Dx, signifies diagnosis. Pancreatic refers to the inflammation of the pancreas, which can take place in two distinct forms, that is, acute pancreatitis and chronic pancreatitis. Dysphagia is the term used to indicate swallowing issues, while gastralgia refers to the pain in the abdominal or stomach region.  

Sx, signifies symptoms; NVD refers to Nausea, Vomiting, Diarrhea; HA in the given case is a headache or high anxiety; Dr signifies doctor; Abd means abdominal; MRI refers to magnetic resonance imaging; CBC to complete blood count; NPO, refers to nil per os, or nothing via mouth; cl liq refers to clear liquids; VS q2h refers to very small amount for every two hours; CBR refers to complete bed rest.  

IV fluid of N/S 1000 cc q8h refers to the intravenous fluid of normal saline of 1000 cc unit for every 8 hours.

Does decaying organic matter and animal waste add CO2 to the atmosphere ?
ivanzaharov [21]

In the carbon cycle, decomposers break down dead material from plants and other organisms and release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, where it's available to plants for photosynthesis. ... After death, decomposition releases carbon into the air, soil and water.

What's so the "Central dogma" or sequence of information flow in Turing genes into proteins?
maria [59]
Basically it involves translations:
Once you have your mRNA (which now only has exons) it then binds with rRNA (ribosomal RNA)
It reads a start codon, and then the tRNA reads a complimentary anticodon which codes for a specific amino acid.
Essentially the amino acids then interact elongate, and then you have a long chain of amino acids (primary structure of a protein)

Then there is a lot of folding, di-sulfide bridges and other interaction that then make the amino acids into a protein like haemoglobin (red blood cell)

An owl has good night vision because its eyes can detect a light intensity as small as 5.0 × 10-13 W/m2. What is the minimum num
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

Thus, the minimum number of photons per second is 77.34

Explanation:

Light intensity, I_{min} =  5\times 10^{-13} W/m^{2}

Pupil has a diameter, d = 8.5 mm

                                      = 8.5 x 10^{-3} m

Radius of the eye, r = 4.25 x 10^{-3} m

∴ Area of the eye, A = \pi .r^{2}

                                 = 3.14\times \left ( 4.25\times 10^{-3} \right )^{2}

                                = 5.6\times 10^{-5} m^{2}

Let P_{min} be the minimum number of photons.

Therefore, P_{min} = I_{min} x A

                                              = 5\times 10^{-13} x 5.6\times 10^{-5}

                                             = 2.8\times 10^{-17} W

Thus the minimum number of photons is given by

N_{min}=P_{min}/E

where E = hc/\lambda

             = \left (6.63\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^{8}  \right )/548\times 10^{-9}

            = 3.62\times 10^{-19} J

Therefore, N_{min} = \frac{2.8\times 10^{-17}}{3.62\times 10^{-19}}

                                              = 77.34 photons per second

Thus, the minimum number of photons per second is 77.34

In what way are the humerus and the femur similar?
dimaraw [331]
The humerus-
A long bone of the upper forelimb. It articulates proximally with the scapula to form the soulder joint and distally with the radius and ulna to form the elbow joint.
<span>Proximally the humerus has a rounded projection known as the head. </span>

Cranially at the lateral aspect of the head is a large prominence- the greater tubercle. The lesser tubercle lies medially. Both tubercles act as a sight for muscle attachment. At the distal end of the humerus is a condyle which articulates with the radius & ulna & forms part of the elbow.

The diaphysis of the humerus is twisted.
<span>In the dog a supra condylar foramen is present- a large hole in the condyle.
</span>
The Femur-This is the thigh bone and is the largest bone in the body, it is a long bone and is similar in structure to the humerus in that it has a head, neck, shaft & lateral & medial condyles. The femoral head articulates with the acetabulum proximally to form the hip joint, lateral to the head is the greater trochanter and on the medialTh side is a lesser trochanter (for muscle attachment). At the distal end of the femur are 2 condyles that articulate with the tibia to form the stifle joint. Between the 2 condyles is the trochlear groove along which the patella can move.

Here is some information. Hope this helps ☺
