Answer: Alcohol neuropathy

Explanation: The 45 year old man has a history of alcohol abuse and for him to sleep off on a bench instead if his bed might be due to the influence of the alcohol he took. Showing that he is still abusing alcohol.

Alcohol neuropathy is a peripheral nerve disorder that occurs in individuals with prolonged duration of alcohol abuse. The consumed alcohol is metabolised and excreted from the body. The metabolism of alcohol has a direct toxic effects on the neurons. An example of the peripheral nerve that can be affected in alcohol neuropathy is the radial nerve which innervates the arm, forearm, wrist and down to the tips of the finger. Therefore, the physical examination of the 45 year old man will reveal:

- decreased sensation over the first second and third digits and

- wrist drop.

Treatment should focus on stopping the alcohol abuse and nutritional replacement therapy. I hope this helps, thanks.

Why is attitude an important fitness level factor to consider?
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

The energy you channel to get into a mindset will affect the way you assess the particular task you delegate for yourself, fitness-related ones especially. The more positive you are, the more energy and adrenaline you'll have, whereas if you're grudgingly getting into fitness, there's more of a possibility of putting it aside and eventually just not doing it.

What has more calories sugar or oil?
Anvisha [2.4K]

The question only makes sense if you specify that
you're talking about the same amount of each.

Olive oil . . . . . 120 calories / Tablespoon
Table sugar . . . 22.5 calories / Tablespoon

In equal volumes, olive oil has a little more than
5 times the calories of granulated sugar.

Sesame oil, soybean oil, almond oil, canola oil, corm oil,
cottonseed oil, flaxseed oil, grapeseed oil, palm oil,
macadamia nut oil, peanut oil, safflower oil, walnut oil,
wheatgerm oil, and sunflower oil are all virtually identical
to olive oil in calorie content, but their saturated fat content
is different.
