Treatment

Meningitis is an infection of the membranes, meninges that surrounds and protects the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord). Bacterial meningitis must be treated immediately with intravenous antibiotics and sometimes corticosteroids and, of course, the antibiotic depends on the type of bacteria causing the infection.

Prevention

First of all, to prevent the spread of bacterial meningitis it is important to practice good hygiene, such as frequent handwashing. Since the factors that increase the risk include spending time in communities (school, campus or college) because it spreads easily, children should be aware and vaccinated. As several types of bacteria can cause bacterial meningitis, a range of vaccines is wide (e.g. meningococcal vaccine, Hib vaccine).

ction potentials typically move in one direction along the neuron away from the cell body. This is due to which of the following
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

The correct answer is option A. "the temporary hyperpolarization of the axon membrane following the action potential spike".

Explanation:

Action potentials, also known as "spikes" or "impulses", are electric impulses that neurons use to send information from the cell's body down to the axon. The impulses are created when ions travel across the neuron's membrane creating a depolarization current. This depolarization current is responsible for an temporary hyperpolarization of the axon membrane following the action potential spike. When neurons are hyperpolarized they are not able to produce another action potential. In consequence, actions potentials move in one direction along the neuron away from the cell body, as well as, adjacent locations go trough similar depolarization processes.

Which of the following statements is/are incorrect? a) The epidural space is located between the dura mater and the vertebral ca
dsp73

Answer:

C

Explanation:

The meninges are the membranous tissues that cover the spinal cord and the brain, providing support and protection to these organs. They are of three layers.

A) The Dura mater

B) The arachnoid mater

C) The pia mater

The Dura is the outermost meningeal layer and lies directly under the vertebral column bones and skull. The subdural space is the space between the Dura mater and the Arachnoid mater.

The Arachnoid mater lies in the middle of the Dura and Pia mater. Under the Arachnoid layer is the subarachnoid space which contains the cerebrospinal fluid. The cerebrospinal fluid acts as a shock absorber and a cushion to the brain and spinal cord.

The Pia mater lies under the subarachnoid space and directly on the spinal cord and brain and is highly vascularised.

In a medicalseminar Dr. Rohith expressed his views on blood transfusion by saying "Hey friends during blood transfusion, any blo
Xelga [282]

Answer:

I agree and disagree with his statement.

Explanation:

We all know that the blood type AB is the universal recipient, so we know that this bloodtype can recieve any kind of blood. AB-type blood doesn't fight off anything because it has all of the antibodies needed. We also know that type O is the universal donor, meaning that this blood can be donated to anyone. This bloodtype doesn't have antibodies, so nothing will go wrong. However, for the other bloodtypes, yes, things have to be matched carefully. Type B blood can't be given type A blood, and so on. Another thing you have to think about is the Rh factor, which is the +/- after blood types. Rh+ bloodtypes can recieve both Rh+ and Rh- bloodtypes, but Rh- bloodtypes can only recieve Rh- bloodtypes. There are also graphic tables that will help answer this question if you're a visual learner!

I hope this helps, sorry it was a bit late!
