The dilated cardiomyopathy is a progressive and chronic disease of the heart muscles, the most common type of cardiomyopathies, occurring mostly in adults 20 to 60, more common in men, usually starting in the heart's main pumping chamber (left ventricle), the muscles of the heart starts to stretch and to become thinner leading consequently to enlargement inside the chamber of the heart and can spreads to the right ventricle and then to the atria (Bhf.org.uk, 2017). When the heart chambers dilate…

carried out with a TEQ 03 potentiostat. For voltammetry in non-aqueous or organic solvent media (DCM or AcCN) a three-electrode system was used, consisting of two platinum electrodes, and either a working glassy carbon electrode; the supporting electrolyte (SE) was N(Bu)4PF6 (0.1M). De-aeration of all solutions was accomplished by passing a stream of high-purity argon through the solution for 10 min and maintaining a blanket of inert gas over the solution while making the measurements. The inert…

This system has direct control over the blood pressure, the volume of blood, and the fluid and electrolyte balance in the body. Angiotensin II controls vasoconstriction in the circulatory system, which increases blood pressure and can cause hypertension (Burchum and Rosenthal, 2016,p.471-473). Aldosterone is what controls the fluid and electrolyte balance in the body. It also is released from the adrenal cortex and activates retention of sodium, which increases the fluid…

intravenous fluids to treat dehydration, hyperglycemia, and electrolyte imbalance. Another complication due to hyperglycemia is named, hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (HHS) or hyperosmolar non-ketotic syndrome. This condition is life threatening and occurs steadily over days but can lead to coma and death if untreated. HHS advances to an alteration of sensorium affected by insulin resistance resulting in a destruction of fluids and electrolytes. Unlike DKA, the ketones are absent in this case…

addition, pulmonary function tests can establish the patient baseline, make the difference between obstructive and restrictive bronchiectasis and monitoring disease progression. Specific tests for suspected causes could be performed such as: sweat electrolyte tests and CFTR gene mutation analysis to diagnose cystic fibrosis (including in adults > 40 years without an identifiable cause of bronchiectasis, especially if they have upper lobe involvement, malabsorption, or male infertility) or…

System Safety in the Dreamliner: Containing Battery Fires Designing a long-haul, twin-engine airliner that impressed both operator and passenger was the goal of Boeing when they launched the 7E7 program in 2003. Sweptback wings, higher-humidity in cabins, composite fuselage, ultra-high thrust engines and a simulated sky interior were just a few improvements since air transportation of an earlier generation (“Boeing 787 Dreamliner long-range,” n.d.). The aircraft plagued by launch delays,…

could help their overall physique. Indeed, girls who experience traumatic eating disorders solely succeed in damaging their bodies rather than “fixing” it. Dr. Bailey draws attention to negative body image and eating disorders’ “comorbidity with… electrolyte imbalance, dental damage, and heart damage.” Purging causes dental damage due to…

Cognitive impairment and chronic mental illness are conditions that need special attention when noted. These changes can impact the older adult’s ability in performing their activities of daily living (ADLs) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs). According to Touhy and Jett (2012), cognitive changes are often overlooked and undiagnosed by healthcare providers that may lead to greater impairment and functional decline, because of missed early intervention and treatment (p.376).…

calculate the amount of particle and pulse height analyser will measure the particle size. Principle of Operation: Coulter Counter method is a technique that is able to measure the size and count the particles of experimented item suspended in the electrolyte using coulter counter instrument. For measurement of the amount of particle, coulter counter operates by measuring the changes in the current intensity between two electrodes that submerged in the suspension of particles in conducting…

Introduction Stevens Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are acute life-threatening skin diseases characterized by extensive epidermal sloughing at the dermoepidermal junction resulting from keratinocyte apoptosis. 1 Both TEN and SJS are rare, affecting approximately 1 or 2 persons per 1, 000,000 populations annually, and are considered medical emergencies, as they are potentially fatal. 2 The exact molecular pathogenesis of TEN and SJS are not fully understood. TEN…
