Answer:

The correct answer is the duodenum.

Explanation:

Pancreatic juice is an alkaline fluid which contains important enzymes for the digestion of proteins, carbohydrates and fats.  

Pancreatic juice is secreted by the pancreas when food enters the stomach which is released into the "duodenum" of the small intestine. The pancreatic juice enters duodenum through a pancreatic duct which joins with the bile duct coming from the liver and form "ampulla of Vater" in the duodenum.

Pancreatic juice helps in digestion of carbohydrates, proteins and fats as it contains pro-enzymes and enzymes like trypsinogen, chymotrypsinogen, lipase and many more. It also makes the acidic stomach solution alkaline due to the presence of HCO₃.

Thus, the duodenum is the correct answer.

5. What is lactational amenorrhea? What is its evolutionary and demographic significance? Why might it work better as a contrace
Pani-rosa [81]

Lactational amenorrhea is the process of using breastfeeding as a contraceptive method for family planning during the postpartum period.

Explanation:

Postpartum contraception:

Lactational amenorrhea is the process of using breastfeeding as a contraceptive method for family planning during the postpartum period. This helps the mother to restore health by allowing the body to heal after child-birth.

This method of postpartum contraception has been continued since ages across nations.

It might work better in rural areas of Mali than urban population in Omaha, Nebraska due to following reasons:

  • Breastfeeding is the main source of feeding for infants
  • Mothers are able to feed as and when the infant requires
  • Urban cities have working mothers who might find this difficult

What has been your experience with the healthcare system? Describe your positive or negative experience.
Sveta_85 [38]
My personal experience has been okay! Sometimes that can change due to my different situations that involve having to communicate with the healthcare system/staff. The healthcare system tries their hardest but some don’t. Some doctors just guess your diagnosis just to get you out of the hospital, mainly to get paid. Some do wrong diagnosis due to them being tired or careless, with good research it can be proven. My negative experience was terrible. Technically, it wasn’t “MY” experience it was a family members but I was there as a witness. My aunt went in because she was sick and she had pain near her appendix. The doctor said nothing was wrong with her appendix and that she may just have a bug. Scans, test, everything was done turned out the doctor sent my aunt home with “flu” meds. Took my aunt throwing up all of her body weight to go back to another hospital because we all knew something was wrong. She went to another hospital and turns out her appendix burst and she nearly could’ve died. Therefore, the healthcare system is great and all but some doctors or healthcare workers can be very careless.

(THIS IS NOT A TRUE STORY NO SYMPATHY NEEDED HERE LOL)

Dual Antiplatelet Therapy Using Cilostazol in Patients With Stroke and Intracranial Arterial Stenosis
Talja [164]

Background- In patients with intracranial artery stenosis, a long-term advantage of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) over single antiplatelet therapy (SAPT) for the prevention of recurrent stroke has not been proven. We studied patients with intracranial arterial stenosis who were enrolled in the Cilostazol Stroke Prevention Study for Antiplatelet Combination trial, a randomized controlled trial in high-risk Japanese patients with ischemic stroke, to compare the efficacy and safety of DAPT with cilostazol and clopidogrel or aspirin to those of SAPT with clopidogrel or aspirin. Techniques and Outcomes In patients with ischemic stroke with symptomatic or asymptomatic intracranial arterial stenosis of at least 50% in a major intracranial artery, we compared the vascular and hemorrhagic events between DAPT and SAPT.

Patients were divided into two groups: 275 were given DAPT, while 272 were given SAPT. In contrast to SAPT, which had a higher risk of serious or life-threatening bleeding, DAPT had a lower risk of ischemic stroke (hazard ratio [HR], 0.47; 95% CI, 0.23-0.95); and a composite of stroke, myocardial infarction, and vascular mortality (HR, 0.48; 95% CI, 0.26-0.91). Conclusions In patients with intracranial artery stenosis following stroke, DAPT using cilostazol was superior than SAPT using clopidogrel or aspirin for the prevention of recurrent stroke and vascular events without raising bleeding risk.

<h3>What is stroke?</h3>

When anything prevents blood flow to a portion of the brain or when a blood artery in the brain bursts, a stroke, also known as a brain attack, happens. The brain either ages or suffers harm in both scenarios. A stroke may result in permanent brain damage, chronic disability, or even fatality.

Sudden cardiac arrest is an abrupt occurrence where the heart ceases to function and results in death within minutes. According
GREYUIT [131]

Placing of the hand above the chest is the first step while administering CPR after ensuring that the environment is safe.

When the heart stops beating, CPR, or cardiopulmonary resuscitation, is a life-saving emergency operation. After cardiac arrest, immediate CPR can increase survival rates by a factor of two to three.

A person's heartbeat will cease if they are not breathing. To aid with circulation and to assist the body to receive oxygen, use CPR (chest compressions and rescue breaths). Following are the steps of CPR:

  1. Placing of the hand above the chest.
  2. Interlocking of fingers.
  3. Giving chest compressions.
  4. Opening of the airway.
  5. Delivering rescue breathes.
  6. Watching the patient's chest fall.
  7. Repeat steps 3 and 4.
