The correct answer is kyphosis.

Kyphosis is a condition in which the spine in the upper back has an excessive curvature (larger than usually). It is often a consequence of osteoporosis in elder people and it is than called dowager’s hump.

Answer:

Scoliosis

Explanation:

Scoliosis is an abnormal curvature of the spine to one side of the trunk, determined by the rotation of the vertebrae. Deformity can be seen by looking at the person from the back.

In other words: the main feature of scoliosis is the presence of a lateral curvature in the three-dimensional plane of movement (left / right, front / back and around the axis itself by rotation of a vertebra) which gives it the appearance of a C (a single curvature) or an S (more than one curvature).

calculate the growth rate for a population of 1,200 with a carrying capacity (K) of 2,000 and a maximum per capita growth rate (
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

144

Explanation:

Population growth rate refers to the measure of how a population (N) changes over a particular time (t). Hence, it is termed as (dN/dt) where d represents the change.

The logistic population growth rate equation is given as:

dN/dT = rmaxN (K-N/K)

Where; dN/dt = population growth rate

K = carrying capacity of

population

rmax = maximum per capital

growth rate

N = population number

dN/dt = 0.3 × 1200 (2000-1200/2000)

dN/dt = 360 (800/2000)

dN/dt = 360 (0.4)

dN/dt = 144

Hence, the growth rate of the population (dN/dt) is 144

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the world's top cause of death for the greatest number of individuals, known for its chronic obstructive diseases, chronic bronchitis, and emphysema.

<h3>How genes impact on COPD?</h3>
  • The precise causal process of COPD is still unknown, despite several attempts to discover biomarkers and pathways.
  • In order to better understand the biological mechanism and network module underlying COPD, this study integrates information on biological interactions with information on gene expression.
  • 49 genes were chosen using a sparse network-based technique from the peripheral blood mononuclear cell expression data of 136 participants, comprising 42 ex-smokers and 94 COPD patients.
  • The findings indicate that these 49 genes may have an impact on COPD-related biological functions and molecular processes.
