1 GAS EXCHANGE 4 Gas exchange Gas Exchange Leslie A. Rouse El Centro College Gas Exchange Gas exchange is defined as the process by which oxygen is transported to cells and carbon dioxide is transported from cells (Giddens, 2013, p.161). Gas exchange in the human body occurs in the lungs and as the primary function of the respiratory system, it exchanges two gases, oxygen and carbon dioxide. The process of gas exchange happens as we breathe through ventilation, transport and perfusion.

Just to name a few, here are the most influential pathogens for CAP: haemophilus influenza, mycoplasma pneumoniae and viral pneumoniae (adenovirus, varicella zoster). Lastly, VAP occurs in the hospital setting and typically involves patients who underwent endotracheal intubation or received mechanical ventilator support. Methicillin drug resistant

Bronchitis is an upper respiratory infection that can affect adults and children. Acute bronchitis normally manifests in children (Nang, 2014). Chronic bronchitis in adults develops as a result of excessive smoking; air pollution, infections, and allergens exacerbate the symptoms (Kohnle, 2012). Symptoms can range from shortness of breath and chest pain to fever and chills to productive coughs which may be streaked with blood. Radiography is the most often used to demonstrate inflammation associated

common bacterial organisms that are associated with pharyngitis which includes Streptococcus pyogens (group A streptococcus), Corynbacterium diphtheria, Arcanobacterium haemolyticum, Neisseria gonorrhoeare, group C and group G streptocococci, and Mycoplasma pneumonia (Burns et al., 2013). Streptococcus pyogens accounts for 15 to 30 percent of pharyngitis in children, with group A beta-hemolytic streptococcus being the most common cause in children (Burns et. al., 2013). The bacteria is mostly transmitted

Bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia associated with anticonvulsant hypersensitivity syndrome induced by Lamotrigine Case Summary: A 14-year-old-girl known to have seizure disorder on Lamotrigine treatment admitted to the hospital with history of rash, fever and cough. Her condition deteriorated initially with typical clinical features of anticonvulsant hypersensitivity syndrome (ACHS) complicated with bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP). Her chest computed tomography showed

Case presentation and history Michael is a 12 years old boy who is a slim built and he is attending year seven at a local High school for visual Arts and Design. Michael is living with his mother, father, and younger brother. Michael has presented symptoms of severe stress, moderate mood, and normal anxiety during the last week before the assessment. Michael has a history Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and he indicated fears of harming other, resulting in checking and reassurance behaviour as well

3. Review on small molecules a) Small molecules Small molecules are the low molecular weight organic compounds having capacity to inhibit the growth of bacteria or their virulence potential. Previously, antibiotics were used for these purposes but today we need to be curious before using antibiotics due to the developing resistance. If antibiotics develop resistance, they are no longer effective for prevention, treatment or control of diseases caused by infectious microorganisms. Researchers are

Mary Shelley’s 1818 book, Frankenstein, started a popular trend with authors and movie screen writers of science fiction and horror. For over a century now, movies have been produced replicating the Frankenstein novel and the mysteries revolving around creating life from scratch. Numerous films show humans creating creatures or monsters, with good intentions, only for something to go wrong and the creation creates havoc on everyone involved. Viewers will find every variation of creation from cloning

Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition, ranked as the highest cause of non-fatal burden in Australians aged 5 to 14, and the seventh highest overall in 2010, according to the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (cited in the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, 2013). In addition, a 2014 report of Australian health conducted by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare shows that in 2011-2012, asthma affected 10.2% of the Australian population, double that of the prevalence

lungs. It occurs because the areas of the lung which absorbs oxygen (alveoli) from the atmosphere become filled with fluid and cannot work effectively. (Makati Medical Center, 2012) There are many causes of pneumonia, including bacteria, viruses, mycoplasmas, fungal agents, and protozoa.
