How do you interpret the following statement: “The eye is considered by some to be an extension of the brain because of the complex structure of the retina and the huge amount of neural processing that occurs at the retinal level.” 400 words min

A nurse is caring for a patient with anoxia (lack of oxygen) to the brain because of a drug overdose. The patient is unresponsive to external stimuli (pressure, pain, speaking to the patient). The patient is mechanically intubated to provide oxygen and ventilation support. What are the potential complications of altered brain function? Provide three examples of brain function and the altered effects on the body's systems (what happens when brain function is not working properly). Explain how this occurs (pathophysiology) and discuss why each is a problem. What are the differences between decerebrate and decorticate posturing?

blood passes through the tricuspid valve   

blood exits the left ventricle via the aortic valve

oxygenated blood enters the heart via the pulmonary veins

blood is carried to the body via the aorta

blood passes from the left atrium into the left ventricle

blood enters the right atrium

blood leaves the right ventricle through the pulmonary valve

2)

Which of the following is correct regarding the cardiovascular system?

3)

The main difference between the pulmonary circuit and the systemic circuit of the heart is that in the pulmonary circuit:

1. How are sound waves transmitted through the outer, middle, and inner ears?

2. Distinguish between the osseous and membranous labyrinths.

3. Describe the spiral organ.

EPIDEMIOLOGY QUESTIONS

1.) Scenario: Substance A has an associated increased health risk of 20% and the increased risk associated with substance B is 15%. When studied together, the increased risk associated with being exposed to both substance A in conjunction with substance B is 70%.

Question:   Is the health risk associated with this combination of substances synergistic? (i.e., Does it demonstrate synergy?)

2.) In at least 10-12 sentences, please explain your answer to the previous question on synergy. Be sure to support your answer with relevant information. Be sure to define basic terms and explain the relevance of your finding. Also, illustrate your answer with an appropriate mathematical example using substance A and B based on the data provided in the previous question!

3.) In at least 12-15 sentences, please explain why it is not always possible for epidemiologists to use an experimental design such as the RCT to test a hypothesis about an exposure on humans. Also as part of this, please use at least one scholarly(peer reviewed) journal article to substantiate your views.
