Answer:

b) blastic red blood cell (RBC).

Explanation:

In excess of 340 blood group antigens have now been described that vary between individuals. Thus, any unit of blood that is nonautologous represents a significant dose of alloantigen. Most blood group antigens are proteins, which differ by a single amino acid between donors and recipients. Approximately 1 out of every 70 individuals are transfused each year (in the United States alone), which leads to antibody responses to red blood cell <u>(RBC) alloantigens</u> in some transfusion recipients. When alloantibodies are formed, in many cases, RBCs expressing the antigen in question can no longer be safely transfused. However, despite chronic transfusion, only 3% to 10% of recipients (in general) mount an alloantibody response. In some disease states, rates of alloimmunization are much higher (eg, sickle cell disease). For patients who become alloimmunized to multiple antigens, ongoing transfusion therapy becomes increasingly difficult or, in some cases, impossible. While alloantibodies are the ultimate immune effector of humoral alloimmunization, the cellular underpinnings of the immune system that lead to ultimate alloantibody production are complex, including antigen consumption, antigen processing, antigen presentation, T-cell biology.

Answer:

The isotype of these antibodies is igG

Explanation:

Anti-Rh response are employed by medical practitioners to define the Rh antigenic profile of human blood samples.

Fetal red blood cells are necessary for increasing the production of antibodies against Rh- antigens in Rh- women who are carrying a Rh+ fetus. The isotopes of the required antibodies is IgG.

The igG antibodies have high level of affinity and are present in blood, where they can make toxins, viruses, and bacteria ineffective, and activate the complement system.

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

In a patient underwent a single contrast upper GI series on Tuesday due to severe daily esophageal burning for six weeks, whose radiological diagnostic impression was Barrett's esophagus.

  • <u><em>Day of encounter</em></u><em>: </em><em>Tuesday </em>
  • <u><em>Diagnosis Code</em></u><em>: K 22.7 </em><em>(CIE-10 code for Barrett's Esophagus)</em><em> </em>
  • <u><em>Procedure Code</em></u><em>: 74240</em>

Explanation:

Barrett's esophagus is a clinical condition characterized by a change in the esophageal epithelium due to repeated exposure to gastric juices, by reflux, or other mucosal irritants.

Corrosive agents are considered to produce a change in the epithelium called metaplasia, associated with symptoms of esophageal burning and pain.

The ICD-10 code for Barrett's esophagus is K 22.7.

The procedure, which consists of a radiological examination of the upper digestive tract with the use of barium contrast has a code of 74240, which describes this type of radiological examination.
