Answer:
I'm starting high-school next school-year and so far I've listed some things for myself that I plan on following; hopefully it helps you as well.
Explanation:
- Be confident in yourself -- never let others dictate how you feel.
- Find a balance between school and social activities. Friends and activities are always fun, but if you put off time to study or work on assignments, your school work will pile up. So make sure to try to find a balance.
- Be prepared for your classes. It's always helpful to know what topics you'll be going through so make sure to read the syllabus
- Along with being prepared - have a notebook for class and pencil. Writing notes are super helpful for classes because (in my opinion) you memorize key things quicker.
- Never change yourself for other people (also goes along with #1).
- Enjoy yourself. I think high-school is a time for fun and more opportunities to learn. Try to embrace the experience and be comfortable in the new environment.
I'm not going to put the whole list but these are one the key things. I really hope this helps and good luck on whatever high-school sends your way!
Marasmus is a severe form of malnutrition, usually occurs in children in developing countries, can be life-threatening but can be treated. Preliminary diagnosis of marasmus, as done by the doctor above, is through physical examination. Weight and height of a particular child should be parallel to his/her age. Motion/mobility of the child/patient is also of consideration because those children with marasmus usually have lack energy to move. Blood tests, however, is not definitive because a malnourished child with marasmus wilol usually have many infection, hence, it will all show in his/her blood results. The main symptom of marasmus is being underweight and loss of lot of muscle mass and subcutaneous fats (fat under the skin). It is also accompanied by stunted growth, respiratory infection, chronic diarrhea and intellectual disability. Nutrient deficiency is main cause of marasmus. They are deficient in food rich in vitamins and minerals such as iron, iodine, zinc and Vitamin A. Initial treatment of marasmus is dried skim milk powder mixed with boiled water. Later on, vegetable oil like sesame, casein and sugar can be incorporated to increase energy content and density of the mixture. On his/her way to recovery, a more balanced diet is required. Rehydration through oral hydration is also a priority because of dehydration caused by diarrhea. Infections should also be treated by antibiotics.
