IVC Filters May Have Deadly Complications Inferior vena cava filters, or IVC filters, are implanted in individuals who cannot safely take blood thinners in order to prevent clots from traveling to the lungs. These filters are designed to catch any clots and allow them time to safely dissipate. The FDA has received many reports of complications from retrievable IVC filters. The filters have punctured organs, migrated to other parts of the body, and fractured. As a result, the FDA has issued…

However, at the α1-adrenergic receptor, blood pressure is lowered by reducing the release of phenylephrine and causing vasodilation. When the blood vessels are vasodilated, the peripheral vascular pressure is reduced.1 Coreg is a high tolerated drug but it does have some adverse effects; for example, headaches, dizziness (most common), bradycardia, and weight gain.1,3,4,6 Coreg…

However, Ms. McGinnis does not have a prescription for methadone. On 10/29 worker…

Atherosclerosis is a condition that can be explained by integrating various concepts from Biology, Physics and Sociology.Biology allows us to understand the effects of this disease on the circulatory system. Physics incorporates Poiseuille’s law in order to explain the three key factors in blood circulation which are blood flow, resistance and the flow rate. Lifestyle and Culture are sociological factors that can influence how the disease takes a toll on an individual. Atherosclerosis is a…

1. What does the PR interval on the ECG represent? What is the normal value? The P-R interval is the interval between the beginning of electrical excitation of the atria and the beginning of excitation of the ventricles and its normal value is 0.12- 0.20 seconds. 2. What does the QRS complex on the ECG represent? What is implicit in the information that the QRS complexes on Mr. Ortega’s ECG had a normal configuration? The QRS complex is the most important in the EKG since its represents…

evaporates readily at room temperature or a liquid that has a measurable vapor pressure. Vapor pressure is the equilibrium pressure resulting in the evaporation of a liquid in a closed container.1 It is important to know the vapor pressure of a volatile liquid because the higher the vapor pressure, the faster the liquid evaporates.2 So…
