SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Se refiere a que la hipótesis actualmente más aceptada indicando que la actual pandemia ha sido una consecuencia directa de la alteración humana de los ecosistemas naturales donde habitan murciélagos (es decir, los hospedadores originales del virus) todavía debe ser demostrada  

Explanation:

En relación a la actual pandemia, está demostrado científicamente que el coronavirus es un virus estrechamente emparentado (genéticamente) con otros coronavirus presentes en murciélagos que naturalmente habitan la región sudeste de China. Respecto a esto, ha sido planteada la hipótesis que la actual pandemia debería ser una consecuencia de la alteración antrópica (humana) de ecosistemas naturales de los murciélagos hospedadores con fines económicos, es decir, para ser vendidos como alimento, donde poblaciones de murciélagos habrían sido diezmadas, lo cual habría desencadenado el salto del virus hacia nuevos hospedadores como la especie humana. De este modo, los humanos se habrían convertido en "hospedadores naturales" del actual virus. Sin embargo, esta hipótesis hasta ahora es solamente una hipótesis y debe ser confirmada por evidencia científica. Otras hipótesis menos extendidas incluyen, por ejemplo, el uso de la biotecnología para crear virus en laboratorios o el calentamiento global como desencadenante de la destrucción de hábitats naturales de aquellos murciélagos que fueron los hospedadores primarios del virus.

Why would sam have an increase in respiratory rate? How does the increase in respiratory rate help?
pickupchik [31]

As the Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) is very low, the glomerulus is not able to filter waste products into the renal tube. This decreases the rate of excretion of waste products. Ultimately, the respiration rate increases to remove excess of carbon dioxide from the blood.

<h3>What is Glomerular Filtration Rate?</h3>
  • Glomerular Filtration Rate or GFR measures the amount of blood filtered by the kidneys per minute.
  • It tells us about the health condition of the kidneys i.e. how well the kidney is able to filter blood.
  • For normal kidneys, GFR is 60 or above. If GFR is below 60, it means a person has kidney disease. If the GFR reaches as low as 15, it indicates kidney failure.
  • As the patient has chronic renal failure, the glomerulus does not work properly and it results in accumulation of fluids inside the body.
  • The wastes get accumulated and the amount of deoxygenated blood increases.
  • This will lead to increase in respiratory rate to increase the amount of oxygen and remove excess carbon dioxide in the blood.

Disclaimer: The question was given incomplete on the portal. The complete question is given here.

Question: Sam, a 70-year-old man with chronic renal failure, was in for a routine visit at the hospital. Progressive destruction of nephrons leads to chronic renal failure. Sam's blood work indicated low blood pH taken and potassium levels were outside of the normal range. Sam's estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was 15 mL/min with a high respiratory rate of 20 breaths per minute.

Why would Sam have an increase in respiratory rate? How does the increase in respiratory rate help?
