Answer:

The correct option is : c. bind their ligands via multiple weak interactions

Explanation:

Lectins are the protein molecules that bind to the carbohydrate molecules and have high specificity for the sugar groups of other molecules. They have a role in the cellular and molecular recognition. It also mediates the binding of virus and bacteria to the targets.

Lectins contain two or more binding sites for the carbohydrate molecules. The strong binding in lectins is a result of multiple weak interactions.

To treat gastric acid reflux, one may prescribe a(an) _______ inhibitor.
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

(B). H⁺/K⁺ ATPase.

Explanation:

H⁺/K⁺ ATPase (or hydrogen-potassium pump) is a proton pump, present in parietal cells of stomach. The main function of hydrogen-potassium pump is to acidify the contents of stomach and to activate pepsin (a digestive enzyme).

It helps in gastric acid formation releasing hydrogen ions to the lumen with exchange of potassium ions.

Gastric acid reflux represents a condition, in which stomach acid comes up to the esophagus from stomach. Hence, one way to treat gastric acid reflux is to inhibit H⁺/K⁺ ATPase that would decrease synthesis of gastric acid in stomach.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

This paper identifies evolving trends in the diagnosis and treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and recommends the integration of nursing strategies in COPD management via widespread implementation of electronic health records. COPD is a complex lung disease with diverse origins, both physical and behavioral, manifested in a wide range of symptoms that further increase the patient’s risk for comorbidities. Early diagnosis and effective management of COPD require monitoring of a dizzying array of COPD symptoms over extended periods of time, and nurses are especially well positioned to manage potential progressions of COPD, as frontline health care providers who obtain, record, and organize patient data. Developments in medical technology greatly aid nursing management of COPD, from the deployment of spirometry as a diagnostic tool at the family practice level to newly approved treatment options, including non-nicotine pharmacotherapies that reduce the cravings associated with tobacco withdrawal. Among new medical technologies, electronic health records have proven particularly advantageous in the management of COPD, enabling providers to gather, maintain, and reference more patient data than has ever been possible before. Thus, consistent and widespread implementation of electronic health records facilitates the coordination of diverse treatment strategies, resulting in increased positive health outcomes for patients with COPD.

Conclusions

COPD patients can be sub-classified into groups with differing risk factors, comorbidities, and prognosis, based on data included in their primary care records. The identified clusters confirm findings of previous clustering studies and draw attention to anxiety and depression as important drivers of the disease in young, female patients.
