have been reported. Facial involvement of the disease is associated with intellectual disability (Figure 4). Only about 20% of patients with Proteus syndrome have premature deaths. Some of the main causes are pulmonary embolism caused by deep vein thrombosis associated with arterio-venous malformation, and respiratory and central nervous system deaths due to lung and brain malformation.1,4,5 Basic treatment: Proteus syndrome has no cure, and no accepted pharmaceutical therapy targeting the…

I have found through my AS Psychology lessons and from personal experience with family members, that mental illness is a topic that interests me immensely. In my lessons I learned how mental illness is treated and theories about how it is caused, such as the biological approach which suggests that mental illness is caused by changes to the brain or neurotransmitters. For example, there is evidence to suggest that depression is caused by the lack of serotonin in the body. My interest in mental…

Lupus is a long-lasting inflammatory disease that strikes when the body’s immune system attacks its own tissues and organs. The inflammation that is caused by this disease affects multiple systems of the body- including your skin, blood cells, kidney, brain, heart and lungs. There are multiple forms and types of lupus, no two cases are the same. Studies show that lupus results from a mixture of your genetics, hormones, and climate. There are certain potential triggers such as sunlight,…

procedures, this is due to the protocols that surgeons have to follow in order to alleviate dangerous situations. For example, most surgeons will deny access to surgery to frequent smokers because that increases their chances of receiving deep vein thrombosis which is extremely fatal. As far as postoperative, some of the complications can be easily resolved such as infections, soreness, scarring or just the overall dissatisfaction of the appearance. Infection can be treated with antibiotics,…

1. Furosemide (Loop-diuretics) Indication: Furosemide is a loop-diuretic that is indicated for use when treating Hypertension, Hyperkalemia, and edema that is from kidney failure, congestive heart failure, or liver cirrhosis. MOA: Its mechanism of action is to interfere with the chloride-binding cotransport system and inhibits the reabsorption of chloride and sodium ions at the distal and proximal tubules, and the loop of Henle. This leads to the pharmocological effects of enhancing the…

After passing the NCLEX, newly registered nurses from associate, baccalaureate, and diploma programs are able to search for jobs. As of 2010, 66 percent of nurses were educated at the associate level, while 34 percent achieved a baccalaureate degree (Sarver, 2015, p.153). Though more students complete associate programs, their education does not provide them with the advanced knowledge and skills needed for excellent patient care. Current research has shown that nurses prepared by baccalaureate…

Signs and Symptoms There are a few indications to look out for when thrombocytopenia is the suspected disorder an individual is suffering from. We know that thrombocytopenia is caused by a low platelet (Thrombocyte) count which would result in a bodies hindered ability to perform important blood clotting functions [2]. Most of the time the symptoms aren’t life threatening and in mild cases the person suffering from the disorder doesn't even experience any related symptoms [3]. In severe cases,…

ETIOLOGY Endothelial dysfunction precedes atherosclerotic CAD and is characterized by impaired vasodilation, increased adhesion molecules, and increased thrombosis risk.8 This occurs when there is a lack of response of certain chemical messengers produced by the endothelium to acetylcholine; the most notable change is a diminished nitric oxide vasodilatory response.5 As a powerful vasodilator and inhibitor…

into CS, thus infections initiate inflammatory responses, increases blood stasis, thrombus formation, and extravascular fluid pressure. • This can reverse direction of venous blood flow, causing infection into venous sinus causing → Cavernous Sinus Thrombosis. Increase in pressure can also Damage the cranial nerves that run through/on the walls of the CS (CN 3, 4, 5, 6) • Can also lead to meningitis Via Pterygoid Plexus Damage: Cause by poor administration of posterior superior alveolar…
