It was a snowy November morning; I was driving to my Human Relations class at St. Cloud State University. On this day I saw my life flash before me because as I was driving to class my car brakes locked up and then I hit a patch of black ice right before turning next to the St. Cloud Prison on highway 10. My car slid about 50 feet and all I could do was just hold my steering wheel and pray for the car to stop. During this moment my sympathetic nervous system (SNS) was reacting to this tragic…

Venous Disorders Definition Venous disorders are the group of pathologies that refers to abnormal functioning of the venous system. Venous disorders fall into two general classifications: 1. Blockage as a result of a blood clot called thrombosis 2. Insufficient venous drainage known as insufficiency Thrombosis includes:  Superficial Thrombophlebitis  Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) Insufficiency comprises of:  Varicose Veins  Spider veins  Chronic Venous Insufficiency Pathophysiology…

Fluoride, consumed in its varying forms, undergoes hydrolysis in the stomach which frees fluorine anions (F-), completely releasing them from their parent compound (Turney, et al., 2011). The fluorine anion is referred to as fluoride, the molecule of focus in this toxicological report. Fluoride readily crosses cell membranes by means of a pH gradient in which its negative charge becomes attracted to the free hydrogen cations found in acidic environments. This gradient and binding of fluoride…

Indications for recording an electrocardiogram There are numerous indications for recording an ECG however it is important to understand that the ECG can only directly measure time and voltage; all other information available must be derived or inferred. Research over a number of years has established characteristic patterns and measurements associated with a variety of disease states. However, the sensitivity and specificity of these measurements vary with different pathologies impacting…

Problem: For this procedure we tested are heart rate to see how it changed depending on what level activity we did. Heart rate is when the heart contracts because it is pumping the oxygenated blood through the aorta. Then the blood goes through your heart through the vena cava. Once you start moving the blood go through the capillaries to your lungs, legs, head and arms the blood flows through the inferior and superior capillaries.

Dyslipidemia is a prominent factor for the development of cardiovascular diseases that are the leading cause of death in the world, with left ventricular hypertrophy being one of these. Changes in the lipid profile are also responsible for the oxidative stress that affects several organs, and the liver is one of the most affected. Such involvement triggers diseases that affect the organ structurally and functionally. Herbal medicines in recent years are emerging as an alternative in the…

Spider veins or Telangiectasia as they are better medically known, are small permanently dilated capilliaries or venules and are often found in the face, legs and ankles. The presence of these veins can indicate a deeper circulatory problem but in most cases will be superficial and therefore harmless. (Werner, 2016) Spider veins are very similar to Varicose veins although much smaller and a lot closer to the skin. Veins carry deoxygenated blood through our body and back to our heart. In the…

Hello everyone, In this thread, I would like to discuss about stroke and Tizanidine, a pharmacological agent is to manage spasticity. Stroke transitioned from being the third to the fourth leading cause of death in the United States (Goodman & Fuller, 2015). Although the decline in mortality, it remains as the leading cause of long term disability (CDC, n.d.). Stroke is a focal vascular-induced injury of the brain. Disruption of blood supply may be caused either by an obstruction (called an…
