Describe the process of normal breathing beginning with the brain. Explain how a condition such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) can interfere with the normal process of respiration. Breathing occurs subconsciously without one being aware of its different steps: stimulation of the respiratory control centers in your brain, inhalation, gas exchange, and exhalation. The medulla oblongata controls the body when to breathe. During the ventilation, process the phrenic nerve sends a…

design of a multi-level and nationwide intervention aimed to understand and improve an under-researched topic; sexual counselling of people with cardiovascular disease. The three main stages of the BCW were followed to arrive at the CHRAMS intervention. First, understanding why sexual counselling was not provided using secondary data from previous studies constituting surveys and focus groups, and mapping the findings to the components of staff’s capability, opportunity, and motivation. Secondly…

Urosepsis Urosepsis is an infection that has spread to the blood (sepsis) from the urinary tract.

These organs make, store, and pass urine from the body. Urosepsis is a severe illness that can be life-threatening if it is not treated immediately.

The article caught my attention because the title hooked me into the idea that the biospleen was created for Ebola but in fact it was first planned out to treat sepsis. In the future, I would love to work in the medical world and reading the article gave me a new perspective of how fast science is moving. Maybe in the future, I won’t need to prescribe my patients to antibiotics, I would just perform the biospleen…

risk, due to the high mortality of burn-related sepsis. Reverse isolation, which is to protect the patient from exposure to opportunistic and pathologic microbes should be implemented. Antimicrobial topical agents, such as silver sulfadiazine, secured with dressings can help the damaged protective barrier. If the burns do not heal from supportive measures via wound care, then surgical excision and skin grafts will be necessary to reduce the risk of sepsis. Eschar can develop from these burns,…

Sepsis, a common origin of pediatric morbidity and mortality, which is a systemic inflammatory response (SIR) to infection. Children with septicemia diagnosed by fever, hard breathing, tachycardia, malaise, inability to eat or lethargy, but those with asymptomatic bacteraemia tend to appearance of no obvious signs of infection. Deaths happened as result of pediatric septicemia are likely to be greater in low-income settings. In hospital setting, the ratio of septic infections due to…
