child’s life; such as they wouldn’t survive past birth or wouldn’t have a fulfilling life. A woman named Julie was twenty weeks pregnant when she had an ultrasound done to identify the sex of her child. The doctors discovered that the baby’s brain ventricles were doubled in size. This meant that if the baby was carried to term, it would be developed at about the amount a two month old fetus would be. She chose to terminate the pregnancy, rather than risk having a premature baby and having to…

reduce the heart’s workload. Since the patient suffers from cardiomyopathy, he is in need of an inotrope, such as, Digoxin; which increases contractility of the heart muscle wall, to be more efficient with contracting strongly enough to empty the ventricle of blood (Drugs.com,…

Respiratory Journal Research Cardiorespiratory Fitness, Adiposity, and Serum 25-Dihydroxyvitamin D Levels in Women: The Cooper Center Longitudinal Study Summary According to the article, “Cardiorespiratory Fitness, Adiposity, and Serum 25-Dihydroxyvitamin D Levels in Women”, advancements in medical research have led to understanding how vitamin D affects more than just the bones. This longitudinal research study was performed to go beyond the association of vitamin D and musculoskeletal…

inhibitors help someones hearts get in good or even better conditions. Essentially, ACE helps people with systolic heart failure. Systolic heart failure is when the ejection fraction is decreased, this leaves an unusual volume of blood in the left ventricle. This drug helps people with systolic heart failure feel better. This helps the heart stay in good conditions if its not working in good conditions because of systolic heart failure. In the Drugs articles “Know more be sure” it claims, Altace…

Major functions of circulatory system- To move blood and lymph throughout the body. Diagram that includes the major parts - heart, artery, vein, capillary - and list the function(s) of each.The heart's function is to pump blood throughout the body the Arteries function is to carry blood away from the heart Vein- returning deoxygenated blood back to the heart after arteries takes the blood out. the function of the Capillary is to move oxygen and other nutrients from the bloodstream to other…

QUESTIONS 1. Discuss the pathophysiology of coronary artery atherosclerosis. Include discussion of risk factors associated with the development of this disease. (10 points) Coronary artery atherosclerosis is most commonly comprised of atherosclerotic fibrous fatty obstructions of the large epicardial vessels, which provide for blood flow and transport nutrients, oxygen, and elimination of metabolic waste products such as CO2, lactic acid, and hydrogen ions. Coronary artery atherosclerosis…

the tumor. Proper oxygen supply is provide to the brain which brings the carbon dioxide down to normal level and causes the pH to become alkalotic. Craniotomy, where bone flap is removed and then replaced to relieve sudden rise in ICP. Drainage of ventricles or subdural hematoma are other option for decompression. As for medication, three different type of medications are administered osmotic diuretics, corticosteroids, and anticonvulsants. Diuretics are given to take out water from the brain…

The interaction between the CNS and the systemic immune system is delicate, being limited by the presence of the blood brain barrier (BBB), which renders the CNS immune homeostasis in a dormant self-tolerant state (1). Selective permeability of the BBB plays a crucial role in regulating the entry of specific molecules into the CNS and excluding most macromolecules from passing into the brain (2, 3). This unique feature of the BBB also prevents leakage of neurotransmitters into the circulation.…

Sarah Grace Burton and Emily Dickey May 23rd, 2017 Anatomy HN - Vogel 4th Period Atrial Fibrillation Inside of the cardiovascular system, the heart normally has a regular heartbeat that is consistent. But for some people, their heartbeat is quivering and irregular which is called arrhythmia as the atria gets off beat. This rapid, abnormal heart-related condition is called Atrial Fibrillation, or more commonly known as AFib or AF. It can be caused by a variety of things, including…

2. Describe the pathophysiology of COPD Patients with COPD are always associated with smoking. This diease is develops from prolonged exposure through inhalation of harmful or poisonous particles such as nicotines from smoking, dust, fumes and air pollutions. These irritants can stimulate the inflammation of airways and irritates the lungs. (Lewis et al., 2014 p732). When this irritants is being inhaled, the cilia in the lungs are damaged that causes persistent cough and increase mucus…
