The right answer is Iatrogenic illness.

Glaucoma is an eye disease that affects mostly people over the age of 45. It is characterized by an increase in eye pressure leading to an impairment of the optic nerve and the visual field. They are treated with antiglaucomatous agents.

Some antiglaucomatous agents are betablockers, they certainly act on the ocular level by decreasing the ocular tension, but the long-term treatment makes that the drug goes to the blood level and acts at the level of the heart to cause a bradycardia.

He is experiencing an overdose of drugs to treat could occur if they are taken improperly, or if decreased liver or renal function occurs. Symptoms of overdose include severe nausea/vomiting, sweating, salivation, hypotension, bradycardia, convulsions, and increased muscle weakness, including respiratory muscles. This patient has diabetes and thus may have glycaemic issues. Bradycardia and muscle weakness.  Abdominal pain and dry mouth. Tachycardia and hypertension.  Emotional withdrawal and tachypnea.

What controls this ability to connect through the body movements and facial expressions of others?
lianna [129]

Our volitional centre, the motor cortex, is where we impose specific facial expressions in order to convey the desired message or because the situation requires it.

<h3>What is the purpose of the motor cortex?</h3>
  • The motor cortex's main job is to provide signals that control how the body moves.
  • It is anterior to the central sulcus and a portion of the frontal lobe.
  • The primary motor cortex, premotor cortex, and supplementary motor area make up this region.
<h3>What kinds of motions does the motor cortex regulate?</h3>
  • The motor cortex generates signals that are particular to movements and sends them to the muscles via spinal cord circuits and motor neurons to regulate motor behaviour.
  • For the execution of movements to be precise, coordinated muscle activation patterns are required.

How could environmental concerns conflict with your desire to improve your stand in living?
Darina [25.2K]

Standard of living refers to the quality, and quantity, of goods and services made available to an individual for his/her consumption. This definition is a general one and is easily understood.

To improve one's standard of living, in accordance with this definition, one needs to be provided with a better quality goods & services , such as advanced electronics and gadgets, or quantity, such as producing more self-care product for consumption.

So how does this conflict with his/her environmental concerns? In order to improve standard of living, there is a few trade offs. To produce more quantity of goods & services, more resources have to be used. This might lead to excessive usage, wastage & depletion of natural resources. For example, to provide more fuel to the society, companies have to extract more & more of fossil fuel. Sustainable usage of natural resources might be a concern, since some types of resources are unrenewable e. g oil & gas.

Production of higher quality products requires advanced state of technology. In the meantime, the use of some technologies aren't exactly environmental friendly i. e it may create pollution. For example, decades ago, manufacturing shirts using traditional methods might not yield consistent results thus the invention of machine helps with increasing the quality, however, results in noise and air pollution. Another example, using air-conditioning instead of hand fan is more effective in coping with hot weather, but greenhouse gas is emitted.

This shows the conflict between environmental concern and the desire to improve standard of living in general.

Hope this helps!

2.

  • It can make glucose and then use that
  • Use lipids(some organs such as the brain can’t use lipids as their energy source and need glucose)
