An LHD-1 level a phenomenon known as ‘flipped LDH’, Is strongly indicative of a Heart attack. 6. What pathophysiology occurs during a myocardial Infarction? Include all four processes. Most Myocardial Infarctions are caused by a disruption in the vascular endothelium associated with an unstable atherosclerotic
Define the pathology or pathologies. Then cite 4 consideration that were used when identifying the pathology. Identification of the pathology or pathologies is worth 3 points and each consideration is worth 3 points. All pathologies must be identified to receive points. Cirrhosis- Chronic, progressive disease that causes the formation of fibrous connective tissue that distorts the liver's normal lobular structure.
Cerebrovascular Accident By Mike Smith RADT153 Radiography Patient Care Cypress College Just what is a cerebrovascular accident (CVA) one might say? A cerebrovascular accident otherwise known as a stroke occurs when the blood supply leading to the brain is interrupted or reduced; causing the tissue in the surrounding area to become oxygen deprived, which can lead to brain damage. This can be caused either by a type of blockage, known as ischemic stroke or by a rupture in a blood vessel, a hemorrhagic stroke. There is also a condition called a transient ischemic attack, where the individual for a brief period of time shows symptoms that are similar to a stroke. About 85 percent of strokes are ischemic strokes (Stroke, 2014).
2. Many factors may affect fluid input and output medical conditions such as congestive cardiac failure, renal failure, high sodium intake and cirrhosis of the liver. Also the type of anaesthesia used will contribute to the input/output of fluids. Wound drainage could be affected if the patient has an un-diagnosed clotting disorder, infection, or an amniotic embolism. A patient who has had multiple surgeries could also cause a lot of tissue damage and could increase the patients blood loss.
Some of the more common complications associated with the disease are bowel obstruction, ulcers, and fistulas. Bowel obstruction is the most common and results from the thickening of the intestinal wall with swelling and scar tissue, narrowing the passage. The narrowing of the intestines blocks flow of digested material through the affected area. In severe conditions surgery is needed to remove the dead and damaged tissue of the bowel. Chronic inflammation that accompanies this disease can lead to the formation of ulcers.
Pregnant women are more likely to have complications because sickle cell anemia affects so many body systems. Some of the more life threatening complications are stroke, pulmonary hypertension, acute chest syndrome, and organ damage. A stroke can happen due to the sickle cells blocking the flow of blood to the brain which can lead to a seizure, slurred speech, loss of consciousness, and numb or weak legs and arms (Ernzen 1997). Acute chest syndrome can also be caused by the blocking of blood vessels in the lungs and make it very difficult for the pregnant women to breath which can prevent the baby from being properly
In infants, complications that may occur are risks of developing heart failure, pulmonary artery hypertension, or infective endocarditis, which is an infection of the inner lining of the heart. As for treatment, there are many different kinds. A transcatheter device closure is a procedure that uses a thin, hollow tube. Sometimes, a PDA may close on its own.
Invades nasopharynx where it replicates & spreads down to lower airway via aspiration of upper airway secretions. Causes necrosis of respiratory epithelium of small airways, peribronchiolar mononuclear infiltration & plugging of the lumens with mucus and exudate. The small airways become variably obstructed; this allows adequate inspiratory volume but prevents full expiration. This leads to hyperinflation & atelectasis. Serious alterations in gas exchange occur with arterial hypoxemia & CO2 retention resulting from mismatching of pulmonary ventilation (gas exchange w/in lungs) and perfusion.
Leg ulcers often develop after a skin infection or injury, such as a cut or puncture wound. Children with sickle cell anaemia have an increased risk of developing leg ulcers this is due to the lack of normal blood cells. Which means their leg does not receive the nutrients it needs to keep skin and surrounding tissue healthy. Delayed Growth Red blood cells provide the oxygen required for physical development. In sickle cell anemia, it is likely that a child will experience delayed growth compared with other children.
As the body ages, the large intestinal walls weaken. When this happens, sacs, or pouches, start to form on the intestinal walls. These sacs are called diverticula, and the entire condition is called diverticulosis. It’s when the diverticula, or the pouches, become infected and inflamed that diverticulitis happen. Because the symptoms of diverticulosis are oftentimes undetected, one will not know if this has developed into diverticulitis, and the severe pain that comes with sudden diverticulitis attack can be a
