b. fomite

c. nosocomial

d. iatrogenic

Answer:

A health care worker is accidentally punctured with a contaminated needle. This type of transmission is known as fomite.

<h3>What is transmission of disease?</h3>

When an infected person interacts or exchanges bodily fluids with another person, transmission occurs. This can happen before the infected individual even realizes they are sick. STDs (sexually transmitted infections) can be spread this way.

Fomite things that can transmit and spread disease and infectious organisms are referred to as fomite. Fomites are also referred to as passive vectors.

Neutropenia.

Having too few neutrophils, a particular kind of white blood cell, leads to neutropenia. While all white blood cells aid in the body's ability to fight infections, neutrophils are particularly crucial in the battle against some illnesses, particularly those brought on by bacteria.

You may be more susceptible to infections if you have neutropenia. Even common oral and digestive system bacteria can cause significant sickness when neutropenia is severe.

A reduction in neutrophils leads to fever and infection (neutropenia). Anemia, or low red blood cell counts, contributes to AML symptoms such pallor, weakness, and weariness.

Pancytopenia, a generalized drop in all blood components, is not the reason why AML patients have fever. In AML, petechiae and bruises are brought on by thrombocytopenia, a decrease in platelet count.

Androgens and estrogens are hormones that impact the sexual response cycle. Write about the four phases of that cycle and explai
madreJ [45]

Answer:

Females and males each have some amount of the sex hormones, androgens and estrogens. In males however, androgens like testosterone is more dominant and in females estrogens like estradiol are more dominant. The hormones both affect the sexual response cycle. The sexual response cycle has four phases: desire, arousal, orgasm and resolution. The desire phase can last anywhere from a few minutes to hours and includes physical changes like an increase in muscle tension, heartbeats quickening, flushed skin, and an increased flow of blood to genitals. The arousal phase extends to the brink of the orgasm phase, during this phase the changes experienced in the desire phase are intensified along with blood pressure increasing. The orgasm phase generally only lasts a few seconds and is the climax of the sexual response cycle, some characteristics include: Involuntary muscle contractions and spasms, blood pressure, breathing, and heart rate at their highest point, a release of built up sexual tension, and flushed skin. During the resolution phase the body returns to normal, often a sense of wellbeing and fatigue is achieved. To begin the cycle a male need a certain amount of the androgen, testosterone, but high levels in females tend to lead to more sexual thought and desires, typically though, women have relatively low levels of testosterone. In women, estrogens, such as estradiol are more common. Estrogens are produced when a girl starts puberty and helps her reproductive cycle begin. A high level of estrogen in men can lead to a reduced sex drive, loss of hair, or trouble focusing, but a normal level in men is crucial to proper erectile function.

A patient experiences chronic intermittent pain in the epigastric area when the stomach is empty and in the middle of the night.
Oliga [24]

Duodenal ulcer is the diagnosis for a patient who experiences chronic intermittent pain in the epigastric area when the stomach is empty and in the middle of the night.

A duodenal ulcer is a peptic ulcer that develops in the first part of the small intestine. It occurs in the lower part of the esophagus. Few symptoms of duodenal ulcer are a dull or burning pain in the belly. The main cause of this ulcer is bacterial infection. The bacteria causes the lining of the stomach to become inflamed and an ulcer can form. Few medications such as ibuprofen may also cause ulcer.

The wound generally heals on its own but if the ulcer is deep it can cause serious pain or bleeding.
