source provides a background of asthma and how asthma has changed over the years. The authors indicate that since the 1980s. The explosive increase in knowledge of the cell and mediator mechanisms of asthma has only led to modest improvements in therapy including the introduction of leukotriene modifiers and a blocking monoclonal antibody against IgE. Indeed, biologics targeting allergic cytokines and effectors cells that have on the whole proven disappointing despite initial promise being…

Initial symptoms, such as a common cold, can develop a week or two after being exposed to bacteria. Ten to twelve days later after being exposed to the disease, severe occasions of coughing start. In children, the coughing usually finishes with a "whoop" sound. The sound is heard being made when the patient takes a breath. The “whoop” sound is rare in adult patients and patients under six months of age. Choking spells are common in infants. Vomiting or a short loss of consciousness is one of…

twice-daily high-dose PPI therapy for at least six months (Megwalu, 2013). However, in a systematic review of the literature, Megwalu (2013) found that there is insufficient evidence to reliably support the efficacy of PPI therapy for the treatment of LPR. Of the eight randomized placebo-controlled studies identified in the literature review, one investigated low-dose once-daily therapy, two investigated low-dose twice-daily therapy, and five investigated high-dose twice-daily therapy. Although…

Proper citation of the images was used and the photos showing equipment or products in this the presentation does not constitute a product endorsement by the presenter. The conclusion of this presentation was determined solely by the presenter. Write your name on the top of the paper provided and answered the following questions: 1. Do you think that early mobilization of critically ill patients is safe? 2. What are the perceived barriers of early mobilization? 3. Who should be included in the…

A case study of asthma in a 10 year old European child. This case study will cover the normal structure and function of the respiratory system. This case study will also discuss the changes that occur when asthma is triggered, and the routine diagnostic tests/vital signs for asthma. The normal range of the routine tests/vital signs for asthma and three nursing interventions that are required to meet the clients needs in relation to asthma will be explained further. To stay alive we need…

Oxygen As soon as the dog has been rescued from the fire, an airway must be established in order to allow the dog to get sufficient oxygen. Suction and tubing can be used if swelling is minor to administer the oxygen. If swelling in the upper respiratory tract is too severe, an opening may need to be made in the trachea via a tracheostomy to allow the dog to receive oxygen. Oxygen should be administered immediately after the dog is rescued in order to displace the amount of carbon monoxide in…

environment to the cells in the body. Biochemistry defines respiration as the metabolic process by which cells utilize glucose and oxygen to produce Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). Inspiration, which is an active part of respiration, is initiated by the respiratory control center in medulla oblongata. Nerve impulses from medulla oblongata causes diaphragm and the external intercostal muscles to contract, which leads to the expansion of the thoracic cavity. According…

Numerous toxicants have some sought of an affect the human body. These come in a variety of ways, but in the process more often the most affected happens to be the respiratory, immune system, along with the liver. These are primary systems within the body that are vital in order for each of us function and survive. Therefore if by some chance these if any of these systems/organ manage to fail, the likely outcome would be that a person becomes very ill. While technology has come a long way, as…

human body’s cardiovascular and respiratory systems must integrate and adapt to changing conditions—especially during incremental increases in submaximal exercise to maximal exercise. The coordination of cardiovascular and respiratory systems coalesce to form what is known as the cardiorespiratory system (Lotric & Stefanovska, 2000). Within muscle cells there are extremely limited stores for anaerobic energy; thus, a well-coordinated cardiovascular and respiratory system must be maintained to…
