Chemotherapy patients are advised against gardening, planting or any form of contact with soil.  The soil in the pots is a huge source of bacteria and mold, which presents an unnecessary danger to the patient. Removing indoor houseplants and flowers are also advised because these items tend to shed mold in the air and can be a source of infection. It is also important to not keep cut flowers inside the house because the water in the vases can harbor infectious bacteria and can evaporate in the air and spread to the patient.

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

B. Puerperium, or fourth trimester of pregnancy

Explanation:

  • Puerperium or the fourth trimester of pregnancy is also known as the postpartum period.
  • This period starts immediately after the mother gives birth to a child.
  • During this period the size of the uterus and other reproductive organs along with the hormone levels return to their normal state.
  • It is the phase where regression of all the anatomical and physiological changes that took place i in the reproductive organs of the females takes place.
  • This phase is divided int three periods -

1. Immediate puerperium, or the first 24 hours after parturition

2. Early puerperium, which extends until the first week postpartum;

3. Remote puerperium, which includes the period required for involution of the genital organs and return of menses, usually approximately 6 weeks.

  • This phase is highly critical for the mother as this requires rest and proper care as there are risks of bleeding. Therefore, the midwife or the nurse must take proper care of the mother.

Today in class, a student asked whether the positive charge of the presequence of proteins being imported into the mitochondria
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

Mitochondrial proteins enter the organelle through channels formed by membrane proteins present in its inner and outer membranes.

Explanation:

All the biological membranes have lipid bilayer with the non-polar core that does not allow entry of charged and large substances. Mitochondrial proteins are synthesized in the cytosol and the unfolded proteins bind to the chaperons that deliver them to the receptors present in the outer mitochondrial membrane.

The receptor moves the protein to the membrane channels formed by integral membrane proteins of inner and outer mitochondrial membranes. The proteins enter the intermembrane space and are targeted to the inner membrane through channels while chaperons are left outside only.
