family history of muscular dystrophy. They are here today to go over the results of a muscle biopsy and EMG results. A confirmed diagnosis of Duchenne muscular dystrophy was made. The pediatrician wrote a prescription for physical therapy, and leg braces.

You witness someone suddenly collapse the person is unresponsive
mezya [45]

Answer: Not totally certain if you have any multiple choice answers or anything but here's a general idea of what I would write in response.

Explanation: First step is always going to be asking them if they're okay, the question says they're unresponsive so you want to access the situation. If they are spasming and signs lead to them having a seizure your going to immediately call for an ambulance, don't try to restrain them unless they are potentially going to hurt themselves ie. falling off of something or hitting something dangerous nearby. Restraining them can potentially damage their nerves and muscles more than just letting them flail.

If they don't seem to be having any signs of a seizure then you want to check if they're breathing. If they aren't you need to start performing cpr. Have someone nearby call an ambulance or call 911 and ask for walk-through steps if you aren't certified, that way you know what your doing and you can have that support you if they try to sue you (which won't be a problem because of the good samaritan law anyways) You want to get them laying on their back, tilt their head and make sure nothings restricting their air flow. Then your going to do a couple breaths, if they don't start breathing you'll begin compressions. Compressions, breath, compressions breath. I reccommend looking up appropriate compression techniques for different age people and how to correctly administer if you aren't already aware since I don't want to write a whole article here- I hope this helped!

If you could do two things to change global health care, what would you do? Why would you focus on these two things?
gtnhenbr [62]
I don’t have two things I have one I would lower prices because someone people are not that wealthy as others so when they get sick or catch something they can’t go get help because they can’t afford it they want to say help every body but won’t help people because you want get money out of it that is just totally wrong.

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

What is: Glomeruli; Pyelonephritis

Explanation:

Several diseases that affect other parts of the body can have devastating effects on kidney function. Most of these conditions tend to damage the GLOMERULI, which causes the kidneys to lose the ability to filter, and eventually, to fail. Various types of infections can affect the kidneys themselves, a condition called Pyelonephritis.

Please allow me to know if I helped with brainly, thank you or rating.

If you could invent a synthetic myelin, what disease might you be able to functionally cure?
julsineya [31]
I don’t think any of them because they are all conditions that can’t be treated but I think that it would probably be Cerebral palsy or Huntington’s but I’m not sure
