Loop Diuretics
These are diuretics that exerts effect on the loop of Henle. They are primarily used in heart failure, hypertension and edema. In contrast with Thiazides, loop diuretics are more effective in patients with abnormal kidney function. Loop diuretics inhibit the magnesium and calcium reabsorption in the thick ascending limb of Henle. Loop diuretics is highly protein bound. It has volume of distribution that is limited. This causes the diuretics to be secreted in the convuluted tubules to exert its function.
I would diagnose the patient with lassa fever. Lassa fever is an acute viral illness which lasts for 4 weeks. It occurs mostly in west Africa and Sierra leone is found in west Africa. Some of it's symptoms are fever, nausea or vomiting, headache and diarrhea. In severe cases bleeding will occur.
Answer:
(c) directional selection
Explanation:
Directional selection is a type of natural selection that occurs when members of a population of a species with a particular extreme phenotype is selected or favored against the other phenotypes when natural forces act on the population of a species. Individuals having the particular traits that are favored survive and become more common that others with traits that are less favored.
Directional selection may likely result in the species of butterflies in which darkly collared butterflies are not preyed upon, ensuring their survival, while the other butterflies with other colors will be phased out with time. Darkly colored butterfly will be selected for while the others will be selected against.
The dog's reflection on the water's surface is because of light rays reflecting off the dog and onto the water to create a mirror image.
Ductus Arteriosus is a blood vessel normally present in fetuses during development. The blood vessel is designed to bypass the pulmonary artery and brings blood to the Descending Aorta, as the fetus cannot breath through the lung (being as they are fluid filled). This is normally not a problem because oxygenated blood comes from the mother's blood supply.
Patent Ductus Arteriosus, is what happens when that vessel does not close. While not as dangerous as other congenital defects. However, because there is still a bypass, blood that normally need to be oxygenated by going through the pulmonary arteries to the lungs, can be diverted and placed into the blood stream without vital oxygen. This condition may eventually lead to CHF (congestive Heart Failure) and Pulmonary Hypertension if not treated.
