disorders. One kind of feeding disorder that cattle can develop is acidosis. If left untreated‚ acidosis can cause a wide range of other medical problems‚ and in severe cases‚ even death. Acidosis is determined by the body’s acidity level. It occurs when the pH of the rumen of a cow drops below 5.5. The acidity will begin to affect tissues which could be harmful for a cow. Some common signs that an animal is suffering from acidosis are‚ diet changes‚ liquid bowel movements‚ and the quality of milk

Ingestion of organophosphate compounds presents a significant risk to patients and the health care professionals. Organophosphate poisoning can cause permanent damage it may even result in death (Curtis‚ Ramsden‚ Friendship‚ 2007). Patients who intentionally self harm with the ingestion of organophosphates are usually severely poisoned compared to those who accidently or have occupational exposures. This paper will discuss the case study of Joe (a fictitious name will be used for the purpose of

Acids and Bases are two groups of chemical compounds that generally have opposite characteristics. They have there own unique traits‚ acids taste sour‚ turn litmus red while bases taste bitter and turn litmus blue. The term pH relates to measuring the acidity or alkalinity of a solution‚ such as vinegar‚ or even a damp substance like soul. The neutral pH is 7‚ which is essentially water‚ with lower numbers indicating acidity and higher numbers indicating alkalinity. Hydronium ions (H3O+) are

Regulation of Blood Pressure and Blood Volume One way the body regulates blood pressure and blood volume is through the body’s use of baroreceptors‚ a mechanoreceptor of the nervous system. If there were low arterial blood pressure‚ the baroreceptors in one’s blood vessels could detect this. One’s baroreceptors in the aorta and carotid sinus of the cardiac system are constantly monitoring blood pressure. They send messages containing any changes through the central nervous system to the medulla oblongata

It affects the trachea‚ bronchi and larynx‚ causing respiratory distress and a bark like cough accompanied by a stridor commonly on inspiration. All of these factors are present due to an upper air way obstruction.

The two pertinent nutrition problems that Joe has is to increase his protein needs to aid in the wound healing process and to increase his fluid needs since fluids are lost in burn wounds (Namdar T. et al‚ 2010). The two main proteins that Joe needs are glutamine and arginine because they are the two main essential amino acids that assist burn victims in recovery (Wolfe R.). Based on those pertinent nutritional problems‚ Joe has inadequate protein intake (NI-52.1) related to protein losses as evidence
