Do not apply pressure for a long time, as this could lead to a loss of consciousness. press up. Hand/Feet Wounds On the inside of the wrist, move away from the thumb towards the tip of the forearm. For foot wounds, trace above the front/top of the foot, right where it meets the shin. In both cases, do not forget to feel for a pulse before applying pressure. Upper Arm/Elbow Wounds Access the brachial artery on the inner side of the arm, above the elbow bone, between the large upper arm muscles. This may not be as apparent as the carotid artery. Groin/Thigh Wounds Find the femoral artery in the middle of the bottom crease of the groin, between the groin and the upper thigh. This is also known as the "bikini line." This artery may require substantial pressure, pressing down with the entire heel of your hand, to reduce its circulation. Lower Leg Wounds Press the back of the knee, directly behind the knee cap, to access the popliteal artery. Do not bend or move the leg to put it in a more convenient location.

...spaces proximal to L5/S1. Some advantages of this approach include less post op pain and decreased manipulation of the aorta and IVC – Various retractors have been designed to enhance access to disc space – Nonetheless, neurologic complications have been reported to be anywhere from 8% to 30%, ranging from paresthesias to femoral nerve palsy. – Despite introduction of retractors, what’s key is the understanding of the relevant anatomy. Previous studies were based on cadavers dissected in the supine position, and concentrated on where nerve exited the psoas mm rather than within a psoas mm. – Purpose of this article: describe lumbar plexus anatomy, relevant to this approach, with emphasis on the L4/5 disk space • Materials and Methods: – 18 cadavers: dissected in lateral decub position, relevant to the recommended surgical technique – 18-ga spinal needles placed under fluoro in mid-coronal planes of disk spaces of L2-L3, L3-L4 and L4-5, because this is where most retractors are placed, and they remained in place until dissection over. – Proceeded with a meticulous dissection to expose the femoral nerve, distance from distance at L4/5 disk space exposed, width measured at the confluence of L2,3 & 4 nerve roots, and then traced back to the spinal foramen. • Results: – Course of L2 and L3 nerve roots after exiting the neural foramina was immediately adjacent to the lateral aspect of pedicle of the vertebral level below...

...Discussion This experiment was based on data that oxygenated perfusion of NHBD livers will promote cellular recovery from warm ischaemic injury. (Schon, 1994: S159-62) Without perfusion, cold storage exacerbates the injury by subjecting the organ to additional (cold) ischaemia; then, during surgical anastomosis in the recipient, another period of warm ischaemia. These consecutive ischaemic periods facilitate the progression of cellular injury to a state that is not compatible with recovery upon reperfusion. (Endoh, 1996: 110-15) It is therefore essential to restore cellular energy levels between retrieval and reimplantation for NHBD livers. Previous studies have shown that perfusion prior to harvesting of the NHBD liver can restore cellular energy levels before cold storage. Total body reperfusion with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) using autologous blood after 30 min without ventilation was shown to revive total adenosine 5' -triphosphate (ATP) content in porcine livers and kidneys", Conditioning the liver with 30 min of normothermic isolated perfusion in vivo, using whole blood, has been shown to increase mitochondrial ATP content after 10 min of circulatory arrest in the porcine model7. CPB for only 10 min after 30 min of arrest, at 37°C, provided functional recovery of the heart, liver and kidney in the canine models. In the porcine transplant model, CPB for systemic perfusion with cold, oxygenated Eurocollins solution restored tissue energy charge after 10 min ofarrest9....

...Thrombosed Popliteal Aneurysm (acute obstruction) Presenting Symptom(s): The patient’s chief complaint was left leg pain from the left knee down to the left foot. When asked the patient he was unable to appropriately respond to the question due to confusion. History of present illness: The patient is a male in his mid 70s. The patient presented with new onset left lower extremity ischemia. He was started on an IV heparin drip and transported to ED. He was found to have am occluded left popliteal aneurysm with occlusion of all tibial vessels. The patient was taken to the OR with vascular service for initiation of thrombolysis therapy. He is currently hospitalized for left lower extremity ischemia, angiogram, thrombolysis, bypass femoral popliteal thrombectomy, irrigation and debridement of wound, and a fasciotomy. Then, he was taken back to the OR for debridement of left anterolateral muscular compartment necrosis. This morning, he was noted to be “confused”. The patient was stable and oriented until at least yesterday evening. Per the primary team, he did not appear confused when seen at 6am. He was also noted to have a temperature of 37.4. He did not have any labs checked for 2 days, but this morning his labs were notable for leukocytosis of 13 from 9, hemoglobin on 6.2 from 7.6, and Na of 131 from 136. The patient denies any specific complaints, but does not appear to focus on questions. Pathophysiology: Popliteal aneurysms are defined as localized dilatations of...

...Gastric Dilatation and Volvulus in Dogs Gastric Dilatation and Volvulus in dogs is also known as gastric torsion or bloat. Some veterinarians will also refer to this as GDV. Dilatation refers to a condition where an organ or structure in the body is stretched beyond the organs normal dimensions (Fossum, 2013). This disease is serious and the mortality rate could potentially be 20%-45% depending on the case of the animal (Fossum, 2013). In the content below, I will be explaining the pathophysiology, clinical signs, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. Unfortunately, the causes of this disease are still unknown. Veterinarians believe that GDV could happen based on exercising after a dog ingests a large meal or having a large intake of water. Also, feeding your dog a bigger meal once a day, rather than smaller meals twice a day could also have an effect on the stomach (Fossum, 2013). When a dog gets bloat, what happens is the duodenum and pylorus move ventrally and also to the left of the midline. This caused displacement between the esophagus and stomach. The stomach rotates in a clockwise direction from 90 degrees to 360 degrees (Fossum, 2013). Blood vessels connect the spleen to the stomach, so when the stomach rotates, the spleen is taken with it (Elizabeth A. Rozanski, 2007). After this happens, the dog is not able to pass gas due to the stomach being “turned” (Ronald M. Bright, 2007). Having this happen to the canine will show numerous clinical signs. There are certain...

...The Skeletal System Overview Can you imagine what the human body would be like if it were devoid of bones or some other form of supporting framework? Picture a "blob" utilizing amoeboid movement. Ugh! The skeletal system consists of bones and related connective tissues, which include cartilage, tendons, and ligaments. Bone is a living tissue and is functionally dynamic. It provides a supportive framework for vital body organs, serves as areas for muscle attachment, articulates at joints for stability and movement, and assists in respiratory movements. In addition, it provides areas of storage for substances such as calcium and lipids, and blood cell formation occurs within the cavities containing bone marrow. The skeletal system consists of 206 bones, 80 of which are found in the axial division, and 126 of which make up the appendicular division. Many of the bones of the body, especially those of the appendicular skeleton, provide a system of levers used in movement, and are utilized in numerous ways to control the environment that surrounds you every second of your life. Few people relate the importance of movement as one of the factors necessary for maintaining life, but the body doesn't survive very long without the ability to produce movements. The study and review for this chapter includes microscopic and macroscopic features of bone, bone development and growth, location and identification of bones, joint classification, and the structure of representa tive...

...Homo erectus. Be sure to 1) identify at least one important distinctive feature each of the head, chest and femur of H.erectus and discuss the way in which each of these structures is different from that found in modern humans; 2) discuss what the anatomy of H.erectus tells us about this species: a) diet and b) locomotor capabilities. * Head: H.erectus had a significant increase in brain size with a skull vault of about 1000 cc. This size is bigger than all the previous members of the genus Homo and similar to that of humans. * Chest: H.erectus had narrow rib cages similar to modern humans’, which indicates that H.erectus did not have complex guts like Lucy’s and was probably meat eaters. * Femur: H.erectus had extremely long femoral necks which were ever longer than humans’ which indicated that they might be even more adapted in bipedalism. * Diet and Locomotion: The anatomy of H.erectus indicates that their diet probably contained mainly meat and they are probably no longer foliovores. Like modern humans they relied on high protein, meat concentrated diet. Their means of locomotion was a kind of bipedalism probably even more efficient than modern humans’. 2. Identify what it means to be a) altricial, b) precocial and c) secondarily altricial. Then discuss the evidence that leads researchers to believe that H. erectus was secondarily altricial. * Altricial: Born helpless, the babies need time in a nest/den with mothers. For example kittens or puppies. ...
