Discussion 2: Anaphylactic Shock
Anaphylaxis shock is a very dangerous and life threatening allergy reaction that needs right, quick and aggressive treatment on time. Due to lack of recognition, the exact evidence of this condition is difficult to know. There are also no laboratory markers or any particular tests that can be used in the emergency to diagnose this situation.
According to the Canadian Pediatric Surveillance Program it is "a severe allergic reaction to any stimulus, having sudden onset and generally lasting less than 24 hours, involving one or more body systems and producing one or more symptoms such as hives, flushing, itching, angioedema, stridor, wheezing, shortness of breath, vomiting, diarrhea or shock" (Simons, Chad and Gold, 2002, p.109).
Age and genetics are the two factors that have affect on the treatment of the patient. If a child suffering from multisystem physiologic progression like breathing problem, skin rash, hives, flushing or swelling of lips, is brought to the emergency, then he should be immediately given epinephrine without waiting for the reaction to get severe. Epinephrine using auto-injector is the most effective emergency treatment for anaphylaxis attack. Blood pressure should also be measured after...
Nuances in Exercise and Cardiovascular Disease: A Comprehensive Approach for Men\'s Health Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among men worldwide. Regular physical activity is widely recognized as a protective factor against various forms of CVD, including coronary artery disease, heart failure, and hypertension (Myers, 2003). Nevertheless, the relationship between exercise and CVD in men is complex, with nuances that are critical to understand. Engaging in

Forgiveness on human health. In its simplest form, the purpose of the study is to evaluate human psychological stress that might constitute a risk factor for heart disease. Further, the study will also evaluate the impact of forgiveness on heart disease. However, such a simple dissertation clearly demands further definition. What, exactly, do we signify when we speak of heart disease? What is properly considered as forgiveness? What impact does

Tetralogy of Fallot: Literature Review Tetralogy of Fallot is a congenital heart defect associated with systemic cyanosis, accounting for approximately 5 to 6% of all cases of congenital heart disease and is characterized by; ventricular septal defect, aortic override, pulmonary stenosis and right ventricular hypertrophy. It is the most common cause of blue baby syndrome with children diagnosed developing Tet spells. Sudden increases in cyanosis followed by syncope characterize Tet spells
The success was remarkable, according to the researchers: Even muscles that had already lost half of its mass, recovered visible. (Leppanen et al. p5549-65) At the same time, the mice survived for several weeks longer than their untreated counterparts and also developed a healthy appetite again. (Mantovani, p296) The new study is therefore interesting in two respects: First, it demonstrates that the muscle loss at least in animal models in
