Ischaemic heart disease

When the body is at rest, the heart beats at a normal pace. As kinetic energy is applied to the body, it is put into work which can make the heart rate increase a bit. Speed requires kinetic energy in order for it to be done. Depending on how fast the speed being applied to the body, the harder the body will work affecting the cardiovascular and respiratory systems. Elements like force, friction and mass also play a huge role in this experiment. The scientific definition of speed is how fast an…

The transplant process begins by first determining whether the person that has fallen ill is medically eligible for a transplant, and if so, they are then referred to a transplant center. A transplant donor must be found that matches the person in need. There are two sources for donor organs. Organs that are removed and used from the dead are considered cadaveric organs. A person is usually allowed to become a cadaveric donor by indicating it on their DMV license or in a health care directive.…

mountain of blankets. He was extremely debilitated to the point that he had to be held up by three nurses just, so he could throw up in an emesis bag. I would later glean from nurses whispering in the hallway that he had Malaria. Considering the disease was rather novel to me, a five-year-old, I queried my grandmother who briefly described it as “a mosquito borne aliment.” Even though ill-appearing, he had the physique of a professional bodybuilder; the gentleman was at least 6’2 and must have…

Increased intracranial pressure is an event that is caused by multiple neurologic conditions. Most of time, it usually occurs due to head injury, brain tumor, hemorrhage, and toxic or viral encephalopathies. Increased ICP takes place suddenly, and progresses very fast. As the pressure increase, our body tries to fix the problem by compressing the veins and displacing the cerebral spinal fluid. As the pressure keeps increasing, blood flow to the brain gets affected. There is decrease is oxygen…

muscles in your arteries and in your heart. Calcium helps muscles contract, so by blocking this it helps the muscles of your arteries relax allowing them to open up more. Having more space reduces resistance of blood flow making it easier for the blood to flow. It also relaxes the arteries that go to your heart reducing resistance, increasing the blood flow to your heart. Having less resistance then reduces your blood pressure which decreases your risk for having a heart attack or other…

twitch muscles, skeletal muscles, striated muscles, smooth muscles, and more. Every muscle serves a purpose, and each is vital to a person’s well-being. Muscles work for more than just movement. One of the most important organs in the body, the heart, is made up of contracting and retracting muscles that pump oxygen-rich blood throughout the body. The mandible has many strong muscles attached to it that are used…

pressure-like it resolved without intervention and then reoccurred again at 3 AM in the morning of presentation to the hospital. His chest pain had resolved prior to arriving in the ED. His medical history is significant for atrial fibrillation, congestive heart failure, hypertension and he has age related macular degeneration. It is to be noted that his hemoglobin is 8.5 and 26.4. On admission he does have a BUN of 29. Cardiac enzymes are negative. He is known to be in atrial…

A system that connects to the organism is the mall. The mall also has 5 parts that makes it up, just like the human body. The subparts of a mall are product, shelf, aisle, store, and those all make up the mall. The first subset of the human body are cells, and the first part to a mall are the products. Cells are similar to the products because they are both the smallest part to the whole, but they are necessary for the whole system to work. Cells in the human body are similar to the products in…

Critical limb ischemia (CLI) is serious form of peripheral arterial disease (PAD). The incidence of CLI increase with age and atherosclerotic risk factors such as, diabetes, cigarette smoking, obesity or hypertension .The prevalence of CLI is approximately 12% in the adult population especially men compared to women (Davies 2012).The clinical presentation of this disease range from intermittent claudication , rest pain, ischemic ulcers, or gangrene. CLI could lead to severe disability such…

in remission since 1978, gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD), and hypothyroidism. GERD was well-controlled by Prilosec, patient was taking Synthroid for hypothyroidism.
