Answer:

Pneumococcal, meningococcal, and Haemophilus influenzae (Hib) vaccinations.

Explanation:

Immunization against encapsulated bacterial pathogens decreases the incidence of post-splenectomy sepsis. Pneumococcal, meningococcal, and Haemophilus influenzae (Hib) vaccinations are indicated for patients after splenectomy. These immunizations should be given at least 14 days before a scheduled splenectomy, or given after the fourteenth postoperative day (strength of recommendation [SOR]: A,based on systematic review of RCTs for the pneumococcal vaccine; SOR: B, based on systematic review of clinical trials for meningococcal and Hib vaccines).

If the osmotic pressure in the glomerular capillaries increased from 28 mmhg to 35 mmhg due to dehydration, would net filtration
Serggg [28]

If the osmotic pressure in the glomerular capillaries increased from 28 mmhg to 35 mmhg due to dehydration, in this case, the net filtration would decrease.

<h3>What is glomerular filtration and where does it occur?</h3>

Urine is formed in the nephrons basically in two stages: glomerular filtration and renal reabsorption. It is in the glomerular capsule that occurs through extra glomerular filtration, which consists of bleeding from the blood plasma part of the renal glomerulus into the glomerular capsule. The extravasated liquid is called filtration.

In this case, we can see that the net filtration would decrease because the glomerular capillaries increased from 28 mmhg to 35 mmhg due to dehydration.

Blood is taken from veins not from arteries. Why?​
frosja888 [35]
Veins are favored over arteries because they have thinner walls, and thus they are easier to pierce. There is also lower blood pressure in veins so that bleeding can be stopped more quickly and easily than with arterial puncture.

Which of the following does NOT involve the hypothalamic-pituitary axis of hormone function regulation?
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

(D). oxytocin.

Explanation:

The hypothalamic-pituitary axis can be defined a pathway that plays a central role in regulation of various endocrine glands. Hormones released from hypothalamus stimulates pituitary gland, which in turns secrete pituitary hormones to regulate release of hormones from other endocrine glands.  

Regulation of growth hormone (somatotropin), cortisol (adrenal hormone), prolactin, and T3 (thyroid hormone) is done by hypothalamic-pituitary axis.

Oxytocin is a peptide hormone, which is synthesized by hypothalamus and secreted by posterior pituitary gland. However, level of oxytocin is regulated by positive feedback in loop, in which hormone itself regulates its release and does not involves regulation by hypothalamic-pituitary axis.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).
