Pancreatic Cancer Pancreatic cancer is an abnormal growth of cells (tumor) in the pancreas that is cancerous (malignant). The pancreas is a gland located in the abdomen, between the stomach and the spine. The pancreas makes hormones that help the body use and store energy that comes from food. The pancreas also makes pancreatic juices that help digest food. Pancreatic cancer can spread (metastasize) to other parts of the body. The abdominal lymph nodes are the first place that may be affected…

probably just have a virus . I knew that wasn’t the case. My mom recommended them taking an ultrasound of my stomach to see if they see anything in my stomach that could have triggered the pain. The doctors said that we weren’t going to find anything in there but we will still check. Before they could proceed with anything my mom had to sign a consent waiver stating that they have a right to perform the ultrasound. I remember the nurse putting cold jelly on my stomach asking, “You aren’t…

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrine disorders that is known to affect women during reproductive years. This disorder is characterized by hyperandrogenism, chronic anovulation, and typical morphologic changes of the ovaries (Pan, Chen, Tsao, & Chen, 2015). PCOS is estimated to have a prevalence of 5%-10% of reproductive aged women (Grossman & Porth). The symptoms that accompany this disorder include menstrual irregularity, obesity, infertility, and androgen…

Their options include diagnostic, oncology, and interventional radiology. Each of these specialties use imaging tools in order to diagnose and treat patients. Diagnostic radiologists diagnose diseases using PET scans, ultrasounds, and MRI. Also, they can detect how well a patient is responding to a previously given treatment. Oncologists specialize in diagnosing and treating patients with cancer. They provide patients with information related to cancer, and cancer treatment…

minutes later, the lady in the blue uniform returned to the room with a man. The man said that he was a doctor and that he needed us to follow him to the conference room. What is going on? I thought. Do they always take people in there after an ultrasound? I wondered. The room was big and white. There was a long, oval table in the center with roller chairs around it. The man said that he would be back in a few minutes. I didn’t know what was happening at the time, but I could feel that something…

INTRODUCTION Hip and knee arthroplasty are well known causes of severe postoperative pain. Although the place of peripheral nerve blockade in knee arthroplasty is well recognised (1, 2) its place in total hip arthroplasty is still not defined. In the case of major knee surgery, recent evidence suggests that early rehabilitation may be improved by use of regional anesthetic technique (3, 4). Regional blocks have thus gained acceptance for perioperative management of procedures on the knee and…

Identify 2 patients on your current caseload. - List their diagnosis and age- List the pt's general goals- List the OT goals. Identify at least 3 interventions you will complete with each patient to help them achieve their goals and their OT goals. Cite one book/journal to support your intervention for that diagnosis or deficit. Below are two patients that I am currently co-treating.

We listen to music and hear sound in our everyday lives, whether we are listening to the music in our car, or we are listening to the sound the vacuum makes when it is turned on. Sound and music however, are not a simple concept in physics. There are so many topics and under those are subtopics. These topics include waves, which is what we will be focusing on today. Sound waves are made very easily, in fact we create them every day. They can be created by smashing two cooking pans together, this…

when they begin replicating inside a new host cell. Depending on the symptoms of the patient further tests and data collection may be required. If the infection were to spread to the kidneys it could cause Kidney failure and ultimately death. An ultrasound examination can be used to check for inflammation of the kidneys and bladder. There are studies that can be done in children to identify physiological issues. There is also a specified regiment of x-rays that, with the combination of contrast…
