In Texas, a man showed up at a medical facility claiming that he felt drunk when he had not ingested any alcohol. Indeed his blo

od alcohol measured 0.37, many times the legal limit. Although he was a home brewer, he claimed that this intoxication had been happening often without his drinking any alcohol. Which of these hypotheses and actions might be most useful in diagnosing this problem?
a. His home brew concoctions have created a type of alcohol that lasts a long time.
b. Have him refrain from home brewing for a week and recheck his blood alcohol.
c. He might have recently had a round of antibiotics that killed the bacteria that usually live in his gut and allowed a yeast species to overgrow. Put him on probiotics and a low carb diet for a week and recheck his blood alcohol. d. The fumes from the alcohol that he is using as a cleaning solution might be getting into his bloodstream. Ask him if he is using alcohol externally.
e. Maybe he feels drunk because he has been eating mushrooms that have sprouted during this very wet weather. Check him for fungal toxins.

Answer:

c. He might have recently had a round of antibiotics that killed the bacteria that usually live in his gut and allowed a yeast species to overgrow. Put him on probiotics and a low carb diet for a week and recheck his blood alcohol.  

Explanation:

This patient may have taken some antibiotics to contain any infection he was having. Antibiotics are medicines with a high power against bacteria. These medications can only be taken with medical supervision because they can kill all bacteria in the body and our gut has beneficial bacteria that help us during digestion.  Probably the antibiotic that the man took killed all the bacteria present in his gut and this allowed for a proliferation of yeast that started an alcoholic fermentation caused the sensation of being alcoholized to the man.

The ideal thing to do with this patient is to prescribe probiotics and put him on a low-carb diet for a week and recheck the blood alcohol.

Glycogen Synthase Kinase:_______.
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

A. Will only phosphorylate glycogen synthase (GS) after GS has been phosphorylated by casein kinase.

Explanation:

Glycogen synthase kinase (GSK) is a type of enzyme capable of phosphorylating serine and threonine residues on the glycogen synthase (GS). The insulin hormone activates the synthesis of glycogen by dephosphorylating GS, but it is a mechanism that depends on the previous phosphorylation of GS by Casein Kinase (CK). GSK is also known to phosphorylate the insulin receptor (IRS), and thus controlling glucose metabolism.

Think of a change that can occur to an ecosystem and the populations that live in that area. In what ways can the different popu
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

There are several environmental factors that causes changes in the ecosystem and the population of that area such as invasive species, extreme weather, land use change, pollution and disease.

Lets take invasive species as environmental factor. Introduction of invasive species can cause a huge change in the ecosystem and affects the native population in that area. it increases the competition for food resources and decreases the survival rate of their preys.

For example: Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes). It is an invasive plant species that has very bad impact of native population as well as other population, like it reduces biological diversity, oxygen loss, decreased phytoplankton productivity,  eliminate plants that animals use for nesting, and alter animal communities by blocking access to the water.

Thus invasive population can affect population by reducing biodiversity, water shortages, decreasing availability and quality of key natural resources, disturb the food chain and can cause natural calamities.

Invasive species affect the resources that native species are using and that decreases the carrying capacity of the native population as it disturbs the whole food chain.
