Answer:

A. Acyclovir PO

Explanation:

This is a patient with a primary herpes infection, characterized by a low-grade fever; myalgias; and multiple painful, shallow, tender, genital lesions. These typically follow a 2-7-day incubation period. Patients often do not have adenopathy until the 2nd or 3rd week of illness. Lesions last for 2-4 weeks. Treatment is acyclovir to reduce the duration of symptoms and viral shedding.

Ceftriaxone (B) is one of several treatment regimens for chancroid. Although chancroid also presents with painful genital ulcers, 50% of patients also develop a large unilateral, fluctuant lymph node (bubo) 1 week after the ulcers appear. It is often difficult to differentiate herpes from chancroid on exam. However, herpes is orders of magnitude more common in the United States; most cases of chancroid occur in developing countries. There are usually fewer than 100 cases of chancroid reported to the CDC annually. Therefore, in patients such as this one, herpes should be of primary consideration, and acyclovir is more likely to be an effective treatment. Doxycycline (C) is used to treat lymphogranuloma venereum. However, lesions are painless and often go unnoticed. Patients often present in the secondary stage following the disappearance of genital lesions, when they develop painful lymphadenitis. Penicillin (D) would be the appropriate treatment for syphilis. However, the incubation period is typically longer and primary lesions (chancres) are painless with raised edges.

Neville has low blood pressure and his pituitary started producing a homorone to maintain water balance his blood pressure event
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer: The options are missing in the question,the options are;

A) Positive feedback will stop the release of this hormone.

B) Positive feedback will speed up the release of this hormone.

C) Negative feedback will speed up the release of this hormone.

D) Negative feedback will stop the release of this hormone.

The correct answer to the question is option D

NEGATIVE FEEDBACK WILL STOP THE RELEASE OF THIS HORMONE.

Explanation: The hormone the will be produced is known as Antidiuretic hormone (ADH).it is otherwise known as VASOPRESSIN.It is secreted by the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland.

The main effect of Antidiuretic hormone is to reduce urine output,(diuresis is the production of large amount of urine). Antidiuretic hormone acts in the distal convulated tubules and the collecting ducts of the nephrons of the kidneys,it increases their permeability to water and more of the glomerular filtrate is reabsorbed. Antidiuretic hormone secretion is determined by the osmotic pressure of the blood circulating to the osmoreceptors in the hypothalamus.

As osmotic pressure rises,for example as a result of dehydration, secretion of Antidiuretic hormone increases. With this,there is Increased reabsorption of water reducing the amount of urine produced.This implies that more water is retained in the body making the rise in the osmotic pressure of the blood to be low,for example,after a large fluid intake, secretion of Antidiuretic hormone is reduced,less water is reabsorbed and more urine is produced.

At high concentrations,for example after severe blood loss, antidiuretic hormone causes smooth muscle contraction, especially vasoconstriction in small arteries.this has a pressor effect,raising systemic blood pressure.
