Answer:

Due ototoxicity and nephrotoxicity, the doses of these antimicrobials should be very well defined and monitored.

Explanation:

    Aminoglycosides are antimicrobials used primarily to treat patients with severe infections caused by aerobic gram-negative bacteria. The main representatives of current use are gentamicin, amikacin, streptomycin and tobramycin. They are bactericidal and all have similar efficacy. With the development of less toxic antimicrobials, the use of Aminoglycosides has been contested. However, due to their proven efficacy, rare development of bacterial resistance, low risk of allergies and low cost, they continue to be widely used, especially in the treatment of hospitalized patients with severe infections. Because of ototoxicity and nephrotoxicity, the doses of these antimicrobials should be very well defined, and their potential toxic effects should be monitored throughout treatment.

    This type of antibiotics requer some attention, once they have limited tissue distribution, depend for renal excretion and have a tight terapeutic index. So to make sure of the safety and efficacy of this drug, we need to monitore the peak and trough level.

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

a. QRS

Explanation:

In Human anatomy, cardiac cycle can be defined as a complete heartbeat of the human heart which comprises of sequential alternating contraction and relaxation of the atria and ventricles, therefore causing blood to flow unidirectionally (one direction) throughout the human body.

Generally, the cardiac cycle occurs in two (2) stages;

Diastole : in this stage, the ventricles is relaxed and would be filled with blood.

Systole: at this stage, the muscles contracts and thus, allow blood to be pushed through the atria.

The right atrioventricular valve (AV) comprises of three (3) leaflets (flaps) which opens and closes in order to allow for the flow of blood from the right atrium of the human heart to the right ventricle. Also, the right atrioventricular valve is saddled with the responsibility of preventing blood from flowing backward in the mammalian heart.

The QRS complex represents the time necessary for the impulse to travel through the bundle of His, the bundle branches, and the Purkinje fibers to complete ventricular activation or contraction, known as ventricular depolarization. QRS is simply a combination of the Q-wave, R-wave and the S-wave which represents electrical impulses.

Strong muscles are necessary to reinforce the __________ that hold the bones together.
Amanda [17]

The right answer is Joints (or ligaments more precisely).

Muscle is the contractile structure that produces strength. It has components that allow it to be shortened to create what is called a muscle contraction.

The joint is junction of two parts of the skeleton allowing them relative mobility.

The ligament is an elastic structure that stabilizes the joints. It therefore attaches from one bone to another.

<h3>What is medicare advantage?</h3>

A combined alternative to Original Medicare is Medicare Advantage. People who qualify for Medicare can receive health insurance coverage through private insurers that offer Medicare Advantage plans under contracts with the federal government.

Pro:

  1. Additional advantages, which could include financial assistance with the expense of eye, dental, and hearing care.
  2. possibly lower insurance premiums.
  3. limits on the amount of hospital and medical coverage that you may be required to pay out of pocket. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services set this ceiling at $7,550 in 2022.

Cons:

  1. less freedom to pick your own doctors.
  2. you must live and receive your non-emergency medical care within the geographical coverage region of the plan.
  3. limitations on your use of a Medicare Supplement Insurance insurance to return to Original Medicare.
  4. the possibility that the insurer, the network, and the medical providers it includes would cancel the plan. (If this occurs, you will be informed and given alternative options.)
