without stimulation. They are also more dependent on aerobic metabolism for the energy they use to continue contracting. Smooth muscle known as nonstriated muscle is an involuntary muscle found in the walls of the blood vessels and different hollow organs. Around blood vessels it regulate blood flow through vital organs, in the digestive and urinary systems around the rings called sphincter, assist in the movement of materials along the passageway…

The heart is a hollow organ that sits in the mediastinum cavity, the heart itself is surrounded by a sack known as the pericardium. The most inner layer is the epicardium the outer layer is the parietal pericardium and in between these two layers is pericardial fluid. In a normal heart a person usually contain 30-50mL of pericardial fluid. The tough layer that surrounds the parietal layer is the fibrous pericardium. The fibrous tissue sack provides physical protection to the heart by not…

DOI: 11/22/2006. Patient is a 55-year-old male route sales representative who sustained injuries to his right elbow, shoulder, neck and back while he was exiting a truck and he stepped on the bumper, when the bumper collapsed.

which is located at the cranial aspect of the foreleg is a peripheral vein that is often used for venepuncture. This vein is often used as it is close to the surface of the skin and easily accessible (McCurnin and Bassert, (2002)).Before taking the blood sample, the dog is placed in sternal recumbancy or standing position and the area over where the needle is going to be inserted is shaved. If the dog is very small, it may need to be restrained in the owners arms and the foreleg extended.…

progresses, many signs appear; they also differ depending on the severity. All symptoms tend to develop slowly. These signs and symptoms include: fatigue, unexplained weight gain, puffy face, muscle weakness, aches, tenderness, and stiffness, elevated blood cholesterol level, slowed heart rate, depression, impaired memory, and many more. When a case of hypothyroidism turns severe, it is known as myxedema, which can be life-threatening. Constant stimulation of the thyroid can make matters worse,…

Zika virus can be spread during both the daytime and nighttime by a mosquito that carries the virus. A pregnant woman who is infected with Zika can pass the virus to her fetus during pregnancy or around the time of birth, which can cause serious birth defects. It is unknown whether pregnant women are more likely to develop symptoms of the disease compared to the general population. A person infected with Zika can spread the disease with a sex partner during the time of unprotected sex. There is…

Burns are one of the leading cause of medical emergencies in the United States. While young child typically under the age of five years old and adults over the age of sixty-five years old suffer with more burns than any other age group. Children and older adults have a harder time healing from serious burns due to the lack of hydration in the body and the skin is so fragile so burns tend to be deeper. Women usually only account for 31 percent of burn patients while men account for 69 percent.…

Bailey Article 2: ACLS medications and intent Summary Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) is the name given to a set of guidelines and recommendations produced by the American Heart Association to standardize healthcare provider response to cardiac arrest (Pozner, 2015). As time and research have progressed, ACLS guidelines have changed. Current recommendations, as of 2010, emphasize high quality chest compressions and early defibrillation, and that the evidence supporting these two…

It is now evident that an increased serum apo-β concentration is an important coronary heart disease (CHD) risk factor. Even in hypertriglyceridemic models, however, most of the total plasma apo-β is associated with LDL, making apo-β a good surrogate for LDL particle concentration. The larger apo-β carrying particles may be less atherogenic than the smaller LDL particles, suggesting that specific measurement of apo-β might be a better predictor of heart diseases [38]. The protective effect of…
