Pathophysiology: The disease condition known as benign hypertrophy of the prostate usually develops initially in the transition zone of the periurethral region of prostate. This zone usually consists of separate lobules of tissues lying external to the sphincter. Majority of ducts of the transitional zone of urethra lie on the lateral part of urethral wall. It is important to note that it is the point of urethral angulation near verumontanum. Near the origin of this transition zone, there are glands of periurethral region. These are usually confined in the preprostatic opening. According to a renowned researcher, majority of the ...

ANATOMY OF URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS

The urinary tract, simply put, is the bodies system of drainage through which excess water and wastes are removed from the body. It is a multi-organ system consisting of the two kidneys, two ureters, the bladder and the urethra. The kidneys are small organs that assume the shape of a bean and are equivalently the size of a normal human fist. They are located below the rib cage, each of them on either side of the spine. Wastewater (urine) moves from the kidneys downwards through two narrow tubes known as ureters, and it is then stored in the bladder, ...

Urinary System

Kidneys are the main organs of the urinary system that filter around 200 liters of blood and purify it through excreting excessive water, toxins, electrolytes and metabolic wastes that assist in maintaining body’s fluid equilibrium. The other components of the urinary system are ureters, urethra and urinary bladder (Marieb & Hoehn, 2003). The urinary system can be differentiated into main four parts, kidney, bladder, ureters, and urethra. Kidneys are secured by the tri-layered arrangement that includes an outer renal fascia composed of fibrous connective tissues, a middle ...

Urinary Tract Infections

Introduction Microbes such as bacteria, fungi and viruses are known to be the leading causes of infection. An infection of the urinary tract is associated with the urine formation system. The tract is colonized by several health bacteria. Infective ones are quickly eliminated from the system when available. The parts of the system that can be infected are the bladder a disease called cystitis. Urethritis affects the urethra, and the kidney is pyelonephritis which is caused by the diffuse spread of infectious organisms into the kidneys (Rechtsteiner & Schappert, 2006). The bacteria E. Coli is the primary cause of UTIs. ...

The urinary tract is also called the urinary system, consisting of the kidney, ureters, bladder and urethra (Amerman, 2016). The urinary system main function is to preserve homeostasis through water and electrolytes conservation and also excrete toxins from the body (Amerman, 2016). The kidneys filter blood and balance fluids in the body; the ureters are channels through which urine travels to the bladder. Urine is stored in the bladder before it is passed out of the body through the urethra (Amerman, 2016). The urinary system can be attacked by infections causing blockage, damage, and injuries to the tissues impeding ...

Introduction

Substances vary from one another in the amount of heat needed to produce a rise in temperature in a given quantity of gas. The quantity of heat needed to change the temperature of a system is proportional to the mass of that system as well as the change of temperature. This is expressed as where Q is the amount of heat required, m is the mass of the system, c is the specific heat, and is a change in temperature. The values of specific heat depend on some extend of temperature. In small temperatures, the specific heat is considered ...

The fish family includes sharks, whales, hagfish, and lungfish among others. Fish are water vertebrates and can exist in both fresh water and salt water depending on their adaptability. All fish are aquatic, and they survive by breathing oxygen that is dissolved in water. The two primary groups of fish include bony fish and cartilaginous fish. The aquatic habitat and environment are what determine the ecological structure of the fish. The entire system in which the fish lives is what is referred to as the fish ecology. Fish thrive well on sea nutrients, which are found at the bottom ...

A folay catheter can be described as a thin, sterile, and partially flexible tube that is inserted in the urinary tract to assist in the collection of urine from the bladder (Vlock, 2014). This function is considered vital in body operations as the lack of removal of urine from the body has potentially devastating effects, such as kidney failure, that occurs as a result of the urine retracting back to the kidney hence making it highly susceptible to causing damage. As a result, the use of catheter is considered significant, especially for patients who have undergone surgery around prostate ...

Urinary diversions are ways of releasing urine from a patient’s body when they cannot urinate following a malfunction in the urinary system. The two general forms of diversions include incontinent and continent urinary diversions. The following is a further explanation as well as the advantages and disadvantages of each procedure. Incontinent Urinary Diversion is an old form of tract reconstruction. Blake et al. (2010) present it as the quickest and simplest form of urinary diversions due to its familiarity across many urologists and other physicians. In this procedure, urologists harvest a section of the small intestine, attach a ...

Urinary tract infection (UTI) due to catheter usage is a common nosocomial infection that results to discomfort to the patient, activity restriction, and delay in hospital discharges. Added to these, it is an added medical expense to the patient’s own pocket because Medicare and other Medicaid Services have decided to stop reimbursing hospitals for the additional expense of caring for inpatients with catheter-associated urinary tract infection(CAUTI) (Sanjay et al, 2009). Thus, I am proposing Michigan Health and Hospital Association (MHA) Keystone Center’s “ABCDE” approach on preventing CAUTI(Sanjay, et al, 2009):

Abstract

Thermal physics is very important when studying the thermal properties of matter. One of the most important characteristics is the heat capacity ratio that compares the heat capacity at a constant pressure (Cp) to that at a constant volume (Cv). By heat capacity, we refer to the quantitative aspect of the heat emitted or gained in a matter in regard to the temperature change experienced. This quantity is expressed in units of Joule per Kelvin. Heat capacity is denoted by the gamma symbol (ɤ). Whenever a gas is heated, the volume increases leading to more force being exerted on the ...

The Genitourinary system consists of the urinary tract and reproductive organs. Diseases that affect this system are a variety of conditions that can affect people of all ages. Urologic diseases affect specific organs in males and in females – the urinary tract in females and urinary tract or reproductive organs in males (O'Connell, 2016). Some of the most common diseases include Urinary Tract Infections (UTI), Urinary Incontinence and Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). UTI basically occurs when bacteria invades the urinary system and infects any part of the system although the bladder and urethra are the most commonly affected parts. Women ...

A nurse in a nursing home care facility observed that there is an increasing incidence of urinary tract infection (UTI) among its elderly residents. Most of those who got infected happened to be using catheters. Thinking that the UTI may be caused by catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI), the nurse looked up the Internet to see if there are ways to minimize the incidence of CAUTI among the residents. The nurse discovered that CAUTI is one of the types of infections in long-term health care facilities that are most common (Nicolle, 2014; Matthews & Lancaster, 2011). Fortunately, the nurse saw ...

Introduction A routine assessment of a client is a process through which a trained nurse conducts a health assessment on a patient through interviews, general observation, physical exam, vital signs and assessment of all the body systems (Robert, Morrow, Maben, Griffiths, & Callard, 2011). I conducted a health assessment on Mr. M who came to the hospital with complains of sudden onset of shaking chills, shortness of breath, night sweats, chest pain and cough. The patient was admitted to the medical ward with a diagnosis of community acquired pneumonia. I conducted the health assessment on Mr. M while in his ward bed during my routine ...

Diverticulitis refers to the rupturing of the diverticuli resulting to infection in the tissues that surround the colon. Diverticuli refers to small bulging sacs in the inner wall of the intestine which are as a result of pressure within the colon as a person ages. The sacs are known as diverticulum in singular and diverticuli in plural. Scholars have argued that a lower fiber diet may contribute to the development of diverticuli owing to the fact that the colon has to use more pressure to push the stool forward. Diverticulitis then occurs as a result of faces being trapped on the diverticuli resulting ...

A. Identification of the Clinical Issue Catheter associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) is defined as “a urinary tract infection in a patient who had an indwelling urinary catheter in place at the time of or within 48 hours prior to infection onset” (Amalaradjov & Venkitanarayanan, 2013, p. 357). CAUTI is one of the most common hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) second only to surgical site infections. The most important risk factor to CAUTI is prolonged catheterization. CAUTI is a clinical issue that applies to nursing in the medical-surgical unit as many patients in this setting are catheterized for indications such as surgery, urinary retention, ...

Prognostic Cancer Biomarkers

The genetic diversity associated with cancer cells are shocking huge; and identifying a suitable prognostic marker is a real challenge. Prognostic cancer markers aims to evaluate objectively a patient’s overall outcome, response to treatment and chances of cancer recurrence. Prognostic markers can also help to select patients for a particular treatments and help predict the beneficial effect of the therapy. DNA, RNA, epigenetic patterns, signaling pathways, proteins, and metabolic biomolecules have been used as prognostic cancer markers. (Mehta et al., 2010)

Given below are few prognostic biomarkers commonly used in cancer medicine:

1. Beta tubulin: Beta tubulin regulates microtubule assembly in the cell. Class III tubulin are expressed by tumor of both neuronal ...

Introduction

Matters of sexuality and fertility especially during rehabilitation for the past thirty years have remained controversial because not so many people want to talk about them (Phelps et al., 2001). Persons with spinal cord injuries are in need of answers on how to handle their sexuality. These questions cannot be ignored. Most of them ask questions about their attractiveness, ability to have kids and relationships. To make the matters worse, studies on sexuality among people with spinal cord injuries are scarce (Karellou, 2003). On a positive note, advances in this sector have provided ways through which such people can ...

Abstract

Human XPA is a protein engaged in DNA damage recognition and repair. A mutation in the gene encoding the protein causes an autosomal recessive disorder, xeroderma pigmentosum (XP), which renders an individual sensitive to sunlight and causes skin cancer. XPA is a 273 amino acid protein, which is predominantly localized in the nucleus. It is expressed at both high and moderate levels in several tissues. The protein serves as a damage sensor in a nucleotide excision repair mechanism, through which the damage to a DNA strand is verified and repaired by formation of a newly synthesized strand. Besides this primary NER mechanism, XPA in conjunction ...

- History of tobacco smoking in America - The presence of tobacco in America dates back to the seventeenth century. Initially, tobacco was grown by poor farmers as a foundation crop. The demand was low and it was cheaper to acquire. However, subsequent wars increased the consumption of chewing tobacco, smoking pipes and cigars. Eventually, the market grew with the availability of slaves. Although slavery had existed long before tobacco was planted, the sudden increase in demand created an unexpected opportunity. The slave labor was incorporated into the tobacco labor force. Moreover, machine produced cigarettes reared its ugly head ...
