Duplex ultrasonography

Explanation:

Duplex ultrasonography is a radiological non-invasive diagnostic test performed to evaluate the flow of blood through the blood vessels – arteries and veins. This applies sound waves to image the blood flow in the vessels to look for any blockage or narrowing.

A duplex ultrasonography of the extremities measures the flow of blood in the extremities to detect for peripheral artery disease (PAD).

The symptoms presented in the elderly woman like burning heaviness, dilated and tortuous leg veins, edematous skin with speckled areas are all representative of PAD.  

Coagulation panel details blood clotting markers like prothrombin etc, and this may not be sufficient to diagnose the given patient’s conditions

Angiography involves the use of radiopaque contrast dye and catheter insertion, both of which may cause allergies or side effects. Hence this test is done only when required to assess the progress of disease at later stages.

svp [43]

Answer:

The correct answer is A. Low energy availability

Explanation:

For an endurance athlete energy availability is very much important. An endurance athlete should eat at least 2000 calories even if he wants to lose weight.  

So if an endurance athlete does not consume appropriate calories then during the performance his energy availability will be low which will affect his performance. Endurance athletes require more energy reserves in the body because they have to perform physical activity for a long time.

Therefore if an endurance athlete consumes too few calories then it will lead to a low availability of energy in his body.

Answer:

B. Nutritionist

Explanation:

Calories are a unit for the measurement of the amount of energy in different foods and drinks.

Pharmacists are responsible for the distribution of medication, which is not measured in calories so it is not A.

X-ray technician organise X-rays which scan the insides of people's bodies (most commonly bones) so they do not use calories.

Finally life technicians identify and collect loving organisms to study so they don't use calories either.

A nutritionist's is to evaluate the chemical make up of different foods i.e. How much energy hence calories, and how they work with different people's bodies, therefore B is correct.

Hope this helped!
