had to have a cardiac stent and follow up cardiac rehab. Exercise was now an overseen physician order. Bill responded well to this program. The increased interactions with people and the physical exercise impacted every part of his health. His albumin, which usually sat at 3.5 rose to 4. He was more positive, had an improved weight, and better gait. When the caregiver of the dialysis patients disengage, it results in patients demotivation, depression, and decline in adherance to the…

Microbes - bacteria, archaea, fungi, algae, protozoa and viruses - have been around for at least 3,500 million years and were the only life forms on Earth for most of that time. Microbiology is the study of these small organisms. A microorganism or microbe is an organism that is microscopic. The development of the microscope, along with the observations of various scientists, led to the discovery of microorganisms. It is thanks to Van Leeuwenhoek who is largely credited with the discovery of…

The medical condition Chronic Pancreatitis (CP) is an inflammatory disease causing irreversible structural changes to the pancreas, resulting in permanent impairments to the exocrine and endocrine functions of the pancreas (Thomas and Bishop 2007:440). CP main effect to nutritional status is severe weight loss due to malabsorption and patients are at nutritional risk (Mirtallo et al. 2012) of malnutrition and have difficulty with their appetite and maintaining weight. CP can also lead to the…

eaten. Solutions and chemicals were obtained from states such as Missouri and Illinois. There were multiple chemicals in the tests that were assessed at different concentration levels. Some of the other additives were glucose, cholesterol, bovine albumin and globulin, eight different vitamins and a total of nine amino acids. The formulas for concentrations were created based on what would be in blood normally. Solutions were composed new prior to each…

main urinary output of 30-50 mL/hour (Silvestri, 2017). Fluid resuscitation indicated depends on the what the HCP prescribes but common fluid resuscitation formulas for the first 24 hours after a burn injury are as follows: Modified Brooke: 5% albumin in isotonic saline, lactated ringer’s (LR) without dextrose. Amount: 0.5% to 15mL/kg/% TBSA burn. Parkland (Baxter): Crystalloid only (LR). Amount 4 mL/kg/% TBSA burn. Modified Parkland: Crystalloid only (LR). Amount 4 mL//kg/% TBSA burn +15…

absorbed. It also has an important role as it is responsible for detoxification of alcohol and certain drugs. Hepatocytes are responsible for protein synthesis in the body that are required for many functions, including blood clotting factors, and albumin, needed to maintain the fluid inside the circulation system. The…

uses to sort what should be excreted from what should be kept in the bloodstream. In the first part of the process, a membrane called the filtrate membrane filters out red blood cells, large proteins, and other large plasma solutes. For example, albumin is filtered out at this point, with only a tiny amount remaining in the subsequent glomerular filtrate. Because the afferent arteriole to the glomerulus is much larger than its efferent arteriole, fluid gets slowed down here quite a bit. The…

The integumentary function decreases with age and the elderly, in particular, are susceptible to greater risks of impaired skin as their skin becomes more fragile and lead to pressure ulcer development. The purpose of this research study was to determine if there is a single factor that can explain the pressure ulcer risk, or if there is a complex interplay of factors that increases the risk factor for the development of a pressure ulcer. The research question that is asked is: “To identify risk…

Wound healing is a complex dynamic process which replacing damaged cells with cells of same origin or with connective tissue scar. Wound healing has four time dependent phases; hemostatic, inflammatory, proliferative, and remolding phase. In each phase, specific resident cells release growth factors and cytokines to move the healing process from one phase to the other till complete healing occurs. Chronic wound stack in or delayed in one of the healing phases commonly inflammatory phase.…

The purpose of my experiment is to determine if the brining meat reaction in the meat causes a richer flavor and keep it moist and if blanching method enhances the texture of rice noodles rather than plainly boiling them. My two questions for this experiment are “ Does brining the 16/20 shrimp before grilling it enhance the richness of the flavor and moisture ?” and “ Does blanching the rice noodle instead of plainly boiling enhance the texture of noodles?’ With the first question, I have…
