The Human Body, A Biological Organization Of Physiological Cascades

HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: Mr. Barua is a 42-year-old gentleman from Bangladesh who presents with chest tightness, shortness of breath, and tachycardia. Dr. J.K. McClain of cardiology is evaluating his heart condition. The patient has had the recent onset of hemoptysis. He was treated for tuberculosis in Bangladesh 15

There are many kinds of body systems, working together to create a functioning body. Different body systems work with certain body systems, but all work together. Like, nervous system and muscular system, circulatory system and respiratory system, and so on.

Hemothorax is a type of pleural effusion in which blood accumulates in the pleural space. The excess fluid can interfere with normal breathing by limiting expansion of the lungs.

Cerebral palsy people usually very stiff and unusual relaxed and ‘’floppy ‘’ limbs which may also held in an unusual or awkward position

At CTPA study performed at the time excluded any pulmonary emboli and the report made comment of a moderate sized right-sided pleural effusion with compressive atelectasis. There was no comment on the report of any parenchymal infiltrate and I have not cited the images myself. CRP was 113. He was given a presumptive diagnosis of pneumonia with parapneumonic effusion and commenced an Augmentin Duo Forte and doxycycline. In

A 50 years old male who has bilateral pneumonia, was found to have pneumothorax while on mechanical ventilation CPAP/PS mode. While placing the pigtail catheter, the patient

There are different kinds of joints in the human body (hinge/ball joint and socket and spin for example). They are joined together ball joints and socket joints fit together nicely do you can move your ankles, toes and fingers. These are all surrounded by ligaments and tendons which you can cause damage o by moving them incorrectly. such as not moving a person up the bed correctly such as putting your arms under their armpit, and dragging them u the bed. Lifting a person off the floor without a hoist but instead lifting them under their arms, this could cause their joint to dislocate or new hip joint ruined by incorrect handling, or muscles, tendons to be hurt. There are 3 different layers to the skin the epidermis, the outermost layer of skin, provides a waterproof barrier and creates our skin tone.

A hemothorax is a collection of blood in the space between the chest wall and the lung. The medical term for this space is the pleural cavity. It is also called the pleural space. The most common cause for this condition is a chest injury. It can also happen from:

Now lets look a tension pneumothorax. A tension pneumothorax is when airs builds up in the pleural space [from a chest injury allowing air to enter but not get out] and cause the lungs to compress and decrease return blood flow to the heart causing shock. Tension pneumothorax is a serious and potential deadly condition that can sometimes be controlled by placing a coated trama pad over the hole to control air going in. Another procedure called needle decompression can be done by ALS providers.

There are two types of pneumothorax: primary spontaneous pneumothorax which is rupture of an air-filled bleb on the surface of the lung because of alveolar pressure and the secondary spontaneous pneumothorax, which is more serious because is associated with, lung disease that cause trapping of gases and destruction of lung tissue. The most common cause of secondary spontaneous pneumothorax is emphysema and it is a life-threatening due to poor compensatory reserves (Grossman & Porth, 2014).

A chest x-ray is the primary way to diagnose a pneumothorax. Generally two chest x-rays will be taken, one on inspiration and one on expiration. This allows to better visualize the collapsed lung. An additional CT scan may be required. Ultrasound may also be used.

Mrs. Schafer completed her pulmonary function test prior to the appointment time and she was evaluated by Dr. Theodore J Standiford. Mrs. Schaefer provided an acute report of her injury and symptoms she was experiencing. Dr. Standiford replied that Mrs. Schaefer lung capacity was reduced by a third. (1/3). I inquired if it was the result of the injuries in the MVA. Dr. Standiford replied that they are a contributing factor i.e. flail chest and fluid in her lungs from aggravated congested heart failure. Dr. Standiford noted left crackles breath sounds on his examination and recommended that Mrs. Schaefer return to her cardiologist and that a high resolution CT scan of her lungs be obtained prior to the next appointment to determine if she has

and severe hypercarbia exerts a negative ionotropic effect on the heart and reduces left ventricular function. 2,3 The extent of hemodynamic changes associated with the creation of pneumoperitoneum depends on the intra￾abdominal pressure attained, volume of carbon-dioxide absorbed, and patient’s intravascular volume. Frequent complications associated with pneumoperitoneum includes subcutaneous or mediastinal emphysema, pneumothorax, hypoxemia, hypotension carbon dioxide embolism cardiovascular collapse, and cardiac arrhythmias.

After withdrawal of the introducer needle the biopsy site was then dressed with sterile gauzes and a post procedural CT chest done to evaluate for the presence of parenchymal haemorrhage or pneumothorax around the puncture site. Parenchymal haemorrhage was identified as areas of hyperattenuation around the lesion or along the needle path. The grade of pneumothorax and haemohrrage was determined accordion to known CT criteria [37, 38]. Small asymptomatic immediate pneumothorax was treated conservatively while placement of tube thoracostomy was reserved for patients with signs of respiratory compromise.

Evolutionary pathways can be traced through several different means. Two of the most popular are looking at the phenotypic signs like body structure or appendages things that can be seen, another popular way of tracing is similar structures that have developed or gone away like a tail bone on a human. Another way to track evolution is to look at the development of proteins and other chemicals in the organism’s body.
