INTRODUCTION What are Androgenic-Anabolic Steroids? Androgenic-anabolic steroids (AAS) are synthetic derivatives of the male hormone testosterone. Testosterone is produced in the Leydig cells of the testes. Scientist have tried to reproduce a synthetic form of this hormone since the early 1900s. As early as 1935, the production of synthetic hormones has been possible. These hormones have two distinct effects. The androgenic effects which produce the development of the male characteristics such

Introduction Autonomic dysreflexia is a clinical syndrome that develops in a patient who has neurological damage especially the ones with spinal cord injury (SCI) and develops hypertension. This is brought about by developing a confusing impulse from the bowel or bladder resulting in uncontrolled hypertension in a SCI patient. The SCI must be at the level of the sixth thoracic spine vertebrae (T6) and above for a patient to be at risk of developing dysreflexia. This syndrome develops when there

Introduction Bariatric is the field of medicine that manages obesity and the disease that accompanies it. Obesity is a chronic disease associated with the three leading causes of death in the United States: cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and cancer. (McCance 1477). Successful interventions fare needed to help improve obesity, which affects more than one-third (34.9% or 78.6 million) of US adults. (CDC 1). Drug therapy and bariatric surgery are used as adjuncts to diet and

encases the heart and the heart muscle, placing tremendous pressure on the heart. The extreme pressure restrains the heart’s ventricles from extending fully and keeps the heart from functioning normally. The heart is not able to pump enough blood to the rest of your body, which could lead to organ failure, hypotension, shock, and in the worst case possible even death. According to (NCBI) 2 out of 10,000 people can end up getting the condition. (Barwell, 2012) This pressure is enough to back up blood

made healthcare less affordable over time, creating a major public health issue for individuals without insurance. In a Health Affairs study about patient accessibility to care, the differences between adults with and without coverage has broadened from 2000 to 2010.1 The Obama Administration recognized this as an issue, and in 2010 signed into law the Affordable Care Act to make health insurance available and ultimately affordable to all US citizens, regardless of socioeconomic status.9 For 2016

Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) is an open-heart surgery where a section of a blood vessel, either a vein or artery, is grafted from the coronary artery to the aorta to bypass a blocked section of the artery to improve blood supply to the myocardium (See appendix A for Physiology) The primary foundation of CABG is to regenerate perfusion to the myocardium. (Diodato & Chedrawy. 2014), The goals of CABG include improving your quality of life, reducing angina

Deaths Kiss Mankind knows more than they ever have in health and modern medicine.
