To treat gastric acid reflux, one may prescribe a(an) _______ inhibitor.

Medicine
1 answer:
Ksenya-84 [330]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

(B). H⁺/K⁺ ATPase.

Explanation:

H⁺/K⁺ ATPase (or hydrogen-potassium pump) is a proton pump, present in parietal cells of stomach. The main function of hydrogen-potassium pump is to acidify the contents of stomach and to activate pepsin (a digestive enzyme).

It helps in gastric acid formation releasing hydrogen ions to the lumen with exchange of potassium ions.

Gastric acid reflux represents a condition, in which stomach acid comes up to the esophagus from stomach. Hence, one way to treat gastric acid reflux is to inhibit H⁺/K⁺ ATPase that would decrease synthesis of gastric acid in stomach.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

Suppose I observe that communities with lots of doctors tend to have relatively high rates of illness. I conclude that doctors c
Art [367]
This is a great question—

First off, it’s important to know that “correlation does not imply causation”. This means that even if two events coincide, it doesn’t necessarily mean one caused the other. Typically another variable that causes them is involved.

For example (it’s silly but bare with me), if a study found that there was a strong correlation between ice cream sales and shark attacks at a number of beaches sampled, you might conclude that an increase in ice cream sales leads to more shark attacks because they want to eat people full of ice cream! That is FALSE. The increase of ice cream sales and shark attacks are due to warmer temperatures i.e. people enjoy cold treats in the heat and sharks come out in warmer water.

So back to to your question... If a community has a lot of doctors as well as high rates of illness (correlation) you can NOT assume that doctors cause illness (causation). Potential reasons why there may be more doctors in that area is because there have always been more sick patients and therefore more need for them to be treated. ....Also it’s highly unlikely for a doctor to specifically “cause” an illness unless they are not following proper infection control protocol (such as disinfecting surfaces and instruments people touch between visits). They typically keep the place as sterile as possible to limit the spread of infections!

Hope that helps :)

Which person can safely receive a life influenza vaccine
Anna [14]

People who can get the flu shot:

Different flu shots are approved for people of different ages. Everyone should get a vaccine that is appropriate for their age.

There are inactivated influenza vaccines (IIV) that are approved for people as young as 6 months of age.

Some vaccines are only approved for adults. For example, the recombinant influenza vaccine (RIV) is approved for people aged 18 years and older, and the adjuvanted and high-dose inactivated vaccines are approved for people aged 65 years and older.

Pregnant women and people with certain chronic health conditions can get a flu shot.

Most people with egg allergy can get a flu shot.

People who SHOULD NOT get the flu shot:

Children younger than 6 months of age are too young to get a flu shot.

People with severe, life-threatening allergies to flu vaccine or any ingredient in the vaccine. This might include gelatin, antibiotics, or other ingredients. See Special Considerations Regarding Egg Allergy for more information about egg allergies and flu vaccine

Cefaclor 250 mg capsules can be ordered in a bottle of 100 capsules. The maximum inventory level is 250 capsules and the minimum
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

The bottles of capsules needed is 200 capsules

Explanation:

Given;

the maximum inventory level, = 250 capsules

minimum inventory level, = 50 capsules

current inventory = 25

Since the current inventory is 25 capsules which is below the minimum inventory level.

bottles of capsules needed = 2 x 100 capsules = 200 capsules

Check: After the order the current inventory level = 225 capsules which is below the maximum level of 250 capsules.

Also, more cannot be ordered since an additional order of 100 capsules will make the total exceed 250 capsules.
