1 answer:

6 0

Bacteria in general grow optimally when the pH is around 7 (5-9 let's say). That is not to say that there are not bacteria that grow in extremely acidic conditions, like in our stomach, or others in extremely basic conditions, like the conditions near volcanoes. Nonetheless, bacteria that grow in food prefer acidic environments over basic ones and usually cannot tolerate the acidity of fruits which is around 4 pH for the most acid ones. For example, stuff like milk and bread that have a pH from 5-6 are prime examples of food where bacteria would thrive. Thus, the correct answer would be b.

Diagnose: Mrs. Harris is a 60 year old white woman. She has noticed in recent years that her height has slightly decreased. Rece

Brut [27]

Answer:

Q: Which skeletal system disorder might she be suffering from?

A: Osteoporosis

Q: What techniques could be used to diagnose her condition?

A: Bone mineral density (BMD) test or dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan

Q: What treatments are available?

A: Medication, healthy food.

Explanation:

The vertebral discs between vertebrae could shrink with age. Therefore, a height loss up to 1-inch is normal. However, if the height loss is more then it is possibly due to osteoporosis.

A bone mineral density test, also known as dual energy X-ray absorptiometry scan, is a well-adapted test to measure the amount of calcium and other minerals in the bones. It uses X-rays to measure the content of calcium and thus strength of bones.

A person who is already suffering from osteoporosis should be treated with medicine right away so that it stops further deterioration of the bones and avoid any future bone fractures. Further, it can be handled by eating a healthy diet and supplements such as vitamins D. In case some of the bones/vertebrae are already fractured, surgical approaches might be necessary.

sertanlavr [38]

Answer: Foods with calcium

The amount of bone tissue in the skeleton or bone mass can keep growing until the age of 30. It is recommended to eat food with calcium prior to this age for maximum strength and density of the bones. Examples of food rich in calcium are dairy foods, green leafy vegetables, beans, nuts, fish and a lot more.
