What else can I help you with?
Is a severe thunderstorm likely to hit Florida?
Yes
What would happen if tornado or severe thunderstorm watches didn't exist?
If severe thunderstorm and tornado watches didn't exist, then people would be less likely to know about potential weather hazards. As a result, more people would likely be hurt or killed by severe thunderstorms and tornadoes.
What is likely to happen to people who drink stream water with micro-organisms in it?
The person who has drank the water will face severe diarrhoea, dehydration, cramps, nausea, Gastrointestinal Problems, which can lead to death in extreme circumstances
Is it true that if tissue damage is very severe tissue repair is more likely to occur by fibrosis or scarring?
fibrosis
If a person suffered from severe burns of the epidermis and dermis would you expect to find hair growing after healing?
Hair would more than likely not grow back in the areas where the burn occured because the Dermis contains the hair follicles, sweat glands, sebaceous glands, and blood vessels.More than likely scar tissue will prevent hair regrowth.
How long after a tetanus shot will severe arm muscle pain last?
I recently had a tetanus shot and the nurse told me that my arm would be sore for up to three days.
What are the key differences between tetany and tetanus, and how can they be distinguished from each other?
Tetany is a condition characterized by involuntary muscle contractions due to low levels of calcium in the blood, while tetanus is a bacterial infection that causes severe muscle stiffness and spasms. Tetany is typically caused by low calcium levels, while tetanus is caused by the bacteria Clostridium tetani. Tetany can be distinguished from tetanus by the presence of muscle twitching and spasms in tetany, while tetanus is characterized by more severe muscle stiffness and spasms.
Which disease is commonly called lockjaw?
Tetanus is commonly referred to as lockjaw due to the characteristic symptom of severe muscle stiffness in the jaw muscles that causes difficulty opening the mouth. Tetanus is caused by a bacterial toxin and can be prevented with vaccination.
What are the consequences for not getting a tetanus shot?
The simple answer is that you could get tetanus. Tetanus is a serious disease that attacks your nervous system. It causes locked jaw, neck stiffness, difficulty swallowing, rigidity of the stomach, muscle spasms, seizure-like activity, and death in about 10-20% of patients. It is common in soil and spread through bacteria that enters the body through cuts in the skin, so you don't need to be near someone who is infected to get the disease.
Which disease causing severe muscular spasm may be caught if injured by a rusty nail or dirty object?
Tetanus.
Is tetanus deadly?
Tetanus is a potentially deadly bacterial infection caused by Clostridium tetani, which produces a toxin affecting the nervous system. If left untreated, tetanus can lead to severe muscle stiffness and spasms, difficulty swallowing, and even respiratory failure. Vaccination and prompt medical treatment with antitoxin and antibiotics are essential in preventing and managing tetanus infections.
Is tetanus a virus bacteria or fungi?
No, It is cause by Clostridium tetani which is a Gram-positive, motile bacterium found in soil and animal feces. Toxigenic strains of C. tetani contain a plasmid encoding the potent exotoxin which causes tetanus (lockjaw).
How does the tetanus bacteria kill?
The tetanus bacteria, Clostridium tetani, produces a toxin called tetanospasmin that interferes with nerve signals, leading to muscle stiffness and spasms. In severe cases, these muscle spasms can affect breathing, leading to respiratory failure and death.
How can you achieve tetanus of the heart muscle?
Tetanus of the heart muscle, or cardiac tetanus, is not a common physiological condition as the heart has a built-in mechanism to prevent tetanic contractions. However, it can occur under pathological conditions, such as during certain types of electrical disturbances or in severe electrolyte imbalances. Prolonged stimulation of cardiac muscle fibers, often seen in hyperkalemia or after an electrical shock, can lead to a sustained contraction. This state is dangerous and can result in cardiac arrest or other severe complications.
Which disease causing severe muscular spasms may be caught from a rusty nail?
Tetanus, a bacterial infection caused by Clostridium tetani, can be contracted from a rusty nail or any object that introduces the bacteria deep into the body where oxygen levels are low. The bacteria produce a toxin that affects the nervous system, leading to severe muscular spasms and potentially life-threatening complications. It is important to stay up to date with tetanus vaccinations to prevent this disease.
What happened January 30 2002?
A severe ice storm happened in Oklahoma.
Which disease causing severe muscular spasms may be caught if injured by a rusty tail or dirty object?
Tetanus - although it is bacteria on the nail not the rust which causes it.
