Answer: Tau
Explanation:
NFTs or neurofibrillary tangles are insoluble twisted fibers. The tangles are abnormal accumulation that collect inside neurons. Their presence is also found in other diseases such as tauopathies. Statins have been shown to reduce neurofibrillary tangles in mouse models. Lithium has been shown to decrease the phosphorylation of tau. The tau protein is primary maker Alzheimer's disease.
100% of the offspring would have the genotype Bb, and the phenotype of the blue color.
Answer:
The agent causing the pneumonia, where bluish-green pus was found, is most likely Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Explanation:
Pseudomona aeuriginosa is a gram-negative bacteria that is one of the main causes of hospital-acquired infections, including pneumonias in mechanically ventilated patients.
One of the characteristics of P. aeuriginosa is the formation of a bluish-green pus, since it has the capacity to form cyanide-based blue pigment upon contact with the organic tissues it infects. This is the reason why previously P. aeruginosa was called a pyocyanic bacillus.
<em> The other options are not correct because the only bacterium that produces blue-green pus is P. aeruginosa.</em>
Answer:
Replacing skin defects has witnessed several developments over the centuries. It started with the introduction of skin grafting by Reverdin in 1871. Since then, varieties of skin grafting techniques have been used successfully. Despite being clinically useful, skin grafts have many limitations including the availability of the donor site especially in circumstances of extensive skin loss, immune rejection in allogenic skin grafts, pain, scarring, slow healing and infection.1,2 For these reasons, scientist have worked hard to find skin substitutes to replace skin defects without the need for a "natural" skin graft. These materials which are used to cover skin defects are called "Skin substitutes". This article briefly discusses the common types of skin substitutes and their clinical uses.
A dog breathes in oxygen and then releases carbon dioxide when he exhales. Conversely, a tree gives off oxygen and takes in carbon dioxide. So the breath of the dog sustains the tree while the output of oxygen for the tree sustains the dog.
