Answer: HDLs are antiatherogenic lipoproteins....

Explanation:

The anti-atherogenic effect of HDL occurs, above all, because of its properties to carry lipids, mainly cholesterol esters from peripheral tissues to the liver, which is known as reverse cholesterol transport(RCT). However, other protective actions of HDL, in addition to RCT, have been described in several experimental models and epidemiological studies. These actions include antioxidant protection, mediation of cholesterol efflux, inhibition of the expression of cell adhesion, leukocyte activation, regulation of blood coagulation and platelet activity.

How to calculate the heart rate from the electrocardiogram ?​
Masja [62]

Answer:

ECG paper is a grid where time is measured along the horizontal axis.

Each small square is 1 mm in length and represents 0.04 seconds.

Each larger square is 5 mm in length and represents 0.2 seconds.

Voltage is measured along the vertical axis.

10 mm is equal to 1mV in voltage.

The diagram below illustrates the configuration of ECG graph paper and where to measure the components of the ECG wave form

Heart rate can be easily calculated from the ECG strip:

When the rhythm is regular, the heart rate is 300 divided by the number of large squares between the QRS complexes.

For example, if there are 4 large squares between regular QRS complexes, the heart rate is 75 (300/4=75).

The second method can be used with an irregular rhythm to estimate the rate. Count the number of R waves in a 6 second strip and multiply by 10.

For example, if there are 7 R waves in a 6 second strip, the heart rate is 70 (7x10=70).

which type of health care worker would be most concerned with the safety standards established by the clinical laboratories impr
Rama09 [41]

The Director of nursing would be most concerned with the safety standards established by the clinical laboratories’ improvement amendments or CLIA.

<h3>What is CLIA?</h3>

The Public Health Services Act was amended by the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 law, in which Congress altered the federal scheme for accreditation and oversight of clinical laboratory testing.

Federal standards that apply to all U.S. facilities or locations that test human specimens for health assessment or to diagnose, prevent, or treat disease are included in the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA) rules.

Testing performed for forensic reasons (criminal investigations), testing carried out on human specimens for research or surveillance, and testing carried out on human specimens when patient-specific results are not reported are all exempt from the CLIA regulations.

These tests include employment-related drug testing by SAMSHA-certified laboratories.
