SBP is a serious complication in patients with cirrhosis with high mortality rates (20–40%).

Patients at risk of developing SBP can be categorized in three groups firstly patients with active variceal bleeding patients with ascitic fluid protein <10 g/dl secondly those with a prior episode of SBP.

The most common bacteria causing SBP are gram-negative Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae and gram-positive Streptococcus pneumoniae usually only a single organism is involved. Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP), an infection of ascitic fluid without a definitive intra-abdominal source that can be surgically treated is a common complication in patients with cirrhosis and ascites. Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP),is treated with a 10 to 14 day course of antibiotics .

The prolonged electrical depolarization of cardiac muscle cells that occurs during contraction is due primarily to the persisten
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

The prolonged electrical depolarization of cardiac muscle cells -that occurs during contraction- is due primarily to the persistent influx of calcium ion

Explanation:

The action potential of the heart muscle is longer with respect to skeletal muscle (around 300 milliseconds), and this is due to the activity of calcium (Ca⁺⁺ ) in the intracellular compartment.

The initial depolarization of cardiac muscle fiber depends on the entry of sodium (Na⁺) into the cell. However, for the action potential to occur and be maintained, Ca⁺⁺  must increase its cytoplasmic levels, which depends on:

  1. The increase in intracellular sodium induces the release of Ca⁺⁺ from the sarcoplasmic reticulum.
  2. Calcium entry from the extracellular space through the voltage dependent Ca⁺⁺ channels.
  3. The entry of extracellular Ca⁺⁺ causes the release of more Ca⁺⁺ ions by the sarcoplasmic reticulum, further increasing its intracellular concentration.

This is how the ion that guarantees the duration of the action potential of the cardiac muscle cell is the Ca⁺⁺.

The per capita ecological footprint is the total ecological footprint for a given country or area
Phantasy [73]

The per capita ecological footprint is the total ecological footprint for a given country or area is false and is therefore denoted as option B.

<h3>What is Ecological footprint?</h3>

This is referred to as the amount of land which is required to ensure that there is adequate use and sustainability of the resources which are present in area at a given period of time.

The per capita ecological footprint is the average ecological footprint for a given country or area and not the total ecological footprint which is therefore the reason why false was chosen as the most appropriate choice.
