The Cell cycle consists of various phases, G 1 (growth& preparation of DNA), S (DNA synthesis), G 2 (cell preparation to divide), Mitosis (where chromosomes separate & the cell divides) and G0 (where non-dividing cells exit from the cycle). Cytotoxic therapy is the use of chemotherapy to disturb cellular growth by causing damage to the DNA and impairing cell function (Dougherty & Lister, 2011 p. 870). By affecting the growth and

Subjective Information It is important to know how and when the laceration was sustained. Patients with wounds of more than 24 hours are not candidates of incision repair with sutures (Ursatine & Coates, 2011, p. 157). Also, knowing the patient’s coexisting conditions and degree of contamination (dirty wounds, bites, presence of a foreign body) is important to determine the possible use of antibiotic prophylaxis (Ursatine & Coates, 2011, p. 158). Lastly, ask the parents about patient’s current tetanus

When things are consumed by mouth, contractile motions in the esophagus move substances down the esophageal tract and into the stomach.  The lower esophageal sphincter is an area of smooth muscle at the end of the esophagus that works with

Introduction Every human body contains one pair of kidneys. They are situated towards the back of the body under the ribs, just at the level of the waist, with one on each side of the body. Each kidney is composed of about one million units called nephrons, and each nephron consists of two parts: a filter, called the glomerulus and a tubule leading out from the nephrons (Cameron 1999). According to Marshall and Bangert (2008), the kidneys have three major functions: firstly, the kidneys

Introduction The purpose of this paper is to explore the Etiology, Pathophysiology, Clinical Presentation and treatment of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) when coincided with each other. They share similar symptoms and signs, both having increased work of breathing and wheezing when minimal exercise is done.
