A biomedical treatment for severe depression in which a brief electrical current is sent through the brain of an anesthetized patient is Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT)

Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) is done under anesthesia in which currents which are small in magnitude are passed on through the human brain in patients with severe depression.

ECT is used when the patient does not respond to other treatments which involves Electrically stimulating the brain while patient lies in anesthesia.

This stimulation causes a seizure which helps to relieve the symptomatic causes of the depression.

It does not lead to any damage to the brain and its cells.

Thus, it helps to treat the various mental disorders prevailing in the popoulation.

ECT is considered as the last usable option when all the treatments pre given have failed to treat the patient.

A co-worker was sanding an object on a belt sander when he slipped. He has an abrasion on his elbow that is about 3 inches long
elena55 [62]

This question is incomplete because the options are missing; here is the complete question:

A co-worker was sanding an object on a belt sander when he slipped. He has an abrasion on his elbow that is about 3 inches long 2 inches wide. The wound bled a little at first but has stopped. What type of bleeding is this most likely to be?

A. Capillary

B. Venous

C. Arterial

D. Both venous and arterial

The answer to this question is A. Capillary

Explanation:

Capillary bleeding is the least serious bleeding, this occurs in superficial wounds including abrasions, and in most cases, this type of bleed will stop after some minutes without any intervention. Moreover, this bleeding is caused due to the damage of capillaries, which are very small blood vessels.

Capillary bleeding is most likely the bleeding in the co-worker because the injury was mainly superficial and the bleeding stop after some minutes. Also, the blood loss was minimal, which occurs in capillary bleeding but not in arterial or venous bleeding.

Each mature sperm cell contains ______ (number) chromosomes. Upon fertilization of the secondary oocyte. It completes meiosis II
butalik [34]

Answer:

The correct answer is - 23 (haploid).

Explanation:

Each mature sperm cell is a gamete that is produced by the meiosis type of cell division. Meiosis is the cell cycle that produces four cycle with the half chromosome in number than that of the parent cell. Humans have 46 chromosomes in but as explained the sperm or the gamete have only of that which is 23.

The same goes for ovum which is form by the meiosis second process from oocyte which is basically the egg cell. Both sperm and the ovum fuse to fertilize.

Thus, the correct answer is - 23 (Haploid)

Antibiotics are routinely introduced into the food of cattle, chickens and other livestock, which causes the animals to grow fas
Rudik [331]

Answer:

Bacteria are highly adaptable microorganisms who have the capability of developing defense mechanisms against that which may harm them. Not least important of all, is the easiness with which some bacteria, especially pathogenic bacteria like Salmonella, or Klebsiella, develop mechanisms of resistance to antiseptics and, most importantly, antibiotics.

Antibiotics are a chemical substance that was created, and has been developed, in order to be able to combat pathogenic microorganisms, specifically bacteria. However, because today these substances are being used indiscriminately, we are now seeing a very worrying pattern of antibiotic-resistance patterns in microorganisms that used to be sensible to them. The result, we are facing strains of pathogenic bacteria, like Klebsiella pneumonia and E. Coli, that have become resistan to all types of antibiotics, from first generation, to fourth generation. And this has meant that when people acquire infection by these pathogens, the likelihood of death by them has increased because there are no agents capable of combating them.

Exposure to antibiotics has been the sole reason why these resistant strains of bacteria have emerged, especially when these antibiotics are not necessary. And feeding these substances to animals, to ensure their development and weight gain, has not made the situation any better. Now, we are instead adding also bacteria to the list that did not use to be resistant, but that are becoming so as they become adjusted to the constant exposure to antibiotics. Again, the result has been: more people infected with bacterial strains that cannot be combated with any of the existing antibiotic agents.
