The term “heart muscle died” is associated with a clinical condition referred to myocardial infarction (MI) that simply means a heart attack. The process occurs due to the formation of a thrombus caused by plaque rupture in the coronary artery that leads to an acute reduction of blood supply causing an imbalance in oxygen supply and demand. The limit in oxygen supply and demand leads to a reduction in the volume of blood flowing into the myocardium, the muscle responsible for supplying blood to the heart (Zafari, 2017). Eventually, reduction in the blood flow to the myocardium causes an ...

By finding answers to questions relating to human origins, reasons for existence and destination of the progress pursuit, Wright warns the society from traversing through progress traps, created by humans themselves, blinded by a short term urge to modernize. “We can go to understand the reckless aspects of human nature and circumvent the danger of arrogant self-destruction, ...

Benford's law also known as the first-digit law deals with the distribution of natural numbers in which it tends to major into their importance regarding significance. The law states that given any arrangement of natural numbers, the smallest number always seems to be the most significant while the largest number in the collection is always the least significant. Therefore, number 1 appears to be the most significant in any given combination of natural numbers 30% of the times. While on the other hand, number 9 appears only 5% of the times as the most significant number. The law states ...

Introduction Cirrhosis is caused by liver injury that results in fibrogenesis and inflammation. These problems result in collapse of liver structures and significant distortion of hepatic vascular structure. This distortion leads to elevated resistance to portal blood flow as well as portal hypertension. Moreover, hepatic synthetic dysfunction is also caused as a result of these problems. Clinically, liver cirrhosis is considered as an end-stage disease that could result in death until liver transplantation is performed (Tsochatzis, Bosch, & Burroughs, 2014). Liver cirrhosis is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in most of the developed countries. In ...

The ‘paradox of thrift,’ in essence, is the concept in which people inherently value being thrifty during economic recessions in order to not overspend, but this paradoxically leads to lower economic growth because people are spending less (Krugman, 2009). It is an important attribute to Keynesian economics, and it essentially calls into question the inherent virtue of saving as an overall good. When we have less money to spend, it is thought to be a good idea to avoid overspending and save money, since you need to save it for more important things. However, if enough people do that ...

In a landmark case, the judges concluded that for the success of a modern liberal nation, there must be a constitutional protection that ensures that the constitution promotes free expression “by establishing a marketable right to the use of one's expression, copyright supplies and the economic incentive to create and disseminate ideas”. Thus, by implication, copyright is supposed to be “an engine of free expression”. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the accuracy of the claim that copyright is an engine of free expression. The paper will critically assess the original position taken on copyright by the ...

Megan Ybarra and Paul Greenough examines the politics of ecology management in different academic works. The two works have similarities and contradictions between them, with some of the arguments rhyming with the popular beliefs while others are contradictory. In the article titled Bio-Ironies of the Fractured Forest appearing on the Series called In Search of The Rain Forest, Mr Greenough examines different hypotheses on conservation and the relationship between the wildlife and human beings which he refers to as “bio-ironies”). The first bio-irony discussed is that the modern exercise of conservation banishes conventional inhabitants of the forest only to ...

After Giving Birth

NR451 RN Capstone Course Term and Year After Giving Birth Even though postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is the leading cause of mortality after giving birth, most health care facilities do not have a standardized measures to assess blood volume loss and rely only on visual estimations for assessing and documenting blood loss. Consequently, blood loss below 250 mL tends to be overestimated, whereas blood loss above 2,000 mL tends to be underestimated (Bamberg et al., 2015).

Neil Borden (1965) is believed to be the first to have used the term ‘marketing mix’ suggested to him by James Cullington’s (1948) description of a business executive as ‘a mixer of ingredient’ (Van Waterschoot & Van den Bulte, 1992). The term, therefore, referred to the selection and mixture of various elements perceived to be useful in the pursuant of particular market responses. To facilitate the practical application of the concept to concrete business operation problems, early researchers working on the model sought to itemize the various influences on a market response that business executives at the time needed ...

What factors contributed to the problem? Volcanic activity is a major contributing factor to the issue of climate change. The eruption of volcanoes leads to the release of large quantities of water vapor, ash, dust, carbon dioxide, and sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere. In the atmosphere, these sulfur dioxide molecules will react with water vapor leading to the formation of sulfuric acid, which is then spread all over the world through winds. The sulfuric acid formed in the atmosphere can significantly affect the amount of solar radiation entering the Earth’s surface and thereby the ...

The Impact of the Theory of the Consumer Choice on Demand Curves, Higher Wages and Higher Interest Rates

The theory of consumer behavior shows how the choice is affected by the price of goods, income and preferences, and the way buyers maximize their net gains from the purchase of goods and services. The price change of a good affects the consumer demand structure in two ways. Any change in the price results in the appearance of the income and substitution effects, as it changes the amount of available goods and their relative prices. The above effects are consumer reaction to changes in relative prices and real income (Mankiw, 2014). The substitution effect is the change in the ...

Even if Macbeth and the Tell-Tale Heart, penned by Shakespeare and Edgar Allan Poe respectively, were written centuries apart, it’s the common theme of guilt expressed so well in the latter that helps us imagine Lady Macbeth’s state of mind (Deighton).

In the Tell-Tale Heart, the killer suffers from delusions after committing the deed in killing the old man and ...

Kakao Chocolate is a two-shop chocolate mecca near St. Louis, Missouri. They sell hand-made chocolate concoctions, special treats, cater for special events, and serve hot or cold specialty coffees. Their website and Facebook pages are both interactive, with options for customers to place orders through the website or in person. My first impression of Kakao Chocolate is that they are a tiny mom-and-pop shop that sells less-than-premium chocolate. The prices listed on the page seem much less than those typically listed for premium chocolates, and they have only two locations, which leads me to believe that they are not ...
