Answer: hypothalamus

Explanation: The thalamus is a mass at the top of the brain stem that works with the cerebrum to control muscle coordination. It also acts as a relay station for the cerebrum's sensory center.

The hypothalamus controls many unconscious metabolic processes such as hunger, thirst, blood pressure and body temperature. The hypothalamus also works with the pituitary gland in the release of certain hormones.

A hypothalamic tumor is a tumor that develops on the hypothalamus, a part of the brain. A tumor can develop on the hypothalamus for two reasons: cancer spreading from somewhere else in the body or mutated brain cells. The latter cause is more prevalent in children.

Tumor size varies. The larger the tumor is, the more intracranial pressure presents within the brain. A patient experiences more symptoms as pressure increases.

Thalamic tumors are diagnosed through a CT scan.

Treatment depends on the size, scope and location of the tumor

To avoid misuse what should you do with pain medication your doctor prescribes you for an injury
max2010maxim [7]

Pain medications for injury are usually opioids that need proper handling to avoid any misuse. I will follow the directions as explained on the label, by my doctor and pharmacist.

Moreover, I will never stop or change my dosing regimen without discussing it with my doctor so I can avoid misusing the drug and I will store my pain medication in the proper place where it will never be reach by children.

In case that there are unused or expired medications, I will never give it to other person. Instead, I will drop off the medication to a DEA-designated drop box or take-back program.

A man has been a coal miner for 30 years. For the past 3 years, he has had progressively worsening dyspnea and has been diagnose
Yuri [45]

Answer:

<em>His decreased residual volume and decreased lung compliance contribute to his altered ventilation. </em>

Explanation:

Pneumoconioses are distinguished by reduced residual volume and impaired compliance with the lungs.

Pneumoconiosis involves asbestosis, silicosis, and the pneumoconiosis (CWP) of coal workers.

The most prevalent mineral dusts proven to cause pneumoconiosis in the workplace are asbestos, silica (rock and sand dust), and coal dust.

Cough and shortness of breath are by far the most common symptoms of pneumoconiosis. The threat is usually greater when people are exposed to high levels and/or long periods of time from mineral dusts.

One risk factor is the insufficient or inconsistent usage of personal protective equipment (PPE) such as respirators (specially designed breathing masks), as avoiding inhalation of dusts would also avoid pneumoconiosis.
