mind; and as the core symptoms were identified—auditory hallucinations and delusions—by a German psychiatrist Kurt Scneider, more studies were being conducted (1). One study done on CT scans proposed that there is a difference in size of cerebral ventricles among patients with schizophrenia; however, a theory was developed, which suggested schizophrenia could be a consequence of the brain’s high metabolism when energy problems arise; characterized by psychosis and cognitive impairments (1,2).…

In professional sport, the past 15 years have been corrupted by our athlete's use of performance enhancing drugs or also known as doping. The competition has become so severe that it is now more common for athletes to ingest PED's in order to gain an advantage over their competitors without worrying about the effect the drug could possible have on the body of their body or the influence it has on younger generations. Steroids, the most prevalent used performance-enhancing drug, are an artificial…

Heart and Lung Sounds Assessments The knowledge of the normal heart sound, S1 then S2, will aid in the identification of the abnormal heart sounds as the changes of loudness of S1 or the “lub” in “lub-dup” may signify heart pathology. “The second heart sound has been called the key to heart disease” (Shindler, 2007). It is widely transmitted, usually audible, sharper and shorter than S1, and easily heard. Ventricular gallop or S3 is normal in children but not in older populations as it may be…

hypertension and puts the patient at risk of heart attack and stroke. I agree with my plan for the left ventricular hypertrophy because lifestyle management by diet and exercise as well as hypertensive medication help prevent enlargement of the left ventricle (Mayo Clinic,…

Stress is known to influence people’s mood, behavior, health, and sense of well-being. Young people tend to have stress that does not affect their health. However, as an individual gets older or is not in shape, stress can have long term health effects. There have been extensive studies done to prove that stress is related to the development of some lifelong diseases. Neil Schneiderman’s article “Stress and Health: Psychological, Behavioral, and Biological Determinants” explains how over time,…

Heart Failure- (Patho Statement) Heart failure is complex and caused by a number of conditions. Ventricles are the main pumping chambers of the heart. Dysfunction can occur in the right side, left side, or both sides. This impairment can also affect the pumping efficiency of the heart. This damage can be measured by the ejection fraction of the heart…

Abstract Schizophrenia is the psychological disorder that comes to mind when the words “crazy” and “insane” are mentioned. “Schizophrenia is a psychotic disorder involving distortions in thoughts, perceptions, and/or emotions” (Zimbardo 537). Schizophrenia occurs all over the world, possibly effecting every different ethnic group. According to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), the first symptoms of schizophrenia usually start to show in the late stages of adolescents. Close to…

Fabric of the Human Body. This book made him known for his renown findings and information. In the book it has around 200 anatomical drawings. In the book it describes and proves against Galen’s beliefs and theories. One of them is that the heart’s ventricles can have blood flow in between them. Another idea against Galen’s belief is that the jaw is made up of more than one bone (“Andreas Vesalius:Vesalius’ De Humani Corporis.”) In the summer of 1542, he finished his book and began to…

These can be present for a period of time with the mania of bipolar disorder. Mania in bipolar disorder is characterized by feelings…

Genetically linked AD, or early-onset familial Alzheimer disease (FAD), is linked to three gene defects: amyloid precursor protein (APP) on chromosome 21, presenilin 1 (PSEN1) on chromosomes 14, and presenilin 2 (PSEN2) on chromosome 1 (McCance & Heuther, 2014). Mutations in APP, PSEN1, and PSEN2 lead to FAD by increasing the rate that the brain produces a peptide called beta amyloid (Kumar, Abbas, & Aster, 2013). The overproduction of beta amyloid leads to: neuritic plaques, neurofibrillary…
