Question 1: Pathophysiology of Mr. Jensen’s post-operative hypovolemia

Hypovolemia is a surgical condition that indicates the rapid fluid loss that may result in organ failures. The outcomes of the hypovolemia are mostly due to insufficient circulating volume or scarce perfusion. Often hypovolemia is secondary to hemorrhage the reason of which includes severe internal or external blood loss and GI, thoracic and abdominal bleeding maladies (Devitt, 2001). Hypovolemia involves significant fluid loss other than blood that can be further accompanied by refractory gastroenteritis and widespread burns. Hypovolemia may develop in post-surgical incidence, bone fracture, due to ...

Abstract

Continuous exposure to a wide spectrum of natural light has constructive impacts to not only one’s health but also their moods. The production of hormones such as serotonin and melatonin based on the intensity of light has a large impact on the distribution of an individual’s emotions. This study seeks to validate the role of sunlight in the distribution of a person’s mood and whether a lack thereof has a negative impact on their emotional balance. The paper utilizes similar researches conducted on this issue to establish an argument about the constructive impacts of sunlight on ...

A neuron is a specialized type of cell that helps in impulse conduction in the body. It is a basic unit of communication in the body. It receives and initiates the information reception and transmission to all parts of the body. The structure of the neuron is made of several parts that include dendrites, Soma (cell body), nucleus, cell membrane, axon, myelin sheath, a node of Ranvier and terminal Buttons or axon terminal (Marieb, 2004). The figure below shows the structure of the neuron. Figure 1: structure of neuron (Shonkoff & Phillips, 2010). For neural impulse to occur, the stimulus ...

PART A - (Total 15 marks)

Cephalexin and Gentamicin The mechanism of action of amoxicillin is focused on the prevention of the synthesis of the bacteria’s cell wall through the binding and inhibiting of the cell wall transpeptidases (Katzung, Masters, and Trevor, 2012). Specifically, it attaches to the penicillin-binding protein 1A found in the cell wall of bacteria. Then, the agent disintegrates the lactam ring to allow the acylation of the penicillin-sensitive transpeptidase C-terminal domain. The formation of the cross-link of the linear peptidoglycan strands is prevented by the inactivation of transpeptidases. Since the third and last stage ...

While much has been hypothesized regarding paranoia, it is of the essence to note that it mainly connotes to a condition whereby an individual develops a feeling of suspicion towards others. Precisely, persons suffering from paranoia tend to harbor the thoughts that other people are against them. In fact, paranoid individuals tend to think that other people intend to harm them (Sarkar et al., 2012). As a result, paranoia makes people develop certain behaviors aligned to being highly conscious. A reflection on the lives of every individual depicts the fact that at one time in life, an individual develops ...

The following essay is going to review advantages and disadvantage of pre-workout compounds and anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS) and their effect on athlete health. Pre-workout compounds and AAS are considered to be 2 major enhancers of athlete`s performance in short- and long-term respectively. Among large number of pre-work out compounds like NO-Explode (BSN), The Curse (Cobra Labs), Assault (MuslePharm), C4 (Cellucor), Jack3d is considered to be the most powerful pre-workout compound to be ever created. The difference between old and new mix of Jack3d (produced since 2012) is that older version of Jack3d included DMAA (1,3-dimethylamylamine). Just like ...

What is Generalized Anxiety Disorder?

Quite often, people experience anxiety when faced with a difficult situation, and the anxiety ends once the situation is resolved. Occasional anxiety is a common phenomenon that people face especially before undertaking tasks for which they have little confidence in accomplishing. Besides, whenever confronted with the need to make important decisions, people tend to experience anxiety over the possible consequences of such decisions. In general, anxiety occurs when one is facing a difficult situation, has to make a difficult decision, or is about to carry out a task that one has no confidence in accomplishing successfully. In all these ...

Introduction The importance of a successful research summary lies in attaining a balanced study appraisal. Summaries allow readers to explore the strengths and weaknesses of techniques applied as well as the paper’s applicability to clinical settings. This paper is a summary of Jill Cox’s (2011) study on the predictors of Pressure Ulcers (PU) in adult patients under critical care. It proves that the author provides content that fits the logic and objectivity of scientific inquiry in PU research.

Background

Ingham-Broomfield (2009) states that a good study contains a precise background information that is precise in addressing its basic ...

Abstract

This study sought to investigate the fact that there is greater likelihood of one to falter in detecting the second target T2 after he has detected the first target T1. There had been concerns that participants in previous studies had problems in detecting the second target after 200 ms -500 ms from the first target. The researcher employed a 2 ×6 experimental design; it involved a randomized sample of 49 university students. Using web experiment software, Interactive Sensation Laboratory Exercise (ISLE), the researcher had students identifying letter S as the first target and letter T as the second target ...

Introduction

Music is widely used to provide entertainment and relaxation, it’s impossible in today’s world to imagine any event without the presence of music, hence inviting psychologists, sociologists and many others to research the application of music in various aspects of life. Music has given a successful leap to many industries like fashion, television and events; the list is long however it is important to notice that despite having no direct relation with these industries music has added a great value to them. In a similar fashion, music has a great impact on the fitness industry as well and there are multiple ...

Depression is a common disease which causes the patient to suffer from behaviors and thoughts which are negative and also by certain changes in bodily activities. These physical changes are called neurovegetative signs like body aches, crying spells, low libido, insomnia and weight fluctuations. There are different kinds of depressive disorders like manic depression, clinical depression, dysthymic disorder, postpartum depression, chronic depression and others. There are no specific causes of depression, it is caused by a combination of factors which are psychological, biochemical, genetic and environmental (Lunbeck Institute 2). It is therefore a complex disorder which has no specific treatment which is ...

Introduction

Cardiovascular physiology involves the study of the circulatory system. It addresses more specifically the physiology of the heart and blood vessels hence the name cardio and vascular. Rabbits are generally nervous and non-aggressive and sociable with each other. In this laboratory, the primary experimental variables were the heart rate and arterial blood pressure. The main goal of this laboratory was to investigate the effects of different hormones on the rabbit’s blood pressure and heart rate by means of intravenous injections, nerve stimulation and respiratory alterations. We hypothesized that the catecholamines would increase the heart rate and blood pressure ...
