Complications include permanent hearing or balance issues, anxiety, dehydration

Apgar score by rajeev

People's University

The document discusses the Apgar score, which is a quick assessment of a newborn's health. It was developed in 1952 by Dr. Virginia Apgar and is measured at one and five minutes after birth. The Apgar score rates five signs - appearance, pulse, grimace, activity, and respiration. Each sign is given a score of 0, 1, or 2. A higher total score indicates better adaptation to extrauterine life without requiring resuscitation. Factors like drugs given to the mother during labor can affect the Apgar score. The assessment helps identify babies needing immediate resuscitation and predicts survival in the neonatal period.

Lesson Plan Revised

Photosynthesis converts light energy from the sun into chemical energy stored in glucose. It occurs in two stages - the light dependent reactions in the thylakoid membrane that use light energy to produce ATP and NADPH, and the light independent reactions in the stroma that use ATP, NADPH, and CO2 to produce glucose. Most of the oxygen produced as a byproduct of photosynthesis comes from phytoplankton in the ocean, not land plants.

Clicker questions

This document contains 10 multiple choice questions about photosynthesis. It asks about the molecules used in photosynthesis like water, oxygen and carbon dioxide. It also asks about the organelles and processes involved in photosynthesis, including that it occurs in the chloroplast, uses light energy to produce oxygen and ATP through light reactions, and that land plants produce most of the earth's oxygen through photosynthesis. The last question is a bonus question asking what type of organism uses photosynthesis.

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle that makes it difficult for the heart to pump blood effectively. There are three main types: dilated cardiomyopathy causes the heart chambers to enlarge; hypertrophic cardiomyopathy results in abnormal thickening of the heart muscle; and restrictive cardiomyopathy occurs when heart muscle is replaced with scar tissue causing stiffness. Symptoms include fatigue, shortness of breath, and heart failure. Treatment involves medications, surgically implanted devices, and possibly heart transplant for severe cases.

Glaucoma

Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that cause damage to the optic nerve and vision loss. It is often associated with increased pressure inside the eye. The most common type is open-angle glaucoma, which has no pain and gradual vision loss. Left untreated, glaucoma can lead to permanent vision loss and blindness. Treatment aims to prevent further vision loss and damage to the optic nerve through lowering eye pressure with eye drops or surgery. Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness worldwide.
