system I chose regarding immobility was the urinary system. In an immobile patient there are four main hazards with the urinary system: calculi‚ retention‚ incontinence and infection. Immobility also predisposes the patient to renal calculi‚ or kidney stones. Calcium is released from bone demineralization‚ due to this and urinary stasis or immobility‚ the precipitation of calcium occurs forming calculi or stones. Renal calculi are also a consequence of urinary retention and incontinence resulting

Title: “Retrocaval ureter or Preureteral vena cava: lest we forget this rare cause of hydronephrosis” Abstract: Retrocaval ureter or circumcaval ureter is a rare congenital abnormality arising from dysgenesis of the inferior vena cava (IVC) that results in the right ureter coursing behind and medial to the IVC. The ideal nomenclature for the anomaly is preureteral vena cava‚ keeping in mind the aberrant embryology. It can result in hydronephrosis and is a rare cause of long-standing cyclical pain

LABORATORY REPORT RENAL PHYSIOLOGY INTRODUCTION: The kidneys‚ which maintain the purity and constancy of our internal fluids‚ are perfect examples of homeostatic organs. They regulate the chemical content the pH and osmotic pressure of the blood. Kidneys filter gallons of fluid from the bloodstream. They then process this filtrate‚ allowing wastes and excess ions to leave the body in urine while returning needed substances to the blood in just the right proportions. Factors that affect urine

The urinary elimination depends on effective functioning of kidneys‚ ureters‚ bladder and urethra (Kozier et al. 2008).Urine is produced by

Alonzo‚ Abigail S. B.S. Bio 3 Microbiology February 21‚ 2013 LEPTOSPIROSIS Leptospirosis is a bacterial infection caused by long‚ thin‚ motile spirochetes belonging to the genus Leptospira‚ family Leptospiraceae‚ and order Spirochaetales. These spirochetes are finely coiled‚ thin‚ motile‚ obligate‚ slow-growing anaerobes. Their flagella allow them to burrow into tissue. More recent work has identified 7 distinct species of pathogenic leptospires‚ which appear as more than 250 serologic

parts like heart‚ lungs liver and many more could be a lifesaver. Furthermore‚ when the organ failed to function well‚ it may be replaced with the cloned organs. Moreover‚ the doctors can clone identical organs like kidney so that the patient will not face risk of rejection of the kidney after operation. Thus‚ it will be safer and directly benefit the patients. In the case of accident victims‚ or transplant patients‚ obtaining the needed tissues‚ or organ parts in a timely manner can mean the difference

KETOACIDOSIS Preparation Questions 1. Describe the pathophysiologic changes in DKA. The lack of available insulin results in a disorder in the metabolism of carbs‚ protein‚ and fat. Because they are attempting to rid the body of excess glucose‚ the kidneys excrete the glucose along with water and electrolytes (esp. sodium and potassium). The fatty acids are converted into ketone bodies by the liver. Ketone bodies are acidic; their accumulation in the circulation due to lack of insulin leads to metabolic
