Raynaud's Disease Few people are aware of Raynaud's disease even though it is a fairly common condition. Raynaulds Disease is also referred to as Raynauld’s phenonmenon. Raynaud's is a condition in which cold temperatures or stress cause blood vessel spasms that block blood flow to fingers, toes, nose, and ears. This causes these body parts to suddenly turn ice cold and to become a purple or blue color. Later when the blood flow becomes normal the area turns a reddish color and later returns

Hot Tub Mystery Answers Part I 1) The paramedics on the scene observed empty bottles of wine around the perimeter of the hot tub. The bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Underhill lie at the bottom of the tub which had a noticeably above average temperature. The couple was determined to have been dead long before the paramedics arrived. It was also mentioned that Mr. Underhill had taken Lasix before entering the hot tub. 2) Based on these observations the investigators should ask the maid why the hot

cardiac health and patent vessels. Edema also affect tissue perfusion. There are many reasons that disturbed the normal flow of blood like ECG rhythm, congestive heart failure, hypertension, gestational hypertension, mitral valve prolapse, coronary artery disease, and peripheral vascular disease, which are also the exemplars of perfusion. There are many risk factors that can be modified to prevent the perfusion problem. Blood pressure greater than 140/90 is known as hypertension. Excessive sodium

Seth Kahn’s (2011), article entitled, “Putting Ethnographic Writing in Context,” identifies ethnography as the study of “relationships, rituals, values, and habits that make people understand themselves as members of a group.” Ethnographers adopt a stance of observation, as well as participation to better understand the discourse among members within a particular group, or discourse community (Khan, 2011). This ethnographic research will “connect what community members know and do, with what they

When T-tube and CPAP were compared in the Study (108), it showed that use of T-tube did not impair arterial oxygenation. Further it showed that extubation with T-tube could be superior to CPAP when the pattern of change in PaO2/FiO2 was taken into consideration to predict extubation outcome. The PaO2/FiO2 showed an initial decline and then increasing trend in case of T-tube whereas it had a declining trend in CPAP group. Study by Cekmen N et al. had contrary result showing the number of unsuccessful

penis contains two cylinder-shaped chambers called corpora cavernosa which runs along the length of the penis. They contain arteries which bring the blood to the penis and veins which take the blood away from the penis. When there is sexual stimulation either physically or mentally our brain sends a message to the nerves in the penis to cause the relaxation of the penile arteries. This increases the blood flow to the penis making it stiff and hard, thus achieving erection.There is simultaneous contraction

Definition of Atherosclerosis Atherosclerosis is a disease dealing with the heart. This disease causes hardening, narrowing, or even blockage of the arteries, which makes the arteries thicken. Fat, calcium and plaque buildup are all components of atherosclerosis. The accumulations of calcium, fat, and plaque buildup quietly and slowly block the arteries, putting blood flow at an extremely high risk. Atherosclerosis is typically the reason for heart attacks, strokes, and peripheral vascular disease
