The right answer is Iatrogenic illness.

Glaucoma is an eye disease that affects mostly people over the age of 45. It is characterized by an increase in eye pressure leading to an impairment of the optic nerve and the visual field. They are treated with antiglaucomatous agents.

Some antiglaucomatous agents are betablockers, they certainly act on the ocular level by decreasing the ocular tension, but the long-term treatment makes that the drug goes to the blood level and acts at the level of the heart to cause a bradycardia.

He is experiencing an overdose of drugs to treat could occur if they are taken improperly, or if decreased liver or renal function occurs. Symptoms of overdose include severe nausea/vomiting, sweating, salivation, hypotension, bradycardia, convulsions, and increased muscle weakness, including respiratory muscles. This patient has diabetes and thus may have glycaemic issues. Bradycardia and muscle weakness.  Abdominal pain and dry mouth. Tachycardia and hypertension.  Emotional withdrawal and tachypnea.

Amino acid catabolism involves the breakdown of 20 amino acids all of which contain nitrogen but have different carbon skeletons
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

The overall strategy employed in the catabolism of the carbon skeletons of the 20 amino acids is conversion to citric acid intermediates such as acetyl-CoA

Explanation:

The breakdown of the  different carbon skeletons of the 20 amino acids is strategically channelled  towards the citric acid cycle. Six major products are obtained in the catabolism of the carbon chain of amino acids and these products all enter the citrc acid cycle. The six major products are acetyl-CoA, α-ketoglutarate, succinyl-CoA, fumarate, oxaloacetate and pyruvate.

The amino acids that are broken down completely into acetoacetyl-CoA and/or acetyl-CoA are said to be ketogenic since they yield ketone bodies in the liver.

The amino acids that are broken down into α-ketoglutarate, succinyl-CoA, fumarate, oxaloacetate and pyruvate can be converted to glucose and glycogen and are said to be glucogenic. Pyruvate can further be converted to either acetyl-CoA or oxaloacetate. Some amino acids though are both ketogenic and glucogenic, e.g. tryptophan, threonine.

Which one of the following statements concerning soil erosion is not true?
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

(a)-Rills, and arroyos or gullies develop mainly during prolonged droughts.

Explanation:

Soil erosion is the process of erosion, transport and sedimentation of soil, subsoils and rocks as an effect of the action of erosive agents such as water, winds and living things. The process of disintegration of rock particles (called sediments) is caused by the action of weathering (a set of chemical, physical and biological processes that cause soil and rock wear).

About soil erosion, we can confirm that the following information is true:

  • Grasses and other vegetation, windbreaks, and contour cropping will help reduce soil loss from cultivated lands.
  • Soils form naturally by weathering; if protected from erosion, sound management can maintain or enhance their nutrient levels and textural characteristics.
