HHNKC is also known as diabetic hyperglycemic hyperosmolar coma (HHOC), hyperosmolar nonketotic coma (HONK), hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (HHS) or hyperosmolar hyperglycemic nonketotic syndrome (HHNS). In HHNKC, blood sugar levels rise, and your body tries to get rid of the excess sugar by passing it into your urine.
Pressures sores result from the death (necrosis) of tissues due to local deprivation of blood supply, and thus of oxygen (ischemic necrosis). This is why tissue compression is the first clinical sign of pressure sores; it blocks the small blood vessels supplying tissues.
Pressure cooking is the process of cooking food, using water or other cooking liquid, in a sealed vessel, known as a pressure cooker. As pressure cooking cooks food faster than conventional cooking methods, it saves energy. Pressure is created by boiling a liquid, such as water or broth, inside the closed pressure cooker. The trapped steam increases the internal pressure and allows the temperature to rise.
