Health Effects of Oxytocin Properties of Oxytocin Oxytocin is a peptide hormone made up of nine amino acids. Oxytocin is produced by pituitary gland in the brain to carry out different physiological and psychological functions in the body like child birth, breastfeeding, mother infant bonding and social behavior. Oxytocin is also referred as love hormone, cuddle hormone or bonding hormone because it develops feelings of affection, trust, and attachment among people. It reduces the negativities…

performed for bilateral lower limbs which revealed mild atherosclerosis of the arteries without narrowing or blockage, no aneurysms in the popliteal arteries and confirmed the presence of a right DPA aneurysm with a small mural thrombus. Right foot toes pressure measurement showed normal readings (Fig.2). Surgical exploration was carried out under ankle block. A longitudinal skin incision was made directly over the aneurysm. Sharp dissection through fascia revealed a 3 cm DPA saccular aneurysm…

Watching a video will be helpful for visual and auditory leaners. The questions associated with this station will deal primarily with blood pressure, volume, and what the issues are that could arise if these elements are not at homeostasis. The final cardiovascular station will be a recording of auscultations for students to listen to. There will also be a stethoscope available for the students…

The Impact of Technology on the Art of Nursing Care Renetria Drake NURS 2412 Abstract There have been rapid changes in healthcare over the last few years. With Legislation like the Affordable Healthcare Act and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability of 1996 (HIPPA), healthcare and technology collide to drastically change how nursing care is delivered. Several emerging technologies that directly affect nursing care: diagnostic s and treatments,…

Cardiovascular response to acute exercise When you exercise your body goes through chemical and physical changes to accommodate your sport, some of the changes are vasodilation, raise in heart rate and blood pressure change. When you first start exercise your heart rate will rise preparing the body for exercise. This is because the muscles will need more oxygen to work at their optimum level. The typical resting heart rate is from 60 – 80 beats per minute therefore the pre exercise heart rate…

Table 1 reveals the varying resting blood pressures of volunteers 1 and 2 when using a stethoscope and how volunteer 1’s blood pressure varies when using a cardiomicrophone. This is a significant difference between volunteers 1 and 2 and a small difference when using a stethoscope versus cardiomicrophone. Table 2 reveals how blood pressure is affected when the arm is positioned differently; blood pressure is highest when relaxed and fully extended and lowest when arm is held above subject’s…

Materials and Methods: To be more specific, the following procedure was performed. For the palpation of superficial pulse points, a pulse is easily felt when a superficial artery is pressed against firm tissue such as two pointer fingers. It is not advised to use a thumb, as it has its own strong pulse. The common carotid artery is the first pulse felt. It is on the left side of your neck under your throat near the Adam’s apple and/or upper trachea (for females). Another artery that is felt is…

experiment was to show how the cardiovascular system is affected by reclining or standing position and light exercise. The average reclining systolic pressure is 116.2 mmHg, and the average standing systolic pressure is 115.9 mmHg. The standard deviation for reclining systolic pressure was 8.2, and the standard deviation for standing systolic pressure is 12.3. The average reclining heart rate is 69.1 beats per minute, and the average standing heart rate is 82.9 beats per minute. The standard…

presence of fatigue or hyperactivity, gait, an presence/absence of apprehension · Neurological status: level of consciousness, signs of menigeal irritation · Vital signs: temperature, respiration (rate, rhythm, character), pulse (rate, rhythm, quality), and blood pressure. · Skin: color, temperature, presence/absence of eruptions, cyanosis, erythema, icterus, petechiae, cysts, trauma, and scars · Developmental status · Disease status: breath sounds, presence/absence of congestion…

vital signs, which included taking blood pressure manually. This was a skill that I was not entirely confident in, but I knew it was crucial and something I needed to do; it was essential to put my patient first. I felt for my resident’s brachial pulse, placed the cuff on his upper arm, put the diaphragm of my stethoscope where I felt the pulse, and began squeezing the pump. When I had finished taking his blood pressure, it was very low. I took the blood pressure again, and the second time was…
