Introduction

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD) involves peripheral circulation, the brain, and the heart. The disease is a primary health issue in many countries around the world (Sawhney, et al., 2012). CVD develops through complex processes involving novel risk markers and common risk factors. Decades of research have demonstrated that a sibling’s or parent’s family history is linked to the development of atherosclerotic CVD (Gupta et al., 2013; Nelson, 2013; Imes and Lewis, 2014), which manifests as peripheral arterial disorder, stroke, and coronary heart disorder (CHD). Various Mendelian disorders have also been shown to contribute to atherosclerotic CVD. Although ...

Question 1: Pathophysiology of Mr. Jensen’s post-operative hypovolemia

Hypovolemia is a surgical condition that indicates the rapid fluid loss that may result in organ failures. The outcomes of the hypovolemia are mostly due to insufficient circulating volume or scarce perfusion. Often hypovolemia is secondary to hemorrhage the reason of which includes severe internal or external blood loss and GI, thoracic and abdominal bleeding maladies (Devitt, 2001). Hypovolemia involves significant fluid loss other than blood that can be further accompanied by refractory gastroenteritis and widespread burns. Hypovolemia may develop in post-surgical incidence, bone fracture, due to ...

Peripheral vascular disease is a term to describe the phenomenon of narrowed veins or arteries outside of those that supply the heart, brain, or lungs (Gardner, 2012). The most common form of peripheral vascular disease occurs in the legs and feet, and can be a side-effect of diabetes. The main symptoms of peripheral vascular disease are blue skin, the development of skin ulcers, cold skin, and poor growth of hair and nails in the affected area (Gardner, 2012). Although peripheral vascular disease is treatable, particularly if caught early, complications include infections and tissue death that can require amputation (Lockhart ...

1. Biot’s respiration named after Camille Biot is an abnormal ataxic breathing pattern, where rapid series of shallow respiration are followed by a period of apnea. In order to known how AMP kinase, knock down leads to Biot respiration in mice; it is necessary to known how AMP kinase affects respiratory rate. AMP kinase is a metabolic sensor and is activated in response to stretching of the lung alveolar cells and other stressors. During respiration, the lung goes through cycles of expansion and contraction (Budinger et al., 2008). When the alveolar cells stretch during expansion, the 5′ AMP-activated ...

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. ...

Appropriate clinical reasoning ensures that the patient receives the right intervention at the right time and for the correct reasons (Rossiter, 2013). In addition, the use of evidence-based practice (EBP) guarantees that the chosen intervention is right in terms of effectiveness supported by research findings. The clinical reasoning cycle (Levett-Jones, 2012) is a useful framework to guide the clinical reasoning process. The purpose of this essay is to apply this framework in the planning of nursing care to address dyspnea in Mr. Thompson, a 70-year-old gentleman admitted to the coronary ward with congestive heart failure (CHF). This essay will ...

Multiple Choice Questions

Increased erythropoietin production Increased heart rate Increased cardiac output Enhancement in oxygen extraction The answer for this question is b. increased heart rate. A reduction in tissue oxygenation as happens in anemia stimulates increased production of erythropoietin through a complex feedback mechanism. Increased production of erythropoietin enhances erythropoiesis in anemia. Increased extraction of oxygen in anemia is a compensatory mechanism that is mediated by an increase in 2, 3-diphosphoglycerate concentrations. Increased cardiac output is the main hemodynamic compensatory mechanism in anemia that aims to increase blood flow to the body organs. An increase in heart rate ...

1. How does the basic leaf structure suit its function? A leaf is a plant organ that is very crucial for a plant survival. It has a structure that makes it suitable to perform its functions. A leaf normally has a larger surface area so that they are able to absorb sunlight more easily. Sunlight is required by plants for the food making process. A leaf is normally very thin. This allows the carbon dioxide to travel and diffuse in a short distance. Also, oxygen which is usually a by-product, diffuse out easily. A leaf has a green coloring ...

Abstract

The literature defines hypertension as a medical condition experienced when the systolic blood pressure (BP) is equal or greater than 140 mm Hg or when the diastolic blood pressure is equal or greater than 90 mm Hg. Additionally, it offers a description of systematic, cellular, as well as molecular causes of hypertension. High blood pressure within the arteries is referred to as systemic hypertension (SH). The primary role of the systemic arteries is the transportation of oxygenated blood from the heart to the tissues of the body. The constriction of the arterioles (small arteries) is responsible for the high ...

I/O modules are normally the third most vital constituent of computer systems after the memory and the CPU. The requirements for computer systems are to have an efficient means for receiving inputs and delivering outputs. Computer systems have a variety of peripherals that deliver data at different speeds, in a wider variety of sizes and at different formats. External devices are generally not connected to the expansion or the systems bus structure of computer systems (Tarnoff 350). The problem arises in that I/O modules are slower than the RAM and the CPU, but a handful are actually faster. The ...

Hypertension, the chronic elevation of blood pressure, results in enhanced morbidity and mortality in the long run. However, researchers are not unanimous about the pathophysiology of hypertension. Studies over the years reveal that between 2 to 5 percent patients face elevated blood pressures because of underlying adrenal or renal disease. Rest of the patients, nonetheless, do not exhibit any clear and identifiable reason for the malady. This statistics has well persuaded medical practitioners and researchers to acknowledge the role of multiple factors that might play varying roles in different patients of hypertension. Some of the most researched factors include ...

Abstract

The study uses the Posner paradigm to determine whether the condition of the cue can affect the reaction time of the subject. Most importantly is that the eye movement was prohibited. Using the data of 143 subjects, the ANOVA method and Bonferroni corrections, we have found out that the condition does influence the reaction time, however the difference between the cues is not significant Nonetheless the reaction time was far off from the target 100 ms due to inexperience and not understanding of the task set before the subjects. The results of the study have shown us two processes ...

Medications pass from the mother to the fetus primarily through the placenta in the same way as the nutrients the fetus needs for growth and development. Substances which a woman takes when she is pregnant can affect the fetus in several ways: act directly on the fetus, cause damage and abnormal development or lead to the death, change the function of the placenta, usually due to narrowing the blood vessels, violate the exchange of oxygen and nutrients, or just cause harm to the fetus due to the decrease of blood supply. Teratogens are all those substances that have a ...

Discuss the impact these pathological changes have on normal function, including how alveolar ventilation might be different in Mr Wenham compared to a normal individual. The hallmark pathological attributes of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are one, poorly reversible airflow obstruction and two, a progressive atypical inflammatory response within the lungs. The abnormal inflammatory response denotes the responses of the innate and adaptive immune systems to long-standing exposure to noxious gases and particles especially cigarette smoke. Notably, all cigarette smokers have some degree of inflammation ...

Introduction

Heart valve surgery is used for the repairing or replacement of valves of the heart that are diseased. The patients receive general anesthesia in this type of surgery whereby the surgeon makes a large surgical incision in the breastbone. The incision is meant to enable the surgeon to reach the aorta and the heart (Kato Paragraph 2). The relevance of stroke to the procedure of open-chest valve surgery is that it is one of the risks associated with cardiac surgery. Other risks include death, failure of the kidneys, cardiac arrest, irregular beats of the heart, and post-pericardiotomy syndrome (Kato ...

Rat Endocrinology

Hypothalamus 1. What is the molecular mechanism to release TRH? TRH refers to the thyrotropin-releasing hormone. This hormone is produced by the hypothalamus. Before the full activity of TRH, some tightly controlled processes occur in the body including the appropriate folding of prohormone to move to the secretary pathway, the processing after translation, and movement of the peptides, which are processed, towards the secretary granules for secretion (Nillni n.p.). TRH develops from bigger inactive precursor (known as proTRH) as a result of modifications after translation and moved through the controlled secretary pathway. Prohormone convertases (abbreviated as PCs) including PC1/3 ...

A. An anticholinergic is a drug used in the treatment of diseases such as asthma, muscular spasms, insomnia and gastrointestinal cramps (Healthline, 2016). The drug is also used with anesthetics as it inhibits the action of parasympathetic nerve impulses by preventing acetylcholine reaching the receptor cells of nerve impulses. This may lead to memory loss, confusion, drowsiness and even sedation. These effects are more pronounced in old-aged people. Loss of muscular strength and fainting is a symptom which could be seen in the patient. Use of anticholinergic drugs is not recommended for patients with conditions like glaucoma, hyperthyroidism, heart ...

Abstract:

The most pressing of the issues that we are faced with nowadays is that of equality and fairness in the context of employment and employment opportunities. The main issue is that of discrimination and equality in employment. It does not matter if the access to employment is similar for all individuals or not as this does not affect your chances of employment, however certain people are indisposed to being discriminated against due to their characteristics. Our research and literature review shows and points to the fact that these issues are intrinsically linked to the race and the gender of ...

Modern ethnic processes tend to establish equal opportunities for inter-ethnic relations in the workplace and the destruction of disparate forms of communications. Modern integration processes and regional division of labor encourage both centripetal and centrifugal tendencies. The dominant ethnic group in the workplace practices usually discriminate different peripheral groups. The most important social factors that affect interethnic relations in the workplace imply social and ethnic stratification, the impact of social and structural changes, the ethnic factor of social mobility. Ideal in inter-ethnic relations in the workplace is a situation where ethnic groups have equal status contact. But this type ...

Cephalexin and Gentamicin The mechanism of action of amoxicillin is focused on the prevention of the synthesis of the bacteria’s cell wall through the binding and inhibiting of the cell wall transpeptidases (Katzung, Masters, and Trevor, 2012). Specifically, it attaches to the penicillin-binding protein 1A found in the cell wall of bacteria. Then, the agent disintegrates the lactam ring to allow the acylation of the penicillin-sensitive transpeptidase C-terminal domain. The formation of the cross-link of the linear peptidoglycan strands is prevented by the inactivation of transpeptidases. Since the third and last stage ...

Persuasion is a significant element of everyday lives. People are manipulated either intentionally or not to have perceptions against or for different ideas. The way people believe and judge things become a key factor to influence others. The Elaboration Likelihood Model explains the how different attitudes are made by use of persuasion (Yocco, 2014). Five different ways demonstrate belief; it is a form of communication where people can send out messages to others directly or indirectly. It is used as an attempt of influencing people’s decisions. It is a mode that utilizes more than words. People read deep ...

The story labeled ‘booze-branded merchandise may spur teen drinking’ indicates that teenagers owning merchandise with alcohol brands are at a high risk of drinking (Rauf, 2016, p.1). The research indicated a strong relationship between owning alcohol-branded merchandise (such as caps and shirts) with actual drinking of alcohol. Teenagers who did not drink were likely to start drinking a year after acquiring alcohol-branded items. Ownership creates the onset of drinking but has no influence on the amount of alcohol consumed. The conclusion emerges from a review of thirteen studies conducted by different researchers on the same subject. The review, however, ...

Part 1:

The nature of revolution is a fundamentally complex phenomenon, comprising a number of sociopolitical, economic and cultural factors that would inspire a group of people to rise up in significant and affecting rebellion against a ruling force. Marx, Lenin, Trotsky and Huntington all have somewhat differing ideas as to the kinds of people who are prone to undertake revolution, but they all largely revolve around a poverty-ridden underclass rising up against the privileged upper class to regain or achieve rights that they felt were being withheld from them. Karl Marx heavily favored the working class (the proletariat) as the ...

INTRODUCTION

There are many diseases that affect human beings that can be devastating and lethal, which dominates science journals and media. However, there are some diseases that cannot effect human beings rarely, but can be just as destructive and severe on some of the very species we rely on for hunting, as livestock and, most disturbingly, the animals that humanity keep as pets, including cats and dogs. One such disease is pseudorabies. Pseudorabies has similar symptoms to rabies, but they are unrelated conditions caused by two very different viruses. Pseudorabies is more often than not a fatal condition. Unfortunately, even ...

Introduction

The body is on an ongoing and continuous quest to maintain an environment characterized with equilibrium. Scientifically, this state is called homeostasis. It is the body’s internal mechanism that is meant to make the person survive, despite the numerous internal and external changes it may encounter. The body of a person who was acutely exposed to a colder than usual environment would, for example, react by preserving the heat that is currently stored in and generated by the body—something which can be done in a lot of ways such as, but may not be limited to vasoconstriction, ...
