Jessica Grandier Bio 204 section 201 Case Study 1a What are the normal values for PH, Erythrocyte count, Leucocyte count, Platelet count. ( 1 point each) The normal values for PH are 7.35-7.45, the normal erythrocyte count for males is 4.7 - 6.1*10^6 /ul million and for women it is 4.2 -5.4*10^6/ ul 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…

it addressed key learning points. Another presentation, while an intern, conducted in the General Medical Department of Albany Health Campus (AHC) reviewed up to date evidence of beta-blockers. I successfully targeted both juniors and seniors with this presentation providing essential details of commonly used beta-blockers but also reviewing recent evidence in particular therapies such as heart failure and atrial fibrillation. I received positive feedback surrounding the topic of choice and…

et al., 2013). Differential Diagnosis: 1) POAG with apparently normal IOP due to diurnal fluctuation. 2) Previous episodes of high IOP due to trauma, uveitis or steroids therapy. 3) High IOP masked by systemic treatment, such as systemic beta blockers, started after glaucomatous damage has already happened. 4) Retinal nerve fiber layer defects due to myopic degeneration or optic disc drusen. 5) Congenital disc anomalies simulating cupping, such as disc pit or coloboma. 6) Neurological…

restrictive cardiomyopathy like amyloidosis and sarcoidosis however, the underlying diseases can be treated. The backbone treatments for restrictive cardiomyopathy include diuretics, vasodilators, ACE inhibitors and anticoagulation therapies. Beta blockers help to improve ventricular relaxation and diastolic function, as well as increase ventricular filling time. Diuretics are used to lessen preload and help ease pulmonary congestion. ACE inhibitors also help to improve diastolic filling, but…

and this release subsequently affects blood pressure by raising it as part of the body’s fight or flight response. According to our textbook (Fox, p. 339), Pheochromocytomas are rare and usually benign tumors treated with alpha and beta adrenergic receptor blockers and adrenalectomy. Normal Physiology: The adrenal glands lie atop the kidneys producing and excreting hormones. The…

would be managed inpatient and would include intravenous anticoagulation and cardioversion. Then other pharmacotherapies may be used to attempt to keep the rhythm in sinus (Raizada et al., 2015). In research by Giner-Soriano et al. (2016), the "beta-blocker is the first-line therapy for chronic AF" (p. 873). Moreover, G. H. was being treated with a newer anticoagulant that did not require frequent lab work to assess coagulation studies. According to Opstelten, van den Donk, Kuijpers, and…

In modern Western society, avoiding contact with the numerous pollutants and substances that can trigger an asthma attack is virtually impossible. In the home, the workplace, even in the air we breathe, we're surrounded by an endless list of potential asthma triggers. A vast range of stimuli can trigger asthma attacks. Chief culprits include dust mites, air conditioning (which cycles offending substances into the air we breathe) and something as simple as cat dander! Individual asthmatics,…

It is a good idea to supplement with over-the-counter vitamins if this is the case. Some drugs, including beta-blockers and anti-inflammatory drugs, may also cause problems. It is also noted some toothpastes and mouthwashes that contain lauryl sulfate may contribute to canker sores. When Food Fights Back Some food sensitivities may trigger the problem or make…

Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy Rachell Shempert APII MW 0800 Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC) is also known as stress cardiomyopathy or broken-heart syndrome. The name takotsubo comes from the similarities between the left ventricle and the shape of a Japanese octopus trap. Stress is a common occurance in cases of TC. In approx- imately 70-80% of cases, transient left ventricular systolic dysfunction with apical akinesis and compensatory basal hyperkinesis characterized. The other 20-30%…
