encoding gene. PTEN gene is located on the long arm of chromosome 10 at the position 23.3. PTEN was first discovered in 1997, and it is a tumour suppressor gene (Li & Sun 1997, Li et al. 1997, Steck et al. 1997) it helps to regulate cell division. They function as a lipid phosphates to regulate signal transduction pathways, such as the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3k), protein kinase B (AKT) . The activity of its lipid phosphate can dephosphorylate the D3 from PIP3. PIP3 is a lipid product of…

Amyloidosis is an incurable fatal disease where abnormal proteins called amyloid fibrils are misfolded and then deposited in the tissues and organs of the body. It is a serious condition that can affect one organ or tissue or multiple organs at the same time. This study was performed to analyze and describe the latest clinical trials, research, diagnosis procedures, treatment plans, and drugs available for the treatment of amyloidosis AL (primary), AA (secondary), ATTR (hereditary and senile),…

and apixaban are all indicated for the prevention of recurrent stroke in patients with nonvalvular AFIB, paroxysmal or permanent. Choose drug based on risk factors, patient preference cost, the potential for drug interactions, tolerability, renal function. Rivaroxaban is acceptable for the prevention of stroke reoccurrence in patients with nonvalvular AFIB. Use anticoagulant /antiplatelet combination only in patients with clinically apparent CAD, especially an ACS or stent placement. Give…

hypoxaemia, hypercapnia, and respiratory acidosis. When these occur it can develop into respiratory failure. Once respiratory failure has started it causes pulmonary vasoconstriction that increases the load to the right ventricle. Once this has happen with renal changes it goes into peripheral oedema (fluid overload) (MacNee,…

1. What clinical findings support a diagnosis of ARDS? There are a number of findings supporting a diagnosis of ARDS. Through physical examination, labs, and diagnostics including the patient's inability to breathe on her own, alteration in perfusion, and end-organ dysfunction (Urden, Stacy, & Lough, 2014, p. 522). There are multiple findings supporting a diagnosing of progressing ARDS to include the patient’s condition has worsened. The patient is sinus tachy with a heart rate of 120 BPM and…

End Stage Renal Disease is when the kidneys stop working and the patient must endure grueling dialysis treatments and put on the transplant list, where they wait for a very long time for a cadaver kidney donation (MacKay ##). With only these options, some…

penicillin and bacteria, as some forms bind better than others. The amount of time penicillin is in the bloodstream will depend on the age of the patient, and the half-life can range from 1.4-6.7 hours (Pacifici, Gian M. 2010), and it is eliminated by the renal system. The discrepancy of the…
