last PM. No prior history of UTI. Vomited x1 yesterday. Her weight is 46 pounds (46lbs= 20, 9 kg= 21 kg). Exam. Unremarkable. Some regionalized abdominal pain. No suprapubic tenderness. Urine dip in office reveals 2+ bacteria, +nitrites, neg blood, glucose, ketones. Perineal area slightly excoriated. What would your treatment plan be for this patient? What would you prescribe? Allie presents with symptoms of urinary tract infection. Her urinalysis was positive for leukocytes and…

Angina Overview I have chosen this condition to investigate because I find it an interesting one, and one that I rarely hear about. Everyone has a heart, a muscular organ that pumps blood throughout our bodies through veins, arteries and capillaries. These blood vessels supply our other major organs and tissue with oxygen and carries away the carbon dioxide and waste.

amounts in the liver and blood. Which cases do we need L-carnitine? • Obesity: it acts as a transporter to transfer long chain fatty acids into the cell to be oxidized to produce energy, it is safe in diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and females with polycystic ovarian syndrome, its dose ranges from 500 to 2000 mg/day. • Body building: increases muscle mass. • Male infertility: increase sperm count and improves quality of sperms. • Heart failure, angina and reduces blood pressure and the…

virus (12). Nipah Virus can replicate very easily in human lung fibroblasts. It can infect the surrounding cells by either cell-to-cell spread or through release of infectious particles. When monocytes get infected, they can transmigrate through the blood brain barrier to infect the brain. This could be plausible if the monocytes were inefficient in early clearance of the virus. Nipah virus can also infect neuronal cells but cannot spread viral infection (13). Pathogenicity: In humans, Nipah…

heart rate at birth was 65 beats / minute (Figures 1). Post-delivery at NICU, the newborn was intubated duo to respiratory distress and extubated after about 48 hours and got stable with heart rate of 65 beats / minute. Biochemical tests and atrial blood gas (ABG) evaluation were in normal range. Echocardiography did not reveal any Cardiac structural abnormalities such as congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (CCTGA), Ebstein anomaly, left isomerism with the heart defect and…

Seminars in Speech and Language, 17;32;(2), 141-149. doi:10.1055/s-0031-1277716 − The article stated incidences of hyponasality in both cleft and non-cleft populations. Common causes of hyponasality include swelling of the nasal passages secondary to allergic rhinitis or the common cold, adenoid hypertrophy, nasopharyngeal polyps, or even hypertrophic tonsils that…

The great supplement that you have never heard about: Krill oil Krill oil comes from Krill, tiny shrimp like creatures that come from the Atlantic or Pacific oceans. Krill oil confers some dietary eicosapentanoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) (Omega-3 contents), the two fatty acids that are the active components of fish oil, both have the similar content of DHA but krill oil tends to have higher EPA content and Krill oil might be absorbed in the body better than fish oil. Major…

The inflammation process occurs as a reaction to the cells resulting from injury. The mediators of the tissue injury resulted in capillary dilation, which increased blood flow and permeability resulting in leaking of fluid. The site of injury increased leukocytes that resulted in white cells to migrate to the affected areas, thus producing a systemic response of fever (Effects of burn injury, 2010). The thermal injury was localized to the skin and systemic response to the area, resulting in a…

DVT can be life Threatening as it could lead to pulmonary embolism which may be deadly. It is essential for a medical facility to have a DVT prevention protocol in place DVT can be prevented A DVT diagnosis may prolong the patients stay, prolong recovery period, and lead to complications. Is the current DVT prevention protocol effective at preventing patients from developing clots secondary to knee or hip surgery? Are the non pharmacological interventions implemented at Hillcrest Convalescent…
