Wewaii [24]

Answer:

1.) Abnormal parameters:

  • Difficulty focusing (confusion)
  • Elevated heart rate (tachycardia), with thready and weak pulse quality
  • Elevated respiratory rate (tachypnea). Rapid and shallow respiration.
  • Low blood pressure (hypotension)
  • Low blood glucose (hypoglycemia)
  • Low serum sodium (hyponatremia)
  • High serum potassium (hyperkalemia)
  • High ACTH
  • Low cortisol (hypocortisolism) (Note: this lab values are obtained normally at 8am, due to its physiological curve)

2.) Addison’s disease

  • Confusion: Hyponatremia causes confusion, due to neuronal imbalance.
  • Tachycardia: Inmediate response to hypotension, so as to maintain a adequate cardiac output.
  • Tachypnea: Hyperkalemia produces an acid-base imbalance (acidemia), which normally can be compensated by changes in the respiratory rate.
  • Hypotension: hyponatremia produces reduced water retention in blood vessels, affecting blood pressure
  • Hypoglycemia: hypocortisolism directly affects blood glucose (decreased gluconeogenesis)
  • Hyponatremia: Sodium retention will be reduced due to the absence of Aldosterone,
  • Hyperkalemia: Potassium excretion will be reduced due to the absence of Aldosterone.
  • High ACTH: No negative feedback inhibits the production of ACTH (depends on cortisol level).
  • Hypocortisolism: Due to the non functioning cortex of adrenal gland, no cortisol is being produced.

Explanation:

Addison’s disease, also known as adrenal insufficiency, is a set of characteristic signs and symptom caused by the failure of the adrenal gland to produce steroid hormones, mainly Cortisol and in some cases Aldosterone.  This syndrome presents various causes, incluiding autoinmune disease, infectious, and infiltration by cancerous cells.

What did the Riptide sword give percy invisible or fly or a better fighter
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer: Riptide is used in close combat and is perfectly balanced in its wielder's hands. Riptide can destroy monsters and hurt immortals. But, since it is made out of Celestial Bronze, it cannot hurt or kill humans, as "they aren't important enough." As a result, when accidentally or even intentionally swung at humans, the blade simply passes through them. For example, in The Titan's Curse, Percy swings Riptide at a human named Rachel Elizabeth Dare by mistake and nothing happened to her. In The Lightning Thief, Percy defends himself against a gang of youths with Riptide, simply acting on instinct, but the blade simply passes through them, which infuriates the gang leader and causes him to chase Percy, Annabeth Chase, and Grover Underwood into Crusty's Water Bed Palace

It is almost impossible to lose as it is enchanted to appear in Percy's pocket if it is somehow lost. However, if Percy doesn't have pockets, it doesn't return, and this has led to a disadvantage, such as when Laistrygonian Giants attacked Percy in the sea of monsters
