As providers, understanding the etiology of the illness, presentation, differential diagnoses, treatment, and management, will be of high importance for all patients. This paper will discuss the medical problem, the pathophysiology of the infection, typical presenting signs and symptoms, three differential…

More Americans have died during the Civil War than any other war. 620,000 soldiers died in the line of duty. Two-thirds of these didn’t die from wounds. They died from diseases such as typhoid and dysentery. Civil War medicine was not yet advanced enough to connect a lack of hygiene with an influx of disease. Lack of hygiene in hospitals and camps also contributed to the spread of disease. Placing a latrine downstream away from the clean water supply was sometimes also overlooked. Disease spread…

Drosophila Melanogaster, or better known as the common fruit fly, is found all over the world and referred to as the cosmopolitan species (Mitrick, 2010). This fruit fly has three main body parts, which include the head, the thorax, and the abdomen. On males, the bottom half of the abdomen is black, while on the female, each segment of the abdomen is striped black. Drosophila have four main stages to their life cycle.

Abstract Respiration for life and respiration for speech while similar are very different. The two roles of the respiratory use the same structures and muscles yet they have very different outcomes. One results in breathing which is vital to life while the other produces sounds that make communication between two individuals easier. Therefore, the structures and muscles in the respiration for life help to deliver oxygen to the different parts of the body. Along with this, the main function of…

This comprises the ribcage, muscles, skin and fascia. The clavicle is found at the junction of the thorax and the neck, its medial end joins the manubrium of the sternum which sits subcutaneously in the anterior median line (Soltanian & Brown 2016). The manubrium is the broad part of the sternum, which joins the body of the sternum, clavicles and cartilages…

This is part of your cardiovascular system. A larger system made up of your heart system and circulatory system. The heart works to push out about 5 liters, on average, of blood every minute, to the organs, tissues and cells of the human body. This hard working organ, fully matured is only about the size of your clenched fist. Each…

Modern medical technology and procedures save lives everyday. Some of the modern medical practices that we use today started in the Civil War. In a modern war, the majority of American soldiers will die due to enemy fire. Over two-thirds of the soldiers that died in the Civil War perished outside of the battlefield. There was a killer that was not fully understood, disease. (Dixon 2013) The Civil War is known as the deadliest war that the United States has ever engaged in with approximately 620…

Introduction Bernabucci et al., 2009 described a reduction in feed intake by finishing lambs as a result of heat stress conditions. Dávila-Ramírez et al., 2014 hypothesized that the use of β-adrenergic agonists as a feeding management strategy to improve carcass characteristics in reduced feed intake lambs. Zilpaterol hydrochloride (ZH) use in steers resulted in the mobilization of tissue from visceral organs and directed these nutrients to carcass tissues during periods of ZH supplementation…

A pneumothorax is when air is present in the pleural space which results in a partial or complete collapse of a lung (Crimlisk, 2010). There are three classifications of a pneumothorax which include open, closed, and tension. An open pneumothorax occurs when an opening in the chest wall allows air to enter into the pleural space which occurs from chest traumas like stabbings and gun shots, or surgical thoracotomies (Crimlisk, 2010). A closed pneumothorax is when air accumulates in the pleural…
