Atherosclerosis is a condition that can be explained by integrating various concepts from Biology, Physics and Sociology.Biology allows us to understand the effects of this disease on the circulatory system. Physics incorporates Poiseuille’s law in order to explain the three key factors in blood circulation which are blood flow, resistance and the flow rate. Lifestyle and Culture are sociological factors that can influence how the disease takes a toll on an individual. Atherosclerosis is a…

1. What does the PR interval on the ECG represent? What is the normal value? The P-R interval is the interval between the beginning of electrical excitation of the atria and the beginning of excitation of the ventricles and its normal value is 0.12- 0.20 seconds. 2. What does the QRS complex on the ECG represent? What is implicit in the information that the QRS complexes on Mr. Ortega’s ECG had a normal configuration?

Pseudophakic cystoid macular edema (PCME), also called Irvine-Gass syndrome, was identified and described for the first time by Irvine-Gass in the 20th century.1 Although the occurrence of PCME has declined with the use of modern surgical techniques, it is still recognized as one of the most common causes of poor visual outcome following cataract surgery.2 The pathogenetic mechanism underlying this syndrome remains unclear, although several factors have been identified potentially capable of…

INTRODUCTION The aim of this review is to employ relevant primary literature resources to discuss the potentials of multidisciplinary cardiopulmonary care teams in cardiovascular life support and resuscitation towards patient mortality reduction and achievement of positive neurological outcomes after a cardiopulmonary arrest. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of more than 17.3 million annual deaths, representing 31% of global mortality rate, with nearly 801000 American deaths…
