Autoimmunity and the Endocrine System Chad Martin Nursing 631 Grand Canyon University December 12, 2015 Introduction The immune system in the human body is protection. Protection not only from infectious disease processes and foreign bodies but from ourselves. The immune system is great to have when working well, however, there can be unintended and serious consequences when the system fails and initiates inappropriate responses to our bodies own cells. Autoimmunity specifically is the…

kilograms per meters squared. The value of her blood pressure however is a bit higher than normal. Normal values are 90/60 - 120/80 and Shannon’s blood pressure is 125/86. Her resting heart rate is 89 beats per minute and a body temperature of 38.40C. Currently her body temperature is about 1.40C higher than the normal temperature for a human body. Currently the only vital signs that are alarming would be her increased body temperature and high blood pressure. Shannon’s social behaviour includes…

Deoxygenated blood is sent to the atrium from several organs in the frog through blood vessels and veins. The blood drains from the organs starting to cleansing process. Oxygenated blood comes from the lungs and the skin and enters the left atrium. This area is the primary gas exchange site in most amphibians. Both atria dump into the single ventricle. The ventricle is divided into two narrowly separated chambers, which reduces the mixing of the two types of bloods. When the ventricle contracts…

nature. On the other hand, cavernous hemangioma generally present with longer history of symptoms and tend to be larger in size with accompanied pain. Cavernous type are most common in the lower extremity with only 19% occurring in the head and neck region.[8] Whereas mixed type is histologically and clinically similar to cavernous type. We find the cavernous classification most suggestive in this case study as evidenced by our clinical and histological findings.…

heart to become more and more difficult. Heart failure (CHF) occurs when the ventricles of your heart can’t pump blood sufficiently, causing fluid to build up not only around your heart but lungs, abdomen, and liver as well. There are multiple different types of CHF, the most common being left-sided which is when the left ventricle is weakened. Along with that, there are two separate types of left-sided CHF which are known as Systolic HF, where the ventricle fails to contract correctly and…

HENOCH-SCHONLINE PURPURA Usually called HSP, is a condition that affects the small blood vessels, this inflammation is known as vasculitis, their become swollen and irritated. HSP can affect anyone, it’s most common in children aged 2-11, and boys are affected twice as often as girls. A seasonal variation with a peak incidence in spring has been noted. The disorder was named after two German physicians, Eduard Henoch and Johann Schonlein, who first described the disease in the 1800s. Sometimes…

exists. Currently, patients are given intensive care support such as those that aid in preventing shock, maintaining blood pressure and oxygen levels. One of the main supportive treatments involving keeping the patients well hydrated and helping them to breathe as easily as possible, so that they attempt to beat the virus with the strength of their own immune system. Although this type of intensive treatment is not guaranteed to help a patient recover, it can happen. Timo Wolf, together with his…

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is also a chronic, progressive inflammatory disease that affects connective tissue throughout the body causing wide spread damage to organs and systems (Ignatavicius & Workman, 2013). A defining characteristic of SLE is periods of exacerbations then relief, which can occur suddenly or over time. Common assessment finding of an individual with SLE include a butterfly rash on the face, alopecia, and arthritis of the small joints and knee (Ignatavicius & Workman…

3 different types of muscle: Visceral, Cardiac and Skeletal Muscle. • Visceral Muscle: Visceral muscles are found in the stomach, intestines and blood vessels. Visceral muscles make your organs contract and move substances through the organ. Visceral muscles are an involuntary muscle. It is also known as “smooth muscle” because of its appearance when it is viewed under a microscope. • Cardiac Muscle: Cardiac muscle can only be found in your heart. It is responsible for pumping blood throughout…

Haemophilia is a hereditary bleeding disorder that impairs the body’s ability to coagulate or clot blood; it is caused by a deficiency or absence of a specific coagulation factor, usually factor VIII (FVIII) or factor IX (FIX). People with haemophilia will experience longer bleeding after an injury, easy bruising, and spontaneous internal bleeding. As of now, there only on-demand or instantaneous treatments consists of concentrate infusions of the missing factor and aims to improve a patient’s…
