elsewhere about four years ago and they did not perform any intervention at that time. He has had a transthoracic echocardiography and stress nuclear imaging test that has shown EF of 40%. His last nuclear imaging test showed only mild inferior ischemia and fixed LAD infarct 01/04/2017. The patient was admitted to Granville Hospital 01/11/2017 with heart failure and at that time the EF was stated to be 25-30%. He has been in intermittent atrial flutter for some time. The chart says that…

The use of Embryonic Stem Cell Research (ESCR) for the treatment of disease is fraught with ethical issues. As embryos are destroyed in the name of said research, many people view the use of embryonic stem cells as the destruction of human life; religious groups such as Buddhists, Hindus and Catholics were questioned via face to face interviews, the data gathered from these interviews showed three major concerns, namely: the sanctity of human life, do no harm, and, what research the stem cells…

Along with claw regrowth, wound dehiscence, paralysis, distal limb ischemia, wound infections, and other complications. Declawing can also impair behavior. (Leaders) Declawed cats will not be able to defend themselves, climb trees, or are at risk of any outdoor situation.(McKeown, et al., 1988, Morgan,1989) They will…

Colapinto and McCallum developed a radiological classification of injuries of the posterior urethra based on RUG (Table 1) (Colapinto and McCallum, 1977): Type 1 Membranous urethra is stretched but not severed. Type 2 Membranous urethra is ruptured above the urogenital diaphragm, with extraperitoneal pelvic leakage above the urogenital diaphragm. Type 3 Membranous urethra is ruptured. The injury extends into the bulbous urethra. Leakage above and below the urogenital diaphragm. Table 3:…

the body. One of the things that medical professionals do not see that much of however, is compartment syndrome. When one of these compartments become injured, it causes a great amount of increased pressure inside the compartment and it can cause ischemia of the muscle and loss of a limb.
