Fever and chills in malaria are caused by a pigment compound known as hemozoin, which is generally a by-product of the digestion of hemoglobin by malarial parasites.

Malaria is a contagious and sometimes life-threatening disease that is caused by a parasite known as plasmodium, transferred by a vector.

The female Anopheles mosquito works as a vector to transfer the parasite into the human body. When the parasites enter your body, they travel to the liver where they multiply. They possess the red blood cells in the liver and keep multiplying until the cell bursts. They digest the hemoglobin in the blood and form hemozoin.

Hemozoin is a necessary pigment for the survival of parasites and the removal of parasitic waste.

Common symptoms of malaria include fever, chills, and headache. These symptoms are generally caused due to release of parasitic waste through hemozoin. The medications prescribed for malaria inhibit the formation of hemozoin, thus preventing malaria.

abruzzese [7]

Monitoring blood glucose levels frequently and observing closely for signs of hypoglycemia is the priority nursing action.

What is a macrosomic infant?

The term "fetal macrosomia" is used to describe a newborn who's much larger than average. A baby who is diagnosed as having fetal macrosomia weighs more than 8 pounds, 13 ounces (4,000 grams), regardless of his or her gestational age.

This infant is macrosomic (over 4000 g) and is at high risk for hypoglycemia. Blood glucose levels should be monitored frequently, and the infant should be observed closely for signs of hypoglycemia. Observation may occur in the nursery or in the mother's room, depending on the condition of the fetus. Regardless of gestational age, this infant is macrosomic.

To learn more about the macrosomic infant the link is given below:

Name and describe one of the three conditions Dr. Natterson-Horowitz mentions that there have been well-studies by veterinarians
Setler [38]

Answer:

One of the conditions that she describe   was induced heart failure, which is basically  a “broken heart.” She says that human  doctors apparently discovered that this is  true in humans around 2000. However,  veterinarians had recognized this in the  earlier 1970s. This just goes to show that  there are more correlations between the two  than people realize and could help  substantially.   Do you find Dr. Natterson-Horowitz's argument  that physicians can learn a lot from  veterinarians convincing? What part of her  argument is, to you, especially strong or weak?   I think that her argument is extremely  convincing and I definitely agree with her.  Her statements about how she performed the same functions on both humans and  other animals helped portray the argument  she was making but was also a strong point.  I also thought that her naming the three conditions was very strong

In what way are aldosterone and atrial natriuretic hormones antagonists?
Luba_88 [7]

Explanation:

Aldosterone is steroidal hormone which is produced by outer-section of adrenal cortex in adrenal gland. It acts on distal tubules and the collecting ducts of kidney to cause conservation of the sodium by facilitating the secretion of the potassium and increased water retention.

Atrial natriuretic hormones are natriuretic peptide hormone which are secreted from cardiac atria. Main function of the hormone is causing reduction in the volume of the expanded extracellular fluid by increasing the renal sodium excretion.

<u>Thus, Atrial natriuretic hormones causes sodium and the Water loss while Aldosterone helps in the conservation of the sodium and water retention.</u>
