DOT is responsible for keeping the city's 6,300 miles of streets in good repair. DOT's street construction projects range from pothole repair to milling and repaving to full reconstruction of the street. Every year DOT lays millions of cubic yards of asphalt and repairs tens of thousands of potholes.
1 Hypokalemic periodic paralysis is a situation that may arise during pregnancy due to the extreme muscle weakness, due to low potassium level, for a short period of time.  Hypokalemia can cause the cardiac complication known as cardiac dysrhythmias (irregular heartbeats).
Certain medications can cause excess potassium loss in the urine. Blood pressure medications such as loop diuretics (e.g. furosemide) and thiazide diuretics (e.g. hydrochlorothiazide) commonly cause hypokalemia. Other medications such as the antifungal, amphotericin B, or the cancer drug, cisplatin, can also cause long-term hypokalemia. A special case of potassium loss occurs with diabetic ketoacidosis. Hypokalemia is observed with low total body potassium and a low intracellular concentration of potassium.
