I. According to Biological Psychiatry (2016) there is an“estimated 2-13% of women worldwide who use cannabis during pregnancy” (para. 4). Cannabis is any product that comes from the cannabis sativa plant, which grows in many parts of the world. The cannabis plant contains the chemical delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) which is the most active ingredient found in the cannabis plant. The user can mix cannabis in food or beverages, inhale the fumes in a bong or smoke it using a hand rolled…

Tetralogy of Fallot and the respiratory condition is Respiratory Distress Syndrome. Tertralogy of Fallot is a birth defect and affects normal blood flow. During development in the mother’s womb, the heart of the baby does not form correctly and this condition is the result. This condition is a congenital defect, meaning that the child is born with this condition. There are four defects of the heart and the blood…

like a finger, partial or complete absences of bones in the forearm, undeveloped bone of the upper arm, abnormities of the collarbone or shoulder blades which can affect one or both of upper limbs, abnormal heart rhythm, atrial septal defect (ASD), and ventricular septal defect (VSD). These symptoms vary from person to person. The diagnose of this disease is not recommended, however test are done when cardiac symptoms begin to manifest at the later life stage of the patient. X-rays,…

Some of which are hearing impairment, cataracts, congenital glaucoma and heart defects, developmental delay, atrial/ventricular septal defects, hepatosplenomegaly, jaundice, and radiolucent bone disease. The more serious the infection is; is the more easily detectable it is at birth. However, mild CRS can remain undetected with slight cardiac involvement or…

I am often asked why I cannot have a cup of coffee following major heart surgery, which repaired a heart defect called Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy, or HOCM for short. I find that if I tell someone that I cannot have coffee, I am often met with disbelief, arguments on why I should have coffee, laughter, or even as far as waving a perfectly scented cup of lovely coffee under my nose. However, after everything I have been through concerning my heart, I will not succumb that easily to…

the heart between the sternum and vertebral column, even including “cardiac contusion” and cardiac rupture during external cardiac massage during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Within this spectrum, blunt cardiac injuries may present as free septal rupture, free wall rupture, coronary artery thrombosis, cardiac failure, complex arrhythmia, simple arrhythmia, and/or rupture of chordae tendineae or papillary muscles.[][] The incidence may be as high as three fourths of the patients with…

Resonance Imaging), echocardiography, electrocardiography, and cardiac catherization. Common laboratory tests are CBC (complete blood count), biochemical profile, iron studies, and blood gas assessments. The imaging studies can show the congenital heart defects and pulmonary changes (para.1). Treatment According to El Chami (2014), the treatment of Eisenmenger Syndrome varies a lot and depends on the patient’s age and degree of symptoms. If a patient is not yet presenting with symptoms, he/she…

venous return of the right lung into the IVC or right atrium. It is usually diagnosed in childhood but it may be delayed until later in life when it is discovered incidentally (1). It is often associated with not only other cardiac defects including atrial septal defect,patent ductus arteriosus (2), hypoplasia of the left heart and aorta (3) but also lung anomalies like congenital right pulmonary hypoplasia and anomalous blood supply of the right pulmonary lower lobe from the infra…

Heart failure is when the heart is too weak to pump blood efficiently, and cannot provide proper cardiac output that the body needs to maintain the body’s metabolic needs. Also, heart failure is when the heart muscle has become damaged and cannot contract and pump blood up and through the valves and out through both sides of the heart or the heart muscle has become too stiff. This process mainly relates to the heart muscles of the ventricle chambers. The ventricles are the main problem within…

be in the baby. There are many signs and symptoms that go with FAS. They are: poor growth while the child is in the womb, decreased muscle tone, poor coordination, and delayed development. Also, there are some heart defects such as, ventricular septal defect, and atrial septal defect. Problems with the child’s face, including narrow and small eyes, small head, and small upper jaws can occur as…
