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 increase in ph is alkalosis and decrease in ph is acidosis. 1c What are the terms used for Increase and decrease in Erythrocyte, Leucocyte, and Platelet count? ( 1 point each) An increase in Erythrocytes is polycythemia and a…

With blood smear analysis they were able to see that the mice studied showed the same effects expected to see in thalassemic patients. Red blood cell count, hemoglobin, hematocrit, red cell distribution had all decreased significantly were as reticulocytes, which are immature red blood cells without a nucleus in thalassemic mice when compared to the wild type. Using dual energy x-ray absorptiometry, they found that in the trabecular sites such as the femoral metaphysis, tibial metaphysis, and…

Climate change's equally evil twin is the name for ocean acidification its harmful because of the excess amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Since we don't see or feel it because the effects are happening underwater. CO2 is released by burning coal,oil and gas but its doesnt stay in the air but it dissolves into the oceans. The oceans have absorbed 525 billion of CO2 from the atmosphere and they collect about 22 tons per day. Scientist thought it was it good thing because it wasn't…

Clostridium perfringens is typically found in soil and if this is eaten or coming in contact with the animal it can cause variety of diseases, especially in domestic animals. These diseases include different enteric syndromes such as bovine and ovine enterotoxemia, fowl necrotic enteritis, and lamb dysentery. Strains of most toxin types like alpha and beta toxin have been involved in necrotic enteritis beta toxin is caused by type-C strains. The pulpy kidney disease is caused by type-D strains…

peripheries. Due to her COPD when the oxygen was turned up too high, she would begin to have a decreased level of consciousness. This is because her lungs are not used to that much oxygen and will begin to retain carbon dioxide, causing respiratory acidosis. When there is not enough oxygen getting to the brain, your thinking becomes disoriented. She is at an increased…

Worksheet 2 Case Study (For Modules 6-11, prepared by Mr. Mark Fielding) Please read the following case study carefully and answer the questions below. John, a 56-year-old male (174cm, 85.4 kg), presented to the Emergency Department (ED) with a decreased level of consciousness, pale, sweating, and cool peripherally. He had decreased air entry in both bases of his lungs, widespread crackles, and pitting edema in both ankles. Upon investigation, John’s father Jim tells you John had an…

Q1: Pt is diagnosed with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) which normally occurs due to antheroscheloric plaque rupturing and distributing in the blood vessall. Substances that promote platelet aggregation and thrombus formation are then exposed in the blood streams which will eventually cause blockage of blood flow in the coronary artery . Patient’s medical history of hypertension is one of the most important risk factors of acute Myocardial infarction as the constantly high blood…

HOSPITAL TREATMENT It is always difficult to distinguish venomous and non-venomous snake bite, the patient with the history of any snake bite should be admitted in the hospital for observation. Airway breathing and circulation should be stabilized in hospital if needed. The patients vital sign, oxygen saturation, urine output should be closely monitored. After taking the history a quick and through physical examination should be performed. IV access in one or both unaffected limb should be…

1. On presentation, this patient’s overdose has resulted in the following symptoms: bradycardia, bradypnea, hypotension, hypothermia, hypoxia, and non-responsive to pain. For this patient, an endotracheal tube would be placed to protect the airway and start mechanical ventilation, since the patient is having difficulty maintaining spontaneous ventilation. This will also protect the airway from potential aspiration. Continuous oxygen therapy at 100% to help improve the patient’s hypoxia.…

Pathophysiology Insulin is made by special cells called beta cells that are produced by the pancreas. Insulin is used to regulate glucose for metabolism. Insulin allows glucose to enter cells and without this glucose would not enter the cells of the body and blood sugar levels would rise in the blood, resulting in hyperglycemia. This process of high sugar in the blood without metabolism will eventually develop into Diabetes Mellitus. There are two types of Diabetes, Type 1 and Type 2. Either…
