Lauren Greener COMM 101 Class time: 2:30-4:45___ Topic: Leukemia Specific Purpose: To inform the class about what leukemia is‚ what the symptoms are‚ and what the possible treatments are. Introduction: I was diagnosed with Acute Lymphomic Leukemia at the age of two Acute and Lymphomic don’t mean anything‚ Leukemia means something. Leukemia: Just a word‚ to others not a word but a reality. Before diagnosed parents were scared and didn’t know what was wrong. Doctor and treatment.

supplemental oxygen. Mild to moderate hypoxemia is a common arterial blood gas finding. Hypocapnia and respiratory alkalosis may occur due to the high respiratory rate of an acute asthma exacerbation‚ but prolonged or severe symptoms may cause hypercapnia and metabolic acidosis (Karwat‚ 2002). Chest radiography is often normal; however‚ findings can encounter hyperinflation of the lungs with flattened diaphragm if there is obvious air trapping with the diagnosis of asthma. A CXR may be obtained

Leukemia usually involves the lymph nodes‚ spleen‚ and the liver. Leukemia is such complex cancer because there are many different types of white blood cells (Wbcs) that may be altered and change the rate of the way on how the cell is

Acute renal failure (ARF)‚ also know as Acute Kidney Injury/Impairment (AKI) is described as a condition where there is a rapid decline in kidney function which results in an increase in accumulation of waste materials in the body and decreased urine output‚ usually over hours to weeks‚ occurring in a person with or without a previous pre-existing renal disease (Van Biesen‚ W.‚ Vanholder‚ R.‚ & Lameire‚ N.‚ 2006). Acute loss of renal function can be due to poor perfusion to the kidneys‚ called prerenal

Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is a cancer that grows from cells that produce white blood cells and starts inside the bone marrow. It is also known as chronic granulocytic leukemia (CGL). It is a myeloproliferative disorder symbolized by increased production of the granulocyte cell line without the loss of their ability to separate. Subsequently‚ the peripheral blood cell profile shows a larger number of granulocytes (neutrophils‚ eosinophils‚ and basophils) and their undeveloped precursors

Chronic myeloid leukemia Chronic myelogenous (or myeloid) leukemia (CML)‚ also known as chronic granulocytic leukemia (CGL)‚ is a cancer of the white blood cells. It is a form of blood cancer characterized by the increased and unregulated growth of predominantly myeloid cells in the bone marrow and the accumulation of these cells in the blood. CML is a clonal bone marrow stem cell disorder in which proliferation of mature granulocytes (neutrophils‚ eosinophils‚ and basophils) and their precursors

ACUTE INFANT TORTICOLLIS Estee Abrams MA-E One of the rarest acute conditions in infants is Acute Infant Torticollis . The Latin phrase Torticollis meaning “twisted neck”‚ uniquely presenting in newborn up to four to six months of age. Comparatively‚ acute infant torticollis does not favor boys over girls‚ effecting them equally‚ with less than 100 new cases presenting each year in the U.S. Although this condition may look painful to the child‚ they usually do not feel pain.

It can be transferred by contact with contaminated food and water. The inflammation is caused most often by an infection from certain viruses or less often by bacteria‚ their toxins‚ parasites‚ or an adverse reaction to something in the diet or medication.
