Pulse

The pacemaker helps treat an issue called arrhythmias. Arrhythmias are problems with the beat of your heartrate. There are 4 different types of arrhythmias, premature which is when you get extra beats (the most common type), Supraventricular tachycardia is when your heart beats too fast, ventricular rhythm issues can halt the ventricle from pumping blood into your body (this could result in cardiac arrest), and Bradycardia is when your heart beats too slow meaning not enough blood gets to your…

A single cell cannot grow larger and larger indefinitely because on a cellular level and metabolic level, a cell requires essential provisions, cell-to-cell communication, and transport of molecules/nutrients. The outside of a cell grows slower than the inside of a cell. If a single cell were to continuously grow the outside layer of the cell would not be able to keep up. The larger a cell is, the more difficult it is to transport nutrients and oxygen from outside of the cell into the inside of…

Flashforward The story is centered around a supernatural event called the flashforward that is caused by unforeseen circumstances. Scientists at the CERN particle collider facility in Geneva, Switzerland conduct an experiment in which they hope will detect the Higgs Boson particle. Instead, the scientists "Flashforward" experiencing visions of their lives twenty years in the future then return to discover that they've been unconscious for two minutes. The aftereffect from the flashforward…

Due to the fact that one of the two ways to increase the strength of a muscle contraction is to increase the frequency at which the motor units fire in order to create a summed effect, it is expected that the shorter the time interval between consecutive stimuli, the greater the force of contraction. If there is a greater amount of time between the stimuli, the muscle would be able to relax before the next stimulus is fired. However, as that time decreases, the individual twitches begin to…

neurological dysfunction, cardiac arrest, nausea and vomiting. Nursing considerations: IV continuous cardiac monitor, access for pulmonary toxicity for rales/cracles, decreased breath sounds, dyspnea, fever. Check for neurotoxicity, assess radial pulse, may increase…

through the eye of a needle and of Jesus’ work with the poor as well as countless other themes from the first few chapters of ‘Jesus Before christianity.’ One must be empty to enter into the kingdom of God. As far as answering the question at hand in PULSE (how should we be good?) the implications might be a bit more…

Magnetic resonance imaging, also known as an MRI scan, is a type of scan that uses magnetic fields and radio wave energy to create images of the organs and tissues, such as the brain. It is a scan that is used to detect things such as tumors, infections and injuries. It is often used after an x-ray or CT scan is done to gather more information. This paper will discuss MRI in depth such as how an MRI works, its use in society, the differences between MRI and other scans and the future for MRI.…
