As the name suggests, during surgery, the ovaries, along with the uterus, are carefully detached from the body wall (Flnk, 2014). This common procedure is performed on patients to aid in overpopulation as well as reduce the risk of uterine or mammary cancer (Why you should spay, 2014). Likewise, it is implemented in some instances to regulate behavioral issues, naturally seen…

There were a few practical problems when going through the steps in the extraction and purification of paracetamol from tablets. A problem that could be faced with this is accuracy. This would be an issue if the scales were not fully set to zero. This could be overcome by calibrating the spirit level. Also it takes time for it to fully reach its weight on the reading so you may move them too quick before the right weight has been set. Too add to this the propanone may not be filled to the…

If left untreated the condition can progress to deteriorating…

The Heart Every human to ever exist carries a hard working pump inside their chest. The pump is called a heart, and the heart’s main function is to deliver a supply of blood through blood vessels throughout the human body. According to research, the heart is a muscle that repeats the same pumping action during the whole lifespan of an individual and is about the size of ones fist. The heart is made up of several elements like the aorta and the mitral valves, along with other vital parts.…

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a narrowing of the small blood vessels that supply blood and oxygen to the heart. Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death worldwide. While the symptoms and signs of coronary artery disease are noted in the advanced state of disease, most individuals with coronary artery disease show no evidence of disease for decades as the disease progresses before the first onset of symptoms, often a "sudden" heart attack, finally arises (Gaziano et al.,…

neuropsychiatric lupus, potentially life-threatening SLE manifestations and ongoing or planned pregnancy. Clinical scores (i.e. SLEDAI-2K score, SELENA-SLEDAI Flare Index, SLICC/SDI score), daily prednisone intake, and laboratory parameters (i.e. white blood cells, anti-dsDNA antibody, C3 and C4 levels) were collected at baseline and at…

Rhabdomyolysis Pathophysiology, Risk Factor, Manifestations, and treatment Rhabdomyolysis is potentially life-threatening disease that rapidly breaks down the muscle fibers that causes the release of intracellular contents into the extracellular space and bloodstream. Physical interruptions in the sarcolemma membrane, called delta lesions, suggest that the sarcolemma membrane is the route through which muscle constituents are released (McCance & Huether, 2014). Rhabdomyolysis is an increase in…

people every year.1 Coronary heart disease results from the damage of the coronary arteries, which supply the heart with nutrients and oxygen. Coronary heart disease causes plaque formation in the coronary arteries narrowing the arteries and decreasing blood flow to the heart. Eventually, heart attack results from the complete blockage of the arteries. Basic knowledge about CHD’s causes, risk factors, and treatment can help people change their lifestyle accordingly to avoid the disease or…
