face every day. There are three main changes that occur in our body when our Dive reflex triggers; Bradycardia, Peripheral vasoconstriction and blood shift. Bradycardia is an abnormal action that is slower than the average-normal heart rate. The normal resting heart rate for children 10 years and older (including adults and seniors) is 60 to 100 beats per…
"Adams-stokes syndrome is a condition of fainting spells caused by heart block, often AV block, and can lead to bradycardia, slow heart rate, and a decrease in cardiac output" (Umassmededu, 2016). Third degree heart block has the most severe symptoms of all witch include dizziness, fatigue, fainting, shortness of breath, and chest pain. Treatment The treatment of heart block can vary depending on the severity and cause of the condition. If heart block in the patient is found to be caused by…

Human body Today I will be talking about how the systems work together. One example is the the skeletal and the muscular system, they work together by Your bones and muscles work together through a series of impulses and signals communicated between the brain and skeletal muscles. In order to move, the nervous system then sends signals a skeletal muscle to contract. The muscular system is the mechanical force behind the digestive system. Beginning when you take a bite, your muscular system aids…
possible across the lifespan, from infants to older adults. Cardiac function seems to be dependent upon the type of seizure occurring. The majority of complex partial, tonic-clonic and temporal lobe seizures are associated with increased heart rate. This increase in heart rate trends in a steep acceleration initially then has marked variations at the time of seizure and postictally. Tachycardia rates that reach a certain threshold may cause low cardiac output and possibly lead to cardiogenic…
management of operative and post operative hemorrhage introduction operative and post operative hemorrhage are a condition of deep bleeding that could face the patient either during surgery (operative) or after (post operative). the causes to this are a lot for example the incision may bleed due to the separation of the stitches , or it could happen internally when some organs get injured during surgery or the blood vessels may need to be secured.the hemorrhage may start shortly after the…

urine. Upon admittance to the hospital, no signs of infection were observed. Laboratory tests ruled out viral hepatitis and autoimmune diseases. “The pathologist identified a drug-induced cholestatic injury without hepato-cellular damage (so-called pure cholestasis) with bile precipitations in hepatocytes and in fat vacuoles of single steatotic hepatocytes” (Kapp et al., 2011, para. 3). No medical treatment was administered and all symptoms disappeared by the time the patient returned for…
Anemia ICD-9 CM is a code assigned for blood loss anemia. Anemia is a condition where there is a reduction in number of circulating red blood cells. The amount of hemoglobin, or the volume of packed red cells causes a decrease in the ability of blood to deliver oxygen to the body tissues and organs. Blood loss anemia can be classified into two categories which are acute and chronic types of blood loss anemia under these two categories we have various minute categories respectively. Acute Blood…
Colapinto and McCallum developed a radiological classification of injuries of the posterior urethra based on RUG (Table 1) (Colapinto and McCallum, 1977): Type 1 Membranous urethra is stretched but not severed. Type 2 Membranous urethra is ruptured above the urogenital diaphragm, with extraperitoneal pelvic leakage above the urogenital diaphragm. Type 3 Membranous urethra is ruptured. The injury extends into the bulbous urethra. Leakage above and below the urogenital diaphragm. Table 3:…
