Essential Concepts in Database Management Systems (DBMS)
Database Administrator (DBA) Functions
A Database Administrator (DBA) is responsible for managing and maintaining the database system. Key functions include:
- Ensuring data security.
- Creating and managing user accounts.
- Managing storage allocation.
- Performing backups and recovery procedures.
- Tuning database performance.
- Maintaining database integrity.

Stroke: Causes, Symptoms, and Nursing Care
Strokes happen when blood flow to your brain stops. Within minutes, brain cells begin to die. There are two main kinds of stroke:
- Ischemic Stroke: The more common kind, caused by a blood clot that blocks or plugs a blood vessel in the brain.
- Hemorrhagic Stroke: Caused by a blood vessel that breaks and bleeds into the brain.
Transient Ischemic Attacks (TIAs), often called “mini-strokes,” occur when the blood supply to the brain is briefly interrupted.

Database Management Systems: Concepts and Components
Definition of a Database Management System (DBMS)
A DBMS is an application that allows users to define, create, and maintain the database (DB) and provide controlled access to it.
Services Provided by a DBMS
- Creation and definition of the database.
- Manipulating data using queries, inserts, and updates via data manipulation languages.
- Controlled access to data through security mechanisms for user access.
- Maintaining the integrity and consistency of the data using mechanisms to prevent data from being damaged

Diabetes: Type 1 vs. Type 2
In Type 2 diabetes, insulin is produced, but it does not affect the body’s cells. In contrast, with Type 1 diabetes, no insulin is produced at all. Management for diabetes can include exercise and careful control of diet.
Cellular Respiration and Muscle Contraction
Glucose serves as a respiratory substrate, used to produce ATP. This ATP is required to unbind the globular myosin heads from the actin-myosin cross-bridges, allowing them to re-bind further
