of an internal disturbance and what feedback it initiates. When referring to internal disturbances, it is good to keep in mind that I am referring to disturbances situated or occurring on the inside of the human body (Dorland, 2012). A reduction in blood calcium levels is a good example of an internal disturbance (Bowen, 2003). The calcium levels refer to the…

gastrointestinal side effects i.e. include gingivitis, nausea, pharyngitis, stomatitis, anorexia, hematemesis, melena, GI ulcer’s and bleeding. Methotrexate can have adverse effects that have Hematologic side effects such as myelosuppression; suppression of blood cells and platelets in the bone marrow. Methotrexate suppresses haematopoiesis, which can cause anaemia, aplastic anaemia, thrombocytopenia, leucopoenia, lymphadenopathy leukopenia, and neutropenia. Immunosuppression effects such as…

is a hypotensive agent that acts on venous and arterial smooth muscle causing peripheral dilation. Because it is more active on veins than arteries it allows for a decrease in venous return leading to a decrease in left ventricular end diastolic pressure and preload. It has a quick onset of action of less than 2 minutes and a duration of up to 10 minutes. The half-life of nitroprusside is approximately 2 minutes. As it is metabolized, nitroprusside will combine with hemoglobin to produce…

disease. According to the gold guidelines people must be divided into four categories: symptoms assessment, airflow, weight loss, and muscle weakness. With this respect the presence of the other diseases is also considered. The use of X-rays and other blood tests are important for the complete diagnosis of the disease. Over expanded lungs, a flattened diaphragm, increased retrosternal airspace, and bullae are the signs of this disease in the X-rays. The following diagram gives the ample light on…

Blood transfusion is a surgical method used to transport blood to a patient’s circulation intravenously.

Under most circumstances, anyone who is suffering from a deficiency of producing blood, bleeding disorders like thrombocytopenia or haemophilia or an illness that inflicts anemia; such as kidney disease or cancer would most certainly have to undergo blood transfusion due to the risk…

Achalasia refers to a rare disease of the muscle of the lower esophageal body and the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) that prevents relaxation of the sphincter and inability of the muscles to contract, or absence of peristalsis, of the esophagus. LES pressure and relaxation are regulated by excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters however, patients with achalasia lack these nonadrenergic, noncholinergic inhibitory ganglion cells thus, causing imbalance between the excitatory and inhibitory…

Powerlab 4 Questions When taking our subject’s different capacities, we found that her inspiratory capacity (IC) was 5.58 L, vital capacity (VC) was 5.85 L, functional residual capacity (FRC) was 1.74 L, and her total lung capacity (TLC) was 7.32 L. When comparing these numbers to the averages for a woman’s capacity we find that: her IC was more than double of that of an average woman (5.58 L compared to 2.4 L); her vital capacity was greater than average as well (5.85 compared to 3.1 L).…
