economic burden is also a huge issue‚ although treatments are available‚ those who are affected are usually from the poor community so they cannot afford the drugs to help cure them. The physical impact is very obvious to the infected because of the edema. It makes it very difficult for them to move around to do their daily activities. Most will have thickening skin and a very strong body odor. Because of these symptoms they usually are unemployed making life a struggle for money. Elephantiasis

distribute between intravascular in blood vessels‚ and extravascular which can be inside the cell (intracellular fluid) or between the cells called (interstitial fluid). Edema occurs when the interstitial volume has increased due to fluid leaks from capillaries or tiny blood vessels to interstitial space‚ then the space will expand cause edema.[1] To understand the mechanism clearly‚ fluid dynamic control should be considered‚ the hydrostatic pressure which the pressure of fluid inside the vessels against

Case study The case study relates to Mr Brown‚ who was diagnosed with acute pulmonary oedema secondary to acute renal failure‚ due to excessive use of opioids. The assignment will address Mr Brown’s initial presentation and assessment‚ relevant past history‚ medications and the current assessment finding that had him admitted to the intensive care unit. The patient’s pathology results and drug treatment to correct his electrolyte imbalances will be discussed briefly. The assignment will discuss the

Are your feet‚ legs‚ ankles‚ or hands swollen? This condition is called edema‚ commonly known as water retention‚ and is manifested by buildup of fluids in the cavities‚ circulatory system‚ and the tissues. In most cases‚ edema is caused by pregnancy‚ menopause‚ burns‚ contraceptive pills and any other pill containing estrogen‚ medications like vasodilators and NSAIDs‚ physical inactivity‚ and poor diet. The symptoms of edema depend on the root cause and they typically develop slowly over time. The

macular edema is a serious complication of Diabetes Milletus‚ with a prevalence of 6.81% worldwide‚ affecting 21 million people. The release of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor‚ which is thought to be the main factor in the pathogenesis‚ leads to disruption of blood-retinal barrier‚ leading to accumulation of sub- and intra- retinal fluid‚ in the inner and outer plexiform layer. Muller cell‚ pericyte and glial cell dysfunction also contribute to the development of macular edema. Macular edema is managed

compatible with edema‚ critical hypoxemia‚ and the absence of evidence of a hydrostatic cause of edema‚ such as a pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) below18 mmHg [1‚ 2]. The diagnosis therefore requires a pulmonary artery catheter‚ although a high PCWP does not exclude permeability edema. Indeed‚ ARDS is believed to result from a lung vascular injury and increased endothelial permeability in response to a variety of inflammatory conditions‚ while hydrostatic pulmonary edema is caused by heart

Antibiotics fight bacteria and the flu is cause by a virus. It can do harm if you use antibiotic to treat flu. How would left ventricle failure contribute to pulmonary edema? The pressure increases inside the left atrium and then in the veins and capillaries in our lungs. This causing fluid to be pushed through the capillary walls into the air sacs. Medical conditions that can cause the left ventricle to become weak and
