Greater decreases in overall brain volume in later adulthood is associated with an unclear exact relationship in cognitive abilities and cognitive functioning.

<h3>How brain changes in late adulthood?</h3>

The brain's size reaches roughly 90% of its adult volume by the time a child is six years old. The brain begins to contract in our 30s and 40s, and by the time we reach our 60s, the brain is contracting even more rapidly. The brain begins to change in appearance, just like wrinkles and gray hair do later in life.

The brain actually shrinks and its overall mass decreases as adults. There are decreases in some neurotransmitters as well, including dopamine and acetylcholine. Loss of memory for recent events, familiar names, and familiar duties is the first sign of Alzheimer's disease. In old age, general knowledge memory does not deteriorate. There has been a deterioration in episodic and event memory.

A person weighs 150.0 lb, and the correct dosage of a drug is given as 1.50 mg per kilogram of body weight. How many milligrams
Rama09 [41]

<u>Answer:</u> The amount of drug that must be given is 102.3 grams

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Weight of the person = 150.0 lb

Converting this weight into kilograms, we use the conversion factor:

1 kg = 2.20 lb

So, 150.0lb\times (\frac{1kg}{2.20lb})=68.2kg

Applying unitary method:

For 1 kg of body weight, the correct dosage of the drug is 1.50 mg

So, for 68.2 kg of body weight, the correct dosage of the drug will be \frac{1.50mg}{1kg}\times 68.2kg=102.3mg

Hence, the amount of drug that must be given is 102.3 grams

Not sure what medications you learned this week. but, psychiatric medications are not used with patients with dementia because it advances their deterioration.
alzheimer’s disease is a type of dementia in which plaques and tangles develop in the patient’s brain, which deteriorates the brain. it is only definitively diagnosable during autopsy.
it is important to have an understanding of medications to know what actually helps patients with alzheimer’s, and what will not further progress the disease.

uysha [10]

Answer:

10 per 1,000.

Explanation:

The death rate and birth rate affects the population dynamics of the particular area. The birth rate increases  the population size whereas the death rate decreases the population size.

The death rate of a population can be calculated by the following formula:

Crude death rate = total death/ total population

Here, total death = 1,000 and total population = 100,000.

Crude death rate = 1,000/ 100,000 = 0.01 or  10 per 1,000.

Thus, the correct answer is option (c).
