Nasotracheal suctioning  remove fluids or mucus collecting in the airways so the patient can breathe. It literally suctions the airways through a tube threaded into the nose, so it is a delicate procedure. The values you mentioned indicate that the patient is experiencing bradycardia (slowed heartbeat) and hypotension (low blood pressure). Bradycardia and hypotension while doing nasotracheal suctioning indicate that the patient is not tolerating the procedure. In that case, stop suctioning right away and remove the catheter; that is the first priority. Then provide supplemental oxygen (on face mask if possible), and call the doctor.

What is the effect on a plate when a slab sinks
mestny [16]
The slab sinks faster and this pulls on the rest of the plate, continuing plate tectonics. Mantle convection creates the instability that allows plate tectonics to get going and helps a little, but it's not thought to be the main driving force

Disulfide Bonds Determine the Properties of Many Proteins Some natural proteins are rich in disulfide bonds, and their mechanica
Viktor [21]

Answer:

Part A - Increases the mechanical strength of protein

Part B - Disulfide bonds in the BPTI cysteines residues prevent protein from changing its structure and form

Explanation:

Remaining part of question

Part B

Most globular proteins are denatured and lose their activity when briefly heated to 65 degree C. However, globular proteins that contain multiple disulfide bonds often must be heated longer at higher temperatures to denature them. One such protein is bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (BPTI), which has 58 amino acid residues in a single chain and contains three disulfide bonds. On cooling a solution of denatured BPTI, the activity of the protein is restored. What is the molecular basis for this property?

Solution

Part A

Disulfide bonds are covalent bonds which are much stronger than the non-covalent forces in protein i.e hydrogen bonds, weak wander vaal forces etc. Being strong in nature, the disulfide bonds causes cross linking between the chains of protein. This cross linking develops strong bonds that enhance the stiffness and hardness of the protein thereby increasing its mechanical strength. Stability increases because the entropy decreases.  

Part B

The disulfide bonds with in the BPTI’s three adjacent cysteines, prevents the protein from changing its structure to any stable form and hence prevent it from folding and unfolding completely
