The disparities in hypertension prevalence in various racial or ethnic groups exist since 1960, being highest in the non-Hispanic African-American adults . Apart from having higher prevalence of hypertension, this group reportedly has poor blood pressure control as compared to non-Hispanic whites , and poor adherence . One of the theories used to explain medication adherence behavior in patients with hypertension is Bandura’s Self-efficacy theory. Self-efficacy is the person’s beliefs regarding…

Hypertension is a consistent increase of systemic arterial blood pressure, which is influenced by cardiac output and peripheral vascular resistance. The equation for cardiac output is stroke volume (liters per heart beat) multiplied by heart rate (beats per minute). Peripheral vascular resistance is the opposition to…

well as possible. Teens are often put through peer pressure from friends. Teen boys and girls even sometimes make bets on whom can have sexual intercourse the most. Not thinking of the dangers such as sexual transmitted diseases or even becoming pregnant. They then go out with other teens and have sexual intercourse and end up pregnant, while boys end up finding out that they’re expecting, and will soon be someone’s father. So through peer pressure and silly little game’s most teens end up…

resistance (diabetes), high alcohol intake, high salt intake (especially in salt-sensitive patients), and sometimes sedentary life style, stress, low potassium and calcium intake can cause hypertension, also, high blood pressure can be caused by variation in the genes controlling blood pressure, so genes and family history play a major role in hypertension.[1][2] On the other hand, secondary hypertension )which accounts for 5% of the conditions) has a definite cause,…

Congestive Heart Failure Heart failure is a progressive and chronic condition that occurs when the heart muscle is weak and unable to pump adequate blood in order to meet the need of the body for blood and oxygen (AHA, 2014). There are two types of Heart failure namely Left sided and right sided heart failure. According to Moore & Roth (2015), left-sided heart failure occurs when the left ventricle failed to pump proficiently. It prevents the body from receiving adequate oxygen-rich blood. The…

are objective measures of physiological function that are used to monitor acute and chronic disease and thus serve as a basic communication tool about patient status.1 Vital signs consist of the measurements of heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, and body temperature. Vital signs are used to monitor patient’s health status and also to monitor their recovery from certain diseases. Numerous physiological and pathological changes may occur with age and alter vital signs.1 Respiratory…

Micropumps can be used for drug delivery with the desired amount of medicines at the appropriate time which improves the therapeutic effect. For example, in some heart diseases, the heart cannot create enough blood pressure. In this case, the micropumps are used to increase and regulate blood pressure in the pulmonary arteries…

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…

Blocking highs Blocking highs are strong high-pressure systems that form further south of Australia than normal and remain almost motionless for a long amount of time. Blocking highs mostly affect southern Australia, they can take place during any time of the year and can last from several days - several weeks. Blocking highs can impact Australia in numerous ways depending on where they occur and how strong they are, they are able to produce hot and cold spells as well as wet conditions and dry…

have been consistent throughout the reaction, leading to an error in the observed rate, and consequently an error in the activation energy. A final potential error could come from the decision not to account for the vapor pressure of the water, or for the change in vapor pressure when the temperature of the water was increased in trial 4, this could have indicated a higher rate of production of O2 than was actually…
