Proper and frequent hand-washing techniques can be considered a biomedical innovation in the 19th century because, during that time, it was the introduction of something new.

<h3>What is hand-washing?</h3>
  • Hand-washing was a new method introduced to medicine and clinical environments to keep areas as sanitary as possible and prevent the spread of disease.
  • The act of washing one's hands with soap or hand-washing and water is referred to as hand hygiene and is done to get rid of bacteria, viruses, and other harmful and undesired items that have adhered to the hands. As wet and moist hands are more easily recontaminated, drying the cleansed hands is a necessary step in the process.
  • Unless hands are visibly abnormally unclean or greasy, hand sanitizer that is at least 60% (v/v) alcohol in water can be used in place of soap and water if neither is available.
  • In order to stop the spread of infectious diseases at home and in other settings, hand-washing is essential to practice good hand hygiene.

Kohlberg believed that we cannot attain the highest level of moral reasoning until we first reach Piagets stage of: postconventi
exis [7]

Answer:

Formal operational thought.

Explanation:

Kohlberg did some studies on morality and proposed a theory on moral development.

Kohlberg defined three different levels of morality (and each level consists in 2 stages).

These levels are

  • Pre conventional
  • Conventional
  • Post conventional

In the preconventional level, the person's morality is externally controlled and therefore acts based on what the punishment will be (1st stage) or based on how good will it be for him/her to act in some way (2nd stage)

The conventional level stages also have to do with external controls but now the person thinks in function of ensuring positive relationships and societal order. The third stage here depends on the approval of others. The fourth stage has to do with accepting rules because they preserve the society order  and functioning.

The postconventional level stages are defined in more abstract principles or values. The 5th stage sees the world as a place with different values that must be respected. Finally the 6th stage is based in universal ethical abstract principles.

Jean Piaget was a psychologist who developed a theory on cognitive development from birth to adolescence according to which people go through different stages in their process of thinking developing a more mature and rational thinking as they grow.

The last stage according to Piaget is the formal operational stage which starts at age 12 and involves an increase in logic and an understanding of abstract ideas and principles. Before this stage, kids cannot understand abstract concepts such as justice.

According to Kohlberg, a person couldn't reach the postconventional level of moral reasoning (which involves abstract principles)  if they weren't at the formal operational stage which is when they could be able to understand abstract principles.

Online Engagement with Surgical Treatments for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: Are Minimally Invasive Surgical Therapies Outpacing
Rzqust [24]

No minimally Invasive Surgical Therapies are not outpacing the Gold Standard.

<h3>Prostatic Hyperplasia</h3>

Benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH, is an enlargement of the prostate gland in males that is not a malignant condition. Additionally known as benign prostatic blockage or benign prostatic obstruction, benign prostatic hyperplasia has these names. As a man ages, the prostate grows in two distinct phases. Early in adolescence, the prostate doubles in size, which is the first sign. Nearly all of a man's life is spent in the second phase of growth, which starts at age 25. With the second growth phase comes benign prostatic hyperplasia quite frequently. The urethra is pressed up against and compressed as the prostate enlarges. Intensification of the bladder wall When the bladder eventually becomes weak and can no longer entirely empty, some pee may remain in the bladder.

If the osmotic pressure in the glomerular capillaries increased from 28 mmhg to 35 mmhg due to dehydration, would net filtration
Serggg [28]

If the osmotic pressure in the glomerular capillaries increased from 28 mmhg to 35 mmhg due to dehydration, in this case, the net filtration would decrease.

<h3>What is glomerular filtration and where does it occur?</h3>

Urine is formed in the nephrons basically in two stages: glomerular filtration and renal reabsorption. It is in the glomerular capsule that occurs through extra glomerular filtration, which consists of bleeding from the blood plasma part of the renal glomerulus into the glomerular capsule. The extravasated liquid is called filtration.

In this case, we can see that the net filtration would decrease because the glomerular capillaries increased from 28 mmhg to 35 mmhg due to dehydration.

What is most likely to occur in a patient infected with a mutant strain of Bordetella pertussis that lacks functional adhesins?
Nata [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is D.

Explanation:

Bordetella pertussis is a gram-negative coccobacillus that causes a disease called whooping cough.

The bacterium infests the patients by colonizing lung epithelial cells. To do so, it requires adhesins, called filamentous haemagglutinin, fimbriae and pertactin. Once the bacterium is attached to the lung epithelial cells, it produces a cytotoxin that prevents their cilia from moving.

Another virulent factor from B. pertussis is the pertussis toxin, which alters host immune system through the inhibition of phagocytes response to it.
