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.

John Doe is an individual that left his country in an effort to make a better life. However, he does not have legal status in America and was recently arrested for shoplifting merchandise, which was valued over $1,000. At the time of his arrest, John voluntarily began to make incriminating statements to the arresting officers. At the police station, detectives conducted an interview of John asking him about the theft. John Doe has had no prior arrests, is 35 years old, and most of John Doe’s family still resides in his home country. Due to the amount of money involved, the crime is deemed a felony and John was arrested and placed in the county jail in Toms River, NJ. He is

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.
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.
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
First, let me explain what cholesterol is. Cholesterol is fat that is found in all your cells throughout your body. The organ that is responsible for making cholesterol is the liver. Let me explain your levels and the normal range for each level. So, we look at how much fat is in your blood and how at risk you are for heart disease and your level was a 145 mg/dl and the normal level is a less than 150 mg/dl. Someone with a 150-199 mg/dl level is borderline high and someone with a level of 200-499 mg/dl is high. So just look at it like this the high the level the more at risk for disease. Next, we looked at your bad cholesterol which tells us if there is any cholesterol has accumulated and if there are any arteries that may be blocked, your bad cholesterol level was 160 mg/dl and the normal level is less than 100 mg/dl. So, your bad cholesterol is high and may be putting you at risk for heart disease and other health issues. Someone with a level of 100-129 mg/dl is acceptable for people who doesn’t have any health concerns. But is more of a concern if you have health concerns. Someone with a 130-159 mg/dl is borderline high and someone with a 160-189 mg/dl is high. Again, the high the levels the more risk for heart disease. Then, we looked at your good cholesterol which is what helps to remove the cholesterol from your arteries. Your good cholesterol level was a 33 mg/dl which puts you at major risk for heart disease. A
