Human BEING “To hurt is as human as to breathe.” ― J.K. Rowling. Mary Shelley’s novel, Frankenstein, intentionally addressed the differences between monster and man. She presents supporting and opposing evidence to the creation’s humanity and makes it apparent this being becomes human as “the monster” in the story. The reader sees how this monster can speak fluently and communicates an engrossing story of how he came to exist in this heartless and inhospitable society. The being fulfills the…

Teaching patients about gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) before and during pregnancies are both very important. It would be great if all patients could be informed about GDM before they become pregnant so they could get a healthy start to their pregnancy and possibly prevent GDM from occurring. It is also important for patients to know how to live a healthy lifestyle before and during pregnancy. The nurse may be the first to provide information to their patients and can play a key role in…

My dream has always been to be a physician and as I have gotten older I’ve realized that I do not just want to be any physician but rather a surgeon. As a surgeon you have countless specialties that you can pursue, whether it is: cardiothoracic, general, neuroscience, plastics, pediatric, neonatal, or OBGYN. This semester I am enrolled in PDBIO 220 (Anatomy) and have come to love and appreciate the human body more than ever. During our last weeks of class, we have been discussing the…

embryonic cell growth where the embryonic cells that line the abdomen and pelvic cavities become endometrial tissue and thus, cause endometriosis to develop. The Mayo Clinic authors also describe that after a surgery, such as a hysterectomy or Caesarean section, the endometrial cells from the uterus are displaced as they attach to the surgical incision. It is also possible that the blood vessels or lymph vessels may transport endometrial cells from the uterus to other organs. Once outside the…

When administered, sugammadex forms a water-soluble complex with aminosteroid non-depolarizing agents, thereby reversing NMB.22 Sugammadex has an affinity for aminosteroids as follows: rucoronium> vecuronium> pancuronium.1 Specifically, sugammadex is 2.5 times more selective for rocuronium than vecuronium.23 Sugammadex acts three to eight times faster than neostigmine to reverse a NMB.24 Due to its highly selective reversal of rocuronium-induced NMB, there is a new but growing interest in…

to Mrs. Bowles “Go home and think of your first husband divorced and your second husband killed in a jet and your third husband blowing his brains out, go home and think of the dozen abortions you had, go home and think of that and your damn Caesarean sections, too, and your children! Go home and think how it all happened and what did you ever do to sop it” (98). Montag portrayed a message to put down all the technology for once and think about life. Bradbury figured out that technology would…

that to deliver the newborn vaginally could cause the baby unnecessary stress; however, to deliver the baby by cesarean section could be an unwarranted surgery also posing surgical risks to Mariana. As Mariana desires to carry the baby to term and would like every effort made possible to save the baby, I think that with informed consent Mariana is entitled to a caesarean section if necessary. Do not put the newborn in unnecessary trauma and increase the possibility of a live birth. The principle…
