My Foolish Heart

“The electrocardiogram is a recording of the electrical activity of the heart. It is abbreviated such as ECG and EKG. An ECG is a simple, noninvasive procedure. Electrodes are placed on the skin and connected in a specific order to a machine that, when turned on, measures electrical activity all over the heart” (Medicine, 2017). METHODS In this experiment, it was used the program MP36. It was placed on the person the first electrode to the right forearm (white lead), second electrode to the…

Overview of shock Shock is defined as a failure of the circulatory system to provide adequate organ and nutrients to tissues to maintain normal cellular metabolic function. In trauma patients, hemorrhage is most common cause of shock. It accounts for up to 40% of deaths following trauma. It is leading preventable cause of trauma-related death. It is important to remember that not all shock results from blood loss. Other types of shock like, cardiogenic shock can occur due to blunt force trauma;…

in particular create an infrascture that facilities the other systems. The skeletal system is containing of over 200 bones, they hold the body together, give it shape and protect its organs and tissues. The cardiovascular system that includes the heart blood, vessels, and the blood itself also called the circulatory system. The cardiovascular system delivers oxygen, white blood cells hormones, and nutrients throughout the body. The nervous system is a communication network of nerve cells that…

CYSTIC INTRAPULMONARY TERATOMA WITH THYMIC TISSUE ASSOCIATION ABSTRACT Extragonadal intrathoracic teratoma usually occurs within the mediastinum but rarely originates from the lung. They are tumours composed of more than one germ cell line and commonly involve the upper lobes. Most of them are asymptomatic with some presenting with non specific symptoms. Presence of trichoptysis is specific but a rare presentation. We report a case of 10 years old girl who presented with…

there will be cardiovascular complications such as aneurysms, which if ruptured can lead to death. There is also the possibility of the heart becoming swollen with blood, which could lead to heart failure. Gummatous disease usually consists of soft tumours often caused by inflammation that can spread throughout the body. They can grow on the skeleton and affect the joints, and can also spread which causes large lumps underneath the skin. As well they can appear on organs and affect the function…

My heart raced. I jerked forward, but the two henchmen held me back. The old man’s lips stretched, exposing his teeth. It was the vilest smile I had ever seen. I would strangle him now if he could. “You have feelings for the girl, don’t you?” the old man purred. Antonia shot me an accusing glare. “Then I think you’re going to enjoy watching this,” he hissed, withdrawing the dagger from Gemma's neck and stroking his finger along the blade. “Take the woman upstairs,” he barked, pointing the…

scrapes along my arms and legs, sweat glistening down my forehead. Blue sparks would fly by me and trees would come falling down. I didn’t know who or what I was running from, but I knew one thing, they wanted me dead. I kept running, afraid to look back at the monster that was chasing me. Ahead of me i could see a clearing, where buildings started to appear. WHOOOSH! I was knocked to the ground from impact and there was a burning sizzling that was sent up my spine. It felt like my whole body…

Introduction The purpose of this experiment is to test whether meditation or yoga works best for lowering a person's heart rate. The hypothesis is if the subject is doing meditation then their heart rate will be lowered when heart rate is a function of yoga/meditation.The results of both activities will show improvement in heart rates, but yoga will show a greater increase. When heart rate increases the long term effects are greater because the cardiac muscles are working harder, therefore…

outskirts of Sydney. When a hooded figure approached me pointed a gun and demanding money without a thought I pulled everything I got and begged him to let me go. He threw a packet straight at me and told to put it in my pocket I restrained but he replied with shooting a bullet straight at my legs. The next thing I know is that I was in a hospital alone. Then I noticed a packet, remembering it was the same packet the man gave me. Curiously I opened the packet and I noticed it was a drug like…

PERICARDITIS Pericarditis is the inflammation of pericardium i.e the fibrous sac surrounding the heart. It may be acute or chronic and may result in pericardial effusion. Acute infections may resolve within 3 months while chronic infections may persist for more than 3 months. Pericardial effusion occurs when pericarditis leads to accumulation of fluid in pericardial cavity. Constrictive pericarditis may occur when restriction is induced by a thickened fibrous pericardium as sequelae of…
