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.

What is the role of proteins in an organism?
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

Proteins are large, complex molecules that play many critical roles in the body. They do most of the work in cells and are required for the structure, function, and regulation of the body's tissues and organs.

These proteins provide structure and support for cells. On a larger scale, they also allow the body to move

Describe how Schwann cells form the myelin sheath and the neurilemma.
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

Schwann cells or neurilemma cells are the cells which form the myelin sheath around neuronal axons in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) only.

Neurilemma is the collective term used for cytoplasm and nuclei present around the myelin sheath which helps in the regeneration process of nerves.

A Schwann cell surrounds the axon, invaginate it and the plasmalemma of the Schwann cells joins and from a double membrane structure called mesaxon. This mesaxon starts wrapping the axon in spiral fashion and cytoplasm start condensing into the compact myelin sheath.

A mixture of the amino acids leucine, glutamate, and arginine, is added to a cation exchange column at neutral ph. in what order
natulia [17]

Cation-exchange chromatography is used when the molecule of interest is positively charged, the stationary phase is negatively charged and positively charged molecules are loaded to be attracted to it. So, the amino acids with negative charge will elute the first. Glutamate, leucin, arginine is the order of elution because of their pI values ~3,  ~6  ~10.

How the DNA is different from the cDNA?
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

gDNA = "genomic DNA" and cDNA = "complementary DNA." cDNA is classically associated with being reverse transcribed either from all extracted RNA from a tissue or cell (total RNA) including (in eukaryotes) pre-mRNA, ribosomal RNA, tRNA, snoRNA, miRNA and mRNA, etc.) while cDNA obtained only from reverse transcription of the mRNA (expressed eukaryotic cytosolic mRNA) fraction (e.g., by poly[dT]n and random priming) is complementary DNA (cDNA) made from what is called the "transcriptome." Eukaryotes have introns and exons in the gDNA, while prokaryotes do not. So eukaryotic cDNA reverse transcribed from mRNA lacks introns. Prokaryotic-derived cDNA is always complementary to prokaryotic RNA and gDNA (so is always necessary to have a good DNase treatment prior to gene expression analysis by e.g., qPCR for prokaryotic transcriptome work)...
