movement in 7 days. So, we gave her Miralax with prune juice and Colace. That day I was able to pass medications for the second time. They've put her on meds that mostly consist of beta blockers, calcium channel blockers and ACE inhibitors. I had to know the indications to why I have to give this patient the beta blocker. I was able to find the indication directly for the patient. So, the medication pass was a success. Also, understanding the contraindications is important. That's why it is…

It is also used for diabetic neuropathy and hypertension with left ventricular hypertrophy. Note and be able to draw the pharmacophore that appears to be responsible for activity. Losartan1 valsartan2 The molecule on the left is losartan and the…

clusters of protein fibers between the nerve cells, as seen in Figure 1. They can be formed when pieces of a protein, also known as, beta-amyloid, begin to bundle together. The beta-amyloid are smaller pieces to a large protein that is found in the fatty membrane surrounding the nerve cells. Beta-amyloid stick together and eventually form plaques. Small clumps of beta-amyloid are more damaging than the larger ones. This is because the small clumps can possibly block the cell-to-cell synapses.…

The Ampicillin Effect of Escherichia coli in a Beta Lactamase plate and non Beta Lactamase plate. Jimena Cárcamo Lab 4 Concepts in Biology 173 C October 6, 2014 INTRODUCTION Bacteria can be conserved in a lab in many different ways, but the most common way is a suspension culture. A suspension culture is when the cells are grown in a sterile, full of supplements, broth. The broth allows the cells to divide and grow easily and will later turn into broth turbid. When culturing…

functioning of an organism” (Comer, 2014). Comer also explains that, “The plaques and tangles that are so plentiful in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients seem to occur when two important proteins start acting in a frenzied manner. Abnormal activity by the beta-amyloid protein is key to the repeated formation of plaques” (2014). Researchers have found that early-onset Alzheimer’s, which is onset before the age of 65, run in families. Personally, I have had one friend of my family get Alzheimer’s…

Patient Afib is a 58 year old, Caucasian, married male. The patient has been healthy most of his life with no significant health issues until the beginning of this year. One night, in April of 2016, patient Afib began to experience chest pain, shortness of breath, nausea, and vomiting prompting him to visit the emergency room. Subsequent tests revealed that patient Afib had symptomatic atrial fibrillation. Physicians in the ER stated that patient Afib probably had had atrial fibrillation for a…

About 40,000 babies each year are born with a congenital heart defect (“Congenital Heart Defect”). It also states in the article that the most common type of heart defect is the ventricular septal defect. A ventricular septal defect is a flaw in the septum; the septum is a “wall” in the lower chambers of the heart that separates the left and right side (“Ventricular Septal Defect”; “Atrioventricular Canal Defect in Children”). Parents are able to be more aware if their child acquires the defect…

Within Gamma Phi Beta, Natalie is very involved. She attends all chapter meetings, and other sorority events. At each event, Natalie checks in with the vast majority of the chapter to make sure they are feeling their best. Natalie loves to build her sisters up and encourage them to be who they truly are. Natalie was one of the first people I met when I joined Gamma Phi Beta, and she proved to me that Gamma Phi Beta was the place for me. During Natalie’s time in Gamma Phi Beta, she was unable…

Primary Struggle in War Elie Wiesel in Night, is a young Jewish boy who faces atrocious experiences in his life at the death camps during the Holocaust. He declares a statement in the book regarding his faith during these horrid times. He states, “And in spite of myself, a prayer formed inside me, a prayer to this God in whom I no longer believed.” The quote provided perfectly portrays how Elie, and many others people during this era, struggled with faith.

Dehumanization in the Memoir Night The human race is classified as an animal, although under normal circumstances, humans do not operate in the way that an animal does. The people in Elie Wiesel’s memoir Night are an exception. During the Holocaust the Nazis associated the Jewish race as inferior to wild beasts and treated them as such in widely spread concentration camps throughout Eastern Europe in which German soldiers gassed, burned, beat, and shot thousands of Jews every day. Wiesel…
