Essays on Sacs

Abstract

This essay is focused on reproductive diseases, which are considered to be conditions affecting both male and female individuals. Congenital anomaly, to be specific, is a kidney disease which entails absence, hypoplasia or the presence of fluid or semisolid-filled sacs, known as cysts. Cysts can lead to urinary obstructive symptoms through local pressure. Severe penis anomalies are rare and are normally related to urinary or various other systematic defects. Even though there are no specific cases reported in the State of Florida, various reports have been filed in United States, Canada, among Asian Americans and Native Americans, in Russia ...

Explain what Mucor is and how a patient is likely to become infected with Mucor. Mucormycosis is a condition that is usually caused by mucor mycetes which are typically a group of molds. The condition is rate but in its prevalence it has been associated with high mortality and morbidity rates due to little knowledge of the condition and the fact that patients rarely present with this condition. Once identified rightly, the condition is very manageable and curable. Mucor mostly affects people with a compromised immune system and it may occur in any part of the body where the ...

In reference to the case scenario, there are various lifestyle factors that should be considered during the patient’s treatment course in order to improve her clinical outcome and prognosis. Among the key lifestyle factors include; dietary patterns, level of physical activity as well as behavioral patterns. With regard to this, the healthcare professional should consider the patients dietary habits and educate the need to consume healthy diets such as vegetables, whole grains and fruits (Senkus et al., 2013). In addition, the healthcare provider should foster regular physical exercises in the patient in order to maintain a healthy weight ...

In reference to the case study, fibroadenomas is the term used in describing the benign condition that could have caused in patient’s breast mass. Essentially, fibroadenomas refers to a benign tumor that is made of the connective as well as the glandular tissue of the breast (Sala et al., 2015). As such, the condition is characterized by solid breast masses that are mainly round, painless and non-tender. Fibroademas usually occur in varying size whereby some are small while other are about eight centimeters in diameter. Fibrocystic breast disease is among the most common breast conditions that affects a ...

Emphysema is a type of COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary disease) that progressively damages the alveoli (air sacs) in the lungs and is mainly associated with smoking (Wells et al., 2012). The disease mainly causes breathing difficulties whereby this is associated with over-inflation of the air sacs in the lungs. As such, “barrel chest” configuration is among the key characteristics for emphysema whereby individuals suffering from the disease usually develop a “barrel chest” following progression of the disease. Based on the case study, the nurse would obviously expect the patient to have a “barrel chest” since he has had the ...

Vanishing Twin Syndrome

Vanishing Twin Syndrome In 1945, Walter Stoeckel proposed that the general population of conceptions were higher for multiple fetuses that supposed, suggesting that a twin or multiple fetuses may die in utero and subsequently be reabsorbed without clinical evidence by the surviving fetus/es, mother, or placenta (Stoeckel, 1945, cited in Levi, 1976). Named the “vanishing twin syndrome”, the cause is generally not known. If abnormalities are determined, they appear related to early development and are chromosomal; improper implantation of the cord may also play a role. This paper presents a brief overview of the etiology, demographics, consequences, and tests ...

{Author Name [first-name middle-name-initials last-name]} {Institution Affiliation [name of Author’s institute]} A cell is a form of the miniature factory that encloses a distinct chemical system that is involved in structural maintenance, homeostasis, energy generation and reproduction. Every organism is made of these structural living units. The cell divides and produces more cells and assists in the growth of the organism. There are two types of cells, eukaryotic and prokaryotic. Eukaryotic cells are characterised by a membrane-bound nucleus enclosing the genetic material. The Eukaryotic cells can be divided into three main parts, plasma membrane, cytoplasm, and nucleus (Cooper & ...
