association of BMIwith cardiac output, forearm and calf blood flow in healthy young male adults. Our results are consistent with our hypothesis. Cardiac output was found to be significantly more in obese subjects compared to overweight and normal BMI group. Similar results were found in other studies too. Obese individuals have expanded central blood volume. In addition, stroke volume and cardiac output are both increased. These changes in blood volume and cardiac output are most likely due to the

while you are on this diet. Even the amount of milk is limited due to the amount of sodium it contains. A high sodium diet can cause elevated blood pressure and worsen other health conditions such as poor liver function, heart disease, kidney disease and weight gain from water retention. The goal of a two-gram sodium diet is to prevent or lower high blood pressure, decrease water retention, and prevent kidney or liver damage. To ensure the correct amount is consumed, it is important to read food

Smoking is also a constrictor and causes arteries to become clogged. Smoking can be hard to give up or quit. Stop smoking is a lifestyle modification that can help preserve your heart from having clogged arteries. According to National Heart, Lung, Blood institute 2016, one of the best ways to reduce your risk of heart disease is to avoid tobacco smoke. According to American Heart Association 2017, “many studies

as well as a few more. Keywords: Pharmacology; medicine; physiological; organ; drug Cardiovascular Pharmacology Angina Angina, which is sometimes called angina pectoris, is chest pain that is caused by inadequate coronary blood flow to the myocardium. When coronary blood flow cannot deliver sufficient oxygen to support cardiac oxidative metabolism (reduced oxygen), the myocardium becomes hypoxic. This triggers pain receptors within the heart, which lead to chest pain and the sensation of heaviness

THE PATHOGENESIS OF HYPERHOMOCYSTEINEMIA The small amount of Hcy normally found in the plasma is the result of a cellular export mechanism that complements the catabolism of Hcy through transsulfuration by helping maintain low intracellular concentrations of this potentially cytotoxic sulfur amino acid 176,177. Either a genetic defect in one of the enzymes of Hcy metabolism or a nutritional deficiency of one or more of the vitamins that participate in homocysteine metabolism can lead to metabolic

corticosteroids, such as methylprednisolone, increase mortality rate and therefore should be avoided in the treatment of a head injury (Windish, 2006). In addition, the inability of corticosteroids to lower ICP and the potential ability to increase blood glucose level make their use even less favorable in the intraoperative management of head injury (Yao et al.,

using a blood pump. This pump removes Linda’s blood and replaces it with someone else’s fresh blood. The men state “we have about 50 of these cases a day”, showing that overdoses and blood pumps are nothing to them and that this medicine is routine. There is nothing as easily accessible and fast to revive and save lives like the science in this film, in current society. However, there is a procedure called an exchange transfusion. This procedure takes one’s blood and replaces it with some plasma or donor

someone else in the family, or even a complete stranger. This material is the umbilical cord, and the blood contained within their vessels. One may wonder, why is this blood so important? Medical research has discovered that the residual umbilical cord blood contains stem cells. These cells are the building blocks that the body uses to create some of the key components of the human immune system, blood and bone marrow. Stem cells are essential for life, they carry oxygen, fight infections and platelets

not imply only to emergency care but also ICU management. It is well established that there is trimodal distribution of death in trauma patients. First peak is within seconds to minutes because of head or cervical spine injury or to injury to major blood vessel and much cannot be done about this. The second peak occurs in minutes to hours due to life threatening injuries and prognosis depends on initial resuscitation of the patients both in the emergency department and ICU.Then there is third peak
