Fluoride, consumed in its varying forms, undergoes hydrolysis in the stomach which frees fluorine anions (F-), completely releasing them from their parent compound (Turney, et al., 2011). The fluorine anion is referred to as fluoride, the molecule of focus in this toxicological report. Fluoride readily crosses cell membranes by means of a pH gradient in which its negative charge becomes attracted to the free hydrogen cations found in acidic environments. This gradient and binding of fluoride…

who was admitted with a chest pain. Patient experiencing ischemia may have symptoms of nausea, angina, or pain in the chest. As major risk factors of ischemia include CAD, coronary artery anomalies or Cardiomyopathy, the patient had an angiogram scan which showed a complex multi-vessel disease of the coronary arteries (Koulaouzidis, 2013). CMR was requested to assess myocardial viability , thus help in making decision regarding surgery or Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for the patient.…

Indications for recording an electrocardiogram There are numerous indications for recording an ECG however it is important to understand that the ECG can only directly measure time and voltage; all other information available must be derived or inferred. Research over a number of years has established characteristic patterns and measurements associated with a variety of disease states. However, the sensitivity and specificity of these measurements vary with different pathologies impacting…

is pumping the oxygenated blood through the aorta. Then the blood goes through your heart through the vena cava. Once you start moving the blood go through the capillaries to your lungs, legs, head and arms the blood flows through the inferior and superior capillaries. The part of the heart blood that that keeps the blood from flowing backwards would be the valves. Hypothesis: I hypothesize that if the faster and more often we move our muscles the higher our heart rate would be. Then, when you…

Stress is taking you closer to Cancer Stress is natural and it can’t be avoided completely. But plunging into stress for weeks and months may bring you closer to the risk of cancer. Therefore, it is recommended by health experts to keep stress at bay as it is one of the primary cause behind various diseases and disorders. Short term stress is not harmful There exist two types of stress. They are Short term Stress and Long Term Stress. • Short Term Stress: Stress which surrounds you when you face…

blood pressure, diabetes, excessive use of alcohol or caffeine, drug abuse, stress and many more( WebMD Publishers www.webmd.com ). The person experiencing heart arrhythmia may also have scarring from a previous heart attack. A person may get blocked arteries because they have too much cholesterol in their blood and it makes the blood fat ( Sandhyha Pruthi M.D.www.mayoclinic.org ) . Another cause may just be genetics, your parents or someone in your family may have heart arrhythmia. Smoking can…

clamor is the surgical removal of the vessel blockage otherwise known as Carotid Endarterectomy. This surgical procedure is believed to be the most conclusive method of reducing the risk of stroke in the patient with partial or fully occluded carotid artery. Thus, numbers of patients going through this…

Dyslipidemia is a prominent factor for the development of cardiovascular diseases that are the leading cause of death in the world, with left ventricular hypertrophy being one of these. Changes in the lipid profile are also responsible for the oxidative stress that affects several organs, and the liver is one of the most affected. Such involvement triggers diseases that affect the organ structurally and functionally. Herbal medicines in recent years are emerging as an alternative in the…

Spider veins or Telangiectasia as they are better medically known, are small permanently dilated capilliaries or venules and are often found in the face, legs and ankles. The presence of these veins can indicate a deeper circulatory problem but in most cases will be superficial and therefore harmless. (Werner, 2016) Spider veins are very similar to Varicose veins although much smaller and a lot closer to the skin. Veins carry deoxygenated blood through our body and back to our heart. In the…

Hello everyone, In this thread, I would like to discuss about stroke and Tizanidine, a pharmacological agent is to manage spasticity. Stroke transitioned from being the third to the fourth leading cause of death in the United States (Goodman & Fuller, 2015). Although the decline in mortality, it remains as the leading cause of long term disability (CDC, n.d.). Stroke is a focal vascular-induced injury of the brain. Disruption of blood supply may be caused either by an obstruction (called an…
