H.L is a 65-year-old Caucasian male diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (NHL) 4 months ago. He just finished receiving his third o

f six chemotherapy courses 5 days ago. Yesterday morning, he was seen at his oncologist’s office for malaise, muscle weakness, and palpitations. He had splenomegaly on examination. A computerized tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen showed metastatic disease in the liver and spleen. He is admitted to the hospital with progressive disease. The physician confirms a diagnosis of acute tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) and writes a number of orders for H.J.

Answer:

The correct answer would be - renal failure, kidney stones, uric acid neuropathy and other complications.

Explanation:

The symptoms of H.J include decreased urine output, flank pain, peripheral edema. H.J. is at risk for acute kidney injury which can result in renal failure due to elevated levels of uric acid, BUN, and creatinine.

Uric acid begins to precipitate in the kidneys and leads to conditions such as uric acid nephropathy and subsequent kidney injury. ECG shows in such patients as elevated heart rate due to hyperkalemia and hypocalcemia.

- Muscle cramps, Diarrhea, Nausea, and vomiting

- Renal failure due to kidney stones because of high uric acid.

Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5730 years. A sample of wood has been recovered by an archaeologist. The sample is sent to a labora
givi [52]

Answer: 4282.928 = 4283 years

Explanation:

Data given;

Carbon 14 half life = 5740

No (initial radiation) = 0.230 Bq/g

Nf (final radiation) = 0.137 Bq/g

First we find the decimal fraction of the remaining half life of the carbon 14

k = No / Nf

k = (0.137 / 0.230) = 0.595652

So to find how many half-life has elapsed, we say

(1/2)^n = k

(1/2) ^n = 0.595652

Therefore

n log 0.5 = log 0.595652

n = ( log 0.595652) / ( log 0.5)

n = 0.747457

To get the elapsed time or how old the sample is;

We say

Carbon 14 half-life × n

5730 yrs × 0.747457

= 4282.928

= 4283 years.

So the sample of the wood is 4283 years old.

"In genetic modifications, DNA inserted can come from _____ ." any organism containing the DNA of interest only the same plasmid
liq [111]

Answer:

<h2> any organism containing the DNA of interest</h2>

Explanation:

  • Such type of process in which the modification of the genes of the organisms takes place is known as genetic modification and also called genetic manipulation or genetic engineering.
  • In such type of the process, the branch of biological science that is known as biotechnology is used.
  • In this mechanism, genes of interest are separated from the certain organism and then this gene of interest is inserted into the host organism and such type of DNA that is formed after the addition of foreign genes or DNA is called recombinant DNA.
  • Such type of DNA is used in the production of genetically modified organisms and some other fields for the benefit of human beings.
