Several factors contribute. Cavitations can happen naturally. The third molars (wisdom teeth) are an example. When the tooth erupts the jawbone around it dissolves to allow the tooth to surface. If the tooth is impacted, the bone will sometimes die and become infected. Due to the design of the channel for…

mechanisms. The baroreceptors in the aortic arch and carotid sinus that normally inhibit sympathetic nervous system activity are blunted in the patient who is experiencing heart failure. This results in high levels of circulating catecholamine (epinephrine, norepinephrine, and dopamine). In addition, the circulating catecholamine increase force of myocardial contractility, as does the increased activity of the sympathetic nervous system. The patient’s heart rate increases, and the blood…

Phenylketonuria is an autosomal recessive disorder and a common metabolic cause of mental retardation. This inborn error of metabolism is characterized by a deficiency in phenylalanine (Phe) hydroxylase activity, due to mutations in the Phe hydroxylase (PAH) gene. Phenylalanine hydroxylase is responsible for converting Phe to Tyr and requires the cofactor tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4), molecular oxygen, and iron for its action (Blau et al., 2010). The reductant, BH4 is maintained in the reduced…

To perform CPR on a Labrador, you first need to move the patient to a centralized location that has easy access to an anesthesia machine for oxygen…

As Bernard (1961) postulates, all living organisms must have methods of self-protection, whether that means compensating for minor variations in the temperature, fighting off invading organisms, or fleeing from a predator. As organisms became more compound, so did the repertoire of responses that could be used to fend off harm. It seems reasonable that organisms better equipped to guard themselves would have a continued existence and evolutionary advantage over those less equipped. Physiologists…

some cases of Border Line Personality Disorder (Jones 2005). MOA has inter-twining functions with other neurochemicals that have already been associated with criminal and antisocial behaviour, such as norepinephrine, dopamine, epinephrine and serotonin.
