Answer:
Why is group B streptococcus a concern for pregnant women?
In women, GBS most often is found in the vagina and rectum. This means that GBS can pass from a pregnant woman to her fetus during labor. This is rare and happens to 1 or 2 babies out of 100 when the mother does not receive treatment with antibiotics during labor. The chance of a newborn getting sick is much lower when the mother receives treatment.
Answer:
The given statement is false.
Explanation:
Hyperventilation is a condition when the rate of breathing increases resulting in the loss of more carbon dioxide from the body than the amount that the body can produce., thus dis balancing the equilibrium between the oxygen intake and the removal of carbon dioxide from the body and reducing the concentration of carbon dioxide from the blood.
With the reduced concentration of carbon dioxide in the blood the equilibrium of the carbonic acid in the blood is disturbed resulting in increase of hydrogen concentration in the blood.
Thus Hyperventilation causes reduction of carbon dioxide from the blood. Hence the statement is false as retention of carbon dioxide will cause increase in concentration of carbon dioxide.
Hyaline membrane disease is now commonly called respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). It is caused by a deficiency of a molecule called surfactant. RDS almost always occurs in newborns born before 37 weeks of gestation. The more premature the baby is, the greater is the chance of developing RDS
