First Blood

A First Case of HIV/AIDS Contamination in the United States in the early/mid 80's HIV/AIDS first appears in the United Stated in the early 80's. Because it seems at first to affect only gays men, the disease took the named of "gay cancer" and was described as an auto destruction of the immune system due of sexual orientation. In 1982, it was found that the disease was also touching heterosexual and was renamed AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome.) The Republican Party funded the…

infection. The biochemicals that are spread in the blood stream to remove the infection causes swelling in the body. This inflammation becomes the root cause for organ damage and even the blood clotting during sepsis results in obstructed blood flow to limbs and internal organs that block the flow of nutrients and oxygen. In severe conditions, sepsis results in single or multiple organ failures. The advanced level of this condition leads to major falling blood pressure that is known as the…

life within. Old blood stained the streets along with filthy rags of cloth and unburied bodies on top of the dirt as if no one had the time. He continued to walk with little energy and he thought to himself if he couldn’t find fresh food before the dark comes, he needed to at least find…

collect fingerprint evidence. The first thing I did was I sketched the crime scene. I had noted was that the blood splatter directly below the head of the body was approximately thirteen feet from the North wall and about four feet ten inches from the East wall. My partner Caesar tested the blood with a hemastick and found it was positive for blood. He also took a blood swab from the blood below the body’s head, and took a control sample from the area outside of the blood splatter. He then…

in the blood which removes by the kidney. The adrenals are two small glands which sits on the top of the kidneys secrete important hormone, aldosterone. Aldosterone regulates the water level, but the water is extremely lost by taking Lasik; therefore, it cannot help body to recover hydrate. Lasik caused the decrease in blood volume causing dehydration. The blood pressure is affected due to the changes in blood volume within the cardiovascular system. The severe dehydration causes less blood for…

When I think of the emergency department (ED) I think of chaos, blood, trauma, and death. The emergency department experience was something I was not looking forward to. When I think about fields of nursing that I would like to try, the emergency department was not on the list. I am glad to report that this clinical experience has changed my feelings about working in the emergency room. The emergency department is a fast-paced environment where people are constantly moving. Many of the patients…

known as high blood pressure. Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of your arteries, which carry blood from your heart to other parts of your body (About High Blood Pressure 2011). If you have high blood pressure, the force exerted on your arteries is too high. It 's so high that it creates microscopic tears in the artery walls that then turn into scar tissue. High blood pressure causes scarred arteries that fill up with plaque and become more prone to blood clots.…

The pulmonary circulation carries deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs where oxygen and carbon dioxide exchanges occur and the blood that leaves the lungs is now oxygenated and can be transported to the systemic circulation after traveling back through the heart and leaving the left ventricle. Within the systemic circulation, oxygenated blood is not only transported systemically, but wastes are removed from tissues and then returned…

skull becomes blocked or narrowed. This will cause the blood flow to your brain to become greatly reduced. Tiny blood vessels then open up at the base of the brain and attempt to supply the brain with blood. This outcome is presented in the image above and you can clearly see how the term a “puff of smoke” was coined. The tiny clusters of blood vessels are unable to properly…
