SUDDEN CARDIAC ARREST RHTYHMS

 

·         Ventricular Fibrillation (VF)

 

·         Pulseless Electrical activity

 

·         Asystole

 

Ventricular Fibrillation:

·         Most common rhythmic abnormality in sudden cardiac arrests.

·         When Automated External Defibrillator is used on site, it quickly responds to defibrillation.

·         Survival rates are as high as 74% if defibrillator is used within 3 minutes of collapse.

 

Pulseless Electrical Activity:

·         Term used for Electrocardiograph when there is no cardiac contraction.

·         If it is caused by a reversible condition as hypovolemia, it can be treated.

·         Mortality rate is high.

 

Asystole:

·         Absence of any cardiac activity including both electrical and mechanical.

·         Only 0 to 2% people survive from this.

Possibility of Time Travel and The Advancements Needed for It

-
  Yes, time travel will be possible in near future but not now. As, many things still need to be discovered which are needed to be studied for time travel and several experiments are still needed to be done to make time travel possible. These experiments will be hopefully carried out in the near future and maybe time travel would be possible afterwards. Time table is amongst the most discussed and researched things in Physics. It is related with Einstein’s theory of relativity and theory of General Relativity. According to these theories, time is an illusion and is relative. If someone needs to travel through time, he would have to travel faster than the speed of light. The concept of black holes and worm holes are also under study. Worm holes are considered to be the pathway between two black holes. Worm holes were described by Einstein but they still remain to be seen. Time travel can be further studied if we find worm holes and their mechanism of action. The next thing is that...

Treatment of Musculoskeletal Pain

-
  TREATMENT OF MUSCULOSKELETAL PAIN Abstract Musculoskeletal pain is a challenging condition for both patients and physicians. Many adults have experienced one or more episodes of musculoskeletal pain at some time of their lives, regardless of age, gender, or economic status. It affects approximately 47% of the general population. Of those, about 39–45% have long-lasting problems that require medical consultation. Inadequately managed musculoskeletal pain can adversely affect quality of life and impose significant socioeconomic problems. This report briefly explores the background, classifications, patient assessments, and different tools for management according to the recently available evidence. Both pharmacological, non-pharmacological, as well as interventional pain therapy are important to enhance patient’s recovery, well-being, and improve quality of life. Accordingly, recent guidelines recommend the implementation of preventative strategies and physical tools first to min...

MOST CRITICAL HEALTH CONCERNS IN 21st CENTURY

-
  21 st century, the century of advancement and innovation, the century of artificial intelligence and the century of diseases too. This century brought a lot of easiness and cure for many diseases but there is always evil to the good. This century also brought many health problems for the mankind. Man found cure for many diseases but many diseases don’t have a permanent cure, they can only be prevented or slowed down. Among the major critical health concerns of this century, the most critical are obesity and cancer. As mankind moved towards advancement in all the fields, man changed his lifestyle. The lifestyle of most people became sedentary. This sedentary lifestyle became the leading cause of obesity. Obesity, the root cause of most of the diseases including Myocardial Infarction and osteoporosis, is caused by increased BMI (Bone Mass Index) beyond the normal limit due to accumulation of fat in adipose tissues of the body. This fat can also obstruct the blood flow to various...
