vehicles in causing respiratory health problems . Objectives- 1. Making an analysis/ comparing health problems faced with vehicles. 2. Bringing awareness in my area. 3. To arrive at a possible ways to reduce the vehicular pollution causing these problems. Methadology- 1. To fulfil my first objective I paid a visit to Government hospital. Over there I interviewed Dr Rekha this is how the interview proceeded- a) Me- So doctor‚ can you please tell me about the respiratory problems in Lucknow

Disease in the News Michele Frizzell HCS/245 June 2‚ 20104 Erich Widemark Disease in the News Coccidioidomycosis‚ also known as valley fever‚ is a respiratory disease that can be devastating and problematic to diagnosis if unaware of it. To become infected individuals breathe in microscopic Coccidioid fungal spores in the air. Although the majority of individuals who breathe in the spores do not get sick‚ there are several facts about valley fever that everyone should know. The fungus Coccidioid

Alcoholics‚ the debilitated‚ post-operative patients‚ people with respiratory diseases or viral infections and people who have weakened immune systems are at greater risk. Pneumonia bacteria are present in some healthy throats. When body defenses are weakened in some way‚ by illness‚ old age‚ malnutrition‚ general debility or impaired immunity‚ the bacterial

Respiratory System Mechanics Simulation Lab Activity 1: MRV __7500__ ml/min =500 tv x 15bmp Does expiratory reserve volume include tidal volume? Explain. Expiratory reserve volume (ERV) does not include tidal volume. Expiratory reserve volume is the amount of air that can be expelled after a normal tidal exhalation. This means that tidal volume is not included in the ERV measurement. Activity 2: FEV1‚ as % of VC Radius FEV1 Vital Capacity FEV1% 5.00 3541 4791 73.90 4.50

poor oral health; among them‚ respiratory infections in elderly persons. With increasing age‚ many elderly adults suffer a decline in physical‚ psychological and mental abilities which may necessitate admission into full-time care (De Visschere‚ de Baat‚ Schols‚ Deschepper‚ & Vanobbergen‚ 2011). As frailty increases‚ the elderly is less able to care for themselves which may lead to a decline oral health‚ which‚ in turn‚ is recognised as a risk factor in respiratory infections such as influenza and

Respiratory Function Jeremiah Schmidt - 17456597 ------------------------------------------------- INTRODUCTION The aim of practical 3 under the respiratory control subsection was to investigate the effects that hyperventilation and rebreathing have on ventilation rate and breaking point and to observe the effect of carbon dioxide (CO2) on water pH (School of Science and Health 2012). The results from respiration rate and breaking point were then compared to the different sexes and further

of the Respiratory Therapist” Traditionally the role of the respiratory therapist has been heavily dictated and rather limited by the physician’s orders. For seemingly as long a respiratory therapy has been a recognized medical discipline‚ therapist have had to endure working under this physician-directed approach‚ until recent developments prompted an in-depth look into the overall efficiency of such physician-driven protocols. These developments were an over-utilization of respiratory care and
