Answer:

In the given case, assessing neonate for ROP is generally done as the neonate is at risk of multiple factors.

Explanation:

ROP or retinopathy of prematurity is a condition in which the eyes of the premature babies get affected. In the condition, the development of unusual blood vessels takes place over the retina, which can eventually result in blindness.  

In the given case, a neonate who weighs 1500 g at 32 weeks of gestation is assessed for ROP. ROP is related to multiple risk factors like prematurity, high arterial blood oxygen levels, and low weight of the baby at the time of birth, that is, less than 1.5 kg. In the initial phases of acute ROP, the constriction of the undeveloped retina vessels takes place, which gets followed by vascular closure. This eventually can result in irreversible capillary endothelial destruction.

¿Cómo se le llama a los que pudieron dar origen a los seres vivos actuales?
natta225 [31]

Answer:

Una de las características de los seres vivos se encuentra en su composición biológica, dado que todos ellos están constituidos por cuatro bioelementos esenciales que se encuentran de manera abundante en la naturaleza:

Carbono

Hidrógeno

Oxígeno

Nitrógeno

Estos bioelementos o elementos biogénicos están presentes en las biomoléculas, que son las que dan forma a la materia que constituye a los seres vivos. Estas moléculas están formadas, a su vez, por la unión de átomos.

De estos bioelementos, es importante destacar el papel del hidrógeno y el oxígeno, que dan lugar a la molécula del agua. El agua, o H2O, juega un papel fundamental en el funcionamiento de los seres vivos.
