Sepsis: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment Sepsis is known as the medical complication that is due to the acute immune response of the body against the infection. The biochemicals that are spread in the blood stream to remove the infection causes swelling in the body. This inflammation becomes the root cause for organ damage and even the blood clotting during sepsis results in obstructed blood flow to limbs and internal organs that block the flow of nutrients and oxygen. In severe conditions,…

other mechanisms by which resveratrol may provide cardioprotective effects at various plasma concentrations reviewed .These include mechanisms of increasing endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) expression in endothelial cells, suppression of platelet activity, activation of adenosine receptors, and…

hyponatremia (low levels of sodium). There are also some life-threatening adverse reactions such as; ototoxicity (damage to hearing or balance functions of the ear), nephrotoxicity (poisonous effects on the kidney), thrombocytopenia (deficiency of platelets in the blood), agramulocytosis (deficiency of granulocytes in the blood, increasing vulnerability to infection), neuromuscular blockade (paralysis of the affected skeletal muscles), and liver damage. Understanding each side effect is…

Myocardial Ischemia Introduction A 55-year old, male truck driver, presents with crushing central chest pain which has radiated to his neck and occurred on rest. On arrival, the patient was pale and clammy, demonstrated shortness of breath. his pulse rate was 120 beats per minute, blood pressure 150/70 and his oxygen saturation level was 96%. The patient presented with chest pain due to myocardial ischaemia. Myocardial ischaemia is a disease caused by a coronary artery obstruction which reduces…

following are the main causes of ischemic stroke: • Thrombosis: An obstruction of a blood vessel leading to localized occlusion. A common cause is atherosclerosis, which can lead to narrowing of the diseased blood vessel. Blood flow may be restricted as platelets adhere to atherosclerotic plaque forming a clot. • Embolism: A clot or other material that forms within the vascular system, travels from that site, and causes blockage and ischemia in distal vessels. This occurs more commonly in the…

large round balls a fair way away. After around 10 minutes of trying to find his way to the blood vessels he found himself becoming surrounded in 100s of 1000s of miniscule blood platelets, at this point Cody became very scared, he was lucky enough to be able to find a gap and escape the rapidly duplicating blood platelets that were rapidly blocking the entry of many other cells trying to find their way into the cut. After a very quick few seconds of feeling safe, Coby was stopped in his tracks…

compact bone, which is durable to protect the spongy bone and bone marrow. The spongy bone contains trabeculae, which bone marrow fills up the open spaces in between. The bone marrow’s function is to produce red and white blood cells along with platelets. Moreover, bones have five different shapes that vary in every part of the human skeleton, which are, long short, flat, irregular and…

leukemia (AML) is a cancer of the bone marrow and blood cells. This can cause rapid production of irregular myeloblasts (immature white blood cells) and sometimes the stem cell of myeloblasts (myeloids) which can become peculiar red blood cells or platelets.…

Written Summary of Self-propelled particles that transport cargo through flowing blood and halt hemorrhage In the summer of 2005 my uncle punctured his femoral artery while on a biking trip. He was biking around a corner at a high speed and crashed over a fallen tree on the road. He landed on a piece of broken glass which cut through his thigh and perforated his femoral artery. Although bystanders wrapped his leg in gauze he bled out on the scene waiting for an ambulance to arrive. This…

8. Thermoregulation is the process in which your body regulates hypothalamus to sense normal body temperature. 9. Hypothalamus is what sensors the body temperature. 10a. The two mechanisms the body uses to cool itself are the blood vessels in the skin dilate to radiate heat and the sweat glands increase sweat production. 10b.The two mechanisms the body uses to heat itself are the blood vessels in the skin constrict, reducing heat loss and the muscles begin to shiver, generating heat. 11a.…
