This document provides information about lung transplants. It begins by describing what lungs are and their function. It then discusses reasons for needing a lung transplant, including various lung diseases. The basic procedure for a lung transplant is outlined, including removing the damaged lungs and replacing them with donor lungs. Both the advantages and disadvantages of lung transplants are mentioned. The document also touches on cultural and economic issues related to organ transplants.
The document discusses the structure and function of the spine and factors that influence posture. It details the 33 vertebrae and their arrangement into curves. Proper posture depends on balance between the spine's passive (bones/ligaments), active (muscles), and neural control systems. Muscle endurance, limb positioning, breathing, and intra-abdominal pressure all impact spinal stability and alignment. Maintaining stability requires anticipatory muscle activation in response to forces.
Rebecca McGehee is organizing a blood drive for her senior project. She will plan and coordinate a blood drive through LifeSouth to gain experience for her future career in nursing. Successful blood drives require advertising donors, setting up stations for registration, donation, and recovery, and ensuring safety procedures are followed. Organizing the logistics of a blood drive provides experience with management, an important skill for nursing.
This document summarizes a speech about increasing organ donations. It discusses how becoming an organ donor through organ donor registries takes less than 5 minutes but myths discourage signups. Only 38% of Americans are donors but coverage could reach nearly 100% if 48% donated. The speech proposes an incentive system where prioritizing donors for their own transplants could motivate more to register without costing extra after death. With the current system, 18 people die daily awaiting transplants.
This document summarizes an essay analyzing the economics behind physician-assisted suicide. It discusses how legalizing PAS could lead to significant cost savings in healthcare by avoiding expensive end-of-life care costs. It presents concerns that patients may feel pressure from healthcare providers, families, or themselves to choose PAS to save money. However, from an economic perspective, legalizing PAS respects individual choice and leads to more efficient allocation of limited healthcare resources. The document applies concepts like marginal costs and benefits, opportunity costs, and externalities to analyze the issue from an economic framework.
The document is a student requesting a grade of 6 for a synthesis paper on social entrepreneurship. The student argues they deserve a high grade because they provided in-depth information on social entrepreneurship and examples in their paper. They created 3 designs, evaluated the pros and cons of each, and provided a reasoned choice for their final design. The student followed the design cycle process, including daily reflections and focusing their project on a social entrepreneur who makes accessories from plastic waste. Feedback suggested improving the video portion by making it more interesting.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.

Lung transplantation involves surgically removing one or both diseased lungs and replacing them with healthy donor lungs. The first lung transplant was performed in 1963 but survival rates have improved with advances in medication and treatment. Lung transplantation can prolong life for those with fatal lung diseases and improve quality of life by increasing energy levels. However, risks include death during or soon after surgery, donor organ rejection requiring lifelong immunosuppressant drugs, and low survival rates compared to other organ transplants.
The document summarizes the human movement, respiratory, circulatory, and digestive systems. It describes the key organs in each system, such as muscles, bones, and joints in the movement system. It explains how each system functions, for example how gas exchange occurs in the lungs and oxygenated blood is transported by the circulatory system. It also lists some common abnormalities and disorders that can affect each bodily system.
This document discusses various breathing exercises used in airway clearance therapy. It describes techniques like diaphragmatic breathing, pursed lip breathing, and segmental breathing. Diaphragmatic breathing aims to strengthen the diaphragm muscle and improve gas exchange. Pursed lip breathing is designed to make breaths more effective for those with lung conditions like COPD by slowing respiration. Segmental breathing consciously directs breathing to specific chest segments to promote lung expansion. Precautions and procedures are provided for safely performing these exercises.
This document discusses anatomy, physiology, and related topics. It begins by defining anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology. It then discusses the subdivisions and levels of structural organization of anatomy and physiology, including gross anatomy, microscopic anatomy, developmental anatomy, neurophysiology, pathological anatomy, cellular physiology, and more. Next, it covers the major body systems and directions terms used in anatomy. It concludes by discussing topics like homeostasis, body cavities, abdominal regions, and regional body terms.
Stem cell research has potential benefits but also ethical issues. Experiments on mice and rats showed stem cells can positively impact osteoarthritic joints. A 2012 study introduced stem cells to mice with osteoarthritis (OA) and found it reduced joint thickness. While studies on animals don't prove effects on humans, they indicate stem cell treatment could help OA if tested properly in clinical trials. A 2012 study injected stem cells from bone marrow into 6 women with severe knee OA, finding it decreased pain and improved walking for 6 months. However, 3 patients saw declines after 6 months. Further research is still needed but stem cells may help treat OA.

The passage discusses respiration for life and respiration for speech. Respiration for life is a passive, unconscious process that oxygenates blood and removes carbon dioxide through ventilation, distribution, perfusion, and diffusion. Respiration for speech is an active process requiring conscious effort. The respiration cycle is altered to maintain appropriate pressures and volumes for speech. Specific thoracic and abdominal muscles are involved in forced expiration for speech that are different from those used for passive respiration during life.
The Pulmonary system - Artificial organ 2.pptxHusseinMishbak
The pulmonary system, also known as the respiratory system, allows us to breathe by bringing oxygen into the body and removing carbon dioxide. It includes the lungs, airways, blood vessels, and respiratory muscles. The lungs contain millions of alveoli where gas exchange occurs between the blood and air. Lung diseases such as asthma, COPD, and lung cancer can damage the lungs and impair their ability to oxygenate the blood and remove carbon dioxide, potentially leading to hypoxia, hypercapnia, and other health issues. Lung transplantation and artificial lungs can provide life-saving treatment for patients with end-stage lung disease.
Chest physiotherapy is a group of treatments used to clear excess mucus from the lungs through techniques like postural drainage, percussion, vibration, and deep breathing exercises. Postural drainage uses gravity and positioning to drain mucus into the throat where it can be coughed or suctioned out. Percussion and vibration help break up thick secretions so they can be more easily removed. Chest physiotherapy is indicated when a patient has excessive mucus, a reduced cough, or signs of retained secretions on imaging. It aims to improve lung function and oxygen intake. Outcomes are monitored through changes in sputum, breath sounds, vital signs, imaging and blood oxygen levels. Risks include low oxygen, increased intracranial
This document summarizes evidence-based recommendations for respiratory management following spinal cord injury (SCI). Some key points:
- Exercise training can improve respiratory function, but the intensity must be high (70-80% maximum heart rate), performed 3 times per week for 6 weeks. Ideal training regimes have not been identified.
- There is limited evidence that inspiratory muscle training improves respiratory muscle strength or endurance in people with SCI.
- Various pharmaceutical interventions, assistive devices, and other treatments like inspiratory muscle training may provide some benefits but more research is still needed to establish their long-term effects and ideal usage.
This document provides an overview of Chapter 20 on respiratory disorders from the textbook "Advanced EMT: A Clinical-Reasoning Approach, 2nd Edition". It begins with objectives for understanding key terms, recognizing respiratory emergencies, assessing patients with respiratory issues, and treating respiratory disorders. It then reviews anatomy and physiology of respiration and signs of respiratory distress, failure, and arrest. Finally, it discusses general assessment and management of respiratory emergencies, focusing on maintaining airway, breathing, oxygenation and circulation while treating the underlying cause.
To be honest, there might be a lot of respiratory diseases that can widely affect your daily life. To get rid of this, it is important to understand the anatomy or respiratory system in your body.

The Six Day War began on June 5, 1967 when Israel launched a surprise air attack on Egyptian, Syrian and Jordanian air forces, destroying over 400 Arab planes. Within a few days, Israel gained control of the Gaza Strip, Sinai Peninsula, West Bank, and Golan Heights. This doubled Israel's size and weakened its Arab neighbors, who lost thousands of soldiers and hundreds of tanks. The war heightened tensions and displaced many Palestinians, placing the occupied territories under Israeli control.
Banksy created a satirical graffiti artwork on the West Bank Barrier depicting a young girl searching a soldier. The piece aims to ironically portray the roles of Palestinians and Israelis swapped. It highlights the daily hardship Palestinians face with their lands cut off and strict controls at Barrier crossings, while Israelis feel protected by the Barrier. Banksy uses his signature stencil and spray paint technique to create the lifelike figures and convey the theme of switched roles and irony regarding the conflict.
This document is a collage of pictures and headlines showing the consequences of various conflicts around the world. The first set shows pictures related to the conflict in Libya involving Gaddafi and his government. The second set shows people protesting the Keystone XL oil pipeline in the US. The third set depicts terrorist attacks including 9/11 and the Mumbai attacks carried out by Al-Qaeda and Lashkar-e-Taiba. The overall theme is that conflicts, regardless of size or type, can have horrific and dreadful consequences, including political unrest, protests, revolution, and loss of life from terrorist attacks.
The student letter proposes installing additional hygiene features throughout Beijing BISS International School to improve cleanliness. It requests installing 20 hand sanitizers around campus and providing extra supplies in bathrooms like deodorant, air fresheners, antibacterial soap, and paper towels. The students believe these changes would boost hygiene, create a better impression, and benefit the school community by reducing disease transmission. Fulfilling the proposal would require approval from administrators and facility staff, budgeting funds, and purchasing supplies from vendors.

options.
But
if
the
transplant
is
needed
then
to
get
the
transplant,
there
needs
to
be
many
things
that
need
to
be
considered
and
checked
like;
(see
figure
2
for
before
the
transplant
procedure)
donation
of
new
lungs
by
a
person
who
has
been
declared
brain-‐dead
but
remains
on
life-‐support.
The
donor’s
tissue
must
be
matched
as
closely
as
possible
to
that
recipients’
to
reduce
the
chances
of
transplantation
tissue
being
rejected.
When
the
recipient
is
unconscious
and
pain-‐
free,
an
incision
is
made
on
the
chest.
Tubes
are
used
to
re-‐route
blood
to
the
heart-‐
lung
bypass
machine
to
provide
oxygen
during
the
surgery.
(Lung
Transplant,
2008)
One
or
both
lung
could
be
removed,
and
the
donor’s
lungs
are
stitched.
Chest
tubes
are
inserted
to
drain
out
air,
fluid,
and
blood
out
of
the
chest
for
several
days
so
the
lungs
can
fully
re-‐expand
and
recover.
Sometimes
heart
and
lung
transplantation
are
done
together,
if
heart
is
diseased.
(Lung
Transplant,
2011)
For
every
transplant,
there
are
bright
sides
and
there
are
also
downsides.
But
looking
on
the
bright
side
of
this
transplantation,
there
are
many
benefits
to
the
recipients
after
he
has
the
transplantation.
The
benefits
are
that
even
though
the
recipient
loses
one
damaged
and
malfunctioned
lung,
but
gains
back
the
lung
but
more
healthier.
(Lung
Transplantation,
2011)
Following
that
the
recipient
will
have
a
cleaner
lung
with
no
infectious
disease
that
will
threaten
the
recipient’s
life
again
unless
the
recipient
has
habits,
which
could
damage
the
lungs
again.
But
amazingly,
after
the
transplant
the
recipient
will
have
more
energy,
be
more
active
and
independent
along
with
being
able
to
gain
weight
easily.
Luckily
physicians
have
medications
for
rejection
of
new
lungs
called
immune-‐suppressing
drugs,
this
helps
the
lungs
be
settled
into
the
body
without
any
attack
from
the
immune
system.
This
transplant
holds
many
benefits
that
will
improve
the
patient’s
life
further.

Unfortunately
there
are
not
any
transplants
yet,
which
have
not
got
any
after
transplant
reactions
or
drawbacks
in
other
words
disadvantages.
The
downside
of
this
transplant
can
get
real
risky
if
the
new
lung/s
from
the
donor
isn’t
healthy,
because
the
whole
point
of
a
transplant
is
to
get
new
lung/s,
which
could
improve
life
quality
again.
Other
precaution
that
needs
to
be
taken
care
of
is
the
age
of
the
donor
and
the
blood
type
also
the
donor’s
tissue
must
be
matched.
After
the
lung
transplant
is
completed,
the
immune
system
may
believe
that
the
new
lung/s
are
invaders
and
they
will
try
to
immunize
them.
This
should
be
treated
as
soon
as
possible.
This
could
be
detected
by
the
signs
of
rejection,
which
are;
fever,
flu-‐like
symptoms
(chills,
dizziness,
nausea,
general
feeling
of
illness,
night
sweats),
increased
difficulty
in
breathing,
worsening
pulmonary
test
results,
increased
chest
pain
or
tenderness
and/or
increase
of
decrease
in
body
weight
of
more
than
2
kilograms
in
a
24
hour
period.
Lung
transplant
not
being
an
easy
transplant
to
do
can
cause
quite
a
few
deaths
during
the
first
3
months,
or
first
5
years,
this
is
why
no
specialist
guarantees
long
life
after
the
transplant
(see
figure
3
for
more
survival
data).
The
risks
after
the
transplantation
are
infection,
internal/external
bleeding
and/or
malfunction
of
the
donor’s
lung
or
even
poor
healing
where
donor’s
airway
attached
to
the
recipient’s
airway.
Besides
long-‐terms
use
of
immune
suppressing
drugs
can
cause
diabetes,
kidney
damage
or
infections
that
can
kill
the
patient.

One
World
issues
also
concern
the
recipient
or
the
donor
and
lung
transplant.
One
of
the
One-‐World
Issues
that
affects
the
lung
transplantation
idea
is
Cultural
Issue.
This
issue
has
two
sides
that
have
different
opinions.
It
is
believed
in
some
cultures
that
a
person
has
to
give
back
its
organs
to
the
Earth,
take
it
to
heaven
or
take
his
organs
to
his
next
life
in
order
to
gain
salvation
(freedom
from
the
birth
cycle)
and/or
nirvana.
(Vicky
R.
Bowden,
2010)
While
on
the
other
side
cultures
like
Catholic
Christians
believe
that
it
is
good
deed
to
save
many
people’s
life
just
through
one
person’s
donation.
Few
groups
like
the
Shinto
disfavor
organ
donation;
these
are
cultures
that
follow
the
folk
customs
of
the
Gypsies.
These
cultural
groups
believe
that
the
body
should
be
returned
back
to
god
after
the
death
of
one
or
that
body
after
death
is
impure.
(BBC,
2009)
While
the
Roman
Catholic
Church
is
in
favor
of
organ
donation,
because
it
acts
out
like
a
charity
and
means
of
saving
many
lives
just
by
giving
in
one’s.
This
is
a
Cultural-‐Ethical
Issue,
because
it
has
ethical
implication
since
Ethical
issue
evolves
around
making
a
choice
based
on
what
is
‘right
and
‘wrong’
according
to
the
laws,
customs,
rules
or
beliefs.
The
second
One-‐World
Issue
that
concerns
the
people
is
the
Economical
factor
or
in
other
words,
Economical
Issue.
It
is
knows
that
basically
all
transplants
costs
a
lot;
even
if
most
of
the
amount
is
paid
by
the
insurance
company.
The
costs
that
cover
this
are;
the
physician
fee,
admission
fee,
procurement,
post-‐transplant
admission,
30-‐day
pre-‐transplant
fee
and
Immuno-‐suppressant
fee.
(see
figure
4
for
transplant
fees.)The
fee
also
depends
on
how
serious
the
case
is
and
what
type
of
lung
transplant
is
wanted-‐
Single
Lung,
Double
Lungs
or
Heart-‐Lung
Transplant.
It
is
mostly
the
high
status
people
who
have
economic
means
support
who
are
able
to
spend
this
much
money
without
any
worry
for
the
transplant
surgery.
The
U.S.
Average
2008
First-‐year
Billed
Charges
for
a
Single
lung
was
$450,
400;
Double
lung
7. Vidisha
Singh
transplant
cost
was
$657,
800
and
Heart-‐Lung
transplant
cost
$1,
123,
800
in
2008.
Normally
this
issue
concerns
a
lot
of
people
because
of
their
economic
means
support
and
the
insurance
support.

Fees
covered
in
the

(Financing
A
Transplant,

This
lung
transplant
essay
covered
the
topics
of
what
lungs
are,
reasons
for
lung
transplant,
basic
procedure
of
lung
transplants,
the
advantages
and
the
disadvantages
and
the
One-‐World
Issue.
My
belief
and
view
on
lung
transplant
is
that
the
cultural-‐ethical
belief
of
different
people
is
quite
interesting
because
of
difference
of
thoughts
and
opinions,
another
thing
that
takes
me
back
is
the
precautions,
the
symptoms
before
and
after
the
lung
transplant,
it
is
quite
fascinating
how
the
science
developed
and
is
developing.
To
help
resolve
some
problems
dealing
with
Cultural-‐Ethical
Belief
is
a
very
complicated
and
almost
impossible
complication
to
resolve,
because
a
group’s
law,
customs
and
rules
cannot
be
changed
unless
their
leader/holy
book
or
sprit
advises
them
to.
Though
one
thing
8. Vidisha
Singh
could
be
changed
that
is
the
reason
why
lung
transplant
are
happening,
if
people
manage
to
stop
drugging
their
lungs
or
using
any
material
or
object
that
harms
that
part,
then
it
would
be
more
convenient,
untroubled
and
life
saving
method
to
follow.
