the host body through direct contact between an infected area and broken skin or mucous membrane of the mouth or genitals, as well as via respiratory droplets. In addition, this virus can be transmitted through bodily fluids such as semen, fluid from herpes blisters, saliva, and fluids in the female…
skin in the form of a rash. Typically, the skin rash will appear on the upper region of the body and only affect the left or right side of the patient’s abdomen, back, arms, neck, or face. Shingles is only passed on through direct contact with the fluid of the blisters in the rash. It cannot be passed on by breathing in the patient’s environment it can only transfer through physical contact. Furthermore, once the person has been infected they may suffer from several symptoms some of the…
or in medical shows. It’s arduous and obnoxious, you don’t see the light of day, IV fluid bags are always changed at the time you’re sleeping and needles are stuck into you daily. That sharp, painful prick in the beginning and the rush of the fluid that you feel as it dashes into your body. And after the constant crying and remembering the pain of that first prick, you find yourself dozing off, as if the IV fluid was an anaesthetic that was used to shut you up. Being nine in a hospital was not…
bedtime after aspiration in order to restrict ROM of the elbow.2 Additionally. an elastic compressive sleeve or neoprene may have been another option to provide compression over the bursa and prevent accumulation of fluid. Though NSAIDS are one treatment option for bursitis, the fluid aspirated was hemorrhagic and therefore this medication was not suitable for this patient.1 Additionally, evidence supports the use of steroid injection for bursitis in athletes or those with demanding physical…
Septic arthritis, also known as infectious or bacterial arthritis, is described as a painful infection that is present in a joint capsule in the human body. Synovial fluid, a lubricating substance found inside a joint capsule, is sterile in an uninfected joint. When a joint becomes infected, this synovial fluid is taken over by microorganisms that set up the infection. It is an uncommon infection, but it involves immediate treatment if detected due to its ability to permanently damage the joint.…
it reaches the bottom it is forced back up between the borehole wall and pipe creating another barrier between the bore and any freshwater sources. In some cases additional sections may be installed and like surface casing, are cemented in place so fluids and gas dont get between the casing and the groundwater sources. What makes drilling in a shale formation unique is the necessity to drill horizontally. Vertical drilling continues to a depth called the kick off point (King). This is where the…
that you could lay them out and fill an average sized living room full of them. These capillaries that are located in the brain are surrounded by a single layer of cells. The layer of cells forms a type of barrier separating the capillaries and the fluid and cells of the brain. These cells are called "endothelial cells". Collectively this is known as the blood brain barrier. This barrier is a very tight barrier and is made up of three main components; the phospholipid bilayer, influx pumps, and…
Cells Interacting: Astrocytoma in its cancerous form is a situation in which a malignant tumor starts in Astrocyte cells, which have the purpose of protecting nerve cells. As the tumor grows invasively into these cells, it presses on the nerve cells and other parts of the brain. Cancerous astrocytoma will grow very quickly, spreading into other sections of brain tissue. As it does this, it will start to push on the brain itself and stop it from functioning properly. …. Function: The…
lymphocytes enter the blood. There are 3 types of lymphocytes; B-lymphocytes (B-cells), T-lymphocytes (T-cells), Natural killer (NK) cells each of these react differently to kill and remove microbes. The lymphatic system is responsible for keeping the fluids in the body clean and to remove the bacteria and the toxins from it. When the body is in good health the system has no problem in working as the lymph nodes…
check if patient has allergies to the medicines. Aspirin must not be administered to anyone below 18. If the fever is 102˚F or 38.8˚C or higher then, have the patient take oral medicines. Give a sponge bath to lower the temperature and increase fluid intake. Light clothes should be worn as overdressing will make temperature go higher. In case the person chills then put blankets until chills go…
