The medical literature also includes case reports of the recovery of a small number of patients following the removal of assisted respiration with cold oxygen. [18] The researchers found that in many nursing homes and hospitals unheated oxygen is given to non-responsive patients via tracheal intubation.
It is known that 30% of MS patients are non-responsive to Beta interferon. [17] They can be classified in genetic, pharmacological and pathogenetic non-responders. [ 17 ] One of the factors related to non-respondance is the presence of high levels of interferon beta neutralizing antibodies .
Sideroblastic anemias are often described as responsive or non-responsive in terms of increased hemoglobin levels to pharmacological doses of vitamin B 6. [citation needed] 1- Congenital: 80% are responsive, though the anemia does not completely resolve. 2- Acquired clonal: 40% are responsive, but the response may be minimal.
The protocol was originally developed as a memory aid for rescuers performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and the most widely known use of the initialism is in the care of the unconscious or unresponsive patient, although it is also used as a reminder of the priorities for assessment and treatment of patients in many acute medical and trauma ...
Thiamine deficiency is a medical condition of low levels of thiamine (vitamin B 1). [1] A severe and chronic form is known as beriberi. [1] [7] The name beriberi was possibly borrowed in the 18th century from the Sinhalese phrase බැරි බැරි (bæri bæri, “I cannot, I cannot”), owing to the weakness caused by the condition.
One’s biological age, which measures the body’s physiological state, may help predict who is at risk for developing colon polyps, a known risk factor for colorectal cancer.
Habituation is a form of non-associative learning in which an organism’s non-reinforced response to a stimulus decreases after repeated or prolonged presentations of that stimulus. [1] For example, organisms may habituate to repeated sudden loud noises when they learn that these have no consequences. [2]
E2 is globular and seems to protrude 6 nm out from the envelope membrane according to electron microscope images. [11] These glycoproteins play an important role in the interactions hepatitis C has with the immune system. A hypervariable region, the hypervariable region 1 (HVR1) can be found on the E2 glycoprotein. [10]
