Stress, a single word can produce growth or destruction. There are physical and psychological changes or reaction associated with stress (Citation). I personally believe some manageable stress is beneficial to growth, development and performance. However, I have seen stress bring a person to their knees and crack a foundation. Unfortunately, I have also seen stress resolved though suicide. Stress is a cruel action that can change direction; becoming productive to destructive on the turn of a…

the right upper arm and therefore she was referred to the ER. Her private physician is Dr. Shiraz Yussaf and oncologist is Dr. McIntosh. Her medical conditions are hypertension. Venous ultrasonography revealed a somewhat elongated nonobstructing thrombus in the right internal jugular vein. The entire right basilic vein is thrombosed and noncompressible. On presentation she started on Lovenox…

treatment of AF but patients who show signs of the AF condition are focused on rhythm control as it helps to reduces hemodynamic symptoms and prevent death while those with no symptom are based on rate control which help prevent development of thrombi. Thrombus, is the most serious complication of AF which leads to stroke and a possibility of death. Pharmacologic treatment is presumed to be the best method for nurse practitioners to provide the best outcome for…

During the evolution of atherosclerotic plaques, especially vulnerable (lipid-laden) plaques, a plaque disruption can occur, which exposes substances that promote platelet activation and aggregation, thrombin generation and ultimately thrombus formation [5]. This thrombus interrupts blood flow and can result in a severe disproportion between oxygen supply and demand and - if this imbalance is persistent – consequently myocardial necrosis. Myocardial infarction (MI) can be transmural and…

The cardiovascular system is an integral system responsible for maintaining homeostasis in the body. It is composed of the muscular pumping organ, the heart, and a closed system of vessels called arteries, veins, and capillaries. “A baby 's heart begins to develop at conception, but is completely formed by eight weeks into the pregnancy” (Stanford Children’s Health). As the heart reaches structural and functional maturation, it will involuntarily pump blood to the blood vessels to nourish cells…

a) Haemothorax: Usually happen due to trauma. Nonetheless it can be of a blood clotting defect, thoracic/heart surgery, death of lung tissue, lung cancer, tear in a blood vessel when placing a CVC central venous catheter or TB tuberculosis. Pathophysiology is the body has a blunt trauma then because of the internal injures the body starts to loose blood/plasma and it causes shock and the body begins to shut down and the breathing reduces, weakens and diminishes and HR/pulse drops. Clinical…

Patient comes into the Emergency Room with a chief complaint of swelling and extreme pain in the left leg. After awaiting triage, the patient is finally seen by the physician. Temperature 96.8˚F, Heart Rate 129 beats per minute, Blood Pressure 102/60, Respiratory Rate 23, SPO2 100% on room air. Upon examination of his left leg, it is undeniably blue in color with significant swelling as compared to the right. Superficial veins are noticeably distended and the leg is cool to the touch. A Duplex…

Breakthrough in the treatment of cardiovascular disorder Myocardial Infraction Introduction: Acute Ischemic necrosis of an area of myocardium is known as myocardial infraction (Heart attack). Heart Muscle necrosis occurring as a result of critical imbalance between coronary blood supply and myocardial demand is called myocardial infraction. Suddenly myocardial loses its blood supply. In most of the patients Myocardial Infraction develops in left ventricle. [1] The main cause of myocardial…

To minimize or try to reduce this bias an external examiner would have assessed the outcoming patients of the study during the follow-up, yet there is a change that the own patient will tell the examinator or the own examinator will noticed the CB ablation intervention from the scarf of the postoperative; Regarding to that, we have decided that the examinator will be the same professional as the one that have done the procedure. Statistical consultant won’t be aware about what therapy has been…

I. INTRODUCTION: Clopidogrel is one of the major drugs used in the treatment of Acute Coronary Syndrome. Along with Aspirin it is the standard of care in Percutaneous Coronary Interventions with stenting, when a long term dual antiplatelet treatment is needed. However the response to clopidogrel shows wide inter-individual variations. Various studies have shown that the polymorphisms in the genes responsible for Clopidogrel absorption and metabolism are a major factor for these variations.…
