The breathing technique that should be avoided in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is diaphragmatic breathing. Diaphragmatic breathing is observed as the rise and fall of the abdomen instead of the chest. This should be avoided as this increases the work of breathing. 

Breathing techniques that can be employed include yoga and pursed-lip breathing.

What is a ferndock and what does Krenzled mean?
kotykmax [81]
Apparently, Alan Newman was a huge Dungeons and Dragons fan. He was knee-deep in a hair-raising campaign with his 7th level druid named Krenzle when he came upon a huge overgrown bog (played out with old-school figurines, mind you). Krenzle apparently razed the bog, also known as a ferndock, and found the Cloak of Invisibility! 


They put it on hats.

wolverine [178]
<span>The paralysis is from a chain reaction of cells not processing sodium properly. This leads to their residing in a resting potential instead of forming action potentials, as is required for them to fire during muscle movements. The electrical impulses are not moving down the cells, leading to their not being able to move and, therefore, paralysis of the affected or poisoned areas.</span>

You are awaiting the white blood cell differential results for a patient who presented with a ruptured appendix and peritonitis.
vovangra [49]

Answer:

Neutrophils

Explanation:

In this case of a ruptured appendix and peritontis, the neutrophils are more likely to be elevated above normal value because:

1. They are the most abundant white blood cells (WBCs), about 60%-70% of the total white blood cell count.

2. they help to defend the body against fungal and bacterial infections and heal tissues that are damaged. The most likely infection to occur from a ruptured appendix is a bacterial infection.

Other WBCs like eosinophil is involved in parasitic infection; basophil is involved in allergic reaction; while monocyte is involved in phagocytosis.
