The purpose of this paper is to establish an understanding of the rare heart disease Tetralogy of Fallot. Tetralogy of Fallot is a congenital heart defect that is present at birth, with the structure of the heart being problematic. It changes the normal flow of blood through the heart. The aspects of it being explained are the overall disease and symptoms of it. Secondly, the long term and short term effects corresponding to the particular disease. Lastly, the causes, prevention, and statistics of
definition is not sufficient to establish a starting point from which to examine Shakespeare’s presentation of political drama. If we define politics as the acquisition and exercise of the power of the state, we can see that each play in the Great Tetralogy is inherently political. In terms of plot, the action of each play revolves around the concept of succession, the passing of political power from one king to the next. Henry IV wrests the crown from Richard II, then is forced to defend it against
weaknesses of these characteristics, Shakespeare presents a unified look at the concept of "kingship" and demonstrates that failure to achieve proper balance in "the king versus the man" struggle, leads to the ongoing bloodshed examined in this tetralogy and the next. Richard II demonstrates the extreme of the conceit of divine right. He abuses his power and position caring only for the regal image he projects. His desire is for the physical, majestic appearance accompanied by the power and wealth
surgeries before he was a year old” (Good Housekeeping). This condition is termed “tetralogy of Fallot – a term that describes a combination of heart defects including a hole between the pumping chambers of the heart and an abnormally narrowed valve and surrounding structures that link the right side of the heart to the lungs” (Learn). “The causes of tetralogy of Fallot among babies are unknown. Heart defects such as tetralogy of Fallot are thought to be caused by a combination of genes and other risk factors
Tetralogy of Fallot is a critical congenital heart defect that is presented at birth and alters the lives of families around the world. To many, TOF could be seen as inferior to other illnesses and defects due to a lack of comprehension towards the condition itself. Tetralogy of Fallot is an unfamiliar defect caused by a lack of blood flow and inconsistencies in the heart's structure, leading to the “blue baby”. TOF is often detected after an abnormal heart murmur has been picked up during an ultrasound
minutes after birth which instigated a series of medical examination. Cyanotic spells were observed when crying while on cardiac catheterization the baby was found to have tetralogy of fallot (TOF), pulmonary atresia, and ventricular septal defects with aorta lying over the septal defects. Baby J underwent surgery to repair the tetralogy of fallot. Two weeks after she develops chronic heart failure with laboratory investigations revealing metabolic acidosis and hyperglycemia. She was put on various medications
In a normal heart, the left ventricle has a rather thicker wall than the right due to the fact that it has to pump oxygenated blood to the body as opposed to the right ventricle which only needs to pump deoxygenated blood to the lungs. However, Tetralogy of Fallot causes an enlargement of the right ventricular muscle due to the pulmonary stenosis in the pulmonary
Tetralogy of Fallow is a surgically, treatable disease characterized by all or a combination of at least four congenital birth defects. It accounts for 10% of all congenital heart defects that modify the formation of the heart. It also alters the way blood flows through the heart. Tetralogy of Fallow is usually diagnosed at birth or infancy and with surgery a child can live a relatively normal life. The prefix tetra means four and the term fallot is named after a French doctor who first discovered
Introduction This movie tells the story of a 34-year relationship between a lab assistant, Vivien Thomas, and a surgeon, Alfred Blalock. It also tells of the struggles and triumphs experienced during a journey of human development for two people whom, in turn, influence the development of a worldwide community of surgeons and their patients. It is a great example of how leaders mature and transform their consciousness to be understanding of other people and to deepen the meaning of their words,

A mentor is someone who shares one’s wisdom, knowledge or experience with one’s junior person so that the person could learn and grow. Mentors have many different style of training or passing on their knowledge to other people. The movie “Something the Lord Made” directed by Joseph Sargent shows a kind of mentoring style in between the two main characters Dr. Blalock and Vivan Thomas who invent a way to treat “blue babies” back in the 40s. Vivan Thomas is a brilliant black men who wishes to go to
Every mentor has their own personal style as well as it significantly influences how they behave as a part of the mentor style is his or her ability to get used to their normal responses when the situation involves something other than their normal style. The movie, Something the Lord Made by Joseph Sargent is based on a true story of two medical inventors, which are the surgeons Dr. Blalock who is creating a new technique in heart surgery and his assistant Vivien Thomas who get hired as a janitor
Tetralogy of Fallot is a rare condition caused by a combination of four heart defects that are present at birth. These defects, which affect the structure of the heart, cause oxygen-poor blood to flow out of the heart and to the rest of the body. Infants and children that are diagnosed with Tetralogy of fallot have blood that does not carry enough oxygen throughout their body, and that will cause the infants and children to have blue-tinged skin. Tetralogy of fallot is usually diagnosed during infancy
Paul Scott (1920-1978) is a British novelist who shows his great interest in the colonial and post-colonial India. The Raj Quartet is the best novel in Scott’s oeuvre. Scott revisits the Quit India period of 1942-1947 in The Raj Quartet, which is a tetralogy comprising The Jewel in the Crown (1966), The Day of the Scorpion (1968), The Towers of Silence (1971) and A Division of Spoils (1975). Before his death in 1978, Scott wished his magnum opus, The Raj Quartet to be filmed. In The Raj Quartet, Paul
Plato has unique ideas about education and how to obtain it. His education started with his knowing of history of Athens and his political prowess there. Knowledge according to Plato is transmitted through human relationships. In the class room Plato stressed that it was the instructors job to teach a subject to an individual. Plato broke it down to three phases, where a person gets to so that a man can reach the top levels of education, such as the knowledge of the Good. Knowledge of the Good
1. Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (also called HLHS) is a congenital heart defect occurring during the first 8 weeks of pregnancy which leaves the left side of the heart underdeveloped and small. Normally, the right side flows blood to the lungs where oxygen is enriched before it travels to the heart’s left side while the left side of the heart pumps blood into the aorta which flows oxygen-rich blood to the body. In HLHS, the left side of the heart is not able to pump oxygen-rich blood to the body
The term History Play is commonly used to denote the plays (whether tragedies or comedies) in which the action and the major themes of the play are primarily political rather than individual or social. Though Shakespeare did not distinguish between the genres of his plays, when the collected works of Shakespeare was published by his own colleagues in the Chamberlain's- King's company as the First Folio in 1623, the plays, the editors divided them into Comedies, Histories and Tragedies. Though
In William Shakespeare’s 3 Henry VI, the sun is a multi-faceted symbol. Mentioned by every major character at least once, it is linked with notions of kingship. In 1 Henry IV, the King talks of a ‘sun-like majesty’ to which his son Hal should aspire towards. Likewise, in 3 Henry VI, the sun-like king is presented as an ideal. Yet as the play progresses, the changeability of the sun is emphasised over its impressive grandeur. Shakespeare’s use of solar imagery comes to undermine the monarchy, and
enterprise theater. The Athenian theater was financed by the Athenian state. It was an essential part of the Athenian religious festival: the City Dionysia (AbleMedia LLC). During this festival, three tragic playwrights were chosen to present a tetralogy. A tetralogy is a group of four dramas: three tragedies and one satyr play that are performed consecutively (Dictionary.com). The three tragic poets competed with one another while their efforts were ranked by a panel of judges (AbleMedia LLC). This fundamental
