Is a heat pack safe for period pain ?

Biology
1 answer:
OLga [1]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

I hope this hepls :)

Explanation:

Heat therapy is said to work because of its analgesic properties or its ability to bring blood to the area which can penetrate deep into the muscular tissue. However, heat therapy is also said to work because it is comforting on a psychological level. According to Lorimer Moseley “to reduce pain, we need to reduce credible evidence of danger & increase credible evidence of safety” and applying heat makes us feel safe. Why? Because the cold kills!  

Despite this, there is little evidence to show that it helps alleviate pain at certain trigger points  (small patches of acutely sensitive soft tissue) in the body and there is less evidence to show that it works for period pain. One study has claimed that heat can work for period pain however the researchers failed to differentiate if their exercise programme or the psychological effect of feeling warm eased their pain. This kind of testing means that other variables influence participants’ perception of pain and we can’t be certain if the heat therapy actually helped. What we do know is there are certainly drawbacks to this kind of treatment.

Complement proteins and antibodies coat a microorganism and provide binding sites, enabling macrophages and neutrophils to phago
Lera25 [3.4K]

Opsonization.

Explanation:

  • Complement proteins and antibodies coat a microorganism and provide binding sites, enabling macrophages and neutrophils to phagocytize the organism. This phenomenon is termed opsonization.

Opsonization occurs as a result of binding of a molecule called opsonin to the epitope of a pathogen.

Opsonization helps the immune system to select and kill the infected cells instead of targeting all the cells in general.

The gene frequency for a dominant allele is 0.68 and the recessive allele is 0.39. What percent of the population has a homozygo
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

15.21 %

Explanation:

If we recall the basic formula of Hardy-Weinberg's equilibrium ; we have the following below:

p + q = 1

p² + 2pq + q² = 1

where;

p = frequency of the dominant allele in the population

q = frequency of the recessive allele in the population

p² = percentage of homozygous dominant individuals

q² = percentage of homozygous recessive individuals

2pq = percentage of heterozygous individuals

Given that p= 0.68 and q = 0.39

the percentage of the homozygous recessive genotype (q² ) will be

(0.39)² = 0.1521

= 0.1521 × 100

= 15.21 %

∴ the percentage of the population that has a homozygous recessive genotype = 15.21 %
