The symptoms of anorexia, heartburn, and weight loss are common for duodenal ulcer disease, functional dyspepsia, acute gastritis, alcohol related dyspepsia (ARD) as well as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). All these conditions are difficult to diagnose correctly due to the variable nature of its presenting symptoms against those of other gastrointestinal illnesses. In this case, acute gastritis is ruled out technically by the fact that it presents with presence of blood in the stool and the test in this case did not indicate any blood stains. On the other hand, acute gastric presents with temporary pain in the stomach ...

Pathophysiology of Chronic venous insufficiency and Deep venous thrombosis

Chronic venous insufficiency is a condition that describes a dysfunction of the valves in the upper and lower extremities or the inability of the muscles in these regions to exert the required pressure that can force the flow of blood back into the heart. Essentially, the arteries are designed to supply oxygen-rich blood to all parts of the body while the veins are designed to transport the oxygen-deficient blood back into the heart (McPhee& Hammer, 2010). These processes are enhanced by the pressure exerted by the underlying muscles within the upper and lower extremities as well as the ability ...

Introduction

According to Huether (2012), venous insufficiency is a medical condition characterized by the inability of the veins of the lower extremities to effectively push blood back to the inferior vena cava. The venous blood evades its normal antegrade flow path and refluxes down the veins in the lower segments resulting to lower limb venous congestion. Syndromes in this condition are mostly due to valvular incompetence common in the low pressure superficial venous system, although they may also be due to incompetence of the valves in the deep venous systems.

Pathophysiology of CVI

The failure of the valves of superficial veins is attributed to ...

Introduction:

Carbon dioxide is generated through cell metabolism that takes place in the mitochondria. Carbon dioxide amount that is produced is dependent on the metabolism rate as well as on the relative carbohydrate, protein and fat amount being metabolized. The amount of carbon dioxide produced at rest is usually about 200 ml per minute eating a mixed diet (Arthurs &Sudhakar 2005). Carbon dioxide is one of the main products that are released following metabolism and the level of it in the body is highly regulated. This paper aims at discussing the production and transport of carbon dioxide from the cells through ...

Carbon dioxide amount that is produced is dependent on the metabolism rate as well as on the relative carbohydrate, protein and fat amount being metabolized. The amount of carbon dioxide produced at rest is usually about 200 ml per minute eating a mixed diet. This results in the utilization of about 80% of oxygen and gives respiratory quotient of 0.8 (Arthurs & Sudhakar 2005, p. 207). Carbon is one of the main products that are released following metabolism and the level of it in the body is highly ...

Discussion Questions

Neurogenic shock is a type of shock that occurs because of dysfunction of the sympathetic nervous system (McCance, et al, 2009). The sympathetic nervous system is responsible for maintaining the normal tone of muscle and blood vessel walls. The dysfunction leads to relaxation and dilatation of the blood vessels. As a result, there is pooling of blood in the venous system and the effective end diastolic volume is reduced. There is an overall reduction in the blood pressure (McCance, et al, 2009). In John Jackson's case, he has just suffered spinal cord injury as a result of the motorcycle accident, which ...
