Malfunction

Sociological approaches to health and ill-health Concepts of health: Health relates to physical or biological terms. It relates to being the state of complete physical, mental and social well-being. Positive concept of health: The concepts of health are being positive and having a good physical and mental fitness. This is a believed that this is achieved only by continuous effort. Negative concept of health: Negative health is absence of disease; it includes not having any symptoms of disease…

Seizures transpire because of a malfunction in your brain that causes a person to convulse, collapse or have an ephemeral perturbance of mundane brain function that can cause you to have a vicissitude or loss in consciousness. Most seizures can cause a decrease in the blood flow to the brain. Symptoms can include loss of consciousness, unusual sensations, and uncontrollable muscle spasms. Seizures can also come from having a head injury, drug overdose, brain tumor, infection, low blood sugar…

Hemoglobin has a peroxidase-like activity, meaning that it will break down hydrogen peroxide, or other organic hydroperoxides. This makes it useful in forensics, since you can test for the presence of hemoglobin simply by dropping hydrogen peroxide on it. Of course, there are a lot of things that have peroxidases in them, so this is a presumptive test for the presence of blood. Blood cells are not immortal; each cell wears out in about four months, and will disintegrate in the blood stream,…

Hydrocephalus is a nervous system disorder in which cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) builds up in the brain (Mayo Clinic 2014). The causes of this disorder are still not well understood, but it may result from inherited genetic abnormalities, developmental disorders, tumors, and other injuries to the head that may cause a blockage. This blockage prevents the excess CSF that builds up in the brain from exiting, which adds pressure on the brain tissue that can lead to brain damage (NIH, 2012).…

certain that there was some malfunction in the ventilator. A new ventilator was connected and the after it was connected, the pulse ox saturation was within normal limits again. The intensivist, other nurses, and the respiratory therapist all admired my quick…

leaves open positions for the younger generations. When each part of Social Security runs smooth and efficiently, it’s much like a car if all parts work appropriately then your car will run smoothly for miles to come. However, if parts start to malfunction eventually it will fail. Medicare helps provide a stable income and relaxing time for the elderly who have worked hard for their…

Left sided failure is the most common form of heart failure. Left sided failure involves a malfunction on the left ventricle. This malfunction prevents the ventricle to fully pump the blood through the left atrium, therefore causing the blood to pool from the left ventricle into the left atrium, and into the pulmonary veins. This sequence causes the pulmonary pressure…

Have you ever heard about alkaline water? Do you really know what it is? When it comes to alkaline water, you should know this water is slightly basic. It has basic minerals, including magnesium, calcium and bicarbonate. All these compounds will bind to hydrogen ions in solution, making the water more basic. Moreover, this type of water refers to its pH level, which is a number that measures how alkaline a substance is on a scale of 0-14. For example, if something will have a pH level of 1, it…

brain is unknown , but it is known that this protein causes Parkinson’s disease or PD. Parkinson’s disease is a disorder of the nervous system which causes one to not be able to control their normal movements. The way this works is that there is a malfunction and death of neurons in the brain , specifically substantia nigra, which is the movement control center in the brain. These dying neurons produce dopamine and as time goes on the amount dispersed decreases, therefore causing Parkinson’s…

Contrary to systolic dysfunction, diastolic malfunction is characterized by normal contractility and a typical ejection fraction. The relaxation of ventricles in this disorder is impaired, resulting in an increase in ventricular pressure into the left atrium and pulmonary venous system leading to signs of pulmonary and systemic venous congestion. This decrease in preload results in a decrease in blood volume, especially during periods of increased activity or exercise, when blood is unable to…
