Support your answer with a source. Jim is at risk for developing a complication known as Barrett's esophagus. Briefly describe the pathophysiology of this condition. Support your answer with a source. After two weeks, the OTC medication Jim tried isn't helping, so his doctor wants to perform a diagnostic imaging procedure that uses a light and camera to look for inflammation inside the esophagus and test for Barrett's esophagus. What is this procedure called? Ambulatory acid probe test Esophageal manometry Upper endoscopy

Answer:

Jim's

risk factors for GERD are are

eating unhealthy food,

drinking too much caffeine products inadequate sleep.

Barrett's esophagus occurs when the oesopagus is exposed to too much stomach acid. When this acid refluxes in GERD

This is Ambulatory acid probe test used to check GERD by checking the pH of the oesophagus.

What interferes with river flow?
PSYCHO15rus [73]
The natural flow of rivers can be affected by several factors, such as building dams to provide drinking water, pumping of groundwater, climate change, and building of lands that change how natural water runs into surfaces and into rivers. All of these also disrupt the balance of ecosystem in the area.

How high can creatinine and bun levels go before death?
wel
Creatinine is a by-product of muscular metabolism. In the natural and normal scheme of things, this substance or waste product can be eliminated from the body. A high-serum creatinine level may cause kidney damage. In relation to the above question as to how high can creatinine levels go before death, it must be noted that kidneys have strong compensatory ability and by that as long as its still 50 percent functional, creatinine level won't be that high. Which leads us to a conclusion that, the lesser the kidney function level is, the higher the creatinine level.

On the other hand for the blood urea nitrogen (BUN) is the most stable blood constituent following death as it reaches antemortem (before death) levels and even after moderate decomposition.

Therefore, as long as the kidneys are functional, regardless of other factors such as the patient's condition/ diagnosis, these blood constituents are nearly normal.

(c) The researchers predict that for any particular concentration of substrate, the C. aurantiacus enolase-catalyzed reaction is
Bess [88]

Answer:

<u><em>This is because the enzymes might work best at higher temperature than 37 degrees Celsius. Increase in temperature will increase the catalysis of the reaction.</em></u>

Explanation:

<em>When the temperature is increased, the molecules possess greater kinetic energy. This will allow more substrate and enzymes to collide. As a result, there will be more enzymes taking place in the reaction which will cause the rate of the reaction to increase.</em>

<em></em>

However, if the temperature goes too high, then the shape of the active site of the enzymes will get changed. The enzyme will deactivate and the reaction will stop.
