al., 2010, as cited in Garland et al., 2015, p. 61). As the literature on this condition grew, it came to be also known as Da Costa syndrome, mitral valve prolapse syndrome, neurocirculatory asthenia, anxiety neurosis, effort syndrome and orthostatic intolerance (Raj, 2006; Thanavaro & Thanavaro, 2011). It was in 1993 that the official nomenclature was coined by a team of researchers from the Mayo Clinic (Dysautonomia International, 2012; Garland et al., 2015). It is generally agreed today that the
of Intolerance By detailing an incident that occurred in the village of Salem, Massachusetts, Arthur Miller provides great insights into the phenomenon of mass hysteria in his play, The Crucible. In this story, Miller illustrates how different people react to mass hysteria. Some people participate in the hysteria out of fear. Others think more rationally and try to find an explanation. But no one can escape the dreadful impact of such event. Miller demonstrates how fear, intolerance, and
The Devastating Effects of Intolerance Intolerance is something that everyone has to deal with; It is a nation-wide problem. There are many forms of intolerance and all of them lead to devastation. This is shown throughout history, literature and in personal events. We are the only ones who can stop it. One form of intolerance is religious bigotry. This is clearly illustrated in Elie Wiesel's book called Night. In this novel Elie and his family are put into a Nazi death camp in 1944. The experience

people tend to reject those who are different. In the novel To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee presents a number of situations that reveal the effects of intolerance on other people’s lives. The characters in the novel who were treated with a lack of intolerance were Boo Radley, Atticus Finch and Tom Robinson. By observing the effects of intolerance on people’s lives, the children gain sympathy, respect and understanding for its victims. The children gain sympathy for Boo Radley when they observe how
Intolerance in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn The entire plot of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is rooted on intolerance between different social groups. Without prejudice and intolerance The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn would not have any of the antagonism or intercourse that makes the recital interesting. The prejudice and intolerance found in the book are the characteristics that make The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn a great American Classic. The author of The Adventures
September 11th and their fallout. A distinction is drawn between religious intolerance, which is not the focus of this paper, and outright religious persecution or violence. Similarly, the paper reflects efforts made to de-conflate religious conflict from ethnic and racial conflict, which has been much more prominent throughout the history of the United States. In examining the history of religious violence, intolerance, discrimination, and persecution in the United States, we arrive at some possible
Page 2 Vicki is a 42 year-old African American woman who was recently diagnosed with hypertension. Hypertension, also know as high blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the arteries as it flows through them. Arteries are the blood vessels that carry the oxygenated blood from the heart to the rest of the body’s tissues. One of the main reasons hypertension can be so dangerous is because you may not even know you’re suffering from it, in fact, nearly one-third of patients suffering

This is achievable both naturally and quickly. Hypertension or rather high blood pressure is one of the biggest problems in the modern world. It is regarded as the best slow killer condition. There are no visible symptoms of hypertension. As a
Dysautonomia The Autonomic Nervous System is responsible for the functions of the body that are not thought about to control. When this system dysfunctions, it can cause havoc on the human body. One example of this would be Dysautonomia. Dysautonomia is a rare but serious disease that affects the autonomic nervous system, has many symptoms, and offers few treatment options. A big part of Dysautonomia is knowing what it is, its symptoms, and causes. First, Dysautonomia is an umbrella term which describes
1. Did you notice any changes in the vital signs assessed with different body positions? Explain your results. Yes. We noticed that our respiratory rate, pulse, and blood pressure changed when sitting, standing, and being in supine position. When looking at the three different positions, there was not a big difference when measuring my respiratory rate. My respiratory from lowest to highest is in the order of supine (11 BPM), standing (12 BPM), and lastly sitting (14 BPM). When looking at my pulse
the Old World of community, familial relationships and traditional values, or in the New World of non-traditional relationships, individualism and uncertainty, the struggle for survival predominates the immigrant narrative. Religious and racial intolerance, social upheaval, economic hardship, and political turmoil underscore the causes of emigration, but the New world was far from idyllic, and traces of these scourges checkered the landscape of the New World as well as the Mother land. The earliest
Lactose Intolerance Affecting Students 75% of the world’s population is lactose intolerant, 25% of which live in America, so why is it the American school system looks at all students the same when providing lunch? Lactose intolerance is when one’s body cannot properly digest foods containing lactose because of their body’s lack of lactase, which is what helps other people digest dairy. No two people with lactose intolerance are the same. Some can handle eating certain dairy products better than
Lactose Intolerance Lactose intolerance is the inability to digest significant amounts of lactose, the predominant sugar of milk. This inability results from a shortage of the enzyme lactase, which is normally produced by the cells that line the small intestine. Lactase breaks down milk sugar into simpler forms that can then be absorbed into the bloodstream. When there is not enough lactase to digest the amount of lactose consumed, the results, although not usually dangerous, may be very
The world is constantly changing and I believe that the world is headed in the right direction. Remember all the classic science fiction your father read about flying cars and space flight? Some of that actually came true. We do have spaceships, although they're not the sleek, Star-Wars-esque spaceships we dream of. Now, some of this stands out, and for good reason. Thoughts like medicine, agriculture, and many more have changed the world as we know it. Some are ideas that we could not live without
Most people don’t think about dehydration; let alone elderly dehydration. It is a common problem, in the aging, and often recognition along with treatment may be delayed; contributing to a high mortality rate. (Lavizzo-Mourey, 1987) By recognizing a potential problem early, you may save an older adult from a debilitating complication. (Hamilton, 2001) The prevention of elderly dehydration will deter illness and increases life expectancy, along with decreasing unnecessary hospitalization and cost
Case Management with Hypertension Hypertension, known as high blood pressure, affects millions of people, including children, teenagers, and adults. Treatment of hypertension comes in many forms, which includes complete lifestyle and diet modifications (Hypertension: Overview & Facts, n.d.). High blood pressure can damage the heart, brain, and kidneys, without any noticeable symptoms. The effectiveness of case management can control hypertension and prevent the risks for further complications. The
includes much more than just that. Someone with syncope loses consciousness easier and more frequently than normal people. Syncope can affect all genders, ages, and races. There are many different types of this illness, such as vasovagal, situational, orthostatic hypotension, acute myocardial infarction (heart attack), cardiac (cardiopulmonary), and neurally mediated syncope, with the most common type being vasovagal (Morag, “Syncope.,” “Syncope (Fainting)”). Doctors must be absolutely sure that the patient
The skill of reflecting is a process of making sense out of all life experiences in general and nursing practice in particular (Taylor B, 2004). The process of reflection helps nurses to continually question and improve on the quality of care given. As I am bound by the Nursing and Midwifery Council Code of Conduct (2008), and in line with the Data Protection Act (1998) of confidentiality a pseudonym, Mrs Masood has been used to protect the patient’s identity. During my first hospital place I
is due to blood rushing to the legs and reducing the supply of the blood to the brain, resulting in a sudden drop in blood pressure amounting to at least 20 mm Hg or diastolic blood pressure of at least 10 mm Hg. This may be a condition known as orthostatic hypotension (postural hypotension or orthostasis). This will be more prevalent among those having diabetes. Drinking one or two glasses of water will help.
