Abstract

Heart failure (2.6% prevalent worldwide) is a complex clinical syndrome, resulting from a structural or functional cardiac disorder and impairing ventricular filling or ejection capability. The current case of a 59-year-old male patient admitted on August 18, 2016 due to worsening shortness of breath and bilateral left extremity edema (one week) involved an existing diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM2). Physical and clinical profiles indicate a comorbidity between heart failure (HF) and DM2. Laboratory and imaging findings were not indicated, while diagnosis was based on the NYHA Classification guidelines. A review of literature revealed three crucial weaknesses in the diagnosis. ...

Patients with hypertension, coronary heart disease, and congestive heart failure have a high risk of developing impaired tissue perfusion and deep vein thrombosis. In this case, Mr. X, 71 years of age has a history of lower leg cellulitis and venous stasis ulcers in both extremities. Based on clinical and nursing diagnosis, Mr. X was known to have impaired tissue perfusion and the risk of developing deep vein thrombosis. Nursing diagnosis also revealed an altered body image due to psychosocial reasons and current health status (Mitchell C. 2016). Abnormal flow or maldistribution of blood circulation associated with selective vasoconstriction, ...

Functional Electrical Stimulation in Stroke Rehabilitation

Age-related changes in the spinal column produce a degenerative process known as spondylosis. Cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) is associated with changes in spinal column resulting in direct compressive and ischemic dysfunction of the spinal cord. Some symptoms, such as motor and sensory abnormalities, have been related to this dysfunction.1 Genetic, environmental, and occupational factors influence in the development of this condition, affecting not only old people, but also a spectrum of different ages, being a big source of disability and affecting negatively quality of life. 2 Clinical findings in cervical spondylotic myelopathy can be subtle, such as reduction in ...

In children, the presentation of a rash and a fever as in the case with this 24-month old patient is not normally a cause for concern and the early arrival at the clinic helps limit the spread of these symptoms to serious cases (Jarvis, 2015). In such instances, there are three major classifications; on in which the patient presents with a serious illness and may require immediate treatment, second where the viral syndromes are easily recognizable and manageable and third where there occurs an undifferentiated rash.

Pathophysiology of Chronic venous insufficiency and Deep venous thrombosis

Chronic venous insufficiency is a condition that describes a dysfunction of the valves in the upper and lower extremities or the inability of the muscles in these regions to exert the required pressure that can force the flow of blood back into the heart. Essentially, the arteries are designed to supply oxygen-rich blood to all parts of the body while the veins are designed to transport the oxygen-deficient blood back into the heart (McPhee& Hammer, 2010). These processes are enhanced by the pressure exerted by the underlying muscles within the upper and lower extremities as well as the ability ...
