what day of the week was may 25 2008 UNANSWERABLE what led to this eruption? It initiated as a series of phreatic blasts from the summit then escalated on May 18, 1980, as a major explosive eruption. how was the climate that time? As May 18 dawned, Mount St. Helens' activity did not show any change from the pattern of the preceding month. The rate of bulge movement, sulfur dioxide emission, and ground temperature readings did not reveal any changes indicating a catastrophic eruption what were the damages incurred? The ash fall created some temporary major problems with transportation, sewage disposal, and water treatment systems. Visibility was greatly decreased during the ash fall, closing many highways and roads. Interstate 90 from Seattle to Spokane was closed for a week and a half. did anyone die? Yes, The ash fall created some temporary major problems with transportation, sewage disposal, and water treatment systems. Visibility was greatly decreased during the ash fall, closing many highways and roads. Interstate 90 from Seattle to Spokane was closed for a week and a half. has this place erupted in later years? Yes, the volcano remains active, with smaller, dome-building eruptions continuing into 2008. you have mentioned about a chemical emission above; what is its usage? The overarching, dominant use of sulfur dioxide is in the production of sulfuric acid. in what form does it occurs in nature? Sulfur dioxide is a noticeable component in the atmosphere, especially following volcanic eruptions and a major air pollutant is it used to preserve anything? Yes, Sulfur dioxide is sometimes used as a preservative for dried apricots, dried figs, and other dried fruits what biomedical or biochemical use it has? It is considered that endogenous sulfur dioxide plays a significant physiological role in regulating cardiac and blood vessel function, and aberrant or deficient sulfur dioxide metabolism can contribute to several different cardiovascular diseases, such as arterial hypertension, atherosclerosis, pulmonary arterial hypertension, and stenocardia. what kind of disease is this second one? Atherosclerosis is a disease in which the inside of an artery narrows due to the buildup of atheromatous plaque what kind of risks it faces? The presence of the plaque induces the muscle cells of the blood vessel to stretch, compensating for the additional bulk, and the endothelial lining thickens, increasing the separation between the plaque and lumen. This somewhat offsets the narrowing caused by the growth of the plaque, but it causes the wall to stiffen and become less compliant to stretching with each heart beat.

Atherosclerosis [SEP] Treatment
Treatment of established disease may include medications to lower cholesterol such as statins, blood pressure medication, or medications that decrease clotting, such as aspirin. A number of procedures may also be carried out such as percutaneous coronary intervention, coronary artery bypass graft, or carotid endarterectomy. Medical treatments often focus on alleviating symptoms. However measures which focus on decreasing underlying atherosclerosis—as opposed to simply treating symptoms—are more effective. Non-pharmaceutical means are usually the first method of treatment, such as stopping smoking and practicing regular exercise. If these methods do not work, medicines are usually the next step in treating cardiovascular diseases and, with improvements, have increasingly become the most effective method over the long term.
