Hypoxia Reflective Essay

Improved Essays
I learn a lot from my kids. They teach me something all the time and in turn I try to throw them some upbringing along the way . . . seems only fair. A couple of years ago, my daughter was not even 6 at the time, we were driving in town and stopped at a light. My daughter said to me "Mom look that lady is painting her fingernails while she 's driving!" Sure enough, my daughter was telling the truth. I guess since texting while driving was illegal it completely opened all doors for "manicures at the wheel." And then Floridians want to know why the auto insurance rates rise . . .

It was later that afternoon when we both were in the car again that my daughter taught me the lesson of the day. We were on the highway this time and noticed

She knew and understood and she was only 5. When do adults lose that knowledge? And why do they lose such basic common principles when it comes to common sense? I ask myself this question a whole lot when I watch or hear anything going on in the news today. Where has our common sense gone? Our Christian spirituality? And why do we have ignorant stupidity running the show?

There is a condition when a person does not get enough oxygen that is fatal and it is extremely sneaky - Hypoxia. Hypoxia has been the cause for many a tragedy especially in regards to flying. Someone can actually be losing their life and not even know that is occurring. The hypoxia victim will become euphoric, mental and visual sharpness will dissipate, and they drift away without even necessarily seeing any obvious causes for alarm. Air safety regulators are striving to find a solution to this silent killer.

I can 't help but use such a gripping horrific condition to exemplify what has happened to our country, politically, spiritually, and

When evil is bold and overly apparent it is so easy to recognize and discard. Those techniques are not in the devil 's best interest. Instead he works like "thief in the night", he tries to speak to weak minded, spiritually lacking, those who are going through heartaches, questionable morality, those who are broken, deficit in faith, greedy, and Godless and he empowers them to promote in some sly fashion but convincing way destroying all that is good and holy and Christ-like. It is fatal to all mankind.

Good and bad Americans alike are suffering with this choking evil "hypoxia". Those who should know better have been confined by "political correctness" repetitive political issues that never resolve, mass media untruth antics, and threatening accusatory

    The purpose of this philosophical research paper is to attempt to develop an understanding on the concept of suffering while investigating the problem of evil from a theological perspective using scriptural references from the Holy Bible. Evil is the Absence of Good The Bible teaches that God is a powerful and almighty God. Many people wonder why there is so much pain, suffering, and corruption in the world if there is a presumably good God overseeing it. According to the Bible, God could not possibly cause evil since he is a righteous God.…

    I volunteered at the Forest Mall for the Tootsie Roll Drive. This organization provides service for those people with intellectual disabilities. What I physically did while volunteering at the Forest Mall was hand out Tootsie Rolls outside to the people that donated money. I also would kindly ask people to donate as they came in or out of the mall. I kept a kind and loving smile on my face to welcome anyone who was willing to donate.…

    Everyone is influenced, as a part of his or her upbringing, by traditions and customs that are handed down from generation to generation. The act of becoming aware of the biases caused by these influences is referred to as Consciousness Raising. When tending to their patients, health care providers must always strive to be cognizant of traditions and customs of the patients for whom they are caring. There are three ways in which I would facilitate Consciousness Raising within the health care setting. First by recognizing bias within my personal sphere of influence, next by educating patients how to recognize the biases that they perceive to be true, and lastly by collaborating with the entire health care team to educate each other and prevent…

    The highest priority for Jackson is impaired gas exchange related to ineffective breathing patern. It is imperative to ensure that Jackson has a patent airway and adequate oxygenation during the seizure because hypoxia can have severe consequences on the patient’s condition. Jackson must be placed in a side lying position to facilitate airway positioning and reduce the risk of aspiration. He must also be suctioned appropriately when there are secretions. If safety precautions are not taken during the seizure activity, Jackson can face serious complications.…

    Commemorating America Through History Statues are cascaded in looming cloth, old glory burns on the sidewalk, objectors kneel while people cheer, signs are held and slurs are yelled, and children grow up with doubt and fear. The situations I have just described are in no way falsified or exaggerated. Our beloved America, built upon centuries of hard work, blood, sweat, tears, and a dare to dream and discover is being challenged. Countless attempts are curated and put forth to shut out the very values and events that have shaped our people and our very democracy.…

    Mrs. Smith was giving Aly a corrective consequence and it was a logical consequence. Logical consequences are “logically” related to the rule, meaning there is an obvious connection between the child’s behavior and the corrective action (Kostelnick et al., 2015). If aly is talking to her friend than the only logical consequence would be to move her away from that friend so they don’t talk anymore. Later on Aly will know this what happens if I talk during story time. I might have not agreed with the way Mrs. Lugo approached the children.…

    War Photographer by Carol Ann Duffy is about a photographer who is struggling with the consequences and reality of war. The voice of criticism from the experience of war combined with the use of poetic devices exposes the theme of war. The poet uses compelling and distressing illustrations in this poem to enthrall pathos into the reader’s feelings. The use of pathos stirs up emotions of sympathy, sorrow, and despair. Thus, his photographic films are filled with pictures of the genuine agony caused by the bloodshed of warfare.…

    Response To Hypoxia

    • 401 Words

    Hypoxia is a crucial feature of locally advanced solid tumors resulting from a poor oxygen supply delivery owing to excessive cellular proliferation and abnormal vascular architecture. Under these circumstances, cancer cells develop a series of responses in order to adapt to hypoxic conditions. The tumor suppressor p53 has been shown to mediate the cellular response to hypoxia depending on many contexts including cell type, duration and severity of hypoxic exposure. The sphingolipid ceramide, similar to p53, is involved in various growth suppressive activities such as the induction of cell cycle arrest, apoptosis and senescence. Accordingly, previous findings have generated conflicting data regarding a possible link between ceramide…

    Nephi's Temptation

    According to DC 93:37-39 we are able to withstand the temptations of Satan when we have light and truth. We gain light and truth by reading the scriptures, going to church, praying, following the commandments, and listening to the prophets. I have found that the more I do these actions the stronger my testimony becomes and the easier it is to choose the right and not the temptations of Satan. Notice that the temptations of Satan never cease even when we choose the right, however, when we choose the right we are filled with the light and truth of Christ and it is easier to choose another righteous decision. However, when we choose wickedness it becomes easier to choose another wicked decision and to turn away from the light and truth.…

    “Make America Great Again.” That is the slogan a man ran on as he somehow captured the attention and the vote of millions of American citizens. That false hope convinced the country that somehow the progression the country had made in the past eight years was not great and that we had to “take back America.” Through all the debates, interviews, conventions and campaign rallies this slogan reached so many and no one thought to ever question it. No one ever thought to ever ask the question of not how he planned to make America great again, but rather who he planned to make it great for again.…
