Q.1 Causes: The most common causes of MI are slow buildup of atherosclerotic plague of coronary artery rupture of the plague, subsequent thrombosis and occlusion of blood flow. When the plague crack or tear itself, blood platelets stick to this and form blood clots which can result in complete blockage of the blood flow. Other factors such as coronary artery spasm, platelet aggregation and emboli from mural thrombi (thrombi lining the walls of the cardiac chambers) can also lead to MI (Riedl, 2016)

The dairy industry, which includes dairy farms and dairy processing plants, is a major contributor to the economy. Dairy farms are involved in the production of raw milk, whereas dairy processing plants produce a variety of dairy products (such as processed milk, cheese, butter, yogurt and ice cream). The dairy industry ranks third (based on farm cash receipts) in the Canadian agriculture sector and Newfoundland has the fewest number (n=33) of dairy farms of all the provinces (CDIC 2014). Although

Subjects The study subject was divided into 4 groups. Group I: 21 patients with hepatic schistosomiasis (12 male and 9 females). Group II: 18 patients with HCV infection (10 male and 8 females). Group III: 23 patients with concomitant hepatic schistosomiasis and HCV infections (13 male and 10 females). Group IV: 20 healthy individuals as controls (12 male and 8 females). Full history taking including contact with water canal water were collected from the study subject Abdominal ultrasound Ultrasonography

Mode of Delivery Affects on Stress Response at Birth and Possible Shift of HPA Axis Nicole Miller Eastern Michigan University Abstract Several journal articles were reviewed regarding the effects that mode of delivery had on cortisol (CORT) and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) at birth and its possible long term effects on the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA). Umbilical cord blood was collected immediately following delivery with a time frame of up to 20

High Risk Pregnancy -pregnant with a concurrent medical disease -with pregnancy related complication -presence of external factor that jeopardizes the health of the mother, the fetus, or both [pic] Candidiasis (Moniliasis) INCIDENCE: • 75% of women will have at least 1 episode of VVC with 40-45% having 2 or more episodes ETIOLOGIC AGENT: • Candida albicans, Candida glabrata MODE OF TRANSMISSION normal flora of the skin & vagina not considered

The growth of HIV cases in Indonesia is one of the most rapid ones among the countries in Asia (UNAIDS 2013). Indonesia’s Ministry of Health estimates that more than 500.000 people in Indonesia will become infected with HIV in 2014 unless there is an acceleration of HIV prevention programs (UNICEF Indonesia 2012). In Indonesia, the testing of HIV currently is done in voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) clinics in selected hospitals. The patients are required to visit the clinic to do the testing

During 2015, the reproductive cycles of two female, captive, Southern White Rhinoceroses (Ceratotherium simum simum), Moesha (#1357) and Kito (#1353) at Hamilton Zoo were investigated and analysed by non-invasive faecal progesterone concentrations. These two females have had limited reproductive success with one in a long period of acyclicity and the other with normal cycles. Monitoring progesterone levels allows the zoo keepers at Hamilton Zoo to be able to introduce the male Kruger (#1273) when

Aldosterone: Role in Edematous Disorders, Hypertension, Chronic Renal Failure, and Metabolic Syndrome. Schrier RW, Masoumi A, Elhassan E. University of Colorado Denver, Aurora, Colorado. Abstract The role of aldosterone has expanded from the hormone's genomic effects that involve renal sodium transport to nongenomic effects that are independent of the effect of aldosterone on sodium transport. The nongenomic effects of aldosterone to increase fibrosis, collagen deposition, inflammation, and

HIV The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a lentivirus (a subgroup of retrovirus) that causes HIV infection and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). AIDS is a condition in humans in which progressive failure of the immune system allows life-threatening opportunistic infections and cancers to thrive. Without treatment, average survival time after infection with HIV is estimated to be 9 to 11 years, depending on the HIV subtype. Infection with HIV occurs by the transfer of blood, semen,

of performing testing services for all departments within the facility which will negate a need for testing performed by any outside provider. “Clinical Lab- Provides STAT and routine testing for automated chemistry, automated hematology and immunoassay determinations” (Clinical Core Laboratories, n.d.). Additional testing will be performed for departmental requests as needed. Departmental Goals: Grants for a Fellowship
