placed on continuous electrocardiograph (ECG) and pulse oximetry. In regards to emergency surgery and patients who are on antiplatelet medications such as clopidogrel and aspirin, the American Society of Hematology (2011), recommends pre-operative platelet transfusion. An indwelling urinary catheter was inserted and mannitol 74 g (1g/kg) was given IV push (Meagher & Young, 2015) per physician’s…

To understand the Musculo-Skeletal system and how it is suited to the functions that it performs for the body you first need to understand how the system works and what it is responsible for.

These two systems are the Skeletal System and the Muscular System and they contain the following:-  Bones of the skeleton  Muscles …

after the surgical repair of ACL injuries. Growth factors have been tested for orthopedic treatments such as fracture management, spinal fusion and tendon and ligament healing. Growth factors, such as transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) [10], platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) [11] and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) [12], show the most promising results for healing ACL injuries [13]. Biochemical factors that can be added to tissue-secreted proteins may offer opportunities to…

improving dementia symptoms, and many more. Garlic has a long history (back from the ancient Egyptian era) of being used to tackle flies because of its smell and to reduce blood clot since it has a specific component that increases thrombocyte (platelet) counts.

In the early piece of the most recent century, we figured out how to slaughter attacking pathogens with anti-microbials. An era later, we tried to apply the same way to deal with growth cells. The fantastic way to deal with curing malignancy has been to execute the growth cells, yet things being what they are is hard to manage without blow-back to solid body tissues. So research has concentrated on selectivity. We are looking for methodologies that murder dangerous cells all the more dependably…

you’re twice as likely to have coronary artery disease than those with healthy gums. This is down to bacteria in the mouth getting into the bloodstream. The bacteria then produces protein which can then affect the heart itself. It does so by causing platelets to stick to together in the blood vessels within the heart itself, leading on to dangerous clots. Blood clots then go on to reduce normal flow, so the heart doesn’t get all the nutrients and oxygen it vitally needs. This can eventually lead…
