Answer:

Ellie's problem is probably being caused by Grave's disease.

Explanation:

Graves Disease is an autoimmune disease, that is, caused by a defect in the immune system that leads to inflammation of the thyroid by the autoantibodies themselves, defense proteins that exist to protect our body from infections and aggressors. The result is that the thyroid begins to secrete more hormone than it should, causing some problems to the body.

Secreting too much of thyroid hormones is a condition called hyperthyroidism. Causes of hyperthyroidism are different and may happen when the entire gland is overproducing thyroid hormone or a single nodule ("hot") is responsible for the excess hormone secretion. Some of the causes of hyperthyroidism include thyroiditis (inflammation of the thyroid), clinical conditions like Graves' disease (an autoimmune disease that affects thyroid), thyroid adenoma (benign tumor of the thyroid gland), hypersecretion of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH)…

Which stage of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) would a client with a CD4 T cell count of 325 cells/mm3 be classified

kirza4 [7]

Based on the CDC guidelines a person with a CD4+ cell count between 200-400 is regarded as being in the second stage of the HIV infection.

Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome

Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a condition caused by HIV (human immunodeficiency virus). AIDS is a chronic disorder and can become life-threatening for the infected person. The HIV viruses reproduce inside the host and while doing so they destroy the CD4+ immune cells which reduce the person's ability to fight against other diseases.

CD4+ cell count and AIDS

According to the CDC (U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), HIV infection is categorized into different stages based on the number of CD4+ cells.

Stage 1: - CD4+ cell count is more than 500 per microlitre. There are no symptoms or AIDS-related conditions.
Stage 2: - CD4+ cell count is more than 500 per microlitre. There are no symptoms or AIDS-related conditions.
Stage 3: - The CD4+ cell count falls below 200 and AIDS-related symptoms and conditions are present.

The process of cellular respiration

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Cellular respiration is the process of oxidizing food molecules, like glucose, to carbon dioxide and water. The energy released is trapped in the form of ATP for use by all the energy-consuming activities of the cell. The process occurs in two phases: glycolysis, the breakdown of glucose to pyruvic acid.
