The words advanced chronic changes in MRI results mean that there is some sort of chronic condition which has been present for long enough for the damage to be advanced. An example of this would be the changes which can be seen with advanced pancreatitis.
How can you determine when a function is increasing or decreasing?
Assuming the function is linear, the direction of the function can be determined by the coefficient's sign:[y = mx + b]Where m is the coefficient of x, if m is negative, then the function is increasing. If m is positive, the function is decreasing (this relationship is rather complicated and requires advanced calculus to prove).
Why C4 species distribute in most advanced families in different taxa?

A license for a respiratory therapist?
The following is written by and according to the U.S. Department of Labor and particular to the licensing of respiratory therapists.Licensure and certification. A license is required to practice as a respiratory therapist, except in Alaska and Hawaii. Also, most employers require respiratory therapists to maintain a cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) certification.Licensure is usually based, in large part, on meeting the requirements for certification from the National Board for Respiratory Care (NBRC). The board offers the Certified Respiratory Therapist (CRT) credential to those who graduate from entry-level or advanced programs accredited by CAAHEP or the Committee on Accreditation for Respiratory Care (CoARC) and who also pass an exam.The board also awards the Registered Respiratory Therapist (RRT) to CRTs who have graduated from advanced programs and pass two separate examinations. Supervisory positions and intensive-care specialties usually require the RRT.For the source and more detailed information concerning your request, click on the related links section (U.S. Department of Labor) indicated directly below this answer section.

What is the difference between a registered respiratory therapist and a certified respiratory?
A registered respiratory therapist passes a national board exam ( 2 part exam) and is considered an advanced respiratory practitioner. A certified resp. therapist also must pass a board exam ( 1 single exam) and is considered an entry-level practitioner. Pay rates are better if you are registered, job opportunities are also better. In my experience though, CRT's and RRT's work side-by-side doing the same jobs in the workplace.

What is the amount of carbon dioxide in people with c.o.p.d?
It depends on how advanced your COPD is, the more advanced, the more closely it is to your Oxygen (O2) blood saturation. In more advanced cases, your respiratory drive will switch from O2 and to Carbon Dioxide (CO2) such that oxygen will be toxic to you (will depress your respiratory drive). For a normal, healthy individual, pCO2 is 35-45mm HG. I've seen it rise as high as 130mm HG, at which time patient is extremely somnolent and difficult to arouse. Arterial Blood Gas, which is a test commonly performed for such a feat, will have partial pressure of Carbon Dioxide (pCO2) and partial pressure of O2 (pO2) on it, amongst other helpful dignostic values. If your COPD is well-managed, you should still have check-ups with your pulmonologist. However, if you have decreased level of consciousness, get out of breath more easily, if you're using your short-acting puffers more frequently, if your sputum changes color, thickness, smell, if your temperature >37.5 Celsius x3 days, go to the emergency department immediately.
