Commercial fishing has rapidly depleted many of the ocean’s resources. Herring are one species of fish that have been harvested to the brink of extinction in the last century. In the mid-1900s herring were in high demand in the food industry [1]. Millions of pounds of herring were harvested from the ocean in the last century. These massive harvesting totals took its toll on the population over time. Phil Levin, a marine ecologist, recently remarked that throughout the Pacific, “what you see is a…

Lymph capillaries are thin-walled, blind- ending vessels in between cells of body tissue. These collect tissue fluid that has been forced out of blood capillaries and has not returned to them. They are drainage vessels and their walls are made of a single layer overlapping endothelial cells which makes them permeable. Filaments anchor the endothelial cells to surrounding structures so when the tissue swell with fluid the endothelial cells of the lymph capillary wall are slightly pulled apart.…

death in the United States (CDC, 2014). A stroke occurs when either a clot or bursts causes damage to the brain tissue. The damage then hinders the blood vessel that carries oxygen and nutrients to the brain, which can cause some brain cells to die. A stroke may be caused by an artery being blocked, also known as an ischemic stroke, or by a blood vessel bursting and rupturing, known as hemorrhagic stroke. “About eighty-five percent of strokes are ischemic strokes” (CDC, 2014). The most common…

There are two ways that you can collect blood specimen from a patient. The first way is known as a venipuncture which is when a needle punctured a vein. Usually phlebotomist tend to draw from the cephalic and basilic veins in the antecubital area. Ways that you can collect blood from the vein is by using a syringe and using a needle with a vacutainer. The vacutainer is when you have a needle and another needle with rubber. The vacutainer gets hooked up to the area with the rubber needle. This…

PROJECT PLAN 2 Introduction The main objective of the project is to produce the immunosuppressant drug, Cyclosporine from Tolypocladium Inflatum. Patients who undergo solid organ transplantation require an immunosuppressive drug to prevent rejection by decreasing the body's own natural defense to foreign tissues, and Cyclosporin A is one of the most commonly used immunosuppressive drugs in the organ transplantations. Cyclosporin A is a cyclic nonribosomal peptide, consisting of 11 amino acids…

include changes in vision, inability to speak coherently, numbness and weakness in the upper and lower extremities, symptoms of dizziness or loss of consciousness (McCance & Huether, 2010). The causes of TIAs are from platelet clumps or narrowed vessels that result in an intermittent blockage of circulation (McCance & Huether, 2010). TIAs typically last twenty-four hours with all neurologic deficits subsiding with no residual dysfunction. There is no permanent brain injury with TIAs.…

There is so much to learn about the blood, how it transport the essential substances we need such as oxygen, amino acids, nutrients, glucose and vitamins. How its used to keep the body warm, remove waste, and even regulate body fluid for electrolytes.www.kenhub.com) anatomy library. The blood is made up of three major functions. Transport, protect and regulate. The plasma is the fluid that surrounds the blood cells and helps transport carbon dioxide, hormones and metabolic waste products. Red…

Stroke occurs when an individual experiences a reduction or an obstruction of blood flow to the brain. This can take place due to blocked/narrowed arteries (Ischemic Stroke), leaked/open blood vessels (Hemorrhagic Stroke) or temporarily disrupted blood flow to the brain (Transient Ischemic Attack). As a result, the brain’s disrupted supply of oxygen and nutrients causes brain cells to die. Stroke is a very serious and common global health-care problem and is a leading cause of death in many…

Transient Ischemic Stroke (TIA) Introduction: The Father of medicine, Hippocrates, came up with the theory of stroke. About 2,400 years ago he actually called it “Apoplexy,” which means struck down by violence. Therefore, it wasn't until the 1600, when a man name Jacob Wepfer discovered that a apoplexy was caused by an brain injury. A couple years later apoplexy was also know as a stroke or cerebrovascular accident (CVA). Today the main type of stroke is called Transient Ischemic stroke (TIA)…

Hypertension Pathology Atrial fibrillation is a common dysrhythmia characterized by disorganized atrial activity without discrete atrial contractions. Extremely rapid impulses bombard the AV node, causing an irregular ventricular response. The heartbeat in atrial fibrillation can range from 100-175 beats per minute (Mayo Clinic, 2015). Atrial fibrillation may occur suddenly and recur, or it may become chronic. It is common in patients with heart failure (Burke, 2016). Risk factors for atrial…
