The main function of the prostate gland, found only in men, is to discharge fluid that nourishes and protects the sperm. During ejaculation, the prostate gland also helps to push out the seminal fluid into the urethra. This gland is almost the size of a walnut and is located in the front side of the rectum, and in the center of the penis and the bladder. This is the passage way for urine to leave the body. Benign Prostate Hyperplasia (BPH) is a disease where there is an unbalanced growth of…

projection of sonar waves for echolocation. Despite its importance to the whale, spermaceti was a heavily exploited resource in the early 19th century as it would be used in the cosmetics industry, candles, and as industrial lubricant. Other than the coagulation of spermaceti, another peculiarity of the substance is its desirable and distinct fragrance. The spermaceti oil extracted from a whale is of the highest possible quality and has the least imperfections; oil from blubber would sell for a…

Are you aware of your breathing problems? Issues regarding Asthma Asthma, issue of the respiratory framework in which the sections that empower air to go into and out of the lungs occasionally contract, bringing on hacking, puffing, and shortage of breath. This is regularly transitory and reversible, yet in extreme assaults, asthma might bring about death. Asthma most ordinarily alludes to bronchial asthma, an aggravation of the aviation routes, yet the term is likewise used to allude to…

Nietzsche argues that man as an ‘artistically creating subject’ , and thus he creates his own language in which to live. However, the reliance than man has upon language leads him to fooling himself over the importance of such matters of truth and morality. Without an internal system of meaning man could not live with any repose, security or consistency, here meaning that language dictates what will happen and continue to happen. This ‘primitive world of metaphor’ , that is the language we have…

cholesterol levels. Medical conditions that may increase the risk of an attack of amaurosis fugax include: • Heart disease. • Diseases of the heart valves. • Certain diseases of the blood (sickle cell anemia, leukemia). • Blood clotting (coagulation) disorders. • Artery inflammation (temporal arteritis, giant cell arteritis). Since amaurosis fugax is an “incomplete stroke,” in some people it can be a sign of an increased risk for an actual stroke. A stroke can result in permanent…

The experiment addresses the question by exposing two samples of defibrinated sheep’s blood (DSB) to microgravity, then mixing one of the samples with Celox Hemostatic Granules, which will induce clotting in that sample. In total, four samples will be available to compare with each other: one that clotted in microgravity, one that didn’t clot, but was exposed to microgravity, one that clotted in regular Earth gravity, and one that didn’t clot, but was exposed to regular Earth gravity. Measuring…

According to Schouten et al (2008), sepsis involves the activation of the coagulation cascade coupled with down-regulation of anticoagulation and fibrinolysis. An intricate link between inflammation and coagulation exists within the body (Neligan, 2006). When a pathogen is present in the bloodstream or when tissue injury occurs, an inflammatory response occurs. The response causes a stimulation of the immune system to produce interleukin-1 (IL-1), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis…

causes recurrent infection (impaired phagocyte function), oculocutaneous albinism (impaired melanin trafficking) & peripheral neuropathy (impaired axonal transport). A copious amount of individuals who develop this syndrome have issues with blood coagulation and clotting, with resultant easy bruising and abnormal bleeding. If the disease is not accurately treated in children, most children with Chediak-Higashi syndrome come to a phase in the disorder called the “accelerated phase” which is…

The patient is of the Hispanic background. 1. This patient is at risk for infection or developing sepsis due to being 10 days postop for an amputation. Complete blood count measure how many white blood cells are circulating in the bloodstream. The normal lab values are 500-10000. Numbers larger than 10000 are indicative of infection. Lactate acid test should be run although the patient is at 96% room air. Organs produce lactic acid when the body is not receiving enough oxygen. The prevention of…

of the fat-soluble vitamin and helps in binding calcium in bones and other body tissues. Vitamin K helps in the carboxylation of several glutamate residues in proteins to form gamma-carboxyglutamate residues (Gla). Vitamin K also helps in blood coagulation and bone metabolism. Most deficiency in vitamin K is caused by lack of dietary supplements in diet and excessive use of broad-spectrum antibiotics. Patients taking broad spectrum antibiotics needs to take fava bean which can help compensate…
