Who is most at risk of spinal cord injury because of preexisting degenerative disorders?

1 answer:

6 0

Elderly people are most at risk from minor trauma that results in serious spinal cord injury because of preexisting degenerative vertebral disorders. Males are more prone to spinal cord injuries than females but not as a result of preexisting disorder. This may be related to an increased involvement in contact sports or a propensity to participate in high risk activities. Neither females nor infants are at any particular risk for spinal cord injuries.

Answer: Diagnosis: The presence of nitrites in the urine confirms the urinary tract infection.

Explanation:

Treatment: The urinary tract infection will be concerned with the antibiotic therapy to kill the bacteria producing excess nitrites. Educating K.N. about the risk factors associated with the multiple sex partners and transfer of bacteria through sexual contact.

Use of fluroquinolones and nitrofurantoin:

Fluroquinolones: This is an antibiotic which has bacteriocidal property can be useful in the treatment of urinary tract infections.

Nitrofurantoin: It is an effective antibiotic in killing bacteria it gets activated inside the bacteria.

Nitrituria is a condition in which the nitrites are present in the urine that is indicative of the presence of bacterial infection. It is caused by the E. coli bacteria inside the urinary tract. It is responsible for converting the nitrates into nitrites.

7. Pyrethrums are chemicals used to kill insects. In bed bugs, the mutant-type allele, r, confers resistance, but only in homozy

natita [175]

Answer:

Allele frequency

Normal allele $= 0.9$

Mutant r allele $= 0.1$

Genotype frequency

Homozygous normal bugs $= 0.81$

Homozygous mutant bug $= 0.01$

Heterozygous normal bug with one mutant r allele and one normal allele $= 0.18$

Explanation:

It is given that 99% of the bugs were killed after the spray of pyrethrum. This suggests that 1% of the bugs that were not killed must be homozygous for the mutant type allele "r"

Thus, the frequency of homozygous "rr" species i.e $q^2 = 0.01$
