Why are men more prone to having kidney stones than women? how can an individual lower the risk of developing kidney stones? how can you as the medical assistant support the individual experiencing kidney stones?

I do not know that there has been any reason discovered for why men are more prone to have kidney stones than females.  Some have suggested that diet may have something to do with this.  A high protein and high salt diet make kidney stones more likely.  Men tend to have a greater intake of both protein and salt.  As women started following diets such as the South Beach diet or Adkins diet, the incidence of kidney stones has been increasing in women over the past 20 years.  Obviously, there could be some contribution to female and male hormones, but this has never been proven.

They probably don't understand either 1. what the nightmare is about or 2. his anxiety and stress

Muscles in the body us with a lot of things for example, if i wanted to lift a heavy box and had no muscle i would just collapse where i was because of the fact muscles hold us together. overall they are 650 muscle in the human body, all of them have different purposes and ways to keep us together. there are three types of muscle in the body skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscle. skeletal muscle are attached to the bone and with movement. smooth muscle, this is found in the wall of our organs, such as our stomach, this muscle with movement   as well, without this muscle, we would only be allowed to eat small amounts. the cardiac muscle is the heart muscle and probably the most important one. these are only found in the walls of the heart and the heart pump blood to the other parts of your body. we have two different types of muscle fibers, slow twitch and fast twitch. slow twitch muscles enable long-endurance feats such as distance running. fast twitch fatigue faster but are used in powerful bursts of movements like sprinting. there are three different types of muscle contractions concentric, eccentric, isometric. concentric contraction causes muscles to shorten, thereby generating force.   eccentric contractions cause muscles to elongate in response to a greater opposing force. isometric contractions generate force without changing the length of the muscle.: //athleticquickness.com/muscle-contraction-types-part-1/
