Hypoxia

There are numerous signs and symptoms that will indicate that a child has RDS. Infants that are experiencing hypoxia (a deficiency in the amount of oxygen reaching the tissues) will appear to have a bluish /greyish tint to their skin known as, cyanosis. Cyanosis is an indicator that there is not enough oxygen in the blood. If a child has hypoxia and cyanosis, then the doctors can diagnose the infant with respiratory distress syndrome. Some other symptoms of RDS are dyspnea (difficulty…

contraction of the uterine can exert blood flow through the intervillous space while the normal systemic blood flow is reduced. This abnormal perfusion will result in fetoplacental insufficiency and ultimately lead to the death of the fetus due to hypoxia. This fetal death is the most common in cardiopulmonary…

Cognitive function is a complicated function of human brain. The risk factors of cognitive function are not comprehensive. Cognitive function can be influenced by psychological (Santos et al.,2012 ), nutritional, medical (including medical conditions and prescription and nonprescription medications), social, economic, or behavioral, toxic environmental exposures, and genetic factors(Plassman et al., 2010) . As worldwide population aging, this topic increasingly interests researchers. There are…

Chronic inflammation in the airways limits the amount of airflow to the lungs. It is progressive and relates to abnormal inflammatory response in the lungs that affects gas exchange. “This is caused by loss of elastic recoil and airflow obstruction caused by mucosal hypersecretion, mucosal edema, and bronchospasm”. One of the two Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is chronic bronchitis. It is caused when the bronchi and bronchioles become inflamed by exposure to smoke or environmental…

Overview- Periodontal - it is a non-inflammatory disease of the tissues surrounding and holding the tooth, always hits his entire bocca. The cause is the violation of the blood supply to the tissues, resulting in hypoxia, lack of oxygen at this example. In disease there is inflammation due to hypoxia, but due to the overall changes. Causes- The cause of periodontal disease is plaque. This sticky film is composed mainly of bacteria. Plaque forms on teeth when starches and sugars in food…

All living organisms require water to survive, however, with each passing year toxic materials, oils and debris are plaguing our precious oceans, harming marine wildlife, plants, and humans. As this process continue to get bigger these pollutants will play a huge role in the amount of oxygen expelled, water quality and decrease all food sources that are provided by the ocean, having damaging effects on humans and marine wildlife. We all need to be more aware of the influences that we possess in…

the pulmonary arteries, large thrombi sometimes lodge at the bifurcation of the main pulmonary artery and cause hemodynamic compromise (Ouellette). The signs and symptoms of a pulmonary embolism are: abrupt onset of pleuritic chest pain, SOB, and hypoxia; though most patients with PE show no obvious…

Pulmonary embolism What is pulmonary embolism? Pulmonary embolism is the medical term for a blood clot that travels to the pulmonary artery. The condition usually causes the sudden onset of chest pain and difficulty breathing. It can also cause you to cough up blood. Pulmonary embolism is a leading cause of death in the United states. Due to the importance of this condition, it is critical that patients understand its causes, symptoms, and treatment. By the end of this article, you will have…

Phosphorus is an essential nutrient to all forms of life and is required for building DNA, RNA and amino acids (Paytan, 2011). Phosphorus is often a limiting nutrient in ecosystems, along with nitrogen, and therefore its abundance determines the amount of primary production that can occur within a system (Schindler, 1971). The two main types of phosphorus are inorganic phosphate minerals, such as calcium phosphate rock that is mined for fertilizer, and organic compounds containing phosphorus…
