When MRSA infects skin, a swollen, red area develops, and it is usually painful. MRSA skin infections may develop pus or weep other fluids. If left untreated, a MRSA skin infection can go progressively deeper into the body, infecting blood and organs. Symptoms of MRSA infection can include chills, cough, chest pain, fever, fatigue, muscle aches, rashes, shortness of breath and a general feeling of malaise. The worst and final symptom of progressed MRSA infection is death Read more: http://www.foxnews.com/health/2012/05/08/mrsa-antibiotic-resistant-bug-that-has-health-officials-worried/#ixzz2UnSQcGzS When MRSA infects skin, a swollen, red area develops, and it is usually painful.
Print. This article talks about the variability in the sedation-analgesia and neuromuscular blockade protocols in therapeutic hypothermia in comatose survivors of cardiac arrest. The patient may have renal or hepatic involvement and the medications that can be used are susceptible to complications with the use of these drugs. Metabolism and elimination of these drugs are delayed for an unpredictable amount of time. Hypothermia produces delay in metabolism
NICE (2010) define an exacerbation as sustained worsening of the patients symptoms from their usual state which is beyond normal day to day variations and is acute in onset. Often a change in symptoms necessitates a change in medication. GOLD (2009) state that an acute exacerbation occurs in response to either bacterial or viral infection or environmental irritants. During exacerbations the pattern of inflammatory cells changes with an increase in
In sickle cell anemia, the abnormal haemoglobin (Haemoglobin-S) sticks together when it gives up its oxygen to the tissues. These clumps cause red blood cells to become stiff and shaped like a sickle. It takes two copies of the sickle cell gene for the body to make the abnormal haemoglobin found in sickle cell anemia. Sickle-cell anemia is caused by a point mutation in the ß-globin chain of haemoglobin, replacing the amino acid glutamic
Sweating, dizziness, nausea, fainting, or shortness of breath may also occur. The dying area may upset normal electrical activity. The heart starts a wild, twitching movement called ventricular fibrillation. Then the heart is no longer pumping blood effectively. If this happens, CPR should be administered
B. Inflammation of stomach mucosa 2. Recurrent bloody diarrhea may be a symptom of B. Ulcerative Colitis 3. Which disease is characterized by the destruction of intestinal villi, leading to inability to absorb fats and other nutrients? B. Celiac disease/ Malabsorption syndrome 4. Small pouches of the large intestine become inflamed during which disease?
Diseases of the Immune System Multiple Sclerosis Multiple Sclerosis is a disease in which the immune system attacks the myelin, which is a sheath that protects your nerves. This damage disrupts the communication between your brain and the rest of your body. Eventually the nerves themselves may deteriorate and this is currently irreversible. The cause of multiple sclerosis is unknown. It's believed to be an autoimmune disease, in which the body's immune system attacks its own tissues (mayoclinic.org).
A person with polycystic kidney disease will experience symptoms as a result of the damage caused by cysts (fluid-filled sacs) that develop in the kidneys. The signs and symptoms of polycystic kidney disease will vary based on the type of the condition a person has. For example, symptoms of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease include headaches and pain in the back and the sides. Polycystic kidney disease symptoms that may occur in someone with acquired cystic kidney disease include urinary tract infections and
Research Paper on Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, also known as ARDS is described as a restrictive lung disease that reduces compliance. This is a life threatening condition that causes severe fluid buildup in both lungs. The fluid buildup prevents the lungs being able to transfer oxygen from air into the body and carbon dioxide out of the body into the air. It is seen frequently in critical care and is associated with many medical diagnoses such as sepsis and trauma. Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome is not considered to be a precise disease and is seen in an individual who demonstrates breathing failures due to an essential illness.
By affecting the kidney, it may impair their ability to rid waste from their body. If the lungs are affected then chest pains may occur, especially while breathing. When the central nervous system is affected headaches, dizziness, memory disturbances, vision problems, seizures, strokes, and changes in behavior may appear. Depending on what part of the body is affected will determine the type of medical doctor you will need to see. Most people who have mild to moderate disease will be treated by a rheumatologist, who specializes in the diseases of joints and muscles.
