Non-ST Segment Elevation Heart Attack A heart attack occurs when a blood vessel on the surface of the heart (coronary artery) is blocked and interrupts blood supply to the heart muscle. This causes that area of the heart muscle to permanently scar. This blockage may be caused by cholesterol buildup (atherosclerotic plaque) within a coronary artery. The plaque cracks which creates a rough surface where blood cells attach, forming a clot. Chest discomfort that happens with exertion and goes away…

One of these being the ventricle of the heart. The ventricle of the heart is the main heart muscle that pumps blood. When HCM occurs the left ventricle within the heart thickens. When the thickening of the ventricle occurs there will be a decreased ventricular chamber volume, and abnormal ventricular relaxation. This deals with the diastolic aspect of the heart. Since the amount of blood pumped and ejected by the heart per minute will be decreased, the heart rate will increase. The heart is…

Heart attacks and strokes are usually acute events and are mainly caused by a blockage that prevents blood from flowing to the heart or brain. The most common reason for this is a build-up of fatty deposits on the inner walls of the blood vessels that supply the heart or brain. Strokes can also be caused by bleeding…

forty-five minutes. Once stitching is completed, clean up can begin. The incision area is cleaned by the Tech with medical grade disinfectant and bandaged. Then shots are administered by the Tech. Any extra services such as ear cleaning, nail clipping, and blood tests are done at this time while the patient is still sedated. After that the breathing tube is removed. It is at this time a reverse sedation shot is administered and the patient is returned to a kennel. It normally takes fifteen to…

System The urinary system is one of the eleven major organ systems of our body. This organ system is one that is often over looked. The urinary system removes toxins from the blood and maintains the acid-base balance of the body. This system regulates the chemical composition, volume, and electrolyte balance of the blood. The urinary system works in with the respiratory, integumentary, and digestive organs to eliminate waste. Reflexology supports and enhances the urinary system by removing…

It has a first line of defense and a second line of defense that have been present since birth. When we call it nonspecific immunity we mean that they don’t necessarily know what type of virus, what type of bacteria, or what type of foreign substance it is. They generally respond to things that are bad. All they know is that they see something that isn’t suppose to belong and they respond to it, but they don’t remember it. The first line of defense includes the physical and chemical barriers…

Jones. Mr. Jones appeared to be in distressed. He is now using his accessory muscles to breathe, crackles are heard on auscultation and there is decreased air entry in the left and right bases. Chest X ray revealed consolidation on the left lower lobe and atelectasis in the right lower lobe. After a series of investigation in the emergency department, Mr. Jones was commenced on Normal Saline at 125 mls/hr and he was given oxygen via non rebreather mask at 10L/min. He was then transferred…

The subphylum Vertebrata includes all the familiar animals we tend to see everyday, and some rare and unusual ones (O’Neil, 2012). Scientists classify the seven different Vertebrates based on their skeletal system, general environmental adaptation, and reproductive systems. These seven Vertebrates include, Agnatha, Chondrichthyes, Osteichthyes, Amphibia, Reptilia, Aves, and Mammalia. During the lab dissection, the class dissected organism from only four of these classes. First, we dissected the…

Throughout the past years, gang violence in Canada has been a major issue. From the case of the Surrey Six to Hells Angels beating a local Kelowna man to death, gang violence is no foreign term here, especially in British Columbia. Though gang violence has reportedly gone down in the past years, it is still something individuals across Canada fear. As stated by Jennifer E. Butters, James Sheptycki, Serge Brochu, and Patricia G. Erickson in Guns and Seblethal Violence(2011), gangs are a direct…

both of which increase the pulmonary venous pressure and consequently pulmonary capillary pressure. Vascular problem could arise from an insult to the blood capillary membranes or lung parenchyma caused by infections or inhalation of noxious gases. The main symptom of pulmonary edema is breathing and shortness of breath but it can also present has blood in sputum or excessive sweating. And other signs include and respiratory crackles on auscultation, anxiety, orthopnea, pallor, and also presence…
