Answer:

Otitis media is generally caused by dysfunction of the Eustachian tube, which can be due to Pharyngitis.

Explanation:

The otitis media is an infection or inflammation of the middle ear and is mostly caused by the inflammation of the mucous membranes in the nasopharynx leading to dysfunction of the Eustachian tube. This can be caused due to a upper respiratory tract viral infection or streptococcal pharyngitis (strep throat) or due to some allergy.

Pharyngitis or sore throat is a type of inflammation caused by upper respiratory tract viral infection.

Therefore, Otitis media can be caused by Pharyngitis and thus it is associated with it.

What is a poison? Provide a general definition. what is the difference between acute poisoning and chronic poisoning?
Kruka [31]

According to Bio-chemistry experts,  a poison is a natural or synthetic substance  which causes damage to the tissues, and may cause harmful effects on organisms body.

The effects are based upon how the poison came into contact, which can be,

<em>ingested, inhaled, or absorbed or injected through the skin.</em>

The toxicity of a poison is characterized into two types, as follows;

  • <em>Acute toxicity,</em> and
  • <em>Chronic toxicity.</em>

The basic difference of Acute poisoning and Chronic poisoning is that, in Acute poisoning the effects came out immediately and are considered to be reversible,

but in Chronic Poisoning the effects can be delayed and came into observation later on, and experts had identified the effects of this poisoning as irreversible. for example, Lung cancer and smoking.

6. The patient is recovering from an ileal conduit surgery due to bladder cancer. Which of the following describes an ileal cond
earnstyle [38]

D. A small urine reservoir is surgically created from a short piece of small intestine. The ureters are attached to one end of this piece. The other end is brought out through a stoma.

Explanation:

An ileal conduit surgery, also known as a urostomy, is meant to create an artificial opening called stoma, for diverting the urine of an individual where normal drainage through the bladder and/or urethra is not feasible.

The literal meaning of the term comes from ileum (referring to the last part of the small intestine that connects to the large intestine) and conduit (meaning a channel to aid the flow of a fluid, here, urine).

In this surgery, a small portion of the small intestine (ileum) and attached near the surface of the patient's abdomen through an artificially created opening (stoma). The ureters are attached to the other end. The passage of the urine is now: kidneys --> ureter --> ileal conduit --> stoma --> urostomy bag (collecting pouch attached at the outer end).

I need to write a paragraph on what are some reasons teens engage in risky behaviors such as smoking,drinking,or binge drinking.
charle [14.2K]
I’ll help you with the reasons! Some teens use smoking, drinking, binging as a coping mechanism which then leads to it being an addiction. Another reason is peer pressure, some teens are pressured to engage in those unhealthy behaviours with their peers. It can be unhealthy in many ways due to how it negatively affects the body, mindset and relationships of that person
