tangare [24]

The main difference between a TIA (transient ischemic attack) and RIND (Reversible ischemic neurologic deficit) is the time duration taken for reversal of symptoms.

Explanation:

The symptoms of TIA can last for about 24 hours and settle within a day. RIND lasts for more than 24 hours and clears within a week or few weeks. This means that RIND is actually a mini version of TIA.

Perspective of the paramedic:

Since both the conditions exhibits acute mini stroke-like conditions with reversal of symptoms, the perspective of the paramedic will be the same for both TIA and RIND.

The paramedics in the field should conduct GCS and FAST tests, detect stroke and its damage caused, should obtain other basic information at the field, and administer basic neuroprotective treatment modalities to save the patient from further damage.

In the hospital, for both TIA and RIND, the primary stroke management is to restore the blood supply to the brain through anticlotting agents like tPA injections or endovascular procedures . The treatment can vary later according to the severity of the stroke.

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

burns glucose for energ

Explanation:

Insulin is a hormone made by the pancreas that allows your body to use sugar (glucose) from carbohydrates in the food that you eat for energy or to store glucose for future use. Insulin helps keeps your blood sugar level from getting too high (hyperglycemia) or too low (hypoglycemia).

Insulin helps control blood glucose levels by signaling the liver and muscle and fat cells to take in glucose from the blood. Insulin therefore helps cells to take in glucose to be used for energy. If the body has sufficient energy, insulin signals the liver to take up glucose and store it as glycogen

Having high levels, also known as hyperinsulinemia, has been linked to obesity, heart disease and cancer (1, 2 , 3 ). High blood insulin levels also cause your cells to become resistant to the hormone's effects
