Answer:

Gigantism

Explanation:

Gigantism

This is an unusual form of growth and stature as there is hypersecretion of growth hormone (GH), somatotropin prior to puberty. This will cause a further overgrowth of all the body tissues. This condition can be triggered by an anterior pituitary adenoma. It is yet to be ascertained if a genetic link can be the cause.

In Gigantism, there is unusual and increased growth, mainly of the long bones, since epiphyseal closure is not active. This situation causes poor Sexual and mental developments.

it important to know a person's rhesus factor before a blood transfusion? A patient who is Rh+ can receive only Rh– blood. A pat
timofeeve [1]

The right answer is A patient who is Rh– can receive only Rh– blood.

The blood group is not the only thing that matters, it adds a category: rhesus. Rhesus refers to a red blood cell antigen that is on their wall. There are two blood group systems: Rh positive (Rh +) and Rh negative (Rh-).

Rhesus is positive in people who have this antigen. It concerns the majority of the population. Negative rhesus refers to people without the antigen. This rhesus factor is especially useful to know if a blood transfusion is feasible between two people.

The blood transfusions can be "iso-rhesus", that is to say between Rh + and Rh- but only in one sense: Rh- can give to Rh + but Rh + can not give to Rh-. Again because of the presence of antibodies directed against the antigen in Rh- people.
