Venous Disorders Definition Venous disorders are the group of pathologies that refers to abnormal functioning of the venous system. Venous disorders fall into two general classifications: 1. Blockage as a result of a blood clot called thrombosis 2. Insufficient venous drainage known as insufficiency Thrombosis includes:  Superficial Thrombophlebitis  Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) Insufficiency comprises of:  Varicose Veins  Spider veins  Chronic Venous Insufficiency Pathophysiology…

Fluoride, consumed in its varying forms, undergoes hydrolysis in the stomach which frees fluorine anions (F-), completely releasing them from their parent compound (Turney, et al., 2011). The fluorine anion is referred to as fluoride, the molecule of focus in this toxicological report. Fluoride readily crosses cell membranes by means of a pH gradient in which its negative charge becomes attracted to the free hydrogen cations found in acidic environments. This gradient and binding of fluoride…

In this case based review the author will present the cardiac imaging technique that used to assess myocardial viability of a 59 year old male who was admitted with a chest pain. Patient experiencing ischemia may have symptoms of nausea, angina, or pain in the chest. As major risk factors of ischemia include CAD, coronary artery anomalies or Cardiomyopathy, the patient had an angiogram scan which showed a complex multi-vessel disease of the coronary arteries (Koulaouzidis, 2013). CMR was…

Problem: For this procedure we tested are heart rate to see how it changed depending on what level activity we did. Heart rate is when the heart contracts because it is pumping the oxygenated blood through the aorta. Then the blood goes through your heart through the vena cava. Once you start moving the blood go through the capillaries to your lungs, legs, head and arms the blood flows through the inferior and superior capillaries. The part of the heart blood that that keeps the blood from…

observing heart rate and blood pressure. Ten people were tested in all. The idea is that the older subjects would have more of an effect…

important job for the body because it helps cope with extreme physical stress, an injury, or during birth. It also helps the body regulate the metabolism and maintain blood pressure. Another hormone that sometimes the adrenals do not make is aldosterone. This hormone helps the body retain salt needs and keeps your blood pressure steady. When aldosterone levels drops, the kidneys cannot keep the salt and water levels in balance. Because of this,…

functions of the body by a reduced amount of blood flow circulated throughout the body, also known as shock, which attributed to the extremely low blood pressure. Upon examination of the blood, urine, and cerebrospinal fluid the laboratory results revealed a prominent trace of the bacteria known as Staphylococcal aureus (Bauman 2015). This gram-positive bacteria is part of the normal human flora, meaning this bacterium does not usually cause infection; this type of bacteria can be found in…

Lupus Nephritis We identified three studies that analyzed the prevalence and correlates of lupus nephritis (LN) in a total of 428 patients [46-48] (Table 1). The follow-up period varied from less than 1 year up to 10 years. End-stage renal disease requiring dialysis (ESRD) was the most common complication reported (Table 1). Kidney biopsy was the most frequent method applied for diagnosis [46, 48]. However, some studies also analyzed clinical, serological, and immunological data [46] or employed…

To reduce further renal dysfunction in patient BB, the physician should implement the following recommendations of evidence-based guidelines. Intravenous albumin (1.5 g/kg within 6 hours of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) diagnosis and 1 g/kg on day 3) should be given along with intravenous antibiotics. Multiple studies have shown IV albumin effective in decreasing the incidence of renal dysfunction from 33% to 10% and mortality from 29% to 10% and is especially beneficial for patients…

maintaining a normal blood pressure, and the upset of any of these mechanisms may play a role in the development of essential hypertension (Beevers, Lip, & O’Brien, 2001). The focus of this paper will be on the pathophysiology of essential hypertension and the treatment for it. In 2000 it was estimated that about 25 percent of people worldwide had hypertension and this number…
