- A pithed frog in which the brain and spinal cord are severed is technically dead but some of its organs such as heart, continue to function for some time. An experiment was performed on a pithed frog. After recording the normal heartbeats (normal cardiogram or sinus rhythm), a ligature (ie. tying) is applied between the sinus venosus and right auricle. (Sinus venosus is the pacemaker in amphibian heart). It is the first ligature (I ligature). After a while, a second ligature is applied between auricles and ventricle (II ligature). The heart rates record is shown below. What can we learn from this experiment about the rhythmicity of our cardiac muscle? List THREE points.

It is generally not life-threatening in the short term, but it dramatically impacts how a patient feels, and it can have bad consequences in the long term. One of those “bad consequences” is stroke, caused by blood clots that can form in the atria when they are “fibrillating” for long periods of time, and the clots subsequently flow to the brain. We are now planning a study to see whether a new therapy (perhaps cryoablation plus a new drug) is better than a control therapy (perhaps cryotherapy plus an old drug) at preventing stroke or death. Our primary endpoint will be a composite of stroke or all-cause mortality, and we will structure this as a time-to-event analysis. We think the new therapy will lead to a reduction in risk of 40% (that is, a hazard ratio of 0.60). How many events must we observe (combined across both therapy groups) in order to have 95% power to detect a reduction…arrow_forwardYou are caring for a client from China. He denies a complaint of pain. You notice he is splinting and guarding his right side when he moves. He is grimacing and his jaw is clenched.

- which of the following describes the systemic circulation? Receives blood from the right side of the heart, returns blood to the left side of the heart, or receives blood from the left side of the heart.arrow_forwardA young couple that you are friends with gave birth to a new baby. They were told by their physician that the foramen ovale did not close between the right atrium and left atrium (i.e., that their baby has “a hole in her heart”). They know that you are a nurse and have come to you to help them to understand what is going on. Explain both the normal flow of blood through the heart and the flow with the foramen ovale still open. Include in your description the concept of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood.arrow_forwardA patient is given the choice between MRI and PET to diagnose their heart condition. Briefly describe how each imaging modality is used. Compare each imaging technique by identifying their advantages and disadvantages. Is it possible to improve the diagnostic information (better resolution, more information, etc.) that can be gathered from either of these modalities?arrow_forward
- In human clinical practice, blood pressure is measured on the arm, listening for pulse sounds in the pocket of the elbow. From this location, we can measure blood pressure fairly precisely whether the person is sitting, standing, or laying down as long as the arm is kept at the person’s side. If the arm is moved, or if we choose the leg to measure blood pressure instead, the position of the person (sitting, laying down, standing) will dramatically change the blood pressure reading that we measure. Given what you understand about blood pressure, explain why we can accurately measure pressure in any position if the arm is kept at the side, but it changes so much if we were to measure from the legs.arrow_forwardWhich term and events apply to a chamber of the heart that is in Systole Contracting;filling with blood Relaxing;filling with blood Relaxing ;ejecting blood Contracting;ejecting bloodarrow_forwardOh no! TA Tim accidentally wandered into a surgical ward and was put in charge of doing another heart transplant! (When will he learn?) He correctly attached the right atrium to the Vena Cava, the Aorta to the left ventricle, and the pulmonary trunk and pulmonary veins to their respective chambers BUT he installed the heart backwards! Would blood still flow from the heart to the lungs? Are there any real world equivalents to a heart being a heart being backwards in the chest? dtv 28 MacBook Aarrow_forward
