Situation: Two patients in their 70s present to the office at different times today‚ each with documented heart failure: one diastolic and the other systolic‚ and both are hypertensive. First‚ discuss the difference between systolic and diastolic heart failure‚ providing appropriate pathophysiology. ACEI/ARBs are the only medications prescribed for CHF that have been found to prolong life and improve the quality of that life. EXPLAIN the mechanism of action of ACEI/ARBs and how they affect morbidity

SCD also known as sickle cell disease affects the blood and cardiovascular system. There are six different types of SCD. The following discussion will include cause‚ symptoms‚ diagnosis‚ treatment and prevention. The proper education on this disease will give patients and the public a better knowledge of the common unfamiliarity with SCD. The cardiovascular system consists of the heart‚ arteries‚ capillaries‚ veins‚ and blood. The organs in the cardiovascular system are a vital part of the human

and animal cells have several differences and similarities. For example‚ animal cells do not have a cell wall or chloroplasts but plant cells do. Animal cells are round and irregular in shape while plant cells have fixed‚ rectangular shapes. Animal Cell Plant Cell Cell wall Absent Present (formed of cellulose) Shape Round (irregular shape) Rectangular (fixed shape) Vacuole One or more small vacuoles (much smaller than plant cells). One‚ large central vacuole taking up 90% of cell volume.

Stem cells are unique because they have the ability to generate new cells of any kind during early life and growth. There are about 200 different types of cells in the body; such as muscle‚ skin and brain cells. Most of these cells have to be repaired or replaced once in a while. For example our taste buds are replaced every 10 days‚ skin cells every couple of weeks and liver cells every 300-500 days. Stem cells serve as an internal repair system dividing essentially without limit to replenish

Sickle cell disease is present usually in those of African or Mediterranean descent (Saladin 2007). About 1.3% of African Americans have sickle cell (Saladin‚ 2007). Sickle cell was originated in Africa where malaria was killing a vast number of people (Saladin‚ 2007). The sickle cell hemoglobin is not able to be digested by the parasites that cause malaria‚ making those with sickle cell resistant to malaria (Saladin‚ 2007). This paper will discuss a normal erythrocyte compared to an erythrocyte

ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION Toward the start of my examination I was speculation to break down just 1% centralization of Sodium Bicarbonate in water‚ yet because of a few reasons my examination got put off and till then there was change in the temperature outside because of which I needed to build the fixation. The second analysis gave me sure results‚ yet in the first I never felt that the relocation change that would happen will be so less. The room temperature was one of our reliant variables‚ on

Enclosures: (1) Data Record (2) Data Treatment (3) Environment Impact Research After hours of vigorous examination‚ we have come to the conclusion that calcium chloride (CaCl2) would be the best deicer to use on a naval base over sodium chloride (NaCl) and ethylene glycol (C2H6O2). In order to melt ice‚ deicers lower the freezing point so that the ice melts at lower temperatures. CaCl2 has a freezing point depression of 5°C‚ whereas NaCl has only a 3°C depression‚ and ethylene

The heart is one of the most important organs in your body. So what does it do? It’s function is to pump blood to all the other organs. But the heart can not function alone‚ it has other organs and blood vessels helping it. The human heart is a pear shaped and about the size of a human fist. It is made of muscle and there are three different layers. The outer layer is called the epicardium. The middle layer is called the myocardium which is made of muscles that contract. The inner layer is called

at low temperatures and decreases fluidity at high temperatures. • Ankyrin is a peripheral membrane protein found in erythrocytes. Therefore it lacks discrete hydrophobic sequences. • Most lipid-anchored proteins are attached to the inner side of a plasma membrane by covalent linkage to a fatty acid or prenyl group. • A useful technique for studying membrane proteins is SDS-PAGE ( sodium dodecyl sulfate- polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis). In this method‚ the role of SDS is to coat the proteins
