Haemochromatosis is an inherited condition where iron levels in the body slowly build up over many years.

This build-up of iron, known as iron overload, can cause unpleasant symptoms. If it is not treated, this can damage parts of the body such as the liver, joints, pancreas and heart.

Haemochromatosis most often affects people of white northern European background and is particularly common in countries where lots of people have a Celtic background, such as Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

Zina [86]

To prevent increased circulation and itching, lotions should be gently but firmly patted on the skin, rather than rubbed in. Shake all lotions thoroughly immediately before application. Lotions are aqueous and are easily cleansed with water. Lotions are not oil based.

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer: Compartment syndrome occurs due to the buildup of pressure caused by internal bleeding or swelling of tissues. Signs that would alert a nurse if a patient was developing compartment syndrome are pain, pallor (pale skin tone), paresthesia (numbness feeling), pulselessness (faint pulse) and paralysis (weakness with movements).

What is not a common position for a physical examination ? Lithotomy , knee-chest , supine , lateral
Anna [14]

I wanna say the lithotomy position because that is when you lay on your back with your legs open like you're giving birth. If they wanted to perform something like this, doctors would most likely use the lateral position first.

Hope this helps :)

Nikitich [7]

<u>Answer:</u>

In the afferent arteriole that sense blood pressure.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Background Knowledge:

Nephron: Nephron is the basic structural and functional unit of kidney. It regulates salt and water balance. Structure of nephron is divided in to two parts.

1) Renal Corpuscles: Renal Corpuscles further divided into

a) Glomerulus and

b) Bowman capsule.

Blood from Arteries enters into glomerulus  through afferent arterioles and leaves through Efferent arterioles for filtration. During this process waste material become filtered from Glomerulus containing blood into the Bowam capsule.

2) Renal Tubules: Renal tubules are further divided into

a) Proximal Convulated tubules

b) Loop of Henle and

c) Distal Convulated Tubules

Waste material pass through these tubes in sequential order. Components which are needed by body become reabsorbed in to capillaries present around these tubules while rest of material pass out of the body.

Juxtaglomerular apparatus: This is specialized structure. This structure is formed by the distal convulatd tubules and glomerular afferent arteriole.  Juxtaglomerular apparatus is located near the vascular pole of the glomerulus.

Function: Its main function is the regulate blood pressure and the filtration rate of the glomerulus. This structure contains specialized epithelial cells in the distal convoluted tubule. Purpose of these cells is to detect sodium concentration in the tubule. These cells trigger contraction of the afferent arteriole in case if the sodium level is present in elevated state in filtrate fluid. This whole procedure reduces glomerulus blood flow and glomerular filtration rate.
