Popliteal aneurysms are swelling of an artery. They are thought to be caused by atherosclerosis. These aneurysms are also correlated with the causes that develop aortic aneurysms. The wall of the popliteal artery is weakened‚ and thought to be because of inherited factors. In patients with multiple aneurysms in different arteries‚ it is theorized that there is an underlying weakness in the tissues. The exact nature of this has not been clarified at this time. Possibly the propensity of the

The findings in 94 reported cases of inhalation injury due to massive exposure to ammonia are reviewed; in 35 cases follow-up for at least 1 year was available. The range of chronic pulmonary diseases associated with ammonia inhalation injury is reviewed‚ and suggestions for appropriate diagnostic evaluation are made. 0 1996 Wilev-Liss‚ Inc.

are staggering. Approximately 5 million people are currently diagnosed with HF in the U.S. with 550‚000 being diagnosed yearly; health care cost is approaching an exorbitant $28 billion annually (Rasmusson & Renlund‚ 2006). Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is presently the fourth leading cause of death world wide (Kara‚ 2005). As nurses it is imperative that we educate patients and their family members on risk reduction‚ identifying early signs and symptoms and latest treatment advances

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)‚ a common preventable and treatable disease‚ is characterized by persistent airflow limitation that is usually progressive and associated with an enhanced chronic inflammatory response in the airways and the lung to noxious particles or gases (Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease). COPD may include other airflow obstruction diseases such as‚ emphysema‚ asthma‚ and chronic bronchitis. Asthma is known as chronic reactive airway disease

Spirometry is a diagnostic pulmonary function test. Relatively easy to perform‚ for both the patient and the clinician‚ Spirometry testing is noninvasive. The spirometry tests measure lung volumes. There are many reasons spirometry testing is done. Most common would be to assess lung function in disease process‚ but studies are also done in exercise testing for lung capacity and expenditure of oxygen. Speech Language Pathologists are also concerned with Spirometry testing. The lungs are the power

Uranium is a crucial part of everyday life in the 21st century‚ however‚ the mining of this element likely contributed to countless cases of pulmonary diseases. To cover the scope of this paper one needs to understand what uranium is and why is it dangerous‚ how it interacts with the people around it‚ and what is being done to ensure safety in this occupation? Indirectly we use uranium every day to generate power via fission. The splitting of the atom produces heat‚ which in turn produces steam
