Research Paper on Acute Respiratory Distress SyndromeAbstract Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome is a life-threatening condition that results from injury to the alveolar-capillary membrane. The condition is associated with extensive pulmonary inflammation and small blood vessel injury in all affected organs. ARDS is considered to be more the end result of a variety of severe injuries instead of an actual disease. ARDS was first officially discovered in 1967. There are 3 identified stages of ARDS

It is a chronic condition where the pancreas produces little or no insulin‚ which is a hormone the body needs to allow sugar (glucose) to enter cells to produce energy (Type 1 diabetes‚ 2015). The state of starvation in the midst of plenty • Pathophysiology: occurs when there is an absolute lack of insulin caused by autoimmune beta cell destruction. Genetics‚ viral‚ and chemical exposure are proposed triggers for development of type 1 diabetes (Wagner‚ Johnson & Hardin-Pierce‚ 2010) History of

can be either viral or bacterial in origin‚ but is most commonly caused by Escherichia coli. The bacterium generally originates in the urethra‚ spreads to the bladder and up through the urethras‚ and finally impacts one or both of the kidneys. Pathophysiology One or both kidneys may be involved. The infection extends from the ureter into the kidney‚ involving the renal pelvis and medullary tissue (tubule and interstitial tissue). Purulent exudate fills the kidney pelvis and calyces‚ and the medulla

Background The United States was affected with an epidemic of poliomyelitis‚ also known as polio‚ in the 1940’s‚ just as World War II was coming to a close. It was contracted through the poliovirus and spread from person to person. The symptoms could vary in severity. Some infected individuals were asymptomatic where others experienced “extensive paralysis of muscles‚ and possibly death” (Saxon‚ p. 18‚ 2001). Polio reached its peak in 1950. Declines were seen after the introduction of the polio vaccine

knowledge of the role of the immune system in psoriasis has had a significant impact on treatment development. Many new and emerging therapeutic agents target specific immunologic aspects of psoriatic disease. (See"Treatment of psoriasis".) The pathophysiology of psoriasis will be discussed here. The epidemiology‚ genetics‚ clinical features‚ diagnosis‚ and management of psoriasis are reviewed separately. Involvement of the immune system in psoriasis was first indicated in early studies that identified
