Deaths from myocardial infarction

The mortality rate in the general population is <1%, whereas among older adults it ranges from 4-8%. Older adults account for half of all deaths from appendicitis and tend to present late, and symptoms are atypical (Tazkarji, 2008). Furthermore, small bowel obstructions (SBO) can be indicative of ileus and resolved with nursing interventions such as nasogastric to suction

1. Background and significance Background Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are one of the major cause of death and is one among the 10 chronic diseases in the world2, 3. Center for Disease control and prevention (CDC) confirms the same for the United States (US). Recent figures (2014) showed that chronic diseases were the cause of 75% of deaths in the US, and approximately 25% of those deaths were due to CVDs4. Chronic diseases consume 86% of the total US health care expenditure whereas, CVDs occupy

developed countries it is responsible for half of all deaths, coronary artery disease (CAD) alone is responsible for 1 of every 4.7 deaths in the United States (Eichner et al., 2002). Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) extended to involve the developing countries this is probably due to change in life style and dietary habits, one of the examples in developing countries is India were the mortality from CVD increased to 103% in men and by 90% in women from 1985 to 2015 (WHO 2003), (Sharma & Ganguly 2005)

dysregulation of TFs and miRNAs is associated with many diseases [15]. miRs constitute a large class of phylogenetically conserved single-stranded RNA molecules of 19 to 25 nucleotides that are implicated in post-transcriptional gene silencing. They arise from exonic and intronic genomic regions that are transcribed by RNA polymerase II as long primary RNA transcripts. These primary transcripts undergo processing steps that produce a short “mature” molecule. Approximately 70-bp precursor miR product is processed

Triage night shift Sitting at triage, this particular night was busy but not chaotic when a father and son approached to be assessed; pt had been unwell with his asthma for the day and had been following his asthma plan but was not responding to the treatment dad stated pt has unstable asthma and has one presentation to intensive care unit pt was alert orientated talking in full sentences but had wide spread wheeze bilaterally saturations 98% room air mild work of breathing noted. Started treatment

2011). The patient's breathing should then be assessed now that the spine in immobilised to ensure the depth, rate and rhythm of the breaths are adequate. If needed an oropharyngeal airway may need to be inserted into the mouth to keep the tongue from blocking the airway if it is tolerated (Higginson et al,. 2013). Lastly, in the primary survey, the

His heart had stopped beating. It is hard to describe how I felt in that moment as I am still trying to process my emotions. I remember turning away from the table where the patient lay lifeless, and staring at the sink in the far corner. A single tear rolled down by flushed face. Suddenly, I felt as if my throat was closing in on itself. After a few deep breaths I turned around and began to focus only

Sleep deprivation is defined as the situation or condition of suffering from lack of sleep. Sleep deprivation is super common now days. People begin at such a young age. Most people can recall the first time they wanted to stay up super late to watch television, or hang out with their friends at a sleep over. Kids are constantly seeing older sibling and parents staying up and choosing other things over sleep. They’re taught at such a young age that sleep deprivation is an okay thing to do. We aren’t

Various studies has been presented many methods to prevent pulmonary embolism in high-risk patents which mostly focus on using of inferior vena cava filters, and anticoagulation. However, contradictory results are suggested within this research because only a certain type of inferior vena cava filters are examined, for example, prophylactic inferior vena cava filters. Dazley et al. (2012) shows the efficacy of propyl lactic IVC filters in preventing the development of venous thromboembolic event

Understanding the level of fitness a person initially exhibits prior to beginning a fitness regimen is extremely important in helping them improve their well being. Hoeger and Hoeger (2015) include the current methods for testing an individual's baseline of physical fitness include body composition, cardiovascular, flexibility, muscular strength along with endurance benchmarks. Additional important benchmarks such as mental health will be investigated, with research completed by Gomez-Pinilla and
