Claude Schaeffer Beck was the first to describe the physiological basis of the triad of medical signs associated with acute cardiac tamponade: 1) low blood pressure, 2) elevated central venous pressure, and 3) distant heart sounds.

Fat cells can potentially be used in spinal cord injury treatment by promoting tissue regeneration and providing a source of stem cells for repair. These cells have the ability to differentiate into various cell types that can contribute to the healing process and support nerve regeneration in the damaged area. Additionally, fat cells can be harvested from a patient's own body, reducing the risk of rejection and facilitating personalized treatment.

Hypha (plural is hyphae) Haypha is the filament of fungul cells. If many hyphaare interwoven, it composes something called MYCELIUM. there is also septate hypha- hypha that hace individual call walls. There is usually a small break in the cal wall for cytoplasm to be passed through. also Nonseptate Hypha- hypha with no individual call wall. Because it has no cell walls, it looks like one big cell with many floating nuclei Types of hypha: rhizoid hypha, septate hypha, nonseptate hypha, and aerial hypha

No, albumin is not considered a type of monomer. It is considered a type of polymer made of many molecules.

Yes, calcium plays a crucial role in vasoconstriction. It acts as a signaling molecule that promotes smooth muscle contraction in the blood vessels, leading to vasoconstriction. When calcium levels increase in the smooth muscle cells surrounding blood vessels, it triggers a series of events that result in the narrowing of the vessel, increasing vascular resistance and raising blood pressure.

The reason why cardiac muscle has a longer action potential is to extend the absolute refractory period to prevent another action potential. If too many action potentials stimulate the cardiac muscle it can get into tetanus which keeps the heart continuously contracted without relaxation.

See a doctor. If this is happening during or after exercise, this should not be a problem, however, if it just randomly happens while sitting, lying, or relaxing, it could be a case of heart palpitations. Heart palpitations are most of the time NOT life-threatening and will go away on their own. If they become more frequent or are accompanied by chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, or blacking out (fainting), you should consult your physician to rule out any underlying diseases.

A sickled red blood cell will live for 10 to 20 days before it is destroyed.

A normal red blood cell would have lived for about 120 days.

This is the cause of the anaemia in sickle cell anaemia patients, who typically live for about 45 years.

we all know that calcium carbonate is caco3 when this reacts with water
caco3 + H2o = caoH + co2 as this gas is released is wilhave a thrust in the chest as it triesto come out so you feel pain

immediate and brief vasoconstriction of the blood vessels in the injured area; they quickly dilate; redness, warmth
yes it does if you want you can go to a local pharmacy or drug store and look at ibuprofen and it says anti inflamatory

A common way to measure pressure is in "mm of Hg" or millimeters of mercury. The reason that this unit of pressure is based on a unit of length is because of how pressure was measured originally. A curved tube full of mercury metal was used by Robert Boyle in the 17th century to measure pressure. Briefly, it works like this. Imagine a tube of glass bent into a U-shape with mercury inside. If both ends of the tube are open to air, the level of the mercury in each side of the "U" will be equal. However, if additional pressure was applied to the air above one side, it would cause the mercury on that side to drop, and the mercury on the other side would rise. The "mm of Hg" refers to the difference in height between the two sides. The bigger the difference in pressure between the two sides, the bigger the height difference. Note, that the measurement is inherently a relative measurement (one side of the tube relative to the other). One atmosphere (atm) is equal to 760 mm Hg. This is because if you have a perfect vacuum on one side of the U-shaped tube and 1 atmosphere or air pressure on the other side, the difference in height will be 760 millimeters (independent of the diameter of the glass tubing). Also, 1 torr is equal to 1 mm of Hg. For more information see: http://www.chm.davidson.edu/ChemistryApplets/GasLaws/Pressure.html

Milli means one in a thousand. Since both quantities are Mill-something, on mathematical simplification they cancel each other out. So the measurement would be 160g in 100 litres, which is 1.6grams per litre.

The correct method to decrease the incidence of air embolism associated with removal of a central line is to follow ALL standard procedures with removal of the line. Patients should be placed in a supine position, or even T-burg position. The occlusive dressing should be loosened and the suture removed. The patient should be asked to hold their breath when the line is removed quickly. Occlusive dressing is held over the line as it is being removed and thus applied to the insertion site as the line is removed.

Long-term effects of a stroke can include physical disabilities such as paralysis or weakness, cognitive impairments like memory loss or difficulty with language, and emotional changes such as depression or anxiety. Rehabilitation efforts can help improve recovery and functionality over time.

This could be bad. First, are you doing a lot of caffiene or something else that would 'speed you up'? If so, cut back or eliminate it and see if it helps. It also could be related to anxiety or hypoglycemia (not eating enough). If you can't figure it out, you need to talk to your doctor. Depends on when it happens. If it's only when you get up or walk up the stairs or something than it could just be low blood pressure. Have your blood pressure checked.

A normal diastolic blood pressure is generally considered to be less than 80 mmHg. Diastolic blood pressure measures the pressure in your arteries when your heart is at rest between beats. High diastolic blood pressure can be a sign of underlying health issues, such as hypertension.

Normal blood pressure is given in two numbers. The systolic pressure, or number on the top, is the measurement of how hard the heart is beating at the hardest part of the pump. The diastolic, or bottom number, is the measurement of the pressure at the time when the heart is relaxed. The numbers typically recognized as "perfect" are 120/80. If the systolic pressure goes above 140 it is considered high blood pressure. The diastolic should not go above 100 for normal pressure.

Yes, cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. It includes conditions such as heart disease, stroke, and high blood pressure, among others. Adopting a healthy lifestyle can help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Yes, speak with a physician. Edema can be a sign of a more serious medical problem and there are medications that can help treat edema.

Yes. Acupuncture. Speak with a Five-Element Acupuncturist.

A tube that has liquid flowing through it.

Not usually. You might get a stiff neck from turning your head too far, however. If you are referring to shaking your head (as in the sign for "no" in western cultures), that too should not cause you to black out. But if in fact you have suffered dizziness or blacked out after turning your head, you should discuss this with your doctor. You may have a treatable sinus infection or nasal polyps, both of which can affect your balance and cause dizziness. Blacking out, however, may be a sign of something more serious, and a physical exam will find the answer for you.

In most places, you can purchase non-restricted knives at general retail stores without showing an ID. However, for certain types of knives, such as those with automatic opening mechanisms or specific blade lengths, you may need to be of a certain age or show ID to purchase them. It's always best to check with your local laws and regulations.

Constant morphine can help alleviate pain during a heart attack, but it may not completely remove all pain. It is important to seek medical attention immediately for a heart attack, as morphine is typically used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan along with other medications and procedures to manage the condition effectively.

Atrial flutter is a type of abnormal heart rhythm that can result in a rapid and irregular heartbeat. This can lead to symptoms like a high pulse rate and night sweats. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and management of atrial flutter to prevent complications.
