Case Study: Urinary‚ Fluid & Electrolyte balance The cardiovascular system and the urinary system are intimately entwined. When the cardiovascular system experiences stress‚ the urinary system can be directly impacted. For example in hemorrhagic shock‚ when the body is rapidly depleted of circulating blood volume‚ the kidneys are often one of the first vital organs affected due to lack of perfusion. The kidneys are dependent on the sufficient cardiac output that the heart delivers. So when the

Cilia are specialized for odor detection (They have receptors and second messenger machinery □ Mucus from the olfactory glands traps odorants □ Linda Buck identified a large family of odorant receptor genes in rats(1‚000 types); belong to the G protein associated 7-transmembrane receptor family □We only have 400 odorant receptors; the olfactory system appears to use combinations of receptors(words) to greatly reduce the number of actual receptor types(letters) required to convey a broad range of

The theme of this assignment is to explore the complex medical condition‚ anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis is a severe allergic reaction that is potentially fatal. It is the clinical manifestation of a syndrome that represents the most severe allergic reaction affecting the systemic circulation and respiratory function (Resuscitation Council UK‚ 2005). Through a comprehensive examination of the symptoms displayed in the case study‚ a clear diagnosis will be recorded. Connections will be balanced between

Kawata et al.‚ 1997; Yan et al.‚ 1996).JAKs are receptor-associated tyrosine kinases‚ which mediate the ligand dependent activation of STATs. These two protein families are the defining components of the JAK-STAT pathway. The JAK-STAT signaling paradigm (see Fig. 1)has been well characterized for many ligands (reviewed in Darnell‚ 1997; Ihle et al.‚ 1994; Schindler and Darnell‚ 1995). Briefly‚ upon binding ligand a receptor will dimerize. This enables receptor-associated JAKs to become activated‚ which

Analysis of “The Hot Tub Mystery” Part I 1. The paramedics found empty wine bottles on the ledge surrounding the hot tub‚ and the bodies of Roma and Clint Underhill on the bottom of the hot tub. The water of the hot tub seemed way too hot and the Underhill’s had both been dead for a while when the paramedics arrived. 2. The maid should be asked the following questions about the situation: Is the water usually this hot? If so‚ what temperature? When did you arrive at the home? When did you discover
