I. ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF THE HEART I. LOCATION OF THE HEART The heart is located in the chest between the lungs behind the sternum and above the diaphragm. It is surrounded by the pericardium. Its size is about that of a fist‚ and its weight is about 250-300 g. Its center is located about 1.5 cm to the left of the midsagittal plane. Located above the heart are the great vessels: the superior and inferior vena cava‚ the pulmonary artery and vein‚ as well as the aorta. The aortic arch lies

Immediate post-operative ventricular bigeminy in a patient posted for ovarian cystectomy – A case report. Introduction Ventricular Bigeminy is a type of ventricular premature complex (VPC) where every normal sinus beat is followed by a ventricular ectopic. The characteristic feature here is wide QRS (0.14s) complexes with abnormal ST-T changes followed by a long pause. Ventricular arrhythmias are among the commonest arrhythmias that occurs in patient with or without heart disease.The peripheral pulse

Aging is something that continuously happens throughout life‚ which produces a lot of changes throughout the body. With that being said‚ many changes throughout the body affect the respiratory system. As individuals age‚ bones of the body become thin‚ weak‚ and change shape. The ribcage is affected by this change and can alter a person’s breathing as it becomes unable to expand and contract the way it used to. Muscles in the body also become weak. If the muscle that supports breathing‚ called the

Tear and underwent Left Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction in June 2011. Bonifacio(2010) states that the patient’s who suffers from anterior ligament tear exhibits pain during ambulation. So our main argument for this patient is pain. Pathophysiology Brunner (2010) has explained that the anterior cruciate ligament and the posterior cruciate ligament of the knee stabilize anterior and posterior motion of the tibia articulating with the femur. These ligaments cross each other in the Nursing

CARDIOVASCULAR Dsyrhythmias * Etiology * Disturbances in automaticity – initiation of impulse is altered * Disturbances in conduction – alteration in the speed the impulse travels * Reentry of impulses – cardiac tissue is depolarized multiple times by the same impulse * Speed‚ distance and location can be changed or affected (blockages cause change in heart rhythm) * Risk factors * Cardiovascular disease‚ MI * MI – death of tissue – no electricity

Method • Methodology is performed through 3 successive days: First Day: Trypan Blue cell viability assay: Description Trypan blue staining is a simple way to evaluate cell membrane integrity (and thus assume cell proliferation or death) but the method is not sensitive and cannot be adapted for high through put screening. Short 96 well assay: EACH condition should be done in triplicate or more. Steps 1. Trypsinize one T-25 flask and add 5 ml of complete media to trypsinized cells. Centrifuge
