Moderate drinking has been under scrutiny for many years; what do we as a society accept as moderation? There is no universal definition of moderate drinking. (Defour, 1999)Most often, the number of drinks consumed in a specific time frame refer to this concept we have contributed to knowing as moderate drinking. However, defining a drink can differ substantially and could be referred to as subjective. "Surprisingly, even in alcohol research no universally accepted standard-drink definition…

Duchenne’s muscular dystrophy is a hereditary issue portrayed by dynamic muscle degeneration and shortcoming that happens more in males. It is one of nine sorts of solid dystrophy. DMD quality that can be acquired in families in an X-connected latent style, yet it frequently happens in individuals from families without a known family history of the condition. The quality is the second biggest quality to date, which encodes the muscle protein, dystrophin. Young men with Duchenne solid dystrophy…

The LMNA gene (1q21-22, MIM 150330) encodes two proteins of the nuclear envelope – lamin A and C. They are intermediate filament proteins necessary for function and structural integrity of the nucleus. Lamins consist of an amino-terminal head domain, a coiled-coil central rod domain and a carboxy-terminal tail domain (Fig. 1A). They form dimers by rod domains and then associate in head-to-tail polymers creating complex network conjunction with other proteins located underneath the inner membrane…

Additionally, from the evidence researchers have discovered, the inference that can be made is that this substantial risk can result in having heart issues in the future. 2. The official name of the irregular disorder is called “Stress Cardiomyopathy”. It is dissimilar from a regular heart attack for the reason that the contractions cannot kill the heart muscle in correspondence to a typical heart attack. 3. In the article, “Study Suggests You Can Die of a Broken Heart”,…

the cardiac muscle, namely the left ventricle wall. It is not known how the mutation of MYH7 causes this thickening, but this thickening causes a functional impairment of the cardiac muscle. This thickening is found in those with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), which is the leading cause of death in young athletes. Approximately 50-60% of patients with a high clinical risk for HCM have a mutation in their sacromeric…

slightly to adults. This condition can develop due to volume and pressure overload, cyanosis, primary myocardial disease with either or both ventricles, metabolic dysfunction, and genetic mutations. Patients who have a structurally normal heart, cardiomyopathies is the most common cause of heart failure. (Hsu and Pearson, 2009)…

It is so vital to learn medical terminology when going into any kind of healthcare related career path. It is an excellent aid in helping healthcare professionals communicate with one another; but knowing a term itself and being able to break it down and really understand it are two different things. Too many people come into the healthcare world thinking they can just memorize individual terms and succeed. What they may not realize, is that being able to break down your words is so much more…

throat, fever, headache, body aches, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, liver and spleen enlargement and the Romaña sign (a swollen eye). The second phase of symptoms, the Chronic-phase, are irregular heartbeats (EKG changes), fainting (syncope), cardiomyopathy, congestive heart failure, dyspnea, emphysema, stroke, sudden death, chronic abdominal pain, chronic constipation, dilated colon and difficulty swallowing. The symptoms are usually mild during the Acute-phase and it lasts anywhere from…

intensive care unit, and my patient was D.B., a 60-year-old male. D.B. was on 4SICU because he had a heart transplant on 1/24/17. However, prior to and after his heart transplant, he had various multi-system physical disruptions. D.B. had ischemic cardiomyopathy with an ejection fraction of 25%. The normal ejection fraction lies somewhere between 55-75%. In 2010, the patient had an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) placed. In 2014, a ventricular assist device (VAD) was placed as a…
