Nitric Oxide Synthase
[ send me this paper ]
15 pages in length. Nitric oxide (NO), a toxic, colorless gas that is formed by oxidation of nitrogen or ammonia, has long been considered a threat to man's physical being; however, current research has uncovered some startling evidence that nitric oxide is not only innocuous to the human body, but findings have indicated that it actually helps address certain illnesses and diseases. As an inorganic gas, it is a responsible component of regulated bodily blood flow and arterial pressure; without nitric oxide, blood circulation would not move through the body with necessary regularity. Associated with nitric oxide is endothelium derived relaxing factor (EDRF), for which nitric oxide provides the biological properties. Nitric oxide has other important physiological duties, inasmuch as it is considered a messenger molecule in the central and periferic nervous system and a mediator of immune and inflammatory responses. Nitric oxide synthase (NOS) is a required component in the formation of nitric oxide as it exists from a basis of L-arginine amino acid. Humans have been found to house three nitric oxide synthase isoenzymes, including isoform I, expressed constitutively in brain, isoform II usually not constitutively expressed but can be present in cytokine-induced cells; and isoform III expressed in endothelials cells. The writer discusses the various associations in relation to nitric oxide synthase and the human body. Bibliography lists 17 sources.

[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper discussing the incidence and prevalence of "bed sores," or pressure ulcers, and the benefits of determining who is most at risk for developing this costly and potentially dangerous condition.

Nutritional & Nursing Aspects Of A Patient Experiencing Acute Renal Failure And Dialysis
[ send me this paper ]
9 pages in length. Dealing with patients who are terminally ill with renal failure and receiving hemodialysis treatments means it is important to remember that physical pain is not the only kind of suffering they endure. Sometimes the emotional devastation is more to bear than the physical side; without the mind remaining strong for the body, it is very difficult to effect positive change even with the best of medical technology. As well, because animal proteins are much more difficult to process than vegetable and grain protein, dialysis patients are often recommended to adopt a vegetarian diet. It is a known fact that the one aspect of diabetes – a primary cause of renal failure – that cannot be overlooked is the ability to eat small amounts several times a day. The writer discusses nutritional and nursing aspects of someone experiencing acute renal failure and dialysis. Bibliography lists 14 sources.
