Anaphylaxis: Physiologic Progression and Overview

Anaphylaxis is, by its very nature, a rapid-onset reaction. Patients suffering from an anaphylactic reaction will often go into anaphylactic shock and die if the condition is not quickly reversed. The onset of anaphylaxis is triggered by some outside cause-- common causes for anaphylaxis include bee stings and peanut consumption, for instance (Huether and McCance, 2008). Anaphylaxis can be triggered by both immunologic and nonimmunologic mechanisms (Huether and McCance, 2008). When mediators are released from certain white blood cells that are used in both immunologic and nonimmunologic mechanisms, the body reacts by presenting the symptoms that are commonly associated with a ...

PART 1: Pathophysiology template

Disease: Ischaemic Stroke
Definition:
An ischaemic stroke of the left dominant cerebral hemisphere is a stroke that occurs when the blood supply to the left side of the brain is obstructed. The blood supply contains nutrients and oxygen for the brain cells. For majority of the people, the left hemisphere of the brain is responsible for the control of the right side of and hence its failure affects the right side (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, 2010). It is also responsible for the control of speech and language (Hickey, 2009).

Aetiology:

Ischaemic Stroke of the left hemisphere is ...

Part 1.

The pathophysiological template of an ischemic stroke involving the dominant left hemisphere of the brain is usually caused by the arterial occlusion resulting from a thrombus that embolized from a more proximal anatomical structure in the body that is closer to the brain, such as the heart and lungs and arterial plaques. The thrombus may cause a significant occlusion to the major intracranial arteries like the middle cerebral artery which carries the blood flow to the frontal, parietal and temporal lobes. A left middle cerebral artery stroke will manifest a right hemiplegia and hemiparesis with the upper extremities more significantly affected than the ...

Moreover, localized disease of the thyroid gland itself can also lead to hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism is usually a primary pathology in which there is inability of the thyroid ...

Most shooting incidents in trailer and action movies portray a backward displacement of the victim (sometimes violent) over a large distance. Real life witnesses however may not give a similar account of the event. Viewers may also be skeptical on the way the incident is portrayed in movies. The effect of the bullet on the target can however be calculated from simple concepts in physics given the right or (reasonably approximated) quantities. The main concepts are those of momentum and energy conservation.
Firearms such as guns are meant to deliver destructive energy to the target with minimal energy input by the ...

Introduction

The body is made up of various organ systems which perform various functions. One of this is the urinary system which is responsible for excretion of various metabolic wastes. An important organ in the urinary system is the kidney. In the kidney, blood undergoes ultra filtration; nutrients such as glucose are reabsorbed back while waste products such as urea and excess water form urine which is excreted. The kidney maintains electrolyte and water balance in the body. During sustained physical activity, the body looses a lot of water through sweating. This disrupts the electrolyte balance in the body and leads ...

Brain PET scans

PET scans use radioactive materials called tracers. The tracer is injected through a vein in the elbow or may be inhaled as a gas. The tracer then circulates throughout the body and the patient has to wait for one hour for the tracer to be well circulated in the body. The person then lays onto a narrow table that then slides into a ...

The sexual metaphor used to describe the relationship between the soul and God ought to be taken neither literally nor or analogically. It should be taken in terms of great richness for reflection as per the article. The sexual metaphor should not be interpreted on surface value but rather on the context meaning. The Hindu teachings blend sexuality when explaining the passionate sexual love that the women accord Krishna. The sexually charged love is a metaphor for a spiritual union that is very charged, engaging and blissful. Krishna’s sexual portrays the strength, delight and fascinating nature of love for one’ ...
