How is aortic stenosis diagnosed? • A doctor may hear a heart murmur or other abnormal noises when listening with a stethoscope. Murmurs and noises are due to blood passing through abnormal valves, or to abnormal movement of valves. Aortic stenosis causes typical murmurs and noises. • Chest X-ray may show some calcification around the aortic valve.
2. You have been called upon to demonstrate the technique for listening to valve sounds. c. Where would you position your stethoscope to auscultate: iii. The aortic valve of a patient with severe aortic valve incompetence? 1.
The cough reflex is a long and deep inhalation followed by the closing of the glottis, this causes a strong exhalation that pushes the glottis open and sends air through the respiratory passages. Coughing can occur when a foreign body is located in the larynx, trachea or epiglottis. Cari is coughing due to the mucus and fluid buildup in her lungs and her body is trying to expel it. Question C: Which structures found in the terminal bronchioles and alveoli normally would protect Cari’s lungs from infectious pathogens and particulate matter? Alveolar macrophage protects her lungs by wondering around the alveoli space collecting dust, particles and debris.
B. What is the cough reflex? Describe the process that Cari’s respiratory system is using to clear her lungs by coughing. The cough reflex is a long and deep inhalation followed by the closing of the glottis, this causes a strong exhalation that pushes the glottis open and sends air through the respiratory passages. Stimulus for the reflex could be a foreign body in the larynx, trachea, or epiglottis.
The opening line of the poem states “why do we bother with the rest of the day”, which emphasises his love for the morning time over any other part of the day. The primary purpose of the poem is to entertain the reader and to put across his own opinion. Billy Collins entertains the reader by using literary techniques such as repetition to further emphasis how certain aspects of his morning routine stand out and outline why in his opinion morning time is the best part of the day. Billy Collins offers the reader his own opinion as to why he enjoys the morning. Everybody has their own individual thoughts and preferences to their favourite part of the day and within this poem Billy Collin goes into detail about why the mornings are his favourite.
Pediatric simulation 1. Describe the clinical manifestations of appendicitis with their underlying pathophysiology and associated lab findings. Include information about the typical timeframe for progression of symptoms. Pathophysiology of appendicitis: Is due to a closed loop obstruction of the appendix. It is thought that the obstruction is due to fecal material impacted into the relatively narrow appendix, though other causes such as ingested foreign bodies may exist.
Make observations and measurements of as many structures as you can, filling in your results table. 4. Insert a glass rod into the aorta and observe where it connects to the left ventricle. Make an incision up through the aorta and examine the inside carefully for three small membranous pockets. These form the aortic semi-lunar valve which prevents blood from flowing back into the left
Basic Procedures-Surgical Case Study Format Specialty: Procedure Name: General or ENT Bilateral Myringotomy with tubes Procedure Definition: An incision into the tympanic membrane for removing accumulated fluid, accompanied by the insertion of polyethylene ventilation tubes or pressure equalizing tubes to maintain pressure equalization. This process is preformed on both the left and right ears. Relevant Surgical Anatomy: ear canal, tympanic membrane, ottis media, mallus, incus, and stapes Relevant Physiology: Equalizes pressure with the air pressure outside the head, part of the anatomical structure that transports vibrations that are then turned into nerve signals, also assists with balance and facial expressions. Pathophysiology/indication: Preformed to treat otitis media, an infection of the middle ear. Persistent blockage of the ear, chronic ear drainage, equal librium problems, facial weakness, headache, ear ache, sleepiness, inflammation or drainage behind the ear.
Respiratory therapists do a variety of tasks. They “interview patients, perform limited physical examinations, and conduct diagnostic tests” (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2009). RTs can evaluate a patient’s lung capacity by having them breathe into an instrument that measures the volume and flow of oxygen during respiration. They can also analyze oxygen, carbon dioxide, and blood pH levels by testing an arterial blood sample. “To treat patients, respiratory therapists use oxygen or oxygen mixtures, chest physiotherapy, and aerosol medications” (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2009).
This is something that we all have come to accept to be a very American idea. From Bono’s quote, he states that America isn’t just a country, but an idea. I think that America is also a way of life. America has defined so many things such as music, fashion, entertainment, and even food. We only take the best and combine them together to make something that no one has seen before.
