Hypoxia

of mountain sickness or mild ones during the climb” (Fields). This just shows the irreversible brain damage that can result from climbing at high altitudes, even from people that never got above 21,000 feet. There is a direct correlation between hypoxia and brain cell death. “Lack of oxygen [from high altitudes] can directly damage brain cells” (Fields). The death of these brain cells also affects climbers for the rest of their lives. “It is increasingly clear that these climbers are paying for…

Hippocrates believes that dyspnoea develop from “phlegm” transiting from brain to the heart; however, it actually comprises of an intricate interaction of physiological, psychosocial, social, and environmental factors (1). Dyspnoea is known as difficulty of breathing or suffocation which originated from the Greek word “dus” which means difficult and “pnoe” which is breathing (2). It can be define as a term used to distinguish subjective experience of breathing discomfort that varies in intensity…

Analyse Heath Information Define Hypertension and arteriosclerosis. How are they often related? hypertension is defined as elevation of the arterial blood pressure above the normal range expected in a particular age group. In other words, it refers to HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE. On the other hand, arteriosclerosis refers to any of several conditions affecting the arteries. The term is often used interchangeably with atherosclerosis, a disease of the arteries caused by deposition of fatty plaques in…

cannot be ruled out. An ideal marker of adequate resuscitation is one that accurately and reliably assesses resolution of tissue hypoxia and is predictive of patient mortality and outcome. In addition, it should provide this information in a timely fashion (within the first few hours) to prevent the adverse consequences of under-resuscitation and prolonged tissue hypoxia. Normalization of the vital signs mentioned above has been used as endpoints of resuscitation. However, critical review of…

Potassium channels (KC) are selective transmembrane proteins that allow K+ ions flow down an electrochemical gradient across cell membrane, thus controlling plasma membrane potential in both excitable and non-excitable cells (Szabo, Zoratti&Gulbins, 2010). Evolutionarily conserved KC family is one of the larges and most diverse of ion channels (Table1). Its diversity comes not only from a large number of genes coding for main subunits (over 80 mammalian genes). Many other processes such as…

of resources, the beliefs and culture, and the society in Ladakh India impact both maternal and infant health. Widespread use of biomedical services is shown in both an ecological context, as well as a cultural context. In an ecological context, hypoxia associated with the high altitude of the region places stresses on maternal and fetal health, whereas in a cultural context diet and roles in and out the household place further complication in reproductive health. In addition to the barriers of…

Also, group (A) showed statistical significant decrease in number of intubation attempts in comparison to group (B) denoting easier nasal intubation attempts in group (A). Patients in group (A) showed decrease in number of patients developed hypoxia during intubation attempts in comparison to Group (B). There were no statistically significant differences between both groups regarding pharyngeal trauma. Group (A) showed decrease of numbers of need to do corkscrewing in comparison to Group (B)…

GBM Satellite Lesions & Chemokines: Go or Grow Hypothesis Oncolytic virotherapy therefore offers one strategy to target cancer. Oncolytic viruses take advantage of the natural propensity of cancer cells to provide an optimal state for viral replication. After infection of tumor cells, oncolytic virus replication generates progeny that are released by cytolysis to infect nearby tumor cells, amplifying the therapeutic payload throughout the tumor and potentially reaching distal cells…

escherichia coli. This inflammation occurs in the alveolar sacs and the alveoli are filled with fluid, neutrophils, and there is also an increase in mucus production.The inflammation of the alveolar sacs leads to a decrease in gas exchange which leads to hypoxia (Lewis, 2014). There are several types of pneumonia and they include: community-acquired, medical care-associated, aspiration, and opportunistic. Community-acquired pneumonia is an acute infection in the lungs that occurs in patients…

A dead zone is an area that has barely any oxygen due to hypoxia caused by the process of eutrophication (Bruckner, 2017). Eutrophication is the over-enrichment of nutrients in water which causes an overgrowth of algae and hypoxia (US Department of Commerce, 2004). These dead zones are common all over the world and even found in Lake Erie which deals with re-eutrophication. The dead zone in the…
