The presence of a fever is usually related to stimulation of the body's immune response. Fever can support the immune system's attempt to gain advantage over infectious agents, such as viruses and bacteria, and it makes the body less favorable as a host for replicating viruses and bacteria, which are temperature sensitive. Infectious agents are not the only causes of fever, however. Amphetamine abuse and alcohol withdrawal can both elicit high temperatures, for example. And environmental fevers--such as those associated with heat stroke and related illnesses--can also occur.
The hypothalamus, which sits at the base of the brain, acts as the body's thermostat. It is triggered by floating biochemical substances called pyrogens, which flow from sites where the immune system has identified potential trouble to the hypothalamus via the bloodstream. Some pyrogens are produced by body tissue; many pathogens also produce pyrogens. When the hypothalamus detects them, it tells the body to generate and retain more heat, thus producing a fever. Children typically get higher and quicker fevers, reflecting the effects of the pyrogens upon an inexperienced immune system.
Answer:
The moon.
Explanation:
High tides and low tides are caused by the Moon. The Moon's gravitational pull generates something called the tidal force. The tidal force causes Earth—and its water—to bulge out on the side closest to the Moon and the side farthest from the Moon.
Protons and Neutrons affect the mass. Protons and Electrons change the charge of the atom (positively or negatively charged). Valence electrons are the ones that do fun stuff in chemical reactions, they are responsible for making/breaking bonds, at least to my understanding.
Hope this helps.
1. <span>what is the amount of the bolus dose, in both milligrams and milliliters, that you will administer in the first minute?
</span>The doses is 0.9 mg/kg and the weight of the patient is 143 pounds. So, the total doses of drug needed will be:
Total doses= 0.9 mg/kg * 143 pounds * 0.453592 kg/pound= 58.37 mg.
10% of the doses will be given bolus for 1 min, so the amount would be:
Bolus doses= 10%*58.37 mg= 5.837 mg.
In mililiters, it would be: 5.837 mg * 1ml/mg= 5.837 ml.
<span>2. what is the amount of the remaining dose that you will need to administer?
The remaining dose would be 90% of the total dose. You can either calculate it directly or subtract the bolus doses from the total doses.
Remaining doses= total doses- bolus doses= </span>58.37 mg- 5.837 mg= <span>52.533mg</span>
The average daily dietary fiber recommendations are 38 grams and 25 grams for male and females respectively. Dietary fiber is the indigestible portion of food that is usually derived from plants. It includes soluble fibers found in peas, beans, apples among others and the insoluble fiber, which promotes the movement of material through the digestive system and increases the bulk of the stool.
