Rupture of membranes

Baby A.J. was born 10/22/15 03:19 at 33.0 weeks age via vaginal delivery. A.J. was admitted to NICU 10/22/15 at 4:00 secondary to respiration problems including grunting and bradycardic events. The Baby’s Apgars were 8 and 9. His birth weight was 2.090 Kg. Information regarding the baby’s mother, she had a cerclage placed at 14 weeks which is a cervical stitch. This was placed as a treatment for her cervix which started to shorten and open too early in her pregnancy. She had been in the hospital 4 weeks prior to delivery on bed rest and monitoring. Her rupture of membranes is as follows, PPROM, ROM 9/24 Mag on 9/25, BMZ 9/24-9/25. ABX 9/2. Mom is a G3P2L3. Mother is 39 years old at time of delivery. During my time in the NICU A.J. was at a current gestational age of 35.5 weeks The baby was preterm as was his older sister born 2 years prior. Both pregnancy’s the mother had to have Cerclage placed do to the shortening of her cervix too early. The mother did have multiple risk factors that were pointing to…

Beetroot tissues will be the model investigated in this lab. Specifically the effects of temperature stress on the beetroots cellular membrane. Beetroot is known as Beta Vulgaris, it is one of the healthiest vegetables one can eat with plenty of minerals and vitamins. One of the main vitamins in beetroot is betaine which serve as organic osmolytes that are synthesized or taken from the surroundings by the cells to protect against osmotic stress, high temperature or, drought. Roots of beet also…

freezing point of the bacteria cells, enhancing supercooling. With bacteria, adding glycerol to final concentration of 15% will help protect from damage of freezing and thawing. When the freezing point of bacterial cells lowered by the use of glycerol, its prevent the formation of ice crystal which can cause intracellular injuries. Generally, the colder the storage temperature, the longer the culture will retain viable cells. The increase in salt concentration, can damage the bacterial cell by…

one of the most significant effects on the porosity in potatoes is by the dehydration process. The removal of water during the rehydration process causes the cell to rupture due to stresses subjected to the cell membrane and cell wall of the potatoes. In addition, the stresses (usually generated by the water vapor) subjected to the cell membrane and cell wall will produce the pressure towards the food's cavity surfaces resulting in the increase of porosity of the product (Singh. F et. al, 2014).…

Once the egg was decalcified, it felt very fragile and bouncy. When the egg didn’t have a shell anymore, it was kept from seeping out by the “plasma membrane” (egg white), which was congealed by the soaking in vinegar. When the nucleus of the egg became visible, it looked very cloudy. The substance that entered/left the egg in each situation was water, due to the state of the egg, by way of osmosis, in a way of trying to balance the inside and outside the “cell” (egg), this balance is essential…

Abdomen Injury: Ruptured Gallbladder Definition of Injury The gallbladder is an organ that holds the excess bile produced by the liver. When the gallbladder ruptures, this excess bile leaks, caused by inflammation.(Krause, 2015) Anatomy of the Gallbladder The gallbladder is located underneath the liver Mechanism of Injury The two ways a gallbladder can rupture are from inflammation, or due to blunt injury. Causes of inflammation that lead to rupture are “Gallstones, ascariasis,…

According to current research, it is not completely known what causes tendinitis or rupture after taking this medication. However, there is a possibility that FQs have a direct cytotoxic effect on enzymes found in mammalian musculoskeletal tissue.3 Achilles tendinitis or rupture is among one of the most serious side effects associated with FQ use, especially with ciprofloxacin (Cipro), demonstrating a 3.8-fold greater risk for development of Achilles tendinitis/rupture.3 According to the article…

Athletes are more prone to injuries simply because they are more active and more in different directions than most people do. With that being said, an Achilles tendon rupture is an injury that you would see more commonly in an athlete because it comes from a force on the foot or the ankle. An Achilles tendon rupture can result in having surgery but also not having surgery depending on how bad the patient hurt it. Think of all the movements that your Achilles tendon helps you do, flexes your…

blood supply and the high tensions placed on it, an Achilles rupture is a common injury. When the Achilles tendon is torn or ruptured it can either be partial, or a complete tear. In a partial tear, the tendon is torn but still joined to the calf muscle. Whereas with a complete tear, the tendon is torn so that the connection between the calf muscles and the anklebone is lost. Of the two injuries a complete tear is more common.…
