Answer:

D. Weight varies with location, but mass does not vary

Explanation:

Weight can be defined as the force acting on a body or an object as a result of gravity.

Mathematically, the weight of an object is given by the formula;

$Weight = mg$

Where;

m is the mass of the object.
g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Mass can be defined as a measure of the amount of matter an object or a body comprises of. The standard unit of measurement of the mass of an object or a body is kilograms.

Irrespective of the location of an object or a body at a given moment in time, the mass (amount of matter that they're made up of) is constant. This ultimately implies that, whether you're in the moon, space, earth or any other place, your mass remains the same (constant).

<em>Hence, the statement that correctly compares mass and weight is that, weight varies with location, but mass does not vary. This is simply because acceleration due to gravity changes with location i.e its value varies with the planets.</em>

What are air particles doing in an undisturbed state?

seraphim [82]

Answer:

Air particles are a mixture of solids and liquids that are microscopically tiny and suspended by air currents. It can stay in the atmosphere for a few hours to a month or two. Their constituents can be various harmful substances such as heavy metals - lead, nickel, arsenic, cadmium or polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons

Explanation:

Air particles, nitrogen dioxide and ground-level ozone are now considered to be the three most polluting substances in human health. Exposure during peak concentration and long-term exposure to these pollutants can cause damage from respiratory distress to premature death.

Ms. S, a 78-year-old black female, is brought to the emergency room by her son who reports that she has been vomiting violently

lawyer [7]

Answer:

1. Severe dehydration

2. Investigations required will include serum urea, electrolytes and creatinine (U/E/Cr), full blood count and differentials, urinalysis, urine microscopy, culture and sensitivity, renal ultrasound, random blood glucose.

3. Deranged U/E/Cr that is urea, creatinine and sodium are elevated which indicate kidney injury. There is proteinuria, haematuria, positive nitrate and leucouria points towards UTI. The WBC is high which indicate infection.

5. She is likely to have prerenal AKI

6. The concern is that she is not regular on her antihypertensive medication, and hypertension can cause renal impairment ( hypertensive nephropathy). There is need for dialysis if there is markedly elevated E/U/Cr or renal impairment was very severe.

Explanation:

Acute kidney injury is when there is sudden and often reversible loss of renal function which develops over days or weeks and is usually accompanied by a reduction in urine output.

There are many causes of AKI, which are classified as prerenal, renal and post renal. In prerenal AKI, the kidneys gets damaged as a result of hypoperfusion leading to acute tubular necrsosis. Common examples are severe dehydration( like in this patient from vomiting), cardiac failure, sepsis, blood loss etc. Renal AKI is usually cause by direct insult to the kidneys which can result from drugs, toxins, inflammatory conditions etc. Post renal AKI occurs when there is obstruction to urine flow at any point from the tubule to the urethra e.g in BPH, stones, strictures etc.

In Prerenal AKI, it leads to acute tubular necrosis. Histologically, the kidney show inflammatory changes, focal breaks in the tubular basement membrane and interstitial oedema.

Chronic kidney disease(CKD) refers to an irreversible deterioration in renal function which develops over a period of years.initially, it is manifestation only as biochemical abnormality but eventually, loss of the excretory, metabolic and endocrine functions of the kidneys leads to clinical symptoms and signs of renal failure.
