External carotid artery

The abnormal values are the Wbc that is 18,732 as well as the bands at 12% and the Glucose that is 135. The wbc is high because she has the infection, so it is one way to know that an infection exists. The bands simply mean that wbc is mature and she has a lot of them. Having an infection can cause a stress response that increases everything in the body, so the high glucose has to do with the stress response. The vital signs that seem abnormal are the temperature of 102, the heart rate of 152,…

sustained, elevated blood pressure of 140/90 or greater. This condition develops over many years. Blood pressure is determined by the amount of blood the heart pumps and the amount of resistance to blood flow in the arteries. The more blood the heart pumps, the narrower the arteries become and therefore causes a higher blood pressure. Uncontrolled hypertension can lead to serious complications such as heart attack and stroke. Essential Hypertension and Secondary Hypertension are the two…

Introduction. Ischemic heart disease remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide 1. Intermediate coronary artery lesions are responsible for about 80% of acute coronary syndromes2. Accurate assessment of the severity of intermediate coronary stenosis represents an everyday challenge for interventional cardiologists. Fractional flow reserve (FFR), which is simply derived by the ratio between distal (Pd) and proximal (Pa) pressures under conditions of maximal hyperemia, represents…

Arteries Arteries carry blood at high pressure (80 - 120 mm Hg) They have a narrower lumen (to maintain high pressure) surround by a thick wall made of two layers The middle layer (tunica media) contains muscle and elastin to help maintain pulse flow (it can contract and stretch) The outer layer (tunica adventitia) contains collagen prevents the artery rupturing due to the high pressure blood flow Veins Veins carry blood under low pressure (<10 mm Hg) They have a very wide lumen (keeps…

Blood Pressure: Systolic and Diastolic Abstract Blood pressure is when your heart beats and so it pumps blood back up to your body for it to have energy and oxygen. However, as your blood pushes it creates strength, so this creates blood pressure. Pulse is to see the rate of your heart going beats per minute. In this experiment, we gather data to see if the level of physical activity could affect the result of the systolic and diastolic measures in blood pressure and if the pulse would also be…

Professional scepticism is an attitude or mindset that is used by auditors when conducting an audit. It is used in order to help the auditor assume a position that is objective and unbiased throughout the audit. It is viewed by many within the auditing profession as an essential quality that the auditor must possess when conducting audit and can be a major factor in audit quality. But it is not the only factor when it comes to obtaining high audit quality, with audit quality itself be hard to…

As any other career path one is always faced with decisions, pressure, and stress. However, it’s how one manage these challenges that makes us who we are and defines our identity that one builds for themselves. As an audit one encounters these at every second of their live. An audit is seen as the problem fixer in any corporation or firm, but the steps that they take to fix the problem is the assets that sets them apart from others in their work environment. To learn more about how this asset…

This study is based on conceptual framework from Donabedian (1966) McCkorkle et al. 2011. Mitchel, Ferketish and Jennings (1998) state: Donabedian 's perspective was essentially linear, assuming that structures affect processes, which in turn affect outcomes. Patient characteristics are sometimes considered as mediating outcomes and clinical interventions are considered to be processes” (Mitchel, Ferketish and Jennings, 1998). Per Grove, Burns and Gray (2013), the Design of this study is a…

conflicting guidelines from different jurisdictions. Harried security officers routinely spend so much of their time responding to current risks--such as employee theft, sabotage, social media risks of revealing too much information and other internal and external threats that they 're not able to develop proactive strategies…

Question 3 Priority Problems The two priority problems for Mr. Jensen are poor peripheral circulation and pain. Poor peripheral circulation is present as evidenced by assessment data gathered such as cool extremities, diminished peripheral pulses and swollen leg. In this situation, it may be due to health issues, such as obesity, hypertension or hypercholesterolemia and diabetes which may be all present in the patient considering his history. According to UK GP Research Database, a retrospective…
