I. The clinical presentation of the disease. According to the National Institute of Health, fatigue is the most common symptom of every type of anemia. The fatigue is caused by a decrease in red blood cells to carry oxygen throughout the body. Other anemia symptoms due to decreased oxygen carrying capacity are: shortness of breath, dizziness, headache, coldness in hands and feet, pale skin, and chest pain ("What Is Iron-Deficiency Anemia?," 2014). The erythrocytopenia causes the heart to exert…

world, social media only strengthens this, according to her findings. So, this means that social media takes in our views and strengthens them. This, of course, results in both positives and negatives, yet it also emphasizes the idea of social media absorption, because our…

The enzymes in the stomach break down food as well as kill bacteria. What cells in the stomach function to form enzymes and acids? Parietal cells in the stomach create hydrochloric acid and pepsin which digests proteins. Why doesn’t gastric juice digest the inside of the stomach? The stomach mucosa that lines the stomach is able to resist the juices of the stomach acid. What are sphincters and how are they related to the stomach?

Adequate daily intakes of macronutrients, vitamins, and minerals through healthy food sources is…

about 90-95 % is obtained in the visible region (400-700 nm) and the synthesized substrate show better thermal characteristics and withstands temperature upto 200 oC without any significant degradation. Characteristics such as transmittance (T), absorption (A), refractive index (n) and extinction coefficient (k) are also reported. Keywords: ); Flexible Polymer Substrate, Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), Thin Films, Organic Light Emitting diodes (OLEDs),Transmittance. 1. Introduction Organic…

a warmer color then the rate of photosynthesis will occur faster. in our experiment our group used fresh spinach leave chads to help figure out how photosynthesis was affected by light. An investigation on photosynthetic production based on the absorption spectra of pigments present in spinach leaves,…
