Answer:

It is important to learn the prefixes and suffixes because it not only helps in improving the reading but it can also help to understand the term itself

In medical field, if u just learn the prefixes and suffixes and their meaning (because they are either Greek or Latin words), you don't need to memorize all the names of diseases and other terminology because you understand the components. For example 1 prefix or suffix can be used in many other places :

The suffix "genesis" is a Greek word, meaning to produce something. It can be used in many terms

  • Osteogenesis
  • Gametogensis
  • Pathogensis

In all  these words, we know something is being produced, even if we don't know the word, it gives us a hint.!

Itll be smarter to know the affixes instead because then you can infer what the meaning is instead of having to memorize words

<h3>What are corticosteroids?</h3>

Corticosteroids are also known as steroids. These are anti-inflammatory medicines that are prescribed for a wide range of conditions.

There are different forms of corticosteroids available. These are

  • Tablets; which are oral steroids.
  • Injections; which can be injected into blood vessels, joints or muscles.
  • Inhalers; are oral or nasal sprays.

Which of the following is true regarding panic disorder in children?
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

A. Children report more cognitive symptoms than adults, is true regarding panic disorders in children.

Explanation:

A. Children report more cognitive symptoms than adults.  

Children with panic disorder are more anxious as compared to adults even when they are not having panic attacks. They report severe cognitive symptoms such as fear of an attack, reluctance to perform well in school, avoiding certain places due to fear of attack called agoraphobia, depression, substance abuse and suicidal behaviors. Hence, children may also need psychotherapy along with panic disorder medications so that they could control their anxiety. Early treatment of panic disorder with cognitive behavioral therapies may prevent complications such as agarophobia, and depression in children.  

B. Children experience only cued panic attacks.  

Both children and adolescents have unexpected panic attacks which might be triggered by anything which causes anxiety in them. They should have varying periods of fear and discomfort which might last minutes to hours.  

C. Children may report a general fear of becoming sick rather than specific physical symptom

A child suffering from panic attacks may have heart-attack like symptoms with a racing heart, fear of death and losing control, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, and physical symptoms including nausea, vomiting, dizziness, shortness of breath etc. Moreover, children are also left with an intense fear of another panic attack which might trigger these symptoms. Thus, they become less functional and has a fear of changing places, habits as anything might trigger their symptoms. So, children are more anxious about the physical symptoms ensuing the panic attack and tries their best to avoid it.

How do vaccines work? Do they work against viruses and bacteria? Why there<br> are so many vaccines.
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

Vaccines train our immune systems to create proteins that fight disease, known as ‘antibodies’, just as would happen when we are exposed to a disease but – crucially – vaccines work without making us sick. Live, attenuated vaccines fight viruses and bacteria. These vaccines

contain a version of the living virus or bacteria that has been weakened

so that it does not cause serious disease in people with healthy immune

systems. Because live, attenuated vaccines are the closest thing to a

natural infection, they are good teachers for the immune system.

Examples of live, attenuated vaccines include measles, mumps, and

rubella vaccine (MMR) and varicella (chickenpox) vaccine. Even

though they are very effective, not everyone can receive these vaccines.

Children with weakened immune systems—for example, those who are

undergoing chemotherapy—cannot get live vaccines. Those are only some vaccines, of course not all vaccines inject a live virus into your body. And of course, there are so many vaccines because (unfortunately) there are so many diseases!
