A 36-year-old female presents to her physician with a 3-month history of joint pains. The pain is mostly in the joints of her wrists and hands up to the middle interphalangeal joints. The patient says that the pain is worse in the morning, but improves through the day as she uses her hands. On examination, the joints are red, swollen, and tender. Anticyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies are positive. The patient is started on low-dose methotrexate with good results. The patient is followed by…

In general, pediatric epilepsy consists of transient cardiac events. Adult seizures, particularly those with underlying cardiovascular conditions, pose risk to the cardiovascular system, including cardiac ischemia. Respiratory changes are possible across the lifespan, from infants to older adults. Cardiac function seems to be dependent upon the type of seizure occurring. The majority of complex partial, tonic-clonic and temporal lobe seizures are associated with increased heart rate. This…

The disease of the skeletal system I chose was plasmacytoma (with some mentions of myeloma). My article includes a case study with a 44yr old male named Mr.J. He had a complaint of lower back pain during his four-week follow-up. He is a very active and healthy male based on his diet and exercise. During the physical examination, he showed no signs of distress. Mr.J did have tenderness in the lumbar region, but no lesions were noted here. Everything else about him appeared normal with normal…

Running head: TRANSFUSION 1 TRANSFUSION 2 Transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) is an under-reported, life-threatening complication of blood component transfusion due to the misinterpretation of symptoms, unfamiliarity of causes, and delay of standardizing methods of prevention. According to Mazzei, Popovsky, & Kopko (2008, 734), TRALI is characterized by symptoms indistinguishable from acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and…

When bones and muscles connect a joint is formed. At this point both are joined together by the help of tendons, which is a connective tissue. When we have to move a joint the muscle receives an electrical signal from brain. It causes movement to occur, because this causes the contraction in it. This contraction pulls on the corresponding bone at its insertion point. Stationary bone is called the point of origin for the skeletal muscle, while the one which moves is known as the point of…

advantages of an autologous stem cell transplant on Charlie’s bone marrow and immune system? - A majority of stem cells are in the bone marrow and some circulate to the blood system. The stem cells produce red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. When Charlie was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (NHL), his stems cells no longer made normal blood cells. Autologous stem cell transplant can be used after high doses of chemotherapy. Chemotherapy kills the cancer cells and also…

In this study, we use the modified organo nanoclay as a new sorbent for separation and preconcentration trace amounts of Au(III) in aqueous solutions. Nanoclay was modified with 5-(4'-dimethylamino benzyliden)-rhodanine. Modified nanoclay was used as a solid sorbent for separation and preconcentration trace amounts of Au(III) ions. The sorption of gold ions was quantitative in pH range of 2.0 to 6.0, whereas quantitative desorption occurs instantaneously with 6.0 mL of 1.0 mol L-1 Na2S2O3. The…

this effect is what decreases swelling and redness (paragraph 12). According to the author’s research, aspirin’s antithrombotic qualities is what prevents and/or treats heart attacks and strokes by “inhibiting the clotting blood ability of blood platelets.” (paragraph…

The Chemistry of Love Love is an intense feeling of deep affection towards a person, place, or thing. Oftentimes human beings refer to their hearts as the source of their emotions and deep affections, but that is not true. The heart is simply a hollow muscular organ that pumps blood throughout the body. In fact, a human’s central nervous system in the brain is the cause of any and all affections. The misconception that the heart is the cause of human emotions evolved after the thirteenth and…
