that enables them to play their role in oxygen transport. They are small‚ at 7μm in diameter‚ compared to that of average animal cells (approximately 20μm). This allows them to be transported via the thin-walled capillaries‚ which have very small lumen of less than 8μm in diameter‚ carrying oxygen as close as possible to the respiring tissues. Haemoglobin within the small red blood cell can exchange oxygen with the external environment quickly‚ as they are close to the plasma membrane; this again

Clinical assessment and causes Haemoptysis is a common and non-specific feature of many lung diseases. It can be a sign of significant underlying lung disease. In up to one-third of cases‚ no cause will be found. An early assessment of the likely underlying cause needs to be made and investigated accordingly. Diagnostic approach to haemoptysis Small volume haemoptysis is a commonly encountered problem in the out-patient department. It can be safely and efficiently investigated as an out-patient

inflamed appendix by laparotomy or laparoscopy due to the high mortality associated with the rupture of appendix‚ which may lead to severe complications such as peritonitis. CAUSES Primary obstruction of the appendix increases the pressure within the lumen which causes thrombosis and occlusion and stasis of lymphatic flow which in turn causes infection due to bacteria. As bacteria begins to leak out through the dying walls‚ pus forms within and around the appendix. The end result of the cascade is appendicular

Heart disease is a leading cause of mortality around the world. These diseases can range from coronary artery disease‚ blood vessel diseases‚ to congenital heart defects. Many patients that are affected by these diseases are treated with pills that have hazardous side effects‚ surgeries that induce trauma to the patient’s body (stents for vascular intervention‚ or balloon angioplasty‚ etc) or heart transplants that are dependent on the patient’s immune system. The bodies of these patients under go

Forth step is soaking; this is only necessary if hospitals have lumens‚ or more complex designs‚ that could be filled with debris‚ quite bloody‚ or cannot be cleaned at the point of use (Basics). And finally‚ the last step is washing. This step will be done with the help of detergent and equipment; such as‚ washer/decontaminator
