Alcohol or ethanol is a chemical compound which is classified as a depressant. Depressants slow down the human brain and affect the way the brain interprets information and alters feeling and human behaviour according to (alcoholthinagain, 2017). Alcohol just like any other liquid must pass through the stomach, from there it must pass through the liver. According to (myDr, 2017) the liver must process the alcohol into a chemical compound called acetaldehyde. The acetate is further metabolised and
The clinical findings that correlate with M.K’s Chronic bronchitis are the chronic cough with sputum and the fact that she has smoked for twenty-two years. Chronic bronchitis is defined as a daily cough with sputum production for at least three consecutive months for two years in a row. Chronic bronchitis is also usually associated with long term tobacco use. When you have COPD, the airways of the lungs become inflamed and thickened which make them narrow. They can become clogged with mucus and
Liver cirrhosis is a problem that can be caused by many liver diseases. It is a progressive disease itself, developing slowly over many years. It is characterized as scarring to the normal liver tissue which keeps this organ from working as it should and causes it to take on an abnormal structure. The diseases that lead to cirrhosis injure and kill liver cells. Scar tissue that has formed due to inflammation and repair, prevents the cells that have not died to properly replace the dead cells which
There are three main types of strokes. Each type has its own cause and treatment, though they are very similar. The Ischemic stroke is what approximately 85% of strokes are. This occurs when the arteries to the brain become narrowed or blocked. Either blood clot or debris can lodge into brain arteries. A Hemorrhagic stroke occurs when a blood vessel in the brain leaks or ruptures.
blockers and calcium channel blockers. These latter two classes of medications are given to slow the patient's heart rhythm; they are often used to treat a-fib or v-fib. When an arrhythmia has been caused by an obstruction in the coronary arteries, a coronary artery bypass graft may be done to restore blood flow. With a-fib, surgeons may also recommend an operation called the maze procedure, which reroutes the heart's electrical impulses along a defined
Figure 1 is generated as a standard curve; this allows us to determine the concentration of TNFa in a sample. Using the equation formed in the graph (of the line produced), TNFa concentration can be calculated by replacing the absorbance value with the Y axis value. Using this equation allowed the concentration values in table 3 to be calculated. Manipulation of data, including plotting this TNFa concentration value against the LPS concentration in each row of wells meant that a relationship between
cardiac stressors: • Ischemia resulting from coronary blood vessel obstruction caused by atherosclerosis, vasospasm, thrombosis or embolism. Ischemia can also occur from reduced time for the coronary arteries to fill with blood, as in tachyarrhythmia, or from reduced filling pressure in the coronary arteries, as in severe hypotension or aortic valve disease (Bruyninckx 2011). • Hypoxemia, as in respiratory failure or severe
in comparison to open surgery which one of the following statement is not true about minimal access surgery? decrease wound size decrease post operative pain increase operative time improve vision decrease operation theater cost which one of the following is not a limitation of minimal access surgery? technical and more demanding lost of tactile feedback extraction of large specimen difficult with hemostasis surgery following previous multiple operations in regard to the general principles
Where have you heard the word hypothermia? At the hospital? On a camping trip? While playing Pokemon Go? Hypothermia is actually a very serious medical condition. So, your prized Pikachu probably didn't get hypothermia. Hypothermia is when low temperatures cause chemical changes to slow down so much therefore the body stops functioning, usually due to exposure to cold weather and other various conditions that can all be treated. “ If body temperatures goes higher than about 100 F or lower than about
Heart rate anticipatory response – this is where the heart rate starts to automatically increase before you start to exercise. The heart rate is able to increase automatically by chemical hormones, the hormones are adrenaline and noradrenaline. These hormones are found inside the brain. The reason the heart rate increase before exercise is because it prepares the muscles for exercise, the reason it prepares the muscles for exercise is because by the heart rate increase the more oxygen is getting
