Mr. P is a 70-year-old male with originally seen at gastrointestinal surgical Oncology clinic after esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) at his local hospital showed a 5cm laterally spreading polypoid mass with submucosal invasion in the second part of the duodenum. The pathology study of the mass showed tubular adenoma. Once surgical resection of the mass was considered, initial preoperative cardiac evaluation revealed high risk of perioperative complications. Cardiologist was consulted and Mr. P underwent left heart catheterization (LHC) after abnormal pharmacologic stress testing result. LHC revealed normal coronary arteries and normal left ventricle ejection fraction of 55%. Cardiologist cleared Mr. P for surgery based above result.

The first laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) using keyhole approach was done by Professor Mouret of Lyon, France in 1987, when he was completing a gynecologic laparoscopy on a woman also suffering from symptomatic gall stones, he removed it laparoscopically instead of opening up. Dr. Eddie Reddick reported 100 cases of laparoscopic cholecystectomy in 1989. The classical four port technique of LC as described by Reddick became the most widely adopted technique.
This module of study has focused on many aspects of human health, anatomy, and the disease process. It has included such topics as the human organ systems, the mechanism of disease and the resulting disruption of homeostasis, the integumentary system, and the musculoskeletal system. The following case studies explore how burn classification will affect treatment, how joint injuries can disrupt mobility, and last, how a sedentary lifestyle can contribute to a decline in a person’s health status. The importance of understanding disease and knowing when to seek treatment is the first step toward enjoying a balanced and healthy life.

1There are dangers involved with Gastric Bypass surgery. Case studies show high insulin levels following meals, confusion, shaking, sweating, headaches and black outs. The patients eventually needed partial or complete removal of the pancreas, in order to prevent dangerous declines in blood glucose. Patients also experienced Dumping Syndrome, when the small intestine fills too quickly with undigested food from the stomach which can cause abdominal cramp and diarrhea. Other research has uncovered a higher-than-expected risk of death following surgery for obesity, even among younger patients.

I have elected to transcribe my proposal argument on issues regarding cancer chemoprevention. I selected this topic because reasonably minute devotion has been given to cancer chemoprevention research in ethical writings, particularly in relation to the huge quantity of moral studies in cancer treatment exploration. Cancer chemoprevention trials test the ability and care of medicinal agents in averting cancer before its manifestation. I believe that phase III chemoprevention issues can be less prevalent by simply ensuring enhanced communication and etiquette between researchers and investigators.
A 88-year-old male was admitted to the hospital for elective TAVR. His pre-operative transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) demonstrated a left ventricular EF of 60-65%, a severe aortic stenosis with a mean/peak gradient of 30 mmHg/51 mmHg, and an aortic valve

Mayo Clinic is a hospital that is as well-known by many to be a haven of caring and concerned doctors whos’ sole focus is to give their patients the type of care they would want their families to receive if they were patients. According to Colquitt, LePine, and Wesson (Mayo Case Study, 2014), Mayo Clinic has established a customer service, patient first culture that puts the needs of those whom they serve ahead of other focuses, such as profit or patient quotas. This corporate culture has lead the hospital to become one of the most successful and iconic medical centers in the United States. Colquitt, LePine, and Wesson (Mayo Case Study, 2014) propose several very interesting questions at the end of the reading that they ask readers to ponder.
