Answer:

The best answer from the choices, to the question: The cause of the hyperventilation is described by which of the following statement:___, would be, B: A decrease in the bicarbonate concentration stimulates ventilation.

Explanation:

The acid-base balance in the human body, is a very restrictive one. Normal ranges in this base are: 7.35 to 7.45. Whenever the values go either below 7.35 or above 7.45, we are talking about a person going into acidosis or alkalosis. Both situations are pretty serious and they have to do with the balance between the amounts of bicarbonate, and CO2 in the form of carbonic acid, in the blood. The normal ratio of bicarbonate to carbonic acid, is usually 20:1. Chemoreceptors, especially central ones in the neck, measure constantly that the balance is kept and if this is not the case, then several mechanisms will be put into place to recover it. One such measure is respiratory, and the other is metabolic. In the case of this 17-year-old, he has a pneumonia, which means that from the start, one of his recovery mechanisms is impeded, which is the respiratory mechanism of balance. He is also having metabolic problems with his system of compensation because his body is already producing high levels of H+ ions and not enough bicarbonate. Hyperventilation in this person is attempting to expel as much CO2 as possible, to try and restore the balance. The first thing that is sensed by the receptors is the changing in the 20:1 ratio, the increase in pH due to too much carbonic acid, and thus the body initiates the use of CO2 expulsion by the lungs, while metabolic mechanisms come into play.

associations of patient-reported care satisfaction with symptom burden and healthcare use in hospitalized patients with cancer
Mekhanik [1.2K]

connections between cancer patients hospitalized for symptoms and healthcare utilization and patient-reported care satisfaction

What is healthcare?

It offers comprehensive care for health requirements across the lifespan, not only for a collection of particular disorders. Primary health care guarantees that patients receive high-quality, all-encompassing care that is as close as practical to their daily environments, spanning from promotion and prevention through treatment, rehabilitation, and palliative care.

From September 2014 to April 2017, we prospectively enrolled individuals who had cancer and unanticipated hospitalizations. We evaluated patients' physical, psychological, and emotional symptoms at the time of admission, as well as their satisfaction with their care (FAMCARE items: satisfaction with care coordination and timeliness of symptom treatment). We used regression models to find characteristics that affect care satisfaction and relationships between satisfaction and symptom load and length of hospital stay (LOS).

The majority of the 1,576 participants expressed "satisfaction" or "very satisfaction" with care coordination (90%) and the promptness of symptom treatment (89%).

High levels of care satisfaction are reported by cancer patients who are hospitalized, and these levels are associated with older age and admission to an oncology service. The significance of enhancing symptom management and care coordination in this population is highlighted by the relationships between higher care satisfaction, lower symptom load, and shorter hospital LOS.

33- Ketone bodies formation occurs in:​
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

⇒ In the Liver

⇒ Ketone bodies are produced by the liver and used peripherally as an energy source when glucose is not readily available. The two main ketone bodies are acetoacetate (AcAc) and 3-beta-hydroxybutyrate (3HB), while acetone is the third, and least abundant, ketone body.

⇒ Ketones and ketoacids are alternative fuels for the body that are made when glucose is in short supply. They are made in the liver from the breakdown of fats. Ketones are formed when there is not enough sugar or glucose to supply the body's fuel needs. This occurs overnight, and during dieting or fasting.
