Part 1: Overview current literature about Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura The first patient described with thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a 16 year old girl that died within 2 weeks after disease onset. She struggled with petechial bleeding, pallor, fever, paralysis, hematuria and coma (Lämmle et al. 2005). From the autopsy in 1924 Doctor E. Moschcowitz described hyaline thrombosis of the terminal arterioles and capillaries and he suspected that a powerful agglutinative and hemolitic
OF THE PORTAL SYSTEM 384-322 BC - Aristoteles was the first person who described about portal vein(PV). 300-250 BC - Herophilos recognized the importance of portal venous system in acting as the zone of discharge for all the resorbent veins from the intestine 129-199AD - Galenus described the portal venous system along with the intrahepatic branches 1597-1677 - Glisson demonstrated the independent nature of portal venous circulation from rest of the blood circulation ANATOMY OF THE PORTAL VENOUS
Relations with the diaphragm and heart liver supplement neighboring organs. The base of the liver opens into the hepatic hilum, which is but the entrance area of the omentum (omentum) lower with the portal vein, hepatic artery and hepatic duct outlet. The omentum (omentum) lower (fixed at a protrusion of the lower side omental called tuber) lining the bottom of the grooves of the base of the liver (venous ligament sulcus, groove
Arteries carry blood away from the heart, and veins carry it toward the heart. Capillaries are tiny blood vessels with very thin walls made up of only one layer of cells. Arterioles are very small arteries which branch to form capillaries. Capillaries join to form tiny veins called venules. Materials are exchanged between the blood and cells through the thin walls of the capillaries. The inner layer of blood
The human heart pumps blood through the arteries, which connect to smaller arterioles and then smaller capillaries. In this assignment, we will discuss the arterial blood pressure from several aspects, include definition, normal values for blood pressure, the most important factors affecting it, the mechanism involved in arterial blood pressure regulation, and the relevance between the pressure and the eye. Definition of blood pressure, it’s Normal value, and the factors that determine arterial
blood is then carried back to the heart by means of veins. Blood pressure is the thrust of this blood in the body pushing up against the inside walls of the arteries as the heart is pumping. high blood pressure, systolic, diastolic, heart Article Body: The heart is a tough operating mechanism which moves blood around the body through a very advanced system called arteries and capillaries; the blood is then carried back to the heart by means of veins. Blood pressure is the thrust of this blood in the
The small saphenous vein (SSV) is a superficial vein in the leg. It originates from the lateral side of the dorsal venous arch passes behind the distal end of the fibula and up the back of the leg to penetrate deep fascia and join the popliteal vein posterior to the knee [1]. This vein is considered the second largest blood vessel in the leg. Like most of the superficial leg veins, this vein features smooth muscle cells in its adventitia and the inner media [2]. Also SSV is in danger of becoming
TIME-FREQUENCY ANALYSIS OF HEART RATE VARIABILITY USING PHYSIOLOGICAL SIGNAL Abstract Heart rate variability is a phenomenon which reflects an influence of autonomic nervous system through the changes in the range of RR interval in the heart rate during the normal activities. The objective of this study is to measure the changes in heart rate and heart rate variability for the Indian subjects and this study is mainly
“An average heart has four chambers; two upper, called the atria and two lower, called the ventricles. The right side of the heart receives blood that is returning from the body. This oxygen-lacking blood arrives in the right atrium, where it is pumped into the right ventricle.” (Blaser). This is the structure of the heart, an organ every person in the world has, and that so happens to be the most important organ in an organism’s body. The heart helps people get oxygen, keep the organs alive, and
the blood vessels (veins, arteries and capillaries) or the heart, or together or diseases that disturb the cardiovascular system. The cardiovascular system, also named as the circulatory system, is the system that transports blood all over the human body. It is composed of the heart, arteries, veins, and capillaries. It delivers oxygenated blood from the lungs and heart through the entire body by the arteries. Blood drives through the capillaries - vessels located between the veins and arteries. When
Title: Introduction of a Flexible Polymeric Heart Valve Prosthesis with Special Design for Mitral Position Layman-friendly summary: The traditional method to replace the damaged heart valve is using mechanical valve or biological valve. Mechanical valve can be last long but blood-thinning medicines need to be taken for the rest of the person’s life to prevent blood clotting around where the mechanical valve placed. Heart valve prostheses are introduced with The mitral valve lies between the left
Blood Pressure Blood Pressure is the pressure of circulating blood on the walls of the blood vessels. Blood Pressure usually refers to the arterial pressure in the systemic circulation. Blood Pressure is expressed in terms of the systolic pressure over diastolic pressure and is measured in millimeters of mercury. Blood Pressure can be influenced by things that we can’t do anything about like race, age, and gender. Normal Blood Pressure is less than 120 over 80 (120/80), Prehyprotension blood
1- Why does the body require continual intake oxygen? How does the body use oxygen? The body needs oxygen because without it, cells cannot function. The respiratory system brings in oxygen to the body, and it is circulated throughout the body via the blood in the circulatory system. The oxygen is a key ingredient in many cell processes, and without it, the body would fail. Oxygen is required for many processes in the body including making energy. 2- Why did land creatures have to develop a respiratory
Transposition of the Great Arteries, Pediatric A good way to understand this condition is to first think about how blood flows in the body. Arteries are blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart to other places in the body. The two largest of these arteries are called the great arteries. One of them, the pulmonary artery, takes blood from the heart to the lungs. In the lungs, oxygen is added to the blood. Then it goes back to the heart. From there, the other great artery delivers it to
vital organ, which pumps blood around the body which allows all of the cells and organs in the body to receive oxygen and nutrients that they require to function. It is a part of the cardiovascular system which also includes the blood vessels and veins. Within the heart, there are four chambers – two atria and two ventricles- and between each chamber there is a valve which blood flows through as it leaves the chamber. Valves have the physiological role of preventing blood flowing backwards through
There are three major types of blood vessels: arteries, capillaries, and veins, and they all differ in their histological features. Arteries are the thickest blood vessels of the three. They have a tunica intima which has an internal elastic lamina and endothelium (simple squamous epithelium), a tunica media, an external elastic lamina, and a tunica externa or adventitia. Because arteries are built to withstand pressure and stretching, they could be elastic or muscular arteries. It depends on the
The measure of the changing of fluid pressure in the circulatory system is defined as blood pressure. Blood pressure is the measured as the force per unit area applied on the walls of the blood vessels, especially the arteries. Systole is the peak pressure produced by the contraction of the left ventricle, which is followed by a fall in pressure, termed diastole, when the left vernicle relaxes in preparation for the next contraction. The standard blood pressure is measured at 120/8 mmHg, where the
The heart, blood, and blood vessels all form the circulatory system, also known as the cardiovascular system. As one of the most important systems in the human body, the circulatory system transports oxygen, nutrients, and hormones and removes any waste products. Without the circulatory system, your organs wouldn't be able to function, causing death. With the blood vessels taking blood around the body, the heart pumps all this blood. According to Ballard, "Inside the heart there are four spaces
Sternotomy/Thoracotomy implantation [5]: Ball mechanical valve – based on the blood flow direction the ball present in the contraption will move and change its direction. The valve will open when the aortic pressure increases causing the ball to be pushed away from the heart causing the blood to flow into the aorta. This in turn will cause pressure drop in the ventricles causing the ball to be sucked backwards. There is no central blood flow through this type of valve. In order for the blood to
Childbirth is a normal part of everyone’s lives. All humans are delivered through childbirth, and those who are born grow into a toddler, a child, a teen and to an adult. While the most known method is vaginal birth, sometimes this does not work because of dangers. The Cesarean section is a type of surgery where the baby is extracted from the abdomen. This method can come with benefits; but with many consequences as well. The C section (as it is often called) is where the delivery of a baby happens
