Good evening Mr. Brown your test results came in and we found out that your Triglycerides are 145 mg/dL, Cholesterol 210 mg/dL, HDL 33 mg/dL, and LDL 160 mg/dL. Normal triglycerides means there are less than 150 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) which you do have which is great. A desirable level of cholesterol would be Below 200 mg/dL, and borderline high would be 200-239 mg/dL so because your cholesterol level is 210 mg/dL you are at borderline high. Ideal LDL level for people at very high risk of heart disease would be below 70 and a high level would be 160-189 mg/dL your LDL level is 160 mg/dL therefore it’s high. The best HDL

“You're more likely to have high cholesterol that can lead to heart disease if you have any of these risk factors such as smoking, obesity, large waist circumference, poor diet, lack of exercise and diabetes.” (Mayo Clinic Staff)
They are many treatments for treating high cholesterol. Many people, making changes to their lifestyle doing activities such as eating better, losing weight, and exercising will be enough to lower cholesterol meanwhile others may benefit from medicines. They’re not much side effects from medications used to treat high cholesterol. Statins are the number one drug used to treat high cholesterol. Statins can lower the risk of heart attack or stroke. Other medications can improve cholesterol levels, but they have not been proven to lower the risk of a heart attack or a stroke. Statin side effects can be uncomfortable, making it seem like the risks outweigh the benefits of these powerful cholesterol-lowering medications. (Mayo Clinic Staff) Side effects of statin is muscle pain and damage, liver damage, digestive problems, rash or flushing, increased blood sugar or type 2 diabetes, and neurological side effects.

One of the distinguishing features of cystic fibrosis is the thick mucus that lines both the airways and the intestinal tract of affected individuals. In the respiratory tract, this thick mucus is not removed by the cilia that usually beat and push mucus up into the throat. This thick mucus builds up in the airways, and bacteria trapped in the mucus are not removed. Thus bacterial respiratory infections are extremely common.
A higher level of fats in the body puts the patient at higher risk for Cardiovascular diseases(CAD). The patient's' family has a history of CAD. Her mom and one of her sister have CAD (Lewis et al., 2014, pp. 733-734). The patient states that she has been taking her meds for cholesterol atorvastatin regularly. Her lipase level was 8272 on 11/11/16 and 2829 on 11/12/16 U/L 1069 on 11/13/16 (Ref range 73-393 U/L). Her HDL cholesterol level was 21 ( ref range>49 mg/dl), LDL Cholesterol level 148 ( ref range: <130 mg/dL). Patient statin drug was on hold because it is contradicted on the patient with an elevated level of ALT 80, 61(Ref range 0-50 U/L) and AST 61 on 11/12/16 and 64 on 11/13/16 (ref range 0-45 U/L). The uncontrolled level of could be the cause of concern for stroke or acute myocardial

People with high cholesterol are at greater risk of developing heart disease, according to the American Heart Association. People with diets high in saturated fats---like those in meat, dairy and eggs---are more likely to have high cholesterol levels. To reduce cholesterol, the American Heart Association recommends limiting the intake of saturated fat, trans fat and cholesterol, and eating more plant-based foods.

The work environment for a Special Educator is in a public, magnet, private and charter schools. Some can also work in preschools. Many work the traditional 10 month school year with two months off during the summer months. Some may opt to work with special summer programs. It is not uncommon for a Special Educator to work in residential facilities, hospitals and student homes. They also can teach the child’s parents methods and ways to help the child develop skills. This career can be highly rewarding but also extremely emotionally and physically draining. This is a reason why there are not many Special Educators.

It depends on the frequency in which you need to maintain email lists. If you need to verify your email lists on a regular basis, then you should purchase a monthly subscription. In case you have only one email list and would like to pay for it once, then we recommend purchasing a "Pay As You Go" package. > Only in limited cases. If your children are under 21 years old and unmarried, they’re eligible for burial. That coverage extends to 23 if they’re a full-time student. Moreover, children of veterans are eligible at any age if they’re physically or mentally disabled, rendering them incapable of self-support.
There are specific ethical considerations that need to be addressed when investigating Homicide and rape. A few of these ethical considerations are shared between the two such as the investigators mind state. This plays an important role in the preparations required for a successful prosecution. The investigator must be open-minded to any and all possibilities and be un-bias. The investigator must also know how to conduct all the elements of an investigation in the proper manner from a professional and legal aspect.
Employee performance is a performance criteria standard of an employee, they must have good behaviour and mustn’t do anything bad like waste time. Employees are rated on how well they do their jobs compared with a set of standards determined by the employer.
The legitimacy of the criminal justice system is based largely upon both its effectiveness and its fairness. Its effectiveness is judged by its ability to investigate and detect crime, identify offenders and mete out the appropriate sanctions to those who have been convicted of offences. Its fairness is judged by its thoroughness and the efforts it makes to redress the resource imbalance between the accused and the state at the investigatory, pre-trial, trial and appellate stages. The system does this by providing evidentiary protection and effective legal representation at all points.
But if after you do these things and your cholesterol is still high then we will consider putting you on medication. The medications that you can be place on can help reduce your cholesterol levels and prevent heart attacks and stroke. The side effects that you may experience with this medication are muscle pain and damage to your muscle. Another kind of medications we can place you on is a medication that prompts your liver to get rid of the excess cholesterol. The side effects that you may experience with this medication are stomach pain, bloating, and weight loss. There are also medications that gives your small intestine the excess cholesterol from your diet to get rid of and then releases it back into your blood. The side effects that you could experience with this medication are dizziness, headache, diarrhea and back pain. Lastly, we have a medication that you inject into your body through needle that will help lower your bad cholesterol levels. The side effects that you could experience are sore throat, stuffy nose, and you may get swelling, pain, or itching at the injection site (Medline Plus). I think that if you exercise and start eating well you can get your levels back down to normal and you will not need to take the medications. So, I must say regular health maintenance will
