Superior Ophthalmic Vein→Facial Vein → 1) Posterior Superior/ 2) Inferior Alveolar Veins / 3) Superior/ 4) Inferior Labial Veins • Valves prevent retrograde backflow 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…

Central line infection and thrombosis cause thousands of deaths each year and increases medical costs (CDC). Proper care of the central line utilizing antibacterial dressings, passive…

Day 1 Summary: John is a 62-year-old male smoker who has presented with concerning a BMI and blood test results. Q1. John’s low density glycoprotein levels are higher than the target level (actual level 5.6, target 1.0). Long term decreased high density glycoprotein level leads to a build-up of cholesterol in the body. Additionally, John’s triglyceride levels are above the recommended target level (actual level 5.7, target level <4.0). This supports the other data gathered, suggesting that…

Asian Americans Asian Americans are the fastest growing minority populations in the United States and the number is expected to increase significantly from 18 million in 2010, to 34 million in 2050 (Hastings et al., 2015). Although the number of Asian Americans is constantly growing, research has been limited within the subgroups and only some of the subgroups are being reported. For example, national death registries allow researchers to study population health and look at trends. The problem…
