Diabetes Insipidus.

Caused by a lack of ADH which stimulates the re-absorption of water and sodium. This diabetes has nothing to do with blood sugar.

Diabetes Mellitus: Type 1 & 2

key S/S: 3 P’s 

• polyphagia (excessive hunger)
• polydipsia (excessive thirst)
• polyuira (excessive passage of urine)

This is a really good one for understanding everything that goes along with DM. I would suggest really paying attention to everything on here.

fuckyeahmedicalstuff:

Coronary stents are mesh scaffolds that are threaded into arteries and then expanded, usually by inflating a balloon inside the stent, to hold a previously plaque-clogged vessel open. Stents are often employed following angioplasty, in which an unstented balloon is first inflated to widen a clogged or narrowed artery; the stent is then inserted and expanded by another balloon to keep the vessel from renarrowing. Direct stenting [above] opens the artery and implants the stent in one step.
