Answer:

The voice of a patient with a peritonsillar abscess is described as "hot potato voice" (voice engolada). Peritonsillar abscesses are characterized by being generally unilateral accompanied by fever, odynophagia, dysphagia and otalgia. They usually form in the soft palate area between the capsules of the palatine tonsil and the fibers of the upper constrictor muscle of the pharynx.

Strength training lessens bone loss true or false?
Step2247 [10]
<span>This is true. If your muscles are stronger then your bones will lose less because they work together with muscles. An easy example can be your spine. If you have strong back muscles there's less chance that you will suffer from spine injury from things like falling or lifting heavy objects. Bone loss is the same in that domain.</span>
