Answer:

Post Purchase Cognitive Dissonance is the phrase we give to the state of unease which exists in the customer's mind after buying a product or service.

There are times we buy a product or pay for a particular service and we don't feel happy about the value we pay for such product or service. For instance, I saw an Adidas Samba with my friend and I love the it. I asked him how much he bought the footware and he told me $55. I bought the same type (Adidas samba) of footware at the rate of $70 due to the way the seller convince me about their company quality and he gave me absolute assurance on it's durability and 100% money back guarantee.

When I got home, I didn't see any difference between the one I bought and the one my friend had. I was not happy about my decision. I wanted to return it immediately but I restricted myself due to what the seller told me.

It's more than a year now and my Adidas Samba is still in good shape and my friend's Adidas Samba has spoilt.

The company was able to lessen my dissonance due to the high quality they are known for and the 100% money back guarantee.

Aspirin and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID)inhibit inflammation by inhibiting an enzyme in the prostaglandin
Drupady [299]

Answer:

Aspirin works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins. Aspirin inhibits the formation of prostaglandins by combining with the COX enzymes. Prostaglandins function as messenger molecules to monitor different physiological procedures in distinct regions of the body. One of the prime activities of prostaglandins is to stimulate inflammation and pain.  

Prostaglandins are also the essential controller of platelet aggregation. By changing the COX enzymes inside the platelets, aspirin makes platelets to lose the stickiness, which is required to instigate clotting of blood.  

There are two forms of cyclooxygenase, that is, COX-1 and COX-2. COX-1 generates prostaglandins and COX-2 mediates pain and swelling in response to tissue injury. Aspirin prevents both COX-1 and COX-2 functioning, while COX-2 is the therapeutic target of the drug.  

However, it is the association of aspirin with COX-1 in the gastrointestinal tract, which results in the unwanted side effects of the drug. COX-1 is required to sustain a thick lining of the stomach. As aspirin inhibits the COX-1 enzyme, thus, the continuous use of the drug can result in the thinning of mucus, which safeguards the stomach from gastric juices.  

In such cases, stomach bleeding, ulcers, and in certain situations perforation of the stomach can take place. Therefore, aspirin exhibits both bad and good effects.

The step in Koch's postulates that most critically enabled him to determine that a particular microbe was the cause, and not an
Digiron [165]

Answer:

Cells from the pure culture can cause disease in healthy individual after infecting it with the pure culture.

Explanation:

Koch postulates says that microbes are the cause of every disease. These microbes can be isolated from the infected host and can be grown outside the host in a pure culture. Then this pure culture is able to cause disease in a healthy host after infecting the host with pure culture. Then this same microbe can again be isolated from the second host.

So Koch postulates which proves that cells from the pure culture can cause disease in healthy individuals after infecting it with the pure culture was the step that enabled Koch to determine that a particular microbe is the cause of the disease because it was causing disease in healthy individual also.
