Left-sided congestive heart failure is a fatal condition whereby the heart fails to pump sufficient blood to the body due to a malfunctioning left ventricle. It can manifest in two ways: systolic or diastolic failure. Systolic failure occurs when the left ventricle fails to contract strongly enough to push blood through the body, while diastolic failure occurs when the left ventricle cannot relax enough to allow in more blood due to stiffening of the muscles. Common causes of left-sided heart... Congestive...

Reliever inhalers are prescribed to reduce the asthma signs, and they do not minimize the swelling and inflammation in the airway (Wojciechowski, 2011). People suffering from mild asthma are treated with inhaled corticosteroid combined with a long-acting beta-two agonist (Wojciechowski, 2011). In such a case Flovent 110 and Severent is prescribed.

Pathophysiology...Pathophysiology Diagnosis The physician should give Mr. Ally an eye exam. The examination should encompass dilating the eyes todetermine whether the retina is detached. Fundamentally, the physician should utilize the ophthalmoscopy and ultrasonography in the diagnosis. The ophthalmoscopy is essential for the examination of Mr. Ally’s eyes because it offers a highly defined three-dimensional view that enables the physician to see the presence of detachment or retinal holes. Similarly, the doctor should use the ultrasonography to create images of the retina on a video monitor for the diagnosis of the retinal detachment. The two tests will be crucial in the diagnosis of the retinal detachment in Mr. Ally’s eyes.
