<em>Yes</em>, when a problem is severe or harmful, scientists are ethically and legally obliged to speak out.

Scientific experiments and testing are vital processes that lead to innovations, medicines, procedures, etc., that better human life. While scientific testing is required before a medicine, product or procedure can implemented or introduced in the market, it is essential to stop or prevent further testing when a severe problem or harm arises at the experimental stage.

For instance, if a clinical experiment testing the effects of a new hair loss prevention drug finds that consumption of said drug causes severe nausea and dehydration, scientists must speak out or stop the experiment  to prevent further harm. A failure to prevent harm is both highly unethical and liable to legal consequences.

Which of the following make mechanical obstruction of the intestinal lumen of the small or large bowel an acute emergency?
Julli [10]

Distention from accumulating gas and fluid impede venous return, leading to bowel wall ischemia.

<u>Explanation:</u>

When the bowel lumen is obstructed, the gases and fuids starts accumulating as a repose to the obstruction. The accumulated fluid and gases results in the swelling or enlargement. This will result in the production of electrolytes and water inside the mumen that is in obstruction. The wall of the bowle will also enlarge and becomes swollen.

As more and more fluid and gas gets accumulated in the bowel, the bowel wall will be enlarged and as there is an increase in the pressure due to this accumulation, the fluid starts to leak from the wall. This will enter peritoneum and necrosis. This will result in an acute emergency when it becomes serious.

Which of the following statements is true?
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

Spongy bone is well adapted to accept stress in many directions, which makes it good for shock absorption

Explanation:

Spongy bone tissue is less compact and always present towards the interior of the bone and is covered by compact bone. Spongy bone tissue has lamellae that are arranged in an irregular pattern. The thin irregular columns of lamellae are called trabeculae.

The trabeculae of spongy bone tissues are precisely arranged along the line of stress. This feature of spongy bones allows them to resist the stress applied from many directions and to transfer the force making them a good shock absorber. The final arrangement of trabeculae is achieved only after the person learns the locomotory movements completely.

devlian [24]

The answer is Urine specific gravity less than 1.025. Because the exact gravity is less than 1.025 after treatment, the outcome is measured positive. In syndrome of unsuitable antidiuretic hormone (SIADH), the specific gravity is greater than 1.025. Small cell lung cancer is a risk factor of SIADH.
