Hispanic, thirty-eight year old, Anna Garcia expired due to a stroke. At one point in Anna Garcia's life she was diagnosed with type one diabetes. Due to the potential for high blood glucose levels, diabetes itself is a risk factor for stroke. Anna Garcia’s cardiologist had Anna complete cardiac testing. Anna underwent a treadmill stress test. Drastic increases in blood pressure occurred for the patients during the test. Also, a few premature ventricular contractions, which are heartbeats that start in one of the heart’s two lower chambers, were noted during the test. Ventricular tachycardia, a condition in which the lower chambers of the heart beat quickly, also occurred during the treadmill stress test, for Anna
Almost 58,000 concussions were reported from the NCAA, which represents 1,200 colleges/universities, in the 2001-02 season (“Head Injuries”). That is about 48 concussions per school, and 1 in every 23 athletes. Sports and recreational concussions have become a more serious issue over the past decade. Many parents, coaches, and players deem concussions not serious and resume playing in the game. The increase in concussions, mainly in sports, has a long-lasting effect on the human brain and needs to be taken more seriously.
With a growing epidemic of concussions we should spend more time studying concussions and get better protection in the sports we play. There should be more safety requirements, concussion protocols, and better education on concussions.
Sports are a very popular all around the world, and it is a billions dollars business, that fans gets a rush from watching it. There are many famous event all across the world that fans will pay top dollars to watch. It sometimes put pressure on the athletes to go out there and perform their best even if it puts there body at risk. The biggest problem sports don’t have a solution for are concussions. Year to year the numbers of concussions have to decreasing a lot because of the new technology that they are trying to create by the year but the numbers are still outrageous. Research have shown that the more the physical the sport there are more likely to have more fans.
The Research shows that concussions has required numerous players to retire early. The investigation indicates that countless NFL players that have died have had concussions or brain disease contribute to their death. “A total of 87 out of 91 former NFL players have tested positive for the brain disease at the center of the debate over concussions in football, according to new figures from the nation’s largest brain bank focused on the study of traumatic head injury. BRESLOW, JASON M. "FRONTLINE." PBS. PBS, 28 Sept. 2015. Web. 01 May 2016 “ To the research this many the athletes are playing a unprotected game in which their health an lives are always on the line.
The TEM showed the cardiac muscle structure in the untouched hearts in a Z-shape (a, b), while the regenerating heart cell arrangement began disconnecting and created lots of space between the cells (c, d). The myosin seen in the normal heart turns out to be disorganized (f), and after 7 days the space was once again present (e, f). Around the 7th day, the distortion of the cell structure increased, resembling those with BrdU. However, TUNEL proved that the cardiomyocytes appeared normal and showed no signs of apoptosis. Cells with the PH3 marker showed no signs of noticeable sarcomeric organization, while PCNA-positive cells showed the
A lot of people love sugary foods and drinks. This experiment can be applied to the real world because it shows how something so delicious can affect our overall health exceedingly. Since sugar affects our heart rate and blood pressure in different ways in many peculiar people, there are contrasting affects that can happen to people. For example, sugar can make the human body 's pulse and blood pressure increase or decrease. Both ways can be risky for your health. When you have a high number of beats per minutes while your breathing, that can link to higher risks of heart attack, death, and heart disease. If you have a low pulse, or a pulse less than 60 beats, you may be in risk of bradycardia. Bradycardia is when the heart 's natural
Sudden cardiac arrest is completely unpredictable. It can strike anyone at any time immediately and without warning. The American Heart Association (AHA) notes that it is reversible in most victims if it’s treated within a few minutes. With cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the use of an AED, survival rates increase to 38%.
For this cycle, Cycle three. I learned a lot. I learned about automated external defibrillator (AED) which is a lightweight, portable device that delivers an electric shock through the chest to the heart. The shock can stop an irregular heart rhythm and allow a normal rhythm to resume following sudden cardiac arrest. Sudden cardiac arrest is an abrupt loss of heart function. If it’s not treated within minutes, it quickly leads to death. Most sudden cardiac arrests result from ventricular fibrillation. This is a rapid and unsynchronized heart rhythm starting in the heart’s lower pumping chambers (the ventricles). The heart must be “defibrillated” quickly, because a victim’s chance of surviving drops by seven to 10 percent for every
In recent years technology has changed the world of sports, allowing athletes to properly prepare for games safely, coaches to communicate with their team, and officials to make the right calls. By doing this, games are played more efficiently and safely. This kind of technology has the potential to add years to athlete’s careers by practicing safe training and game time techniques. As time progresses, and technology advances, the world of sports can be completely different as we know it
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 top represents the systolic pressure and the bottom represents the diastolic pressure.
Creating awareness and educating medical staff is very essential to prevent delay in starting resuscitation. Owing to the fact that medical staff frequently be come first responders in hospital cardiac arrests therefor successful resuscitation is a reflection of their knowledge and attitude of resent advanced life support guidelines.
Many lives were saved because of the defibrillation. For this great reason defibrillation plays an important rule in the medical field. Defibrillation in medical science is that method in which an electrical device sends an electric shock wave to the heart to stop an extremely fast, irregular heartbeat, and return the regular heart rhythm. In addition, this great device is performed to correct critical fibrillations of the heart, which could result in heart
