Diagnose this case study.A 68 year old patient with Alzheimer disease was brought to the emergency room by the staff of a local

nursing home. He presented as lethargic with a sallow complexion. He had an admission temperature of 102.4F and a respiratory rate of 33/minute. During respiration, the right side of his chest moved better than the left. He showed dense consolidation of the lower lobe of the left lung on physical exam. A sputum sample revealed blood and a greenish color. A chest x-ray showed tight consolidation of the left lung with evidence of formation of cavities in the lung tissue from cytotoxic damage. The patient complained of chills in the exam room, combined with his fever. A smear of his sputum demonstrated no acid- fast bacteria.

The question is incomplete. The information asked in the question is as follows:

What is your presumptive diagnosis for this case?

Caused by which organism?

What evidence could the sputum give for this case?

Is the increased respiration rate and unequal chest movement indicative of the pathology?

Is this a bacterial or viral disease?

Answer:

Alzheimer disease may be defined as a type of the progressive disorder that mainly destroys the memorizing capacity of the individual. The disease gets worsen with the age.

After studying the case disease given in the question it can be inferred that the individual might have pneumonia caused by the bacteria  Klebsiella. This causes the damage to the lungs. The sputum shows that the bacteria is gram negative that are covered with the rods. If the bacteria is grown on the agar plate of the MacConkey, the bacteria becomes mucoid due to the production of the slime. This might cause the lung damage and causes inflammation that causes the observable changes. This is a bacterial disease.

Glucose labeled with 14C in C-3 and C-4 is completely converted to acetyl-CoA via glycolysis and the pyruvate dehydrogenase comp
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

The correct answer is option d.

Explanation:

The production of Acetyl-CoA takes place by the dissociation of both carbohydrates and lipids in the process of glycolysis and beta-oxidation. It then moves into the TCA cycle in the mitochondria and combines with oxaloacetate to give rise to citrate.  

In the given case, no labeling will be found in the acetyl-CoA. The labeled C3 and C4 carbon of glucose signify the carboxyl carbon of pyruvate. In the succeeding reactions of the transformation of pyruvate to acetyl-CoA, the carboxyl carbon gets lost in the form of carbon dioxide. Thus, acetyl-CoA does not comprise any labeled C3 and C4 of glucose.

Rudiy27

Answer:

The terms old world and the new world are used in the context of history and for the prime objective of differentiating the major ecozones found on the planet. This also helps in categorizing various species of plants and animals that originated in different places and times.  

In terms of old and new, Old World signifies to Asia, Europe, and Africa, on the other hand, the New World signifies towards the Americas that comprise South America, North America, and Central America. The New World monkeys possess prehensile tails, while the Old World monkeys don't. This suggests that the prehensile tail originated in the monkeys found in the New World, primarily after the separation of the Americas from Asia and Africa.
