In opposition, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) states that Atrazine has been casterizing and feminizing male tadpoles. The EPA hired Tyrone Hayes, a biologist at the University of California, to work for them. He was testing Atrazine and how it was affecting the development of tadpoles. Hayes raised tadpoles in .01 to 25 parts per billion (ppb) water with Atrazine. He conducted the experiment on African Clawed Frogs. This species of frogs is entirely aquatic. He raised them in…

Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist (NAVA) is a new mode of ventilation that is becoming more popular in pediatric hospital intensive care units as a method of weaning patients from mechanical ventilation. It is also aimed at improving patient ventilator synchrony. I plan to explain NAVA and the research of the use of this mode in the pediatric and neonatal units and find if it is more beneficial than other ventilator weaning modes. In the beginning, there was only what was called…

Breath sounds was wheezing on both lungs bilateral and SpO2 of 94 %. Patient appears with no sign of distress. He was able to take his medication without further instruction. Patient bed side spirometry conducted in 2016 reveals a combined obstructive and restrictive of the respiratory tract.

Introduction Influenza A virus is a respiratory pathogen that seasonally causes approximately 200,000 hospitalizations every year in US alone and affects human health worldwide extensively [1]. Seasonal viruses circulating in the human population cause annual epidemics with about 500,000 deaths per year. Furthermore, novel strains of influenza A virus without pre-existing immunity could cause a global pandemic with a high fatality rate; the 2009 H1N1 pandemic caused 151,700–575,400 deaths in…

Mechanical Ventilation and the Effects on the Cardiopulmonary and Renal Systems Amanda K. Godshall West Chester University Abstract The important objective of this paper is to explore mechanical ventilation and the many effects it has on a patient’s organ systems. The cardiovascular system can be affected along with the pulmonary and renal systems. Cardiovascular side effects depend upon the previous underlying cardiopulmonary status of each patient. Conditions pertaining to…

transmitted via respiratory droplets from an infected person.3 From here, it can infect directly to a susceptible host, or indirectly via fomites.3 Its transmission is greatest during the early stage of illness.3 Bordetella pertussis is a strict pathogen of the…

ABSTRACT Introduction There are different types of pneumonia, whereby Hospital Acquired Pneumonia is one of them. It is a disease that is contracted in a hospital normally after 48 hours of admission. This is dangerous, normally bacterial, disease. What make the disease so dangerous is that the patients who contract the Hospital Acquired Pneumonia immune system are low as they are already critically ill. The germs in the hospital are also more dangerous than that in the community. Case…

health problems include liver cirrhosis, pancreatitis, cardiomyopathies, neuropathies, and dementia. However, the lungs are also adversely affected by alcohol abuse.” (Simmet & Sisson, 2015). The lungs can develop TB, respiratory syncytial virus, and acute respiratory distress syndrome. The interesting facts made this experience intriguing and it was entertaining to see how people reacted to the facts. This experience was made possible by my FYS class or Nursing 1100…
