Reflex

You don’t Say? I don’t know about you but I felt so stupid when I had my first baby. I had read tons of books, well not tons, but a lot and I thought I was well read on everything I needed to know about being pregnant and newborns but I was in for a big surprise. So many things happened that scared me so bad that I wish someone had told me ahead of time. So for all you knew or expectant mothers I want to share some information that probably no one else has shared with you and probably won’t…

Years ago, an administrator told me to open the crash cart even though cardiopulmonary resuscitation was not preformed, because a charge could be sent to the insurance company if the lock on the crash cart was broken; needless to say, I left the company shortly after that event. Early in my career, I learned that patient care and billing for such care was a priority to administrators. I commonly refer to such people as “carpet people”. I think that they must have has some interaction with taking…

However, the strength is caused by the excessive extensor tone. As Ryan bears weight on his legs, the tone becomes very more severe. The reflex is predominately present and takes over when he is placed in standing. His pelvis is most likely to be unstable and his legs are likely to be internally rotated and adducted. The infant walker places Ryan in a non-preferred position similarly to…

The purpose of this study was to further understand the cardiovascular system under normal conditions, stress and postural changes. To help illustrate the effects of the cardiovascular systems components the dive reflex and venous system were also tested. In the tilt table test, the response of effect of gravity and sympathetic activation of the heart were being examined to determine the response of BP, MAP, PP, HR, SV, CO and TPR during Effects of Posture on Blood Pressure (BP). It was…

5.Explain the stages of anesthesia. There are four stages of anesthesia. Stage I is called the analgesia stage. In this stage a person feels pain but does not care. Pain progressively diminishes. The patient remains awake and conscious. They can see and hear. Analgesia stage has three planes. The first two planes are relative analgesia. These two planes are appropriate for dental hygiene care. In this stage the reflexes and respiration remain normal. Best administered for short procedures.…

Cortical blindness is one of the rare neurological condition characterized by binocular vision loss due to insult in the occipital cortex. Pupillary light reflex are preserved as anterior visual pathway is intact. One of the rare complication of cortical blindness is Anton Babinski Syndrome. This syndrome results from damage to visual association cortex (brodmann area 18, 19) along with primary visual cortex (brodmann area 17) [1, 2]. Discussion Anton Babinski syndrome is a condition in…

While providing care for Sari a number of clinical management issues arise. Firstly, Sari’s pregnancy was conceived through intrauterine insemination (IUI), risks associated with artificial reproductive technologies were likely reviewed with Sari and Jane prior to intervention . It is important that the midwife be aware of potential risks associated with this method of conception and able to review these with Sari and Jane if they have questions. IUI can include increased risks of preterm birth,…

Five-day-old male accompanied by his mother and his father. Parents are the primary historians and they are deemed reliable. Chief Complaint: First check up after discharge from the hospital. History of Present Illness: This is a 5-day-old male presenting to the office for first checkup following discharge from the hospital 3 days ago. Parents report that baby is breastfed every 2-3 hours. Mom reports that baby is latching with no difficulties, feeding last about 20 to 45 minutes. During the…

The patient presents an intracranial lesion to the anterior frontal lobe. This will result in damage of the prefrontal cortex causing apraxia and mild rigidity. The prefrontal cortex contains Brodmann’s Areas 9, 10, and 11. Damage to Area 9 is “frontal syndrome” which means the patient rarely follows a plan to completion. Area 10 is involved in judgement, anticipation of consequences, and social intelligence. Area 11 is on the ventral surface of the frontal lobe and incorporates emotions,…

incidents, particularly the reasons for the survival of some victims under seemingly fatal conditions. Research suggests that both hypothermia and a “mammalian diving reflex” (MDR) may account for survival in many near-drowning episodes 3. However, the extent to which these two processes interact is not Hypothermia and Diving Reflex 2 Page header contains abbreviated title and the page number. Headings, centered, help readers follow the organization. The abstract indicates the writer’s purpose…
