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.

MariettaO [177]

Health policy must tackle the social and economic determinants of health. Poor social and economic circumstances affect health throughout life. Social gradient would be best depicted by a ladder.

When thinking about health inequalities people often use the analogue of the ladder to show how the gradient of worsening health outcomes affects all people in society except those at the very top. This leads to the second part of the answer. health follows the social gradient. Those second from the top have worse health than those at the top, and so on, all the way down the social hierarchy.
