Answer:

LD-50: lethal dose 50%, dosage that causes death to 50% of the exposed population

ED-50: effective dose 50%, dosage that causes an effect in 50% of the observed subjects

TD-50: toxic dose 50%, dosage that is toxic to 50% of the observed subjects

These curves do not apply to individuals because it is hard to predict the dosage that will cause a response in an individual, and more practical to predict what percentage of a population will be affected by a certain dosage of a chemical.

A pregnant adolescent already diagnosed as hiv-positive with a viral load of more than 1,000 copies/ml is currently in her 38th

OLga [1]

There are choices for this question namely:

1 Cesarean section
2 Vaginal delivery with forceps extraction
3 Vaginal delivery with vacuum extraction
4 Fetal scalp electrode

The correct answer is "cesarean section". In cesarean section, we are preventing the vertical transfer of the virus from the mother to the baby by bypassing the vaginal mucosa (which has secretions, potentially with high viral load). Fetal scalp electrode, on the other hand, is not a method of delivery.

kozerog [31]

Answer: Coal is primarily used as fuel to generate electric power in the United States. In coal-fired power plants, bituminous coal, subbituminous coal, or lignite is burned. The heat produced by the combustion of the coal is used to convert water into high-pressure steam, which drives a turbine, which produces electricity.
