Introduction

Cardiovascular physiology involves the study of the circulatory system. It addresses more specifically the physiology of the heart and blood vessels hence the name cardio and vascular. Rabbits are generally nervous and non-aggressive and sociable with each other. In this laboratory, the primary experimental variables were the heart rate and arterial blood pressure. The main goal of this laboratory was to investigate the effects of different hormones on the rabbit’s blood pressure and heart rate by means of intravenous injections, nerve stimulation and respiratory alterations. We hypothesized that the catecholamines would increase the heart rate and blood pressure ...

Acute ischemic stroke refers to the death of brain tissue caused by interruption of the blood flow to brain. This interruption is caused by occlusion of a cervical or cerebral artery, or cerebral vein (Uchino, Pary, & Grotta, 2011). It is among the leading causes of death in the world. According to the estimates of American Heart Association, nearly one stroke occurs in every 40 seconds in the U.S., approximating 795,000 cases of stroke per year (American Heart Association Stroke, 2015). Assessment and management of acute ischemic stroke patients need to be done as soon as ...

Background

Based from the interview and observation, the two most common diseases occurring in both sides of the family are: (1) diabetes, specifically NIDDM, and (2) heart disease, specifically atherosclerosis. These diseases are commonly known as lifestyle diseases mainly because of their non-curable characteristic.
It was found out that diabetes, in the family, might skip a generation because one of our grandparents had it, but none of their children or our parents was able to acquire diabetes. However, this is still only a theory and is not yet conclusive as we are yet to establish the prevalence among our (second) generation. ...

Introduction

Blood pressure refers to the force exerted by the blood on the walls of the artery. Measuring the blood pressure is done in mmHg or millimeters of mercury and is given by two numbers. The number on the top shows the maximum pressure that is exerted by the heart while beating also known as systolic pressure. The bottom number shows the quantity of pressure in the arteries between heartbeats also known as the diastolic pressure. The difference that occurs between the top number and the lower one is referred to as the pulse pressure. Heart rate is ...

Introduction

Cerebrovascular accident refers to stroke in which the blood flow to the brain is interrupted due to a rupture of an artery to the brain or blockage, resulting in oxygen deprivation and consequent death of brain cells. Our brain needs a steady oxygen supply to have blood pumped throughout the body effectively. The blood flowing through the arteries to the brain carries the oxygen. In the case of a cerebrovascular accident, one or few of these arteries get ruptured or blocked, thereby interrupting the flow of the oxygen-rich blood to the oxygen. Within 60-90 seconds of oxygen deprivation, the brain cells in ...

Male circumcision is the surgical removal of the foreskin. Circumcision may be performed for various reasons such as medical reasons, religious and cultural reasons and HIV prevention. Firstly, circumcision might be done to treat the following conditions:
Phimosis is a condition wherein the foreskin is too tight to be pulled back over the glans penis. This can be a cause for pain during erection and may cause urination to be painful and difficult.

Recurrent balanitis is the inflammation of the foreskin and head of the penis.

Paraphimosis wherein the foreskin can’t be returned to its original position
Penile cancer
Aside from the medical reasons mentioned above, circumcision is a religious and ...

A stroke is a cerebrovascular event resulting in rapid functional cell death in local tissue. Strokes, also known as cerebrovascular accidents (CVA) are a major cause of disability globally (Doyle, Simon, & Stenzel-Poore, 2008) and occur due to a disturbance in the blood supply to the brain. This disturbance in cerebral blood flow commonly results in a period of ischemia, an interruption to the delivery of oxygen to the brain tissue. Focal ischemia due to occlusion of brain artery is the cause of more than 80 % of all strokes (Flynn, MacWalter, & Doney, 2008). The other major cause ...

Introduction

Hypertension, commonly referred to as high blood pressure, is a medical condition which comprises of incessantly elevated blood pressure in the arteries. Hypertension may cause damage to the organs and several illnesses including renal failure, heart failure, heart attack or stroke. According to (Luehr, Hayes, Johnson & Burke (2012), close to 30% of the adult American (U.S.) population have hypertension. Majority of these people are those over 65 years. This means that nearly 66.9 million U.S. citizens have hypertension. This number is predicted to rise as the number of those above 65 years continues to rise. Poor adherence to medication and ...

Current methods

The current methods which are used to monitor heart rate and blood oxygen levels are Phonocardiography, Oscillometry, Photoplethysmography and Electrocardiography. The sounds generated due to heart beat and murmurs can be recorded using through a microphone. This acoustic property which determines heart rate can be studied using phonocradiographs. As a result of repeated relaxations ad contractions variations in blood pressure is observed. The frequent pulsation of the vessels is detected by automatic blood pressure monitors via peizo sensors. The rhythmic properties of blood can be sensed through alight ray reflected from the finger or an ear lobe through Photoplethysmography. The relaxation ...

Descriptive Title

In a human body, exercises significantly affect the heart rate. When exercising by climbing and descending in a staircase, the heart rate seems to change, and breathing is affected. This experiment is used to make an analysis on the ups and downs on the staircase.

Introduction

Aerobic exercise that includes the ups and down on the staircase, is an extended activity-involving key group of muscles and increased heart and respiratory rate. Stair case climbing involves some muscles such as the calf muscles and Quadriceps in the legs. It is an exercise that requires few materials and hence becomes the best heart rate ...

Congestive heart failure

Congestive heart failure is by caused by amongst other reasons heart failure occurring due to either or both systolic and diastolic ventricular dysfunction. The use of the term “congestive heart failure” is used to imply that the patient in question is having some form of fluid overload. Congestive heart failure is a major cause of morbidity and mortality accounting for a significant proportion of hospitalizations. Of further note is that its incidence increases with advancing age (Tansley, 2010, p.1396). Although the presenting signs and symptoms of CHF have remained the same over time, great advances have been made in terms of ...
