Answer:

The given blank can be filled with cytokine storm.

Explanation:

Generally, influenza is self-restricting. Though serious cases can result in pneumonia and other issues, which can be deadly. However, such cases are very common in the elderly and in very young individuals. There are certain strains of the influenza virus, which are more dangerous to young adults in comparison to old or very young.  

The strains, which influence young adults are considered to comprise a cytokine storm, that is, a positive feedback loop, which produces in between the production of cytokines and leukocytes. This cytokine storm generates an acute inflammatory reaction, which results in brisk accumulation of fluid in the lungs, resulting in pulmonary failure. The very young or very old are less vulnerable to this influence as their immune systems are less strong.

GrogVix [38]
Well... I get the felling I know what question you are trying to ask. Atrial Fibrillation is a type of arrhythmia that interferes with the pumping of blood through the Atrium of the heart. A bundle branch block is an interference of the electrical system through the heart. Non of these are particularly that dangerousso don't worry about dying... Though have someone close by in case you go into Cardiac Arrest.

If your worried about getting a heart attack, that is a blood flow problem which can result from CAD. Don't worry though cause the two other condition do not particularly influence the other.

CAD is circulatory, A fib and branch block are electrical.

During starvation, the body starts breaking down proteins, including the large proteins in the plasma. This causes edema in tiss
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

Starvation causes a reduction in the <u>oncotic</u> pressure in the <u>cappilaries</u>, thus causing edema in the tissues.

Explanation:

Starvation is the extreme form of malnutrition, in which the caloric energy intake of an individual is much lower than required. The cells of the body start the breakdown of proteins, after the fat stores get exhausted. This reduces the oncotic pressure or the colloidal pressure in the blood vessels or capillaries of the body, thereby causing edema.

Edema is a medical condition, which involves the abnormal accumulation of fluid in the interstitium and cavities of the body.
