Part 1 Questions 1. What are the main symptoms of influenza? 2. Would you expect a flu shot to protect against the ""stomach flu
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

Influenza and stomach flu are caused by different viruses and cannot be prevented by similar vaccines. Moreover, infleunza infection or flu vaccine does not have any direct effect on autism. URIs infections may occur by different infectious agents and shall be treated accordingly. the Question wise answers are explained below.

Explanation:

1. Influenza can cause mild to severe illness and is different from cold. People suffering from flu has fever, chills, cough, sore throat, runny nose, headaches, muscle aches, and severe fatigue.

2. Flu shots are strongly recommended to protect against influenza but does not help with stomach flu also known as gastroenteritis. Stomach flu is an infection caused by rotaviruses and noroviruses, and is not caused by the Influenza virus. Hence, flu shot protecting the body from influenza virus is not effective in stomach flu or gastroenteritis.

3. Influenza virus attacks the respiratory system including nose, throat and lungs, whereas, gastroenteritis attacks the intestines. Hence both influenza and stomach flu may have similar as well as contrasting symptoms. Influenza causes coughing, congestion, fever, chills, headache and muscle aches. Gastroenteritis causes fever, chills, headache, body aches, vomiting and diarrhea. The risk of influenza and gastroenteritis can be reduced with washing hands often with disinfectant. Hygienic drinking water is also necessary to avoid stomach flu as it causes diarrhea and food poisoning. Flu shots are given annually for influenza virus protection and two oral vaccines of rotavirus are given to young infants for avoiding stomach flu or gastroenteritis.

4. Flu shots provides immunity against specific strains of flu virus including influenza A strain- H1N1 and H3N2, and influenza B strain.  The trivalent flu vaccines protect against both Influenza A strain, whereas, the Quadrivalent vaccine help against both the influenza A strains and also the influenza B strain. These flu shots are given through a needle, cell-based version, and in the form of a recombinant vaccine which does not contain the virus or eggs. The mild side effects produced after taking the influenza vaccine include low grade fever, aches, redness and swelling at the site of injection, soreness etc. which happens to occur in only 1-2% of people taking the vaccine.  

Serious allergic reactions may also occur in some people such as difficulty breathing, swelling of eyes or lips, high pulse, high fever and dizziness. Children may have runny nose, wheezing, fever, muscle ache, vomiting and headache as side effects to the flu vaccine.  

CDC suggests that influenza infection or influenza vaccines taken during pregnancy are not associated with risk of autism in fetus. The idea evolves from the fact that inflammatory cytokines may be produced from the injection of influenza virus in vaccine form. However, this proposition is not evident from clinical trials conducted on autistic children who are diagnosed and those who are at risk of autism.

5. The upper respiratory tract infection occurs in the sinuses, nasal passages, pharynx and larynx region. Hence, the upper airways is blocked and symptoms of inflammation in the tract, cold, congestion and difficulty in breathing occurs. URIs are either caused by viruses or by bacteria in some cases. The URIs are infectious and may spread from person to person through air and touching of objects exposed to virus. Coming in close contact with patient, poor hygiene and avoiding frequent hand wash, and low immunity in HIV etc. are some of the risk factors of URI.  

Antibiotics are not given in URIs unless a bacterial infection is the cause of airways blockage. Hence, URIs are generally treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), acetaminophen, Antihistamines and cough medications. Steroids and decongestants are also given in patients who are suffering from severe airways blockage and congestion. In immune-compromised patients who are already suffering from other disease conditions, anti-bacterials and anti-viral antibiotics are given to treat the URIs.

Thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency diseases have a lower prevalence now than in the past. However, they are seen as beriberi in so
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer and Explanation:

      Vitamin B (thiamine) is usually found in cereals, grains, vegetables and meat among other foods. Ingestion of this nutrient through balanced diet is one of the most important measures for the control of Beriberi. Not only the consumption of thiamine sources, but also the decrease in beverages that may disturb the absorption of thiamine, such as coffee and alcoholic beverages.

     Beriberi is a serious disease directly linked to the lack of thiamine, also known as Vitamin B1. This disease can lead to death, but with proper treatment, it is possible to achieve cure. When vitamin B1 is not consumed regularly in food, mild symptoms of beriberi may arise such as insomnia, nervousness, irritation, fatigue, loss of appetite and energy. These problems may manifest themselves after two to three months of exclusively consuming thiamine-poor foods. Symptoms can still develop into more severe symptoms such as numbness, tingling and swelling of the legs and arms, difficulty breathing, heart problems, heart failure and even death.

   Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome), also known as alcoholic encephalopathy, cerebral beriberi, among others, is a neuropathy related to vitamin B1 deficiency, and indirectly (but more commonly) acute alcoholism, because alcohol interfere in body's ability to absorb thiamine.

  Vitamin B1 is related to the process of transformation of pyruvic acid, which is responsible for performing biochemical transformations of proteins, fats and mainly carbohydrates. When this element is lacking in the body, neurons are the most affected cells, causing these sympthons above.

Heparin 12, 000 units subcutaneous is prescribed. Stock ampoules contain 25, 000 units/ 5ml. What volume in ml should be drawn u
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer: The volume in ml that should be drawn is 2.4ml.

Explanation:

Heparin is an anticoagulant which is administered to prevent the formation of blood

clot in high risk patients. The high risk patients include those undergoing open-heart surgery, bypass surgery, kidney dialysis, and blood transfusions. This medication can be administered subcutaneously ( that is, under the skin) by a health care provider. The exact dosage should be administered to avoid adverse effects.

From the question given,

In 5 ml of stock ampoules, there are 25,000 units.

To calculate how many millilitres will deliver 1 unit, divide by 25,000

5 ÷ 25000 = 0.0002

Therefore 0.0002 ml will deliver 1 Unit.

To calculate the volume that will deliver 12,000 units, multiply by 12,000.

Therefore,

12,000 × 0.0002 = 2.4mL

From the calculation, the volume in ml that should be drawn is 2.4ml
