slavikrds [6]

For a patient with a new onset of Meniere disease the dietary modification icludes low salt diet and reduction of alcohol and caffeine daily intake.

An idiopathic inner ear ailment called Meniere's disease (MD) is characterised by tinnitus, fluctuating sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) and spontaneous recurrent vertigo. Dietary changes, such as a low-salt diet and a daily intake reduction of alcohol and caffeine, are frequently used as the first line of treatment.

It is thought that a low salt consumption can aid to reduce endolymphatic pressure. Increased water and alcohol consumption enhances hearing and reduces the age at which Meniere's illness first manifests.

Where within the Gl tract does carbohydrate digestion begin? Where is carbohydrate digestion completed?
ra1l [238]

Answer:

The digestion of carbohydrates begins in the mouth and ends in the small intestine.

Explanation:

The absorption of carbohydrates, depending on whether they are simple or complex, will begin their digestion in the mouth by the action of saliva in food, where starches are initially separated; Once this food bolus reaches the stomach, the hydrochloric acid acts, to end later in the small intestine. Amylase, a component of pancreatic juice, ends the digestive process of carbohydrates by transforming starches into maltose, which are then transformed into monisacarides (glucose, galactose, fructose), which is the way they are absorbed by the body. In the liver they are again transformed into glucose.

Which is not a true statement about goals? Accomplishments come from the completion of a goal. Goals are mostly for the purpose
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

<u>Goals are mostly for the purpose of learning.</u>

Explanation:

When you complete a goal, you feel accomplished that you've reached your goal. Goals are measurable. There are long-term goals which are goals that may take time to reach. There are short-term goals which are goals that are easier to reach and don't take much time. If those two answers are true about goals then "All statements are true" is incorrect. But our correct answer is "Goals are mostly for the purpose of learning". Goals are mostly set because we want to push ourselves to do better than we already do.
