Guillain-Barré syndrome or as known GBS, is a<span> condition when the immune system attacks the nerves sometimes resulting in paralysis or respiratory problems.</span>

Early rehabilitation process can make sure medical stability and an appropriate treatment for the patient and it also includes preventive measures to minimize long term complications. The recovery process for GBS varies from 6 months to 2 years during which fatigue is a major symptom. They are in an acute care environment during the acute phase of this disorder, so they will have to take it slowly. Also the client may need a ventilator until the paralysis goes away.<span>

GBS is a serious and life-threatening condition (10% of untreated patients, 3% of treated patients). It can quickly induce respiratory or hemodynamic failure and require constant monitoring and specialized rehabilitation to limit neuropathic pain and the onset of musculoskeletal contractions. The severity of the nadir involvement, the presence of respiratory failure, the rapid progression of symptoms (17 days) to hospitalization, and a high age are the main factors of poor prognosis.

The nurse must prepare the patient by giving him an immunomodulatory treatment, in addition to analgesic treatment in case of pain to relieve the patient during the acute phases.

The treatment uses an immunomodulator: immunoglobulin infusions (Ig i.v.) or plasma exchanges in case of impaired walking, breathing or threat to the airways. It must be started no later than two weeks after the onset of symptoms. In patients with back pain, paracetamol and NSAIDs should be used first-line, dexamethasone (3 x 3 mg / day) may also be useful. Opiates should be used with care.

After the acute phase, the patient usually needs specialized rehabilitation.

INDUSTRY

Microorganisms are major causes of loss in the industries leading to large scale contamination of food products, such as Fungi infestation on foods especially of plants origin. MICROORGANISMS ALSO HAVE BENEFITS IN THE INDUSTRY AS IT IS USED IN THE FERMENTATION OF FOOD PRODUCTS.

Which of the following actions would be most effective in decreasing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere while increa
Marina CMI [18]
I think the correct answer is the first option. The action that would be most effective in decreasing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere while increasing the amount of biodiversity in an area would be planting more trees to absorb more of the carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Turning forests into housing developments would destroy biodiversity and would increase carbon dioxide. Digging prairies would probably affect the amount of carbon dioxide but it would only have minimal change. Sowing beans and legumes would involve using equipment which will produce more carbon dioxide. So, option A is the best answer.

Ethidium bromide is a common intercalating agent used to visualize DNA in electrophoresis gels by associating with the DNA in th
exis [7]

Answer:

EtBr inserts between the stacked bases in the DNA double helix.

Explanation:

  • EtBr is used for visualizing DNA bands as it fluoresces under the UV illumination.
  • EtBr is an aromatic compound that is capable of inserting itself between the stacked bases of the DNA double helix.
  • The hydrophobic environment around the base pairs where the EtBr intercalates is responsible for the fluorescence. As the EtBr molecule intercalates between these base pairs the cation of EtBr sheds the water molecules associated with it and this causes it to fluoresce under UV light as water is a quencher of fluorescence.
