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.

Explain why increasing extracellular K+ causes the membrane potential to change to a less negative value
Pavlova-9 [17]

Increasing extracellular K+ increases the positive charge outside the cell, making the inside of the cell (membrane potential) more negative. This inhibits net diffusion of Na+ into or out of the cell.

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

33 mL  

Explanation:

It is important to recognize that the total amount of pure syrup remains constant:

Total syrup in the stock solution = total syrup in dilute solution

Thus, we can use the dilution formula

V₁c₁ = V₂ c₂

Data:

V₁ = ?;          c₁ = 80 %  

V₂ = 47 mL; c₂ = 24 %

Calculations:

1. The volume of stock syrup

\begin{array}{rcl}V_{1}c_{1} & = & V_{2}c_{2}\\V_{1}\times80 \, \% & = & \text{47 mL}\times 24 \, \%\\80V_{1} & = & \text{1130 mL}\\V_{2}&=& \dfrac{\text{1130 mL}}{80}\\\\&=&\text{14 mL}\\\end{array}\\\text{You need $\textbf{14 mL}$ of stock syrup.}

2.  The volume of soda solution

Total volume of dilute solution =  47 mL

The volume of stock syrup        =  <u>14 </u>

Volume of soda solution            = 33 mL

You need 33 mL of soda solution.
