Stroke and Infarction with Hormonal Contraception During one year, one in 3,000 women who are taking oral contraceptives will develop a blood clot (James, n.d.). These blood clots can lead to more dangerous events such as a thrombotic strokes or myocardial infarctions. Through a nursing research article from The New England Journal of Medicine, a study was conducted in Denmark to assess the risks of taking oral contraceptives and its correlation with stroke and infarction. The article explains

On Friday, March 30, 2012, I was pulled out of my sixth-grade reading class. When I got to the office my Great-Uncle was standing there with a very strange look on his face. He proceeded to say “Aunt Linda Kay went to the doctors today and they found out she was having a heart attack and rushed her to the emergency room. They took her to the catheterization laboratory and they figured out she would need a quadruple bypass.” He proceeded to tell me I would be staying with him and his wife. When I

How did the amount of Sodium Citrate, an anticoagulant, added to a Calcium Chloride solution affect the volume of the clots formed when a sodium alginate solution, a blood simulation, was introduced? Mackenzie Keesor (Fall Semester 2017-2018) Purpose The purpose of this experiment was to observe the differences in the formation of simulated blood clots when different amounts of sodium citrate, an anticoagulant, was added to the coagulation process, which would help gain information about the process

This first clinical of med-surg at 3 North, was a little nerve-racking. I wasn’t sure how I was going readapt myself to this, on the floor clinical experience. I wasn’t sure what to expect for this clinical, all I was sure about was to go with the flow and learn. The patient I had chosen to care for during pre-assessment, was a 93-year-old lady that had chest pain and CAD. I looked forward caring for the patient but I had a bad feeling about the patient before I got to clinical. Unfortunately, the

What is atrial fibrillation? Atrial fibrillation, also known as afib, is an irregular heartbeat that produces disorganized electrical signals within the heart. This results in quivering of the atria, or top chambers of the heart which allows blood to pool. Stagnant blood in the atria increases the risk of developing a blood clot.1 The blood clot can enter the bloodstream and travel to the brain resulting in a stroke. Atrial fibrillation is associated with a 5 times increased risk for stroke, and

Rivaroxaban is a factor Xa inhibitor that may be useful as a treatment for deep-vein thrombosis without the need monitoring that vitamin K antagonists like warfarin require. Standard treatment for acute deep-vein thrombosis consists of initial parenteral heparin with co-administration and followed use of vitamin K antagonists. However, vitamin K antagonists need to be monitored due to a high risk of bleeding. EINSTEIN Study GENERAL STUDY OVERVIEW Oral Rivaroxaban for Symptomatic Venous Thromboembolism

Why Your Eyes May Bleed if You Transition From Coudmadin to Xarelto If you have ever suffered from a stroke and been prescribed medicine from your doctor, you may want to learn more about the effects of the drug you are taking. Xarelto is a blood thinning medicine that has been linked to bleeding in the abdomen and eyes.

Mainly this article is focused on what will help wounds of natural clotting.There is an assumption based on scientific procedures (based at Rice’s BioScience Research Collaborative) that synthetic collagen may heal the wounds of the natural clotting by chemist and bio-engineer Jeffrey Hartgerink. During this process there is a substance used called KOD. KOD is a protein that unites or links organs as well as tissues. The use of KOD is used to mainly help with clotting blood. They believe that this
