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).
In hypokalemia, the level of potassium in blood is too low. 1  A low potassium level has many causes but usually results from vomiting, diarrhea, adrenal gland disorders, or use of diuretics. 2  A low potassium level can make muscles feel weak, cramp, twitch, or even become paralyzed, and abnormal heart rhythms may develop.
