Leonard Bernstein was born on August 25th, 1918 in Lawrence, Massachusetts. At age 10 is when he first found himself playing music. His aunt had recently got a divorce, and stored her upright piano in Leonard’s home. Leonard was adamant about learning the instrument, but his father refused him lessons. He decided that he’d save up the money himself. He earned enough and took a few lessons and was a natural at the piano. He met his lifelong coach Helen Coates while in high school. He attended…

The half-dead man was lying on the stretcher. With the help of constables and people around, he was brought down the building. People had crammed the place, every inch of the stairs was taken up by the neighbors. Even at midnight it seemed that a night out was planned by all at the same time. Lying helplessly on the stretcher, he moved his hands over his body. He knew something was wrong since he never felt anything like that. The pain was getting unbearable with every passing moment. With…

They are turning to emergency rooms for treatment because most doctor’s offices will not see them it they are uninsured or can’t pay upfront for treatment. Most emergency room lobbies are filled with non-urgent matters, but the emergency room most be staffed with a medical staff to treat them. Physicians and nurses are a vital part of the emergency room but there are other non-glamorous positions that also need to be…

During my clinical rotation at Palmetto Richland on the Acute Care for the Elderly unit there were several patients on contact precautions due primarily to Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) or high counts of gram-positive Escherichia coli bacterium (E. coli) in the urine and blood. A good example of best practice that I witnessed was the proper display and implementation of contact precautions around patients with multidrug-resistant organisms and bacteria (MDROs). If a patient…

results were; supine 116/75 mmHg, sitting 118/76 mmHg, and standing 120/72 mmHg. When comparing the results to the class, subject’s systolic blood pressure was lower and diastolic was higher than the class average in the supine position. The subjects pulse pressure PP was 40, lower than the class of 46 and female average of 45 while, MAP was 93, higher than the class average of 89 but lower than the female average of 95. When subjects were standing blood pressure increased from when they were…

provide a motivation for the work of conditioning (Aggleton, 2000). The electrical activity of the amygdala is characterized by parameters of different amplitudes and frequencies. Their “sleep” mode of working may correlate with the rhythm of breath, pulse rate, etc. Nevertheless, the amygdales are on when people actually see food, sexual partners, opponents, crying babies and many other external stimuli. This is happen because the amygdala reacts to visual, auditory, interoceptive, olfactory…

Q10. There are five different stages of sleep that a person goes through when they are sleeping. These stages are differentiated by the theta activity (slow wave sleep) that takes place in each stage. The first stage that takes place involved theta activity which means the firing of neurons in the neocortex has begun. During this level of sleep there is an EGG level of 3.5-7.5 HZ. The EEG level is the electrical activity that takes place within the brain, it is recorded through electrodes that…

IV drugs, I checked his pulse but could not palpate anything. Using my critical thinking, I think the patient is going through shock and I started CPR immediately and buzz to call for code blue team. I pumped so hard and I was very exhausted that time doing continuous CPR. When the team arrived, the doctor asked me the latest obs I felt confident because I checked the patient. We tried everything to revive the patient. Luckily, yes! After 10 minutes the patient has pulse again. I felt very happy…

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, a look into a case study Polycystic ovarian syndrome (aka PCOS) is a disorder that is expected in patients with irregular menses, acne, seborrhea, hirsutism, infertility, and alopecia. PCOS has recently been associated with the metabolic syndrome. Patients may develop obesity, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, liver disease, and sleep apnea. Clinical diagnosis would include hematological and radiological tests. Management would be a combined effort…

that victimized them. The people that bullied them attended this school which made it the perfect place for retaliation. In the case of the Orlando shooting, the aggressor picked a night club in which his secret lover was known to attend frequently. Pulse nightclub was for homosexual individuals which links back to the issue of hate crime. The combination of anger toward the former lover and the hate for homosexuals made this place a perfect target for the shooter. Since suicides are primarily…
