The document discusses three medical topics: 1. Electrocardiograms (EKGs) measure the electrical activity of heartbeats through electrodes placed on the chest, arms and legs connected to an EKG machine. It provides information on heart rhythm, previous heart attacks and heart muscle thickness. 2. Antacids are medications used to treat excess stomach acid, containing ingredients like sodium, magnesium, aluminum and calcium to balance stomach pH levels. 3. Fractures occur when force exceeds a bone's strength, causing pain through nerve endings around bones. Types of fractures include dislocations and impacted or torus fractures. Symptoms are swelling, bruising and pain. Treatments include nails in long bones or

1. Electrocardiogram (EKG or ECG) The3 eletrocardiogram test the measure of electrical activity of your heartbeat. Small electrodes are applies to your chest, arms, legs, then wires are connected to the electrodes and the wires are hook up to a EKG machine. The EKG provide information about the patient’s heart rhythm, a previous heart attack, increased thickness of the heart muscle, decreased oxygen that is deliver to the heart. Each heartbeat has an electrical impulse or wave that travels through and around the heart. The waves squeeze the muscle and pump blood from the heart.

3. Antacids Medication is used to treat too much acid in your stomach, such as heartburn, acid indigestion and upset stomach. Antacid works as an opposite of an acid which is a base. Antacid makes your ph balance in your stomach.

4. Primary ingredients are sodium, magnesium, aluminum and calcium.

6. Fractures Fracture occurs when bone can not hold up against the forces. Fracture causes broken bones by the nerve ending that surround the bones which contain pain fibers.

7. Different types of fractures Fracture dislocation: a joint becomes dislocated. Impacted fracture: when the bone is fracture, one fragment of bone goes in another. Torus fracture: bone deforms but does not crack.

8. Symptoms of a fractures Swelling Bruising Pain Dizziness (feeling faint) Discolored skin

9. Some treatments for fractures Intra-medullary nails: steel rods are placed down the center of long bones. Plaster casts or plastic functional braces: hold the bone in position it has healed.
