Starting in 2012, the year of the London Olympics, the International Olympics Committee knew that Brazil was not prepared to host the 2016 Olympics. This is because of several things such as water contamination and a lack of facilities and man power. Another major reason that the Olympics should not have been held in Rio is the Zika virus. Zika is a virus spread through mosquitos and sexual activity. It causes a minor sickness to the male population but can cause many things to happen to a…

kilograms per meters squared. The value of her blood pressure however is a bit higher than normal. Normal values are 90/60 - 120/80 and Shannon’s blood pressure is 125/86. Her resting heart rate is 89 beats per minute and a body temperature of 38.40C. Currently her body temperature is about 1.40C higher than the normal temperature for a human body. Currently the only vital signs that are alarming would be her increased body temperature and high blood pressure. Shannon’s social behaviour includes…

and high caloric intake is required to assist to assist and promote a prompt recovery process. Continuous IV fluids infusion is used to restore the lost of plasma volume, prevents dehydration and ensures that the rest of the organs receive adequate blood supply to support the healing process, all while also improving cardiovascular function. Extreme vital signs monitoring is required to maintain proper cardiopulmonary functioning. Gastric suction may be used, only if there is an indication…

a “rare bleeding disorder which means it’s an inherited disease, but also you can get it from another source described later. Hemophilia is defined by a “deficiency or absence of one of the 20 blood proteins that helps our blood clot” (Foundation, 2011). Individuals with hemophilia are unable to form blood clots when needed to stop bleeding. The major causes includes bleeding into the head, abdomen, kidneys, intestines and major joints that can be life or…

There are a variety of different factors promoting or inhibiting post-operative wound healing. Rund et al (1) covers many factors linked to wound healing such as smoking, oxygen availability, nutrition, hyperglycemia, alcohol intake, and patient adherence. First of all, smoking exerts a pervert effect on peripheral vasculature. For instance, a single cigarette causes a decrease in O2 because of ligation of carbon monoxide (CO) to hemoglobin and nicotine has an added effect of peripheral…

surgery, if people are still afraid of needles, they can suffer psychological side effects. Theranos’s tests might have been cheap but it doesn’t cover for the inaccurate test results. By 2014, a third of Theranos’s tests required more than a prick of blood so clearly this value proposition did not hold. Theranos attempted to “disrupt” the market by making it possible for someone to not have to go through a central laboratory to obtain test results. Theranos’s prides itself for…

intestinal disorders, or excessive blood donation. Hookworm disease is another important factor in causation of anaemia due to chronic blood loss. The mean daily loss of blood from an Ancylostoma duodenal is 0.15 nil and Necator americans is 0.03ml. In rural areas, post partum haemorrhage on account of poor obstetric spaced pregnancies and prolonged periods of lactation deplete iron stores with each successive pregnancy and this is reflected in the high incidence of anaemia with higher parity.…

most components of the blood are first filtered out using ultrafiltration, and then the essential nutrients like glucose, amino acids, etc. and electrolytes like Na, K, Cl, HCO, Ca, Mg, etc. and water are reabsorbed by passive, active, or facilitated transport. The waste products are reabsorbed and therefore are excreted in the urine. The artificial kidney device called hemodialyzers removes excess waste from the blood using the principle of dialysis. The cleansed blood returns via the circuit…

Wilson's disease (WD) is an inherited disorder affecting copper metabolism. The first known case was described by Dr Samuel Alexander Kinnier Wilson in 1912,(1) and after that, studies have revealed many of its associated biochemical disturbances(2) and genetic abnormalities. The physical aspect of the disease affects mostly the live and the brain A distinguishable feature of WD is that medical therapy can be used to treat patients without symptoms as well as patients already suffering from the…
