Increased lumbar curvature, which compensates for the enlarging uterus in pregnant women, is called what?

A) Diabetic Neuropathy: Diabetic neuropathy is a common complication of diabetes that affects the nerves, particularly in the extremities. Symptoms include decreased sensation, numbness, and the development of non-healing ulcers on the feet due to loss of protective sensation and poor wound healing. This condition aligns with the patient's symptoms of decreased sensation and non-healing foot ulcers.
B) Chronic Arterial Insufficiency: Chronic arterial insufficiency typically presents with symptoms such as intermittent claudication (pain or cramping in the legs during activity), cold or pale extremities, and ulcers on the toes or feet that often have a more well-defined border. The non-healing ulcers and decreased sensation described are more characteristic of diabetic neuropathy than arterial insufficiency.
C) Lymphedema: Lymphedema is characterized by swelling due to lymph fluid accumulation, often affecting the lower extremities. While it can cause skin changes and ulcers, it is less commonly associated with decreased sensation and is more likely to present with swelling and skin changes rather than the specific combination of symptoms described.
D) Chronic Venous Insufficiency: Chronic venous insufficiency involves issues with blood return from the legs to the heart, leading to symptoms such as swelling, varicose veins, and ulcers typically around the ankles. It is usually associated with aching, heaviness, and swelling rather than the decreased sensation and non-healing ulcers seen in diabetic neuropathy.

A) Neither talk nor comprehend: This description does not accurately characterize receptive aphasia. Receptive aphasia, also known as Wernicke's aphasia, primarily affects comprehension, while speech production may remain intact. Patients with this condition may speak fluently but have difficulty understanding spoken or written language.
B) Talk but do not comprehend: Receptive aphasia is characterized by the ability to produce speech fluently but with impaired comprehension. Patients can talk and may produce coherent-sounding speech, but they struggle to understand others' speech and may not grasp the meaning of what they are saying.
C) No alteration in speech and language: Receptive aphasia involves specific alterations in speech and language, particularly in comprehension. While speech may be fluent, the content often lacks meaning or coherence, and comprehension is significantly impaired.
D) Comprehend but not able to talk: This description aligns more with expressive aphasia (Broca's aphasia), where patients have difficulty producing speech but generally retain comprehension abilities. Receptive aphasia affects comprehension while allowing relatively intact speech production.
