  • Smoke test: The top food sources --- edited
    Federal guidelines suggest minimum daily amounts for vitamins and key minerals. However, unless you need to increase your intake for specific ones because of a deficiency or other medical reason, following so many numbers can be confusing. The best approach to ensure you get a variety of vitamins and minerals, and in the proper amounts, is to adopt a broad healthy diet. This involves an emphasis on fruits and vegetables, whole grains, beans and legumes, low-fat protein, and dairy products. The good news is that many common foods contain multiple mineral and vitamin sources, so it is easy to meet your daily needs from everyday meals. --- edited

  • What are the complications of diabetes? -- edited
    Diabetes can lead to acute (sudden and severe) and long-term complications — mainly due to extreme or prolonged high blood sugar levels. Acute diabetes complications Acute diabetes complications that can be life-threatening include: Hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (HHS): This complication mainly affects people with Type 2 diabetes. It happens when your blood sugar levels are very high (over 600 milligrams per deciliter or mg/dL) for a long period, leading to severe dehydration and confusion. It requires immediate medical treatment. Diabetes-related ketoacidosis (DKA): This complication mainly affects people with Type 1 diabetes or undiagnosed T1D. It happens when your body doesn’t have enough insulin. If your body doesn’t have insulin, it can’t use glucose for energy, so it breaks down fat instead. This process eventually releases substances called ketones, which turn your blood acidic. This causes labored breathing, vomiting and loss of consciousness. DKA requires immediate medical treatment. Severe low blood sugar (hypoglycemia): Hypoglycemia happens when your blood sugar level drops below the range that’s healthy for you. Severe hypoglycemia is very low blood sugar. It mainly affects people with diabetes who use insulin. Signs include blurred or double vision, clumsiness, disorientation and seizures. It requires treatment with emergency glucagon and/or medical intervention. Long-term diabetes complications Blood glucose levels that remain high for too long can damage your body’s tissues and organs. This is mainly due to damage to your blood vessels and nerves, which support your body’s tissues. Cardiovascular (heart and blood vessel) issues are the most common type of long-term diabetes complication. They include: Coronary artery disease. Heart attack. Stroke. Atherosclerosis. edited

  • Legal Requirements for Identification of and Educational Services for Children With ADHD
    Two important federal mandates protect the rights of eligible children with ADHD-the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504). The regulations implementing these laws are 34 CFR sections 300 and 104, respectively, which require school districts to provide a "free appropriate public education" to students who meet their eligibility criteria. Although a child with ADHD may not be eligible for services under IDEA, he or she may meet the requirements of Section 504.

  • Efficient data management — a critical skill
    Efficient data management — a critical skill Efficient data management is another critical aspect of back-end development. Full stack developers are skilled in working with databases, whether it's relational databases like MySQL and PostgreSQL or NoSQL databases like MongoDB. They design database schemas, optimize queries, and ensure data integrity and security. They also implement caching mechanisms and performance optimization techniques to enhance the speed and scalability of the back-end system. As full stack developers are responsible for both the front-end and back-end components of an application, they ensure a seamless integration between the user interface and the underlying back-end logic. They define and clarify the data architecture and establish communication protocols across the front and back ends. It’s a holistic approach that allows them to quickly identify and troubleshoot any issues that arise during the development process. Full stack developers: An increasingly important role As the complexity of web applications grows, the role of back-end developers becomes increasingly important. Full stack developers who excel across the stack are highly sought after by companies in many industries. They bring a comprehensive understanding of the entire web development stack, from the front end to the back end, and can drive the development of robust, scalable, and efficient applications.

  • Organizational Supports for ADHD Students - ADDED
    ADHD is a problem with attention, so adult ADHD can make it hard to succeed in today’s fast-paced, hustle-bustle world. Many people find that distractibility can lead to a history of career under-performance, especially in noisy or busy offices. If you have adult ADHD, you might find that phone calls or email derail your attention, making it hard for you to finish tasks. No. 5: Poor Listening Skills Do you zone out during long business meetings? Did your husband forget to pick up your child at baseball practice, even though you called to remind him on his way home? Problems with attention result in poor listening skills in many adults with ADHD, leading to a lot of missed appointments and misunderstandings.

  • How to Encourage a Child's Brain Development
    Children’s brains develop rapidly from ages birth through three. Brain development affects all areas of a child’s growth. There are four main areas of development: motor (physical), language and communication, social and emotional, and cognitive. Brain development is part of cognitive development. Cognitive development describes how a child’s intellect grows, and includes thinking, learning and problem-solving skills. These skills affect all other areas of development. The first three years of a child’s life are critical for learning and development. Many parents ask how they can help their child’s brain develop. The best way is to actively engage your child through everyday activities like playing, reading and being there when he/she feels stress.
