documented in patients with blunt trauma.[] [] Indeed, with the electrocardiogram and CK-MB as screening tests, the detection of myocardial contusion has increased from the detection of myocardial contusion has increased from 7 to 17 percent in patients with blunt chest trauma. However, false-positive elevations of the CK-MB isoenzyme can also be seen if the total CK is greater than 20,000 unites; this can occur after massive body injury.[][] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Categorization of…

G.S. is a very pleasant 83 year old white female admitted to the unit on 10/29/15 for congestive heart failure and shortness of breath. This is her second time being admitted within a week of discharge for the same diagnosis. G.S. is a widow who lives along at home. She has never smoked and does not drink alcohol. She is, however, a little on the obese side. Her niece is her power of attorney and she does have an advance directive. She has a family history of heart disease and hypertension, and…

or idiopathic hypertension. Secondary hypertension is high BP secondary to a cause. These causes include narrowing of the renal artieries or renal artery stensois, renal disease hyperaldosteronism, medications, pregnancy, and coarctation of the aorta. The Joint National Committee on Prevention, Dectection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High BP of the National Institute of Health defines a BP of less than 120/80 mm Hg as normal, BP 120-139/80-89 mm Hg as prehypertension and BP of 140/90 mm Hg or…

P1: Ankylosing spondylitis, or AS, is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease of the axial skeleton with a strong link to genetics, which mainly effects the joints of the spine and the sacroiliac joints of the pelvis. The strong genetic links sit with the HLA-B27 gene which has unusual properties in those with AS, and there is evidence to suggest that it may interact with the T cell receptors in association with CD4. Evidence suggests that AS has association with, not only the HLA-B27 gene,…

Tommy Bachman Williams Biology 31 May 2016 Period 2 The 5 Systems of the Human Body The human body is a fascinating thing. It is made up of 5 key component systems that keep the human body working as efficiently and smoothly as possible. These 5 systems are the respiratory system, circulatory system, reproductive system, nervous system, and the digestive system. The Respiratory System is the system in the human body that allows us breathe properly and efficiently. The system is split into two…

What is comparative anatomy, and what can we gain from it? Comparative anatomy is Organisms that are closely related to one another share many anatomical similarities. Sometimes the similarities are conspicuous, as between crocodiles and alligators, but in other cases considerable study is needed for a full appreciation of relationships like in cats and humans. Many anatomy students will end dissecting a cat long before they go near a human cadaver, there are many reasons for this such as lack…

Effect of studying systems of Fetal pig Purpose The purpose of this pig dissection lab is to organize the body sturcture by observing external anatomy, oral cavity, neck, superficial muscles, thoracic cavity, abdominal cavity, and both male and female reproductive systems. By studying the systems of the pig, it helps understand the systems of the humans because humans and pigs are both mammals which we can assume that systems of pig and human are similar. Results The sex of pig was able to…

What is athlete’s foot? Athlete’s foot is a common infection of the skin triggered by fungus. It’s usually referred to medically as tinea pedis. Athlete’s foot can take place anywhere in or around the foot but usually between the toes and the bottom of the foot. Athlete’s foot can be caused by many types of fungi including species of Trichophyton, epidermophyton and microsporum. The condition is usually developed by contact with the infected skin with the bacteria. It is often a crusty, red,…

These tend to stick out in terms of physical appearance but cannot be the only determinant in diagnosing FAS. Other disorders may share similar features as FAS.3 Due to these three factors FAS is easier to recognize, but others which fall under FASD, such as ARND, may be more difficult because only limited neural problems may be present. Also, to accurately confirm conditions such as ARND requires knowledge that alcohol was consumed during pregnancy.9 To acquire this helpful information has…

right. Remarkably, the pair of organs are able to process in the region of 1700 L of blood a day whilst only weighing approximately 113 – 170g (Porth, 2005). The blood is supplied to each kidney via a renal artery branching off from either side of the aorta (Martini, 2006), the renal artery then divides into segmental arteries that sub-divide into interlobular arteries as shown in figure 1 (Openstax College, 2013). The interlobular arteries go through a series of further branching until they…
