Acute coronary syndrome is an umbrella term for a group of clinical symptoms indicative of acute myocardial ischemia. These conditions include non-ST-segment elevation myocardial ischemia (NSTEMI), unstable angina, and ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). These conditions are high-risk manifestations of atherosclerosis in the coronary artery and significant causes of utilization of emergency services and hospitalization (Kumar and Cannon, 2009).

Jasmine is diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), which is the most common form of pediatric cancers. It is caused by malignant transformations that occur in hematopoietic stem cells, making them undifferentiated cells with increased longevity. In ALL, those cells are called lymphoid cells, and their rate of proliferation causes fast growth and destruction of healthy bone marrow. Because of Jasmine’s age, the chances for an initial remission can be estimated at 95 percent (Rytting, 2012). However, achieving a complete cure is not a likely outcome, and an open and honest communication with Jasmine and her parents about her condition ...

The average amount of water in the body of an adult person is considered to be around 60 percent of his weight (Rhoades and Bell, 2009). Therefore, if Mark weighed 180 lbs (85 kg), the approximate physiologic volume of water in his organism was around 108 lbs (51 kg).
If Mark weighted 168 lbs after the accident, we can think that this weight is the actual amount of water that he lost because during these several days he lost mainly water. Therefore, he lost 12 lbs of water, which is 11.11 percent of all water in his organism.

The onset of anaphylaxis is triggered by some outside cause-- common causes for anaphylaxis include bee stings and peanut consumption, for instance (Huether and McCance, 2008). Anaphylaxis can be triggered by both immunologic and nonimmunologic mechanisms (Huether and McCance, 2008). When mediators are released from certain white blood cells that are used in both immunologic and nonimmunologic mechanisms, the body reacts by presenting the symptoms that are commonly associated with a ...

Introduction
