Nausea and vomiting. Occurring in both the early and later stages of cholera‚ vomiting may persist for hours at a time. * Dehydration. Dehydration can develop within hours after the onset of cholera symptoms. Depending on how many body fluids have been lost‚ dehydration can range from mild to severe. A loss of 10 percent or more of total body weight indicates severe dehydration. The main character in the film‚ Walter Fane‚ is a doctor who specializes in studying bacteria. He travels to a small

Approximately 60 percent of a male’s body weight and 52 percent of a female’s body weight is fluid‚ which consists mostly of water and electrolytes. A reduction of only 5 percent in this fluid would result in a patient developing thirst and would be considered mild dehydration. 8-10 percent would cause hypertension‚ tachycardia‚ weak pulse

Nate Rhodes The Synthesis of Alkenes: Dehydration of Cyclohexanol Organic Chemistry Lab 1 Tuesday 8:00 11/08/11 Paul Jackson Abstract: The goal of this experiment was to form cyclohexene from cyclohexanol through a dehydration reaction. Cyclohexene was successfully synthesized according to the bromine test performed and the IR spectra. There was a percent yield of cyclohexene of 76.1%. Introduction: Alkenes‚ hydrocarbons containing at least one carbon-carbon double bond‚ are important

The water came from outer space to Earth. The water was brought to the planet for the comets. The water has a different structure for each state (gas‚ liquid‚ ice). Liquid water has random molecules. On the other hand‚ the ice has a more stable structure. The different structure between ice and liquid water can explain why the ice has less density than liquid water. Temperature is responsible for increasing the dissolution of components‚ and electrical conductivity. Pure water is not a good conductor

The symptoms of dehydration in adults include tiredness‚ dizziness‚ headache‚ muscular cramps‚ sunken eyes‚ passing little urine‚ dry mouth and tongue‚ weakness‚ and irritability. When dehydration becomes serious‚ the symptoms are general body weakness‚ confusion‚ rapid heart-rate and coma. The reason indigestion happen

Keeping patients hydrated by giving them enough clean water and monitoring their fluid intake to prevent dehydration effects‚ such as dizziness and dry mouth‚ is seen in the RCN’s enhanced nutritional care‚ which was formed using Florence Nightingale’s theory on keeping a clean environment for the patients’ recovery. In Nightingale’s environmental theory‚ making sure that the water is clean and pure can prevent patients from getting sicker when around patients who have other diseases instead of using
