Introduction

Domestic violence has adverse impacts on the development of a child. In fact, the emotional turmoil created by growing up in such an environment heightens the chances of the infant engaging in rebellious activities such as drug abuse and other denial behaviors in their youth.

Since she witnessed her mother withstand the abuse she received from his father, she felt obliged to keep up with his ...

Abstract.

The global sea levels have been on a slow but steady rise over the last two centuries. Global temperatures have been blamed for the rise in global sea levels with research showing that heat expands the volume of water in the sea and melts ice glaciers. The rise in sea level, if not curbed, could have diverse effects especially in regions with a unique topography such as Australia. Encroachment of dry land by salty sea water could cause pollution to seep into fresh water sources as well as render previously lucrative agricultural lands as barren. The issue of the steady rise ...

Monomorphic Ventricular Tachycardia

Cardiac arrhythmias often require immediate medical care that may include resuscitation (Ray, 2004). The diagnosis of cardiac arrhythmias can be challenging particularly in situations whereby the patient is asymptomatic and ECG findings are normal between symptomatic episodes (Cruickshank, 2008). Distinguishing between supraventricular and ventricular tachycardia is also a challenge (Australian Resuscitation Council, 2008). Cardiac arrhythmia should be suspected in patients with a history of syncope, near syncope, palpitations, and/or chest pain (Cruickshank, 2008). This paper will justify why monomophic ventricular tachycardia is the most likely diagnosis of a male patient who collapsed abruptly and has hypotension (BP 63/38), tachycardia ( ...
