Type 2 diabetes is mainly associated with abnormalities in any of the following 3 basic pathophysiologic abnormalities: • Impaired insulin secretion • Excessive hepatic glucose production • Insulin resistance in skeletal muscle, liver and adipose tissue.9 The thiazolidinediones are a unique class of agents that improve the third parameter, and are therefore also called as the “Insulin sensitizers”. Insulin resistance syndrome also called as Syndrome X is caused by a variety of pathophysiologic abnormalities

Introduction Stroke (also known as cerebrovascular accident or CVA) is a lifestyle disease. It is one of the most common diseases and one in sixth of people will have a stroke in their life. Around fifteen million people around the world have a stroke (per year). Out of those fifteen million around 5 million recover,5 million die and 5 million become disabled. Strokes are developed when the brain is receiving no oxygen. Our brain needs blood and oxygen to survive. When your brain does not receive

and also vascular changes, in matching large and small airways from smoking (current or recently quit) patients with airflow obstruction (CAL). We have previously demonstrated that in large airway biopsies from smokers compared to normal control tissue, epithelial activation, EMT biomarkers and related classic structural changes are highly expressed, and that these changes are greatest in those with COPD [12]. Here we show that small airways from this group of CAL patients also demonstrated active

CVA Patients Profile Patient name: ABC Age: 32 yrs. Old Sex: Male Date of Admission: February 07, 2013 Admitting diagnosis: CVA prob.

Sepsis Sepsis is a systemic over response of the immune system, due to an infection that the body tries to fight. This leads to reduced blood flow to vital organs such as the kidneys and the heart, which often results in multiple organ failure with the possibility of death. Sepsis can develop into septic shock which is the point where the patient’s blood pressure drops to a dangerous level due to the presence of bacteria in the body. Patients diagnosed with sever sepsis have a 20-30% chance of death

The diagnostic process for a formally diagnosing Cerebral Vascular Accident (CVA/stroke), would consist with a number of test including a physical exam and questions regarding your family history of strokes, any signs or symptoms that may have been present before the patient had the stroke. The physician would also order a few tests like a MRI, CT scan, Cerebral Carotid ultrasound, Cerebral Angiogram and an Echo Cardiogram. The physical exam is important to listen to the hearts sounds, take your

Stroke is a major public health concern occurring on average once every 40 seconds in the United States.(AHA) Although stroke patients benefit from time-critical therapy such as tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA), providing interventions to patients within the therapeutic time frame is a challenge to small rural hospitals.1 Consequently, patients presenting to rural facilities have been found to be approximately ten times less likely to receive the therapeutic benefits of tPA than patients being

In 2010, the U.S Department of Health and Human Services crafted the nation’s 10 year health agenda. Healthy People 2020 outlines key objectives aimed at improving the standard of care health consumers receive by improving both the quality and format of health information offered to consumers as well as improving the consumers’ ability to obtain and process that information. These objectives included supporting shared decision-making between patients and providers, increasing health literacy skills

where he was hospitalized for 16 days before being discharged to an acute rehabilitation hospital on 04/05/2016. The member was diagnosed with a right middle cerebral artery stroke in the M1 distribution. A thrombectomy catheter directed tissue plasminogen activator (TPA) was performed. He was successfully extubated on 03/16/2016 after the procedure.
