beta cell exhaustion due to long-standing insulin resistance

destruction of beta cells that is not attributable to autoimmunity

actions of insulin autoantibodies (IAAs) and islet cell autoantibodies (ICAs)

T-lymphocyte-mediated hypersensitivity reactions

beta cell exhaustion due to long-standing insulin resistance

Explanation:

What are the symptoms?

The onset of ALS can be so subtle that the symptoms are overlooked but gradually these symptoms develop into more obvious weakness or atrophy.

Early symptoms include:

Muscle twitches in the arm, leg, shoulder, or tongue

Muscle cramps

Tight and stiff muscles (spasticity)

Muscle weakness affecting an arm, a leg, the neck, or diaphragm

Slurred and nasal speech

Difficulty chewing or swallowing

The first sign of ALS usually appears in the hand or arm and can show as difficulty with simple tasks such as buttoning a shirt, writing, or turning a key in a lock. In other cases, symptoms initially affect one leg. People experience awkwardness when walking or running, or they may trip or stumble more often. When symptoms begin in the arms or legs, it is referred to as “limb onset” ALS, and when individuals first notice speech or swallowing problems, it is termed “bulbar onset” ALS.

As the disease progresses, muscle weakness and atrophy spread to other parts of the body. Individuals may develop problems with moving, swallowing (called dysphagia), speaking or forming words (dysarthria), and breathing (dyspnea). Although the sequence of emerging symptoms and the rate of disease progression can vary from person to person, eventually individuals will not be able to stand or walk, get in or out of bed on their own, or use their hands and arms.

Individuals with ALS usually have difficulty swallowing and chewing food, which makes it hard to eat. They also burn calories at a faster rate than most people without ALS. Due to these factors, people with ALS tend to lose weight rapidly and can become malnourished.

Because people with ALS usually can perform higher mental processes such as reasoning, remembering, understanding, and problem solving, they are aware of their progressive loss of function and may become anxious and depressed. A small percentage of individuals may experience problems with language or decision-making, and there is growing evidence that some may even develop a form of dementia over time.

Individuals with ALS eventually lose the ability to breathe on their own and must depend on a ventilator. Affected individuals also face an increased risk of pneumonia during later stages of the disease. Besides muscle cramps that may cause discomfort, some individuals with ALS may develop painful neuropathy (nerve disease or damage).

Identify the general characteristics found in the archaeal cell membrane versus those observed in bacteria.
RSB [31]

Answer:

Cell membrane is a semi-permeable membrane that surrounds the cytoplasm.

Explanation:

Archea contains only 1 cell and they are prokaryotic organisms. They have a different molecular setting, thus making them different from bacteria.

Cell membrane of Archea:

  • In archeal cell membrane, isoprene chains are connected to glycerol lipid monolayer,
  • The cell membrane is either lipid bi layer or lipid mono layer.
  • Archeal cell wall contains pseudo peptidoglycan.

Cell Membrane of Bacteria:

  • In bacteria, the fatty acid chains are linked to glycerol.
  • The cell membrane is a lipid bilayer.
  • Bacterial wall contains peptidoglycans.

Describe the role of immune modulators. What is the difference between immune modulators and immune suppressants?
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

Immune modulators are the chemical agent that alters the immune system by stimulation or inhibition of the white blood cell activity.

Explanation:

A chemical agent that alters the immune response known as immune modulators. Immune modulators can stimulate or inhibit white cell activity or immune response, It is generally suggested in the poor immune systems because of disease like AIDS or rheumatoid arthritis.

The immune-suppressants use in the case of organ transplant to inhibit the white cell activity because it is a chemical agent that inhibits the white cell activity or immune response.

Thus, the immune suppressants are the agent that only inhibit the immune response whereas the immune modulator can stimulate or inhibit the immune response.
