Response rate

dopamine drip was titrated to 9 mcg/kg/min in 500 ml D5W to maintain a systolic pressure of 90 mm Hg. Dopamine is an organic chemical that occurs naturally in the body to keep the heart pumping. Dopamine (Intropin) can be used to treat low heart rate during shock (“Dopamine Injection: Uses, Dosage & Side Effects - Drugs.com,” 2015). Furosemide (Lasix). The physician prescribed furosemide (Lasix) 80 mg, administer IV injection over 1 to 2 min to decrease fluid in the lungs. Furosemide is a…

Section 1: What I know, What I want to Know Prior to my research, I knew that anxiety had to be more than just a side effect of thinking too much or it “all being in your head”. From personal experience, I knew that anxiety was something that was not easy to deal with, and that there had to be other people out there who have similar symptoms as I do. Also, I knew that anxiety triggers something in an individual’s brain that lead to self-defense because I had taken a health science class my…

Acute stress (like a car accident) causes your heart rate to speed up because of the stress hormones and adrenaline being released into the blood stream. Once the acute stressor has passed everything in the body returns to normal. Chronic stress is defined above as long-term stress in the side text. Therefore, in chronic stress, your body is constantly in a state of fight or flight response, the heart beats fast, and adrenaline is constantly being released. Having chronic…

Over the generations, ancestors evolved different allele frequencies due to recurring natural selection. In fact, natural selection and mutation were considered the main hypotheses for the sickle gene cell. However, those hypotheses limit in explaining the entirety for the frequency of the HbS allele in human populations around the globe. The complex relationship between the HbS allele frequencies and the level of malaria prevalence support the malaria hypothesis at a global scale and further…

homeostasis, which is the term used to describe a constant internal environment, as well as affecting other body systems such as the cardiovascular and respiratory systems. This is seen through a stressed person having increased blood pressure, or breathing rates higher or lower than normal. (The Effects of Stress on the Body…

homeless people have extremely high mortality rate. According to Plumb, “In Philadelphia homeless people who had an age-adjusted mortality rate 3.5 times higher than the general population and in New York city had a rate of 2 to 3 times higher.”. “Among homeless men, using injectable drugs beforehand, incarceration and chronic homelessness is what adds up to death”. In addition, a study showed mortality rates among men using shelters in Toronto showed that the rates were higher than those…

from $800 to $950, the yield to maturity rate drops by 19.7% (from 25% to 5.3%). Similarly, when the bond price increases and becomes equal to face value ($1000) giving the yield rate to be 0%, it normally happens…

Lab2.1 I. Throughout the day, list situations or events that initiate the stress responses. A. Source of stress- People I work with. B. Time and place- In the afternoons during lunch time in the break rooms with other workers. C. Level of perceived stress-2 moderate D. Thoughts and feelings about the stressor- The stressor of being in an environment that you do not always want to be in is something you have to be aware off. When on my quick and short breaks at work some times it’s easy to feel…

Chemical kinetics are governed by the mathematics of systems of differential equations (Thermodynamics and Kinetics). This means that the rate of any chemical reaction is determined by the type, and amount, of reactants present. Note the rate of a reaction is how fast it occurs. Furthermore, such rate equations can either be distinctively linear or non-linear when graphed. Non-linear equations are supposedly more complex as they generally react to small changes within its parameters…

In order to measure the heart rate (HR), data was collected using the LoggerPro computer program. Following the setup, the participants were asked to attach three fresh electrode tabs to both their arms. One patch was placed on the inside of the right wrist, another on the inside of…
