bixtya [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

  • 해파리 (cnidarians) have a worldwide distribution. Despite most being harmless, some species may cause local and also systemic reactions. 처치 of 해파리 envenomation is directed at: alleviating the local effects of venom, preventing further nematocyst discharges and controlling systemic reactions, including shock. In severe cases, the most important step is stabilizing and maintaining vital functions. With some 차이점 between species, there seems to be evidence and consensus on oral/topical analgesics, hot water and ice packs as effective painkillers and on 30 s application of domestic vinegar (4%–6% acetic acid) to prevent further discharge of unfired nematocysts remaining on the skin. Conversely, alcohol, methylated spirits and fresh water should be 조심스럽게 avoided, since they could massively discharge nematocysts; pressure immobilization bandaging should also be avoided, as laboratory studies show that it stimulates additional venom discharge from nematocysts. Most 처치 approaches are presently founded on 상대적으로 weak evidence; therefore, further research (especially randomized clinical trials) is strongly recommended. Dissemination of appropriate 처치 modalities should be deployed to better inform and educate those at risk. Adequate signage should be placed at 바닷가 to notify tourists of the jellyfish risk. Swimmers in risky areas should wear 보호 장비.

Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a serious condition caused by a recessive allele of a gene on the human x chromosome. the patient
dedylja [7]
Duchenne muyscular dystrophy is caused by a mutation on the X chromosome, so a male gets it from his mother's X, if she is a carrier. The male child gets a Y and no X from his father, so the disease is always transmitted through the X from the mother. If a female gets Duchenne muscular dystrophy she has to have two X chromosomes, one from a carrier mother and another from from an affected father. This is virtually impossible because most males die before childbearing age and there is no way a female child can get an X from a man who does not live long enough to procreate. About eight percent of carrier women do show some muscle weakness, but they do not have the disease.
