What do you get when two giraffes collide? A giraffic jam. The giraffe’s elongated shape and rather large body size causes it to have some unique aspects. Some of these aspects can be seen in some of their organ systems, such as the cardiovascular and respiratory systems. These exclusive aspects also make the giraffe very different in many ways when compared to the animals dissected in the laboratory. Because of this distinctiveness, there are always new and current studies being...

Thank you for taking the time to read about and address the health issues that are prevalent in the 30th District as mentioned in my previous memo. I would be happy to provide additional details and evidence on the rates of readmission to Dallas hospitals for cardiovascular-related health issues. I would like to use health statistics and data from our friends in France to compare their health care system and lower rates of readmissions for cardiovascular-related health issues, despite the...

Due to the environmental conditions this experimental work was conducted under, and that the study itself is not entirely novel, this content is not to be submitted by MEDI2101 students to a peer-review journal, or any other place, other than submission for assessment in MEDI2101 Cardiovascular and Respiratory System. Background [bookmark: aim]An isometric exercise contracts skeletal muscle of a specific compartment, without the movement of joints. With regards to a hand grip assessment, contraction of the muscles of the upper...

Introduction According to the World Health Organization, Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the world’s leading non-communicable cause of deadly diseases. In Australia, around 18.3% of adults reported having circulatory systems conditions such as heart attack and stroke. Common factors such as sedentary lifestyle, smoking, hypertension, hyperlipidemias, diabetes, obesity and family history have been found to be largely associated with CVDs due to the high risk of forming atherosclerotic plaques. At the same time, genetic factors and ageing also play an important...

Introduction The point of this case study is to research and explore ischemic cerebral vascular accidents and their treatment in the pre-hospital environment. It will include the epidemiology and incidence of strokes, the clinical presentation as well as the aetiology and pathophysiology. This case study will then determine how to appropriately manage these patients in the pre-hospital setting. Stroke is a medical emergency and some of the main signs and symptoms include headache, weakness or paralysis, and slurred speech1,2 Cerebral...

Rationale The research question that was decided was formed from the claim ‘Crispr can produce individuals who are free of genetic disease.’ An article posted on the Morning Edition mentioned that a New York scientist conducted gene-editing experiments which, although raised some ethical concerns, could someday prevent many inherited diseases. Before the final question could be developed, numerous elements from the claim needed to be considered and broken down into key questions. Examples of these include ‘What is CRISPR?’, ‘What...

Summary Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide with myocardial infarction being the frontrunner for morbidity and mortality. Although medical and surgical treatments currently can significantly improve patient outcomes there exists no treatment that can generate new cardiac tissue or reverse the damage caused by cardiovascular disease. With new research being available that challenges the idea that myocytes are incapable of regeneration, a new avenue of treatment presents itself this being cell therapy. Increasing evidence is showing that...

Introduction Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a class of heart- or blood-vessel diseases (Mendis, Puska, and Norrving, 2011). CVDs include coronary heart disease (CHD) known as Ischemic heart disease (IHD), myocardial infarction (MI), generally known as heart attack, stroke, rheumatic heart disease (RHD), cardiomyopathy, and other heart disease (Mendis et al., 2011; Celermajer, Chow, Marijon, Anstey & Woo, 2012). CVD cause nearly 34% of deaths in the UK (Nichols et al., 2012) and is still the foremost cause of deaths in...
