Pulse

happened to his parents. I live in a small town so there were not many people I knew that I could call. I cried for most of the night since my parents never got up. I watched a YouTube video to see how to check if they were alive it said to check their pulse on their neck. I…

REASON CHIEF COMPLAINT: Heart failure. Coronary artery disease. Atrial flutter. BLANKLINE This patient had an acute MI _____ and underwent three vessel coronary artery bypass grafting at that time. He states he had a cardiac catheterization elsewhere about four years ago and they did not perform any intervention at that time. He has had a transthoracic echocardiography and stress nuclear imaging test that has shown EF of 40%. His last nuclear imaging test showed only mild inferior…

Introduction Brain injuries where something my parents worried about when I was growing because I played numerous physical sports; I didn’t worry about the repercussions of high impact sports or what could have happened. Now as a professional educator I worry about my student’s educational ability due to a brain injury they may acquire or may have been born with. Why is a brain injury so important for educators to recognize? What happens to that child in the classroom after sustaining a brain…

herself, a little whispered word escaped her slightly parted lips. She said it over and over under her breath : “Free, free, free!” The vacant stare and the look of terror that had followed it had went from her eyes. They stayed keen and bright. Her pulses beat fast, and the coursing blood warmed and relaxed every inch of her body.” This “something”, this “it”, which oddly arrives from the sky, exerts a powerful, physical influence on Louise and leaves her with a totally new perspective on…

Non-intrusive archaeological surveying techniques are a fundamental and beneficial process that are often the first step of an archaeological project. The wide variety of non-intrusive techniques can be adapted and used separately or jointly to suit the demands of the site and provide critical data. This data can be used to make research design and narrow down a site to the most promisingly productive areas to excavate to save time and money. Also, once a site is determined can be used to create…

The ABCDE framework (Resuscitation Council 2005) is an acronym that is used for assessment and treatment for critically ill patients. It is a framework that is widely recognised and when used correctly can form the basis for a rapid, yet systematic and therefore thorough initial assessment (Jevon 2010; Page and McKinney 2012). It also assists in determining the seriousness of the condition and helps to prioritise the interventions needed (Page and McKinney 2012; Thim et al. 2012). It is…

Many people believe in God because they believe they have seen a vision of him, or of an angel or a virgin in blue with their own eyes, or he speaks to them inside their heads. This may appear a convincing argument from personal experience but is least convincing to anyone knowledgeable about psychology. Peter Sutcliff, the Yorkshire Ripper, distinctly heard the voice of Jesus, telling him to kill women. Many mass murderers have heard orders from God to commit murder. Individuals in Asylum…

Common bottlenose dolphins produce a wide variety of underwater sounds (Lammers & Oswald, 2015) allowing the detection and discrimination of the position of a sound in three-dimensional space (Mooney et al., 2008). These animals are also known for their vocal learning capabilities, with high ability to imitate other animal’s whistles, including man-made whistles or artificial sounds (Lilly, 1965; Janik & Slater, 1997; Tyack, 1997; Janik, 2000; Miksis et al., 2002). This ability comes from the…

When I first started high school, I enrolled in the STEM program. Being apart of the program meant I had to double up on science, take accelerated classes, and all of my core classes have a focus on science and math. I struggled in high school, with such a large workload, but STEM taught me to persevere and never give up. One of the qualifications needed to graduate with a STEM medal, is that at the end of high school I had to take an Honors Research class. In this class, I completed a year…

For years engineers and scientist have been working to develop an efficient prosthetic. A prosthetic that is cheap, efficient, and mobile is the goal. These limbs can restore a person’s ability to write, walk, or even something as basic has holding a can of soda. One thing that would really enhance the ability of a prosthetic is for it to be able to restore a person’s sense of touch and feeling. Neutrally controlled prosthetic devices can vastly improve quality of life for amputees and paralyzed…
