A cholecystectomy is a common surgical procedure for patients in the hospital as well as a surgical treatment for patients with calculus or acalculus cholecystitis. This surgery usually requires less than 24 hours of hospital stay postoperatively. Nurses’ postoperative care for the patients is frequently anesthetic recovery and analgesic management. Certain factors regarding care and treatment can improve the patient’s health outcomes. Two types of surgeries may be performed for a cholecystectomy
Many people find themselves where there is a geographical barrier between their next goal. They might be riding on a golf cart and find a pond between them and their next hole, or there might be an annoying hill they have to climb up to sled? Well their worries are no more for a hovercraft is a very versatile vehicle which can move over water and scale hills! Hovercrafts have been in the midst of human life for over 60 years. The idea first patented in 1952 and was derived from a British invention
panels, while not particularly heavy, can be awkward to handle and carry, and the wind can catch them. Use good lifting techniques and body position when you lift or move the panels. Installation often requires working at unusual angles while accessing duct systems. Eye protection Making minor modifications to the panel system or routing out for the insulation can create airborne dust and particulates. Wear safety glasses with side shields (Z87-1). In windy conditions, you might need to wear mono-goggles

stored hardens into pieces of stone like material. Also, gallstones can form anywhere in the intrahepatic, hepatic, common bile, or cystic ducts. The liquid, called bile is used to help the body digest fats. Bile is made in the liver, and then stored in the gallbladder until the body needs to digest fat. At that time, the gallbladder contracts and pushes the bile into a duct which carries it to the small intestine, where it helps with assimilation. Gallstones are yellow liquid made of fats and cholesterol
Cystic Fibrosis (CF) Pathophysiology: Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease of the secretory glands that affects the respiratory and digestive system. It mainly effects the lungs, pancreas, liver, intestines, sinuses, and reproductive organs. Cystic fibrosis effects the cells that produce sweat, mucus, and digestive fluids. Mucus becomes thick and sticky causing build-up in the lungs and blocking airways; making it easier for bacteria to develop. This prompts repeated lung infections and can cause
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a disease that is caused by a defective gene that is inherited from both parents. The defective gene causes a person’s body to release thick sticky mucus which subsequently causes the patient’s airways to be blocked. Cystic fibrosis is a chronic respiratory disease with typical symptoms being digestion, wheezing, lung infection, stuffy nose, and a persistent cough. In 1938 an American Pathologist, Dr. Dorothy Anderson, was the first to identify and document cystic fibrosis
Cystic fibrosis is a chronic, inherited, life threatening disease that affects organs in the body, because of sticky and thick mucus buildup on organs. The organs that are affected are the liver, lungs, pancreas, and intestine, which does damage to the respiratory, digestive and reproductive systems (Crosta). Cystic fibrosis is caused by a mutation in a gene called cystic fibrosis trans-membrane regulator, also called CFTR, which has an important function of creating sweat, mucus and digestive juices
Cystic Fibrosis is an autosomal recessive genetic disease affecting the exocrine glands and progressively gets worse over time. The production of unusually thick mucus is formed causing blockages of the pancreatic ducts, intestines, and bronchi. Though it majorly affects the respiratory and digestive systems, sweat glands and the reproductive system are affected too. “The result is malnutrition, poor growth, numerous respiratory infections and breathing difficulties” (Interactive Health Tutorials:
Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease; it is passed down through families. Cystic Fibrosis causes sticky mucus to build up in lungs, digestive track, and other areas of the body. The mucus clogs can lead to life threatening mucus infections. {Board, A.D.A.M. Editorial. Cystic fibrosis. U.S. National Library of Medicine, 16 May 2012. Web. 11 Jan. 2014.} Some of the most common symptoms of Cystic Fibrosis are salty skin, wheezing or shortness of breath, and persistent cough, sometimes with thick mucus
Desiree Smith 30104997 Cystic Fibrosis Cystic Fibrosis is an inherited disease characterized by the buildup of thick, sticky mucous that can cause severe damage to the body’s organs. Mucous is usually a slippery substance that lubricates and protects the linings of the airway, digestive system, reproductive system and other organs and tissue. Problems with digestion can lead to diarrhea, malnutrition, poor growth, and weight-loss. Due to the abnormally thick mucous it can can clog airways, leading
DEADLY JUSTICE Prologue The full moon shined revealing the man’s face. He stepped back until darkness sheltered him. Lights in the bar dimmed. He saw her shadow pass the window obscured by the Miller Lite sign. He sneered, he was about to extinguish her light. He chose this bar because of the sign. True there were other bars with the Miller Lite signs in their window. However, this was the only one in Washington D.C. where the barmaid was named Miller; at least as far as he knew.

world can be fixed with one of two items; if it moves and it shouldn't, use duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. The product we chose for this assignment is duct tape. In this paper we will discuss what duct tape is used for, who creates and supplies duct tape, what duct tape does, why we think duct tape is useful and how we think duct tape will be around and useful in five years. Since it was invented, duct tape has been used for many other purposes. In fact, it has so many now that
Critical Lens Essay John Steinbeck once stated, “It is the responsibility of the writer to expose our many grievous faults and failures and to hold up to the light our dark and dangerous dreams, for the purpose of improvement.” In others words, people should expose the many flaws and failures that every human has. By revealing them and making it eye-catching, that person can recognize that flaw and work to improve their flaws and failures. The journalistic novel Random Family by Adriene Nicole LeBlanc
To prevent the material between the vent holes from ripping, you can use duct tape to reinforce the holes. XI. Flip the hovercraft over so the plastic sheet is now on the bottom. XII. Place the leaf blower into the hole that was cut for it on the top of the hovercraft and turn it on. You may need to lift the wood off the ground slightly to let the air flow into the plastic skirt. XIII. Seal the hole around the blower with duct tape if too much air is escaping. XIV. To test the hovercraft, place it
While cystic fibrosis (CF) is not a new disease, there is still a lot to learn about it. In 1938 a pathologist, Dr Dorothy Andersen, provided the first clear description of cystic fibrosis. Before this time there had been reports of people that had the symptoms of someone with CF. During the seventeenth century children with the symptoms of CF were thought to be bewitched and their life expectancy was very short. Dr Dorothy Andersen gave this disease its name because cystic fibrosis refers to the
hereditary. One hereditary disease that can be particularly tragic is cystic fibrosis. Cystic fibrosis is a particularly fatal disease, it affects primarily young children and adolescents but a diagnosis later in life is not unheard of. “It is an inherited disease of the secretary glands” ("What is cystic," 2011) that can affect many of the body's organs, most characteristically the lungs. One of the reasons CF (the short form for cystic fibrosis) is so life-threatening is because of the amount of organs
According to the Cystic Foundation Patient Registry, in the United States more than 30,000 people are living with cystic fibrosis and more than 70,000 worldwide. In order to inherit the cystic fibrosis gene both parents must have at least one copy. People with only one copy of the defective cystic fibrosis gene are called carriers. Genes are coded DNA instructions that control the production of proteins within the cell (Miller and Levine 300). When two cystic fibrosis carriers have a child that child
A First Look at Cystic Fibrosis… One of the most chronic lung diseases which is becoming more and more apparent in typical young children around the world, though mostly Europe, and is somewhat apparent in adults is the genetic disease, Cystic Fibrosis (CF). The name itself comes from the genetically mutated protein that is known as Cystic Fibrosis trans-membrane conductance regulator (CFTR). The disease was first introduced and thoroughly explained by Dr. Dorothy Andersen in 1938. She brilliantly
It was a bright and sunny day, the skies clear, and everything was right in the world. Just an ordinary day nothing special, but if only that were true. The day may have been clear, but the hearts of a few hand full of people were not. Instead they were shrouded in darkness and despair, for the one we all had loved has left this world and us behind. People came from far and wide to see her one last time, to see my grandmother’s face one last time. When I heard the news of what had happened, at first
