Lateral epicondylitis is the most common type of myotendinosis which can cause pain and loss of function (Dilek, 2016). This condition is often called tennis elbow because it is most commonly found in tennis players. Although lateral epicondylitis is an injury that many people can get from there daily jobs, a case study of a seventeen-year-old male who was playing tennis developed lateral epicondylitis. Lateral epicondylitis is treated by doctors and is confirmed by radiologists. The boy in the…

do everyday life without constantly being sick. A buffer is a mix of a weak acid and a conjugate base in a solution. They resist pH change when acids or bases are added to the solution. Blood is made up of red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets and plasma. Red blood cells help the body is carrying nutrients. Hemoglobin is the main component in blood and carries oxygen to rest of the body after it is pumped through the heart. red blood cells also carry carbon dioxide to the lungs so…

Clopidogrel reduces the rate of cerebrovascular and cardiovascular events in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), recent acute myocardial infarction (AMI) or stroke, and those with peripheral artery disease. Clopidogrel itself is a pro-drug that need to converse to active form through CYP2C19. This has led to significant concern that drugs inhibiting CYP2C19 (like PPIs) might reduce clopidogrel’s effectiveness. 1 Siller-Matula et al conducted a meta-analysis study to evaluate whether…

section 201 Case Study 1a What are the normal values for PH, Erythrocyte count, Leucocyte count, Platelet count. ( 1 point each) The normal values for PH are 7.35-7.45, the normal erythrocyte count for males is 4.7 - 6.1*10^6 /ul million and for women it is 4.2 -5.4*10^6/ ul million, Leucocyte count is 4,800-10,00 mmm^3 of blood and normal platelet count is 150,00-450,00 platelet for microliters. 1b What are the terms used for increase and decrease in PH? ( 1 point each) An…

section, the various usages and the effects of resveratrol will be discussed in the subsequent subsections. Some of the topics that will be explained and discussed are resveratrol and ischaemic preconditioning, its effects on lipid peroxidation, platelet aggregation,…

Just as the way platelet aggregation causes migraines, its opposite effect, preventing platelet clumping, has been demonstrated to have a healing value for mitigating headaches (Bic et al., 1999). High fat diets may be the first stage to causing platelet aggregation thus prompting migraines (Bic et al., 1999). The main objective of this study was to assess the levels of lipid intake…

bone marrow using a syringe. Then you need to take the stem cells and have the platelets removed. Platelets are cells in the blood that recognize when a cell is injured or needs to be destroyed. You need to take these out and put into plasma like gel to be added back later. After working on the plasma rich platelets the plasma is added back into the stem cells to create a concoction of plasma rich platelets and stem cells. These are put into the body in the place where the nerve was…

function is delivering oxygen to organs and cells via the bloods circulatory system. Platelets function is to clot blood so that it prevents any blood loss. Firstly the main protein is called hemoglobin, functioning to transport oxygen to the entire body including every tissue from the lungs, then transporting c02 back to the lungs. Furthermore fibrinogen is a protein in the matrix which works with the platelets to make blood clots and globulin is another protein in the matrix which delivers…

is characterized by a low platelet count caused by both increased platelet destruction and insufficient platelet production [1]. In Japan, there are 20,000 patients with ITP and the incidence of ITP is estimated at 3,000 per year [2]. Major signs and symptoms include red spots and/or bruising on the skin, prolonged bleeding, nosebleeds, heavy menstrual flow, and fatigue [3]. Patients with IPT are tired, depressed, have muscle aches, mood swings, dread the next platelet count, or are plain scared…

Hemophilia is a genetic disease that affects the blood. There are two types of this disease, they are classified as Hemophilia A and Hemophilia B. This genetic disease is most commonly found in males, although, the gene is passed down from the mother, the “carrier.” However, it has been discovered that hemophilia can occur in females, though it is rare. Hemophilia A is the classic type of this disorder where the affected individuals have a profound deficiency in Factor VIII, a part of your…
