A 22-year old male college student was presented at the ESU health clinic. He looked tired and pale. He presented because of hig

h fever and chest pain. He was afraid he was having a heart attack (bad week of exams). He was examined immediately by the PA and an EKG strip was run. He had no evidence of acute heart problems. The attending physician visited the patient. He obtained the following history from the past 36 hours. The patient had a tight cough. He had significant muscle aches and pains. He had a bad headache and had had fevers of 101-103F. The physician ordered a chest x-ray. It did not show any significant consolidated inflammation suggestive of pneumonia. The patient showed significant nasal drainage and a moderately tight, but productive cough on physical exam. He had a fever of 101F and generally inflamed mucous membranes. A rapid Strep test showed no evidence of Streptococcal infection and his tonsils and adenoids had been removed. What is the most likely diagnosis for this patient? On what do you base this diagnosis? What secondary infection problems should be monitored? What is the preferred treatment for this disease?

Answer:

Pneumonia may be defined as the medical condition in which the inflammation might occur in the lungs due to which the fluid might accumulate in the lungs. The infection might occur by the Streptococcus penumoniae bacteria.

The most likely diagnosis of this patient can be influenza. The symptoms shown by the patient like cough, fever, headache, lung pain is more common in influenza. The diagnosis can be based on the symptoms shown by the patient and no presence of the Streptococcal infection. This conditions can be worsened if the pneumonia follow the harsh influenza and this secondary infection must be monitored.  The treatment that can be preferred in this patient bed rest, anti pyretic medicines and proper body fluids.

The school nurse notes that an 8-year-old child experiences stomachaches that are relieved after the nurse contacts the parents
Black_prince [1.1K]
Possibly, to tell a teacher if they notice if he/she acts like that after the parents have been contacted. You’d have to inform the parents as well, I believe.

1. Since they have specialised cells, they are able to carry out different functions. Not every cell has to carry out every metabolic function in a multicellular organism
2. specialized cells are the centerpiece of why organism are able to survive and adapt to their environment. without specialty cells, there would be no muscle tissue or brain material .

According to the theory of isostasy, which statement must be true?
mezya [45]

Answer:

According to the theory of isostasy, the statement that correct is C.

Explanation:

Ok, let's first explain what the isostasy is: the Isostasy is the ideal theoretical balance of all large portions of Earth’s lithosphere as though they were floating on the denser underlying layer, the asthenosphere, a section of the upper mantle composed of weak, plastic rock.

The asthenosphere is a part of the upper mantle just below the lithosphere that is involved in plate tectonic movement and isostatic adjustments. And the lithosphere is the solid, outer part of the Earth. The lithosphere includes the brittle upper portion of the mantle and the crust, the outermost layers of Earth’s structure.

Taking into account these characteristics, the lithosphere is less dense than the asthenosphere. This is because less dense substances (lithosphere) will float on top of denser substances (asthenosphere). Since the lithosphere is on top of the asthenosphere it must be less dense.
