Answer: C) Sacral nerve stimulation

Explanation: interstitial cystitis can be simply refered to as a non infectious painful bladder condition which may be chronic depending on the severity. Some of the symptoms include pelvic and bladder pain as well as an urge to frequently urinate.

The best treatment that Allison's doctor is likely to recommend to her is the sacral nerve stimulation. Reducing the urgency to urinate which is associated with interstitial cystitis is the main target of this nerve stimulation technique, it involves simulating the sacral nerves which are the primary link between the spinal cord and nerves in the bladder. In this technique, electrical impulses are sent to the bladder by a thin wire which will be placed near the sacral nerves, this will help to reduce some of the symptoms.

True or false: All of the rivers in the United States are closely monitored For pollution levels

Nutka1998 [239]

All of the rivers in the United States are not monitored closely for pollution levels.

The statement in the question is False

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Not all rivers in the United States are closely monitored for their pollution levels. There are volunteers who take responsibility of checking water bodies such as lakes, rivers, streams etc. They take the next step required after finding a water body contaminated.

But to say that all the rivers receive the same amount of attention and action is incorrect. To ensure that all the rivers are clean and pollution free, it would require a lot of man power in the said department which would collect the water samples from all these rivers and send it to labs for checking the pollution level of the particular river. It can be said that the rivers which are situated beside an industrial site, close to a town, will be the priority for checking pollution levels as it would directly cause harm to a small set of population if the toxicity is at an increased level.

What change occurs to the gravitational force of attraction between two bodies when the

Lisa [10]

Answer:

when the radius is halved, F becomes 4 times

Explanation:

The formula is given by

$F = \frac{Gm1m2}{r^2}$

When r is halved:

$F = \frac{Gm1m2}{(1/2r)^2}$

=> $F = \frac{Gm1m2}{1/4 r^2}$

=> $F = 4(\frac{Gm1m2}{r^2} )$

This means when the radius is halved, F becomes 4 times
