The Xstat is a device that helps stop the bleeding from critical wounds, such as a gunshot wound. It was designed by a group called “Revmedx” from Oregon. The group consists of scientists and many combat veterans. The FDA announced and made it an official medical product on April 3rd, 2014. In the past, squad medics would have to use a gauze and bandages, along with applying direct pressure to stop the bleeding of a gunshot wound, and sometimes even that wouldn't work. With the XStat the bleeding

higher the BMI the higher the HR is going to rise without plateauing somewhere. This shown by Patrick and Nicole’s HR in the last trials of each exercise. Their HR would have kept increasing to a point where the heart can't keep up with the amount blood needed for the muscle. This investigation also proved the other hypothesis we had about the intensity of the level of exercise and it’s positive correlation with the HR. The HR increased substantially as the level of the exercise increased. This can

I chose to summarize this review article to understand the reasons behind exercising a patient with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Prior to the reading, my knowledge of stress echos only covered the bases of diagnosing coronary artery disease. This review focuses on the patient’s subjective complaints and its correlation with sudden death from HCM. It’s common for us to see patient with HCM and to perform Valsalva maneuvers to check for LVOT obstruction with increased velocities. However,

wastes, salt, and extra water from your blood. It also helps keep healthy mineral levels in your blood. It is done when your kidneys cannot keep your blood clean. During hemodialysis, your blood travels outside of your body to a machine (dialyzer). A filter in the machine cleans the blood. It is usually done 3 times a week. Visits last 3–5 hours. What happens before the procedure? You will need a procedure to make an opening (vascular access). This is where blood is removed and returned to the body.

In normal physiology, circulating endothelin helps maintain normal vascular tone. In PAH, levels are elevated in the blood stream and the capacity to clear endothelin from the circulation is reduced. Endothelin exerts its effects by activating two distinct receptors, endothelin A (ETA) and endothelin B (ETB) (Archer et al., 2010). These receptors mediate the pathophysiologic

In the heart there is functions and malfunctions such as heart disease, and it could be caused by, diabetes, high blood pressure, past heart attacks, and they can lead to heart attacks if left untreated, and they also cause shortness of breath, nausea and dizziness, but there are still many more of heart attack/heart disease failures by these malfunctions too, by cardiomyopthies, coronary artery disease, diseases of the heart valves, heart defects present at birth and lung disease such as Emphysema

contracted the disease depending on certain factors. Most of the time, they are unlikely to figure out the cause of the disease. This disease can cause someone to bleed to death if they were to get a cut because they wouldn’t have something to clot the blood. ITP does not have a cure or a treatment that works for all patients. Patients of all demographics have reacted differently to various treatments to the disease. Patients and guardians of the patient also have an ability to choose what type of treatment

There were 6 females and 4 males that participated in the study. The average age of all 10 subjects was 23.6 years while the average weight for the subjects was 156.4 pounds. Each subject had their resting heart rate, beat period (RR value), and R-pulse recorded for one minute before performing the deep breathing exercise. These measurements were recorded using the Wiggers program located in the LabScribe2 software of the laptop computer. A C-AAMI-504 ECG cable which housed 3 electrode lead wires
