Aneurysm Research Paper

To begin with, the word aneurysm derives from the Latin word “aneurysma.” In Latin “aneurysma” means dilation and dilation means that act of expanding. From this, it is easier to figure out what an aneurysm really is. The definition of the English word aneurysm means, blood-filled dilation of a blood vessel. There are several different types of aneurysm, but this report will only cover a cerebral one.

Since the age of seven I have been fighting what many think is the impossible. When I was seven I was diagnosed with a ruptured aneurysm and an arteriovenous malformation also know as a AVM. My case wasn't rare in the case of a ruptured aneurysm but was rare in the case that such a young child had a ruptured aneurysm. I was a lost cause in what many doctors told my mom, in a last ditch effort to save my life I was life-flighted to Iowa University Hospitals where a doctor took a chance on my life when no one else would and he was able to save my life. I had beat the impossible that I was still alive and wasn't dead, not in a wheelchair, could still talk, I was able to feed my myself. It was a long journey through, constant doctor visits

An aneurysm is a life-threatening arterial disease in which the wall of arteries dilates permanently. The aortic aneurysm mainly occurs in the thoracic and abdominal regions of the aorta and can lead to the aortic dissection or rupture resulting in mortality and morbidity of patients. It is believed that multiple factors play roles in the initiation and progression of this disease. However, the underlying causes of the aortic aneurysm and its failure have not been fully understood yet. The current work aims to investigate the failure mechanisms of Ascending Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms (ATAAs) from a biomechanical perspective by considering the histological and morphological changes of the ATAAs.\\

Surgical intervention is presently the only effective method of treating AAAs. The risk of surgical repair is outweighed by the risk of aneurysm rupture or aneurysm related death. Patients

Solitaire AB stent is sometimes used in the coiling of small intracranial aneurysms that have ruptured. With the advances in Neuroradiology techniques, the diagnosis of small aneurysms has been improving. According to “Jifang Zhang, Donghai Wang and Xingang” (2015) in a study titled “Solitaire AB stent-assisted coiling embolization of the treatment of ruptured very small intracranial aneurysms” (page 1) a study was performed at the Qilu

All of the factors contribute to the patient’s risk, but only hypertension can potentially be modified to decrease the patient’s risk for further expansion of the aneurysm.

1. Angioplasty: Kereiakes and Wetherill write that “angioplasty is a procedure in which a heart doctor inserts a balloon catheter over a thin wire across an artery. The balloon is inflated and compresses the plaque to clear the arteries of any blockage.”(p. 106-107).

In between the tree-covered hills of Sand Run Metro Park lies a quiet street where I spent summers at my grandmother’s house. Each day, my grandmother planned an adventure; while most adventures ended in a delicious black raspberry ice cream cone from our favorite creamery, one distinctly ended with a scar. On another sweltering day, anticipating the adventure ahead, I buckled into my grandma’s car wearing my favorite watermelon sundress. When we pulled up to the state fairgrounds, I immediately proclaimed where I wanted to go first, the horse barn. Moments after entering the barn, a spooked mare kicked me in the forehead; my next memory consists of my grandma applying pressure to my head and comforting me while I cried about getting blood

Even though heterozygous mutant mice had no manifestation of a disease, the increased in length of their ascending aorta and the fragmented elastic fibers suggest that mutant animals may be predisposed to vascular diseases. These findings may help explain why not all individuals in the family develop aneurism and are only affected with arterial torsion.

Aneurysms, localized enlargements of artery walls, can be treated through unassisted endovascular coiling or stent assisted endovascular coiling (BA Foundation, n.d.). Although the treatment methods are effective, their durability and ability to prevent aneurysm recurrence are under question. The purpose of this study was to compare the recurrence rates of aneurysms treated with unassisted coiling and stent assisted coiling. I conducted a quantitative meta-analysis study and looked at studies from 2009 to 2017 involving the treatment of aneurysms of different characteristics with stent assisted coiling method or unassisted coiling method.

Blood clots are a serious side effect when it comes to taking the pill. Certain pills may cause or increase the risk even more. According to Planner Parenthood "The progestin in YAZ, Gianvi, YASMIN, Ocella, Syeda, and Zarah, Beyaz, and Safyral may be linked to a higher risk for blood clots than other birth control pills" It is a good chance doctors will advice women to stay away from these. Anything that can increase the risk of blood clots should be avoided because blood clots are very serious and dangerous. The most familiar place for the clot the leg or lung. The pills do not cause the clot it can higher the chances of getting one. "For the average woman taking birth control pills, the absolute risk of a blood clot is very small: Only 1

There are two types of aortic aneurysms — thoracic and abdominal. Both can be inherited as autosomal dominant heart diseases. Thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAA) occur in the part of the aorta running through the chest area, while abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) occur in the part of the aorta running through the abdomen. The aorta is the main blood vessel, or artery, that transports blood from the heart to the rest of the body. Aneurysms in the aorta are a bulges in the blood vessel walls that cause various health problems.

Choice “A” is the best answer. All of the choices are complications of parathyroid surgery. The development of an expanding hematoma in the pretracheal space has the highest mortality in postoperative patients if left untreated as it compresses the airway. This complication must be recognized and treated immediately by opening the wound and evacuating the hematoma. If untreated, the hematoma may progress rapidly, causing airway obstruction. In contrast, most small hematomas do not require treatment[1].

Humans help maintain their body temperature by wearing clothes. When someone is surrounded by something that is cooler than their body temperature, like air, or water, the body will lose heat. Although clothing and shelter helps people stay warm, our body has adapted vasoconstriction as a way to keep critical organs warm. Vasoconstriction is the tightening of blood vessels. Vasoconstriction causes the blood flow to reduce which conserves body heat. However, vasoconstriction can also lead to numbness, loss of hands, fingers and etc. The human body also uses shivering to maintain body temperature. For example, shivering increases internal heat production by causing the muscles to contract and relax rapidly.
