Veins are favored over arteries because they have thinner walls, and thus they are easier to pierce. There is also lower blood pressure in veins so that bleeding can be stopped more quickly and easily than with arterial puncture.

Acute leukemia happens when most of the abnormal blood cells don't mature and can't carry out normal functions. It can get bad very fast. Chronic leukemia happens when there are some immature cells, but others are normal and can work the way they should. It gets bad more slowly than acute forms do

You review antibiotic use for pneumonia and find the average duration of antibiotics is 10 days with a range from 5-14 days depe
STatiana [176]

"Since the intervention is designed to reduce the number of days that a resident receives antibiotics for bacterial pneumonia, the rate of antibiotic days of therapy per 1,000 resident days is most likely to change if the intervention is effective. Because this effort is not trying to reduce antibiotic starts for bacterial pneumonia, neither the rate of antibiotic starts nor the proportion of antibiotics given for pneumonia may change as a result of the intervention. Although the rate of antibiotic use by class might change if one antibiotic class is most commonly used to treat bacterial pneumonia, this measure wouldn't be the best choice for evaluating the new guideline."

serg [7]

Answer:

The best answer to your question: Which type of neuroglia would play a role in controlling glutamate levels in the chemical environment, would be: Astrocytes.

Explanation:

From among the neuroglia, or support cells in the brain, whose purpose is to aid neurons in their different functions, astrocytes are not just one of the most numerous, but also one of the most vital for neuronal support. Amongst one of their most central functions is to help in the control of neurotransmitter emition and retention in the synaptic cleft, between two communicating neurons, and therefore, helps regulate the responses from post-synaptic, and pre-synaptic neurons. It is also responsible for clearing up the presence of ions in the extracellular space, and producing ATP, which regulates the amount of neurotransmitters that are released, and taken, by pre-synaptic, and post-synaptic neurons.

In ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) the issue with glutamate, a neurotransmitter that excites post-synaptic neurons into releasing excess amounts of calcium, is that this hyper-excitatory response leads neurons, particularly motor neurons, to die, and this is what causes ALS. It has been found through research that astrocytes have to do in this process, but it is not clear yet whether there is a failure in their control system, as ALS is still a condition that is very much under study and still without a cure.
