Motion for Temporary Orders
The motion for temporary orders applies to the marriage issues of James Steve and Anne Marry. James Steve is the petitioner, while Anne Mary is the respondent. The interested party to the case is the minor Steve Mary. The temporary order illustrates four issues; temporary spousal support, mutual injunctions, attorney and court costs, and protective order.
The petitioner is expected to provide monthly support to the respondent and the minor Steve Mary, during the temporary order duration. This is because the respondent and the minor depend majorly on the financial support of the petitioner. The expected monthly spousal support is valued at US$5,000.
The mutual injunction is that both parties are prohibited from making cash withdrawals from the joint account that they have with the commercial bank. Withdrawals can be made after getting express authorization from the court.
The fees for the attorney and the court costs should be solely catered for by the petitioner. This is because he is the person leading and encouraging the court process. The budgeted court costs and legal fees for the respondent side are valued at US$6,000.
The restraining order illustrates that the petitioner is not supposed to communicate with the respondent in person. Only one daily telephone conversation is appropriate. The petitioner and the respondent are prohibited from falsifying the property or debt record related to either party.
Proposed Order
The proposed order approves all the issues raised in the temporary order, and also ensures effective compliance and implementation by all the parties involves in the legal proceedings. The proposed order must be observed, until the court orders otherwise.
The petitioner will provide the monthly support valued at US$5,000. This will ensure that respondent adequately meets her financial needs, and that of the minor. The education, health, transportation, security and basic needs expenses, of the minor and defendant will be catered for through the financial support.
The mutual injunction against cash withdrawals from the joint account should be observed during the entire court proceeding duration. This enables the court to determine the cash inflows and also outflows in the family estate.
The court and legal fees of the defendant must be catered for by the petitioner. This is because he is the party that initiated the divorce proceedings. The respondent has also directly depended on the petitioner for financial support, during the entire marriage duration.
The restraining order limits direct communication between the parties involved in the court case. This must be adequately observed to hinder threatening communication between the petitioner and the respondent. Falsification of property records by either party will be subjected to further appropriate legal proceedings.
Inventory of Debts and Property
The marital estate comprises several properties, business, cash and debts. The total valued of the marital estate is illustrated by the accountant as US$650,000.
The family house is worth US$150,000 at the current rates of the housing market. The cash in the joint saving account is US$130,000. The family van is worth US$50,000 after calculation of the depreciation value.
The petitioner and the respondent are co-partners in a clothing business valued at US$150,000. The couples are currently implementing a commercial building project estimated at costing US$300,000. The family injected US$170,000 in the project, as initial capital, from their joint savings.
The family secured a bank loan for US$300,000 to further finance the commercial building project. The loan is currently being financed through the family business income.

2. Adults differ in a variety of ways. Speculate as to the types of challenges and benefits this presents to adult educators?
3. One of your tasks this week is to begin work on you classroom observations. Note that you are permitted to visit only one “traditional” education setting (a postsecondary institution). ( A). What other types of educational settings do adults attend? (B). Why do you think you were limited to only one traditional setting?
They Dynamics of Mobile Marketing: Professional Development
Brands such as Armani which are involved in the fashion industry have a number of challenges in e-marketing. The problems arise from determination of the preferences of their consumers. Armani offers a wide range of cloths such as suits, hourte couture and ready wear. It is thus problematic to determine which consumers to advertise a particular product.
In instances of app usage, advertising agencies face problems such attracting people to the apps,how to ensure that the users are engaged to the apps and how to make money from them (Soroa, 2008).
The privacy and permissions problem can however be tackled in the mobile industry through permission marketing. In permission marketing, the consumers recognize their need for the product and give the advertiser the rights to market to them.
As a consumer, I have had the experience of using both smart phones and old generation phones. I have used brands such as Nokia, Samsung and Sony. I have experienced marketing in these phones in the form of mobile applications for my smartphone, an example was the hit mobile app Angry birds where whenever I turned on the app and was connected to the Internet, I would view pop-ups about financial institutions such as Chase Bank.
Marketers may use SMS as a marketing tool where they need the information to reach the consumer immediately. SMS have the advantage of being synchronous and they are very personal since the consumers check their messages more frequently than any other thing (Soroa, 2008). USSDs have the advantage of their affordability since they are cheap. They are also good if the advertiser needs feedback(Soroa, 2008). MMS have the advantage of being able to send adverts in videos form as well as audio and text hence offer advertisers wider options
The Physician
Abstract
In the novel and film The Physician, IbnSina is one of the foremost philosophers in the medieval period. He had a great deal of knowledge about chemistry, physics, and math. He was one of the most famous scientists in the Islamic world.
This movie made me think about medicines they used in those ancient days. For instance, how did they treat toothaches? How could they remove an appendix with no surgical tools? I was fascinated by this movie; especially because IbnSina taught himself about many diseases that no one had diagnosed before. The movie is about a man named Rob Cole who has heard great things about IbnSina, “the prince of physicians.” Sina is also known as a man who cures people and then teaches others what he knows. Cole has not been involved in the war between the Muslims and Christians. The Muslims lived in peace with the Jews, and the war was between Islam and Christianity. But Cole, who is a Christian, decides he must travel as a Jew to protect himself and be allowed to learn from IbnSina, and that is when the action begins.
What really surprised me about this movie is how close it was to the real story we have heard in school. This movie has taken me to the beginning of medicine. For example, there was an old theory that a patient could “vomit up” his sickness by drinking something that tastes very bad. This movie developed more than one storyline within a regular movie time; for instance, the man who travels as a Jewish man, seeking knowledge, who then falls in love with a Spanish girl. The movie explores the religious wars of that time, as well as the story of the great physician IbnSina. My impressions about this movie were that it was well directed and easy for the viewer to follow. The Physician is enjoyable to watch, and I learnt new medieval period knowledge from it.
Culture Context
Culture is defined by a system of beliefs or the behavior of a community or society. In the movie, finding the cure for the Black Death improved the life of the community. Also, the physician provided an instructor to educate people about the diseases and how they could help themselves to live safely and peacefully. He saved data that helped others to know more about the disease and how to find medicines to cure it. People were suffering from different diseases that they could not isolate. The physician created a new way of thinking and living that helped a lot of people.
Finding a cure for deadly diseases helped the culture to be healthy and live in peace. People were no longer afraid of diseases, and the culture became more productive. Without fear to paralyze them, people could be happier and more productive. The physician used a method used in many nations suffering fromthe plague at that time. The plague was caused by fleas carried by rats and mice fleas carried by rats and mice caused the plague. IbnSina knew that the only way to prevent the plague from spreading through the whole country was by burning the rats, mice, and bodies of the victims.
Moreover, educating people allowed them to help each other and support and create a more stable community. The culture changed once the population was educated. People could cooperate with each other and help each other in the most serious situations. People can act normally, but when their health is endangered, they might become desperate or irrational as they try to find someone who can help cure them. Knowledge helped to keep people healthy, happy, and safe.
Ibnsina believed that no one would know him or know what he did for humanity if he did not pass on his knowledge. “How pale and tedious this world would be without mystery” (Ibnsina). He wanted people to know that they should fear neither life nor death. “Because there is nothing to be afraid of. Death is merely a threshold we must all cross… into the silence, after the final heartbeat… drifting away with our final exhalation… into eternal peace…” (Ibn sine). The Physician is enjoyable to watch, and I learnt new medieval period knowledge from it.
Social Context
Social, according to Oxford Dictionary, is an informal gathering, especially one organized by the members of a particular club or group (Oxford). Society is people influencing another group of people to their individual or communal benefit .The film The Physician, which reveals how social problems spread globally, shows more than one side of these problems, revealing the impact that society has on religion, land, and medical technology.
Religion, rather than location, is considered a source of identity. The movie talks about wars happening for many reasons, such as clashes over beliefs, lands, and tribute. Governments need more than strong organized countries; they need the people to believe in God. Belief in God prevents people from doing evil instead of thinking just about going to jail or being otherwise penalized. People who do not believe in God have nothing to lose in life, so they steal, murder, and commit other atrocious crimes. The movie talks about the place religion starts, which is a land that becomes a holy place that God has helped to choose for his people. Religions establish rules that help governments to be stronger against faithless countries. Those religious leaders can ask followers to fight invaders and protect themselves. Religion helps to create a stronger nation.
The movie also talks about the importance of land, which allows people to have farms, homes, and freedom. However, the movie talks about nations sharing one holy place to educate themselves in order to develop their countries or their religions. The movie talks about people seeking land, but they are actually seeking freedom for their rights to practice their religion provided there is no harm to others.
The movie also talks about the influence of society on medicine. The movie talks about more than just one isolated technique to cure diseases; these methods are used around the world by increasingly experienced people who can now help to solve some mysterious diseases. The movie shows how medicine has moved from the first surgery in the history of humankind or the first accurate drawing of the inside of the human body to its current advanced state. Physicians in earlier times lacked information and technology. Medicine was given to the patients based simply on the nature of their complaints. Today, we know more about human health and what causes sickness. The Physician is enjoyable to watch, and I learnt new medieval period knowledge from it.
Technological Context
Scientific discovery and technology have had far reaching positive and negative impact on the society from time immemorial (Neumann and Tunis 378). Though there is no universal definition of technology, a succinct definition is offered by the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, as “the practical application of knowledge” in solving problems or inventing some other useful things (Merriam-Webster Para 1 and 2). In the movie The Physician, Philipp Stölzl depicts the role of medical technology in solving mysterious infections and maladies, the laborious challenges undergone by the medics to acquire medical technology and how social and religious belief antagonizes technological development. This paper argues a thesis that advancement in medical technology calls for a sacrifice of a few ambitious individuals, like Robert Cole, who have the passion to seek and apply new knowledge and to defy the antagonistic forces emanating from culture and religion.
The movie, The Physician, exalts the role played by the technology in solving the most horrible human suffering of the time, where other systems have failed. The film is set in 11th-century, in the English town, at a time when the medical technology has not significantly developed, and there are no experts to carry out surgical operations or advanced medical treatments. Consequently, the protagonist has to watch her mother die helplessly after struggling with a mysterious illness. Being a Christina society, it is beloved that forces of darkness cause the sickness that the mother eventually succumbs to. As a young boy, Cole swears to study medicines to help people in the future. Orphaned, he joins a barber surgeon as an apprentice, where he learns some basic medieval medicinal skills like bloodletting, dental extraction and cupping therapy. Unfortunately, the barber contracts cataract and cannot get help from the English people. However, Cole manages to get the help of a Jewish doctor who manages to treat the barber, and he heals fully. At this point, the audience admires the role of Jewish medicinal technology in remedying health complication where the existing technology (in this case English and medieval medical technology) has failed. In the process, he learns about the renowned Persian medic and medical teacher IbnSina. He decides to move on to be trained in medicines by IbnSina.
IbnSina’s apprenticeship to help Cole a great deal in solving further maladies, especially after he moves on to Egypt where he learns further medical skills. When massive deaths arise from plague arises, he learns to link the oriental flies to the plague. Using basic hygienic principles, he discerns that what is called by the Egyptina as Black Death could be carried by the fleas, and suggests the use of a rat poison to suppress the pest’s (oriental fleas) population and consequently manage the deaths, this works miraculously. It can, therefore, be seen that technology comes to offer solutions where traditional beliefs and religions merely created a mystery. He makes a further development by conducting an autopsy, contrary to the tradition and religious doctrines, and in the process learns more about an appendectomy. This knowledge later helps him treat others, like Shah to whom he does appendectomy when he gets vermiform appendix. Probably, had Cole been a conformist, to the traditions and religion, he would not have been in a position to help.
The movie shows that as an application of knowledge, technological development demands constant pursuit of new knowledge and applying the same to solve existing problems. It also calls for the willingness to sacrifice and go extra mile to find solutions, even if that means defying the norms. The Physician is enjoyable to watch, and I learnt new medieval period knowledge from it.
Historical Context
The movie is all about the wonders of the Orient and the religious extremism; The Physician is a 165-minute movie that is composed of computer-generated images that can capture the tale of scheherazable. The movie was set more than 1000 years ago. Its setting resembles the Viking-era with untouched landscape that captures the eyes of the viewers. The movies denote how the Christians ordains that prayers and to determine how it could cure pain as compared to contemporary scientists who cannot and that medicine is the work of witches and the devil. Though the movies were transformed to HD (High Definition); this is a highly calibrated movie quality, it is full of computer aided techniques. The movie is made up of the features of old tales (George 12).
The movie plot is divided into two pain parts, one was when Rob was young with the mother and at some point the mother dies. This undertaking shows the viewer that despite the skills that Rob had as a foreteller it could not help him prevent her mother’s death. Later, the young boy was able to cure people after gaining additional medical knowledge from the Jews. The movie was all about the undertaking of the medical field. In order to understand the movie, The physician, it is wise to elaborate more on the definition of a physician.
A physician is an individual with the mandate of determining the health status of a person, diagnose the person and also offer other medical or health advice. Dictionary definition: A physician is a person who is allowed to practice medicine, which is concerned with restoring and maintaining the health of human being through study, treatment and diagnosis of diseases and other complications.
There are several main things that happened in the movie but the mains ones are the wrong perception that Christians of the time had against foretelling practices in medicine, the knowledge of the Jews to conform to changes in treatment of patients, and the power of foretelling skills and current medicine (Gordon 7).
Foretelling: This is the ability to look into the future without having prior notice of what will happen in the future. Dictionary definition: the ability to prophecy by use of supernatural powers.
The movie depicts that the early Christians were lucky to have people in their locality such as Rob as indicated in the movie that could be able to foresee medical problems of even death. Despite the fact that this person existed, the early Christians objected such skills and noted that it cannot play a part in medicine knowledge. This has an impact in today’s medicine as still the foretellers are considered as medical Quakers. They are not permitted by law to practice medicine or act as physicians. However, most rural areas in undeveloped countries still use these individuals.
Rob brought a different foretelling skill to the Jews who also had outstanding medical knowledge. After his understanding of medicine, his knowledge was improved and become one of the best physicians in history as informed by the movie (Seraphion 1). It from the past skills and knowledge from individuals such as Rob we can get treatment and cures of ailments and diseases. They heavily contributed to contemporary medicine.
Therefore, it can be deduced that The Physician is a credible movie showing the gap between non-aboriginal and aboriginal medicine. The Physician is enjoyable to watch, and I learnt new medieval period knowledge from it.
Psychological Context
The term psychology refers to the human mental and behavioral activities that determine the ability to associate with other in a particular manner. According to the oxford dictionary, psychology refers to the study of human mind and its functionality mostly in factors that affect behavior. ‘The Physician’ is a movie set in the 11th century in a Persian school. The movie presents a physician who disguised himself as a Jewish believer so as to enroll and study is a Jew, only school where Christians are not allowed. Psychologically the movie has various scenes, acts and cinematic features that involve human feelings, affects the human mind, arouse awareness and motivation.
Death in the movie emerges as a psychological phenomenon that affects human mind and feelings. In the movie, the traumatic death of Rob Cole’s mother invokes a feeling of hopeless, destitution and mental anguish. The audience feels for the orphaned young and parentless Cole, at the age of 9. The bereaved portrayed as a vulnerable child at the danger of becoming a street urchin. The audience gets a feeling of the cruelty of death and possibility of passing out any time. The death of Cole’s mother in the movie draws several psychological issues. Death also depicted by the aggressiveness of Seljuks and the civil disobediences that often turned violent. According to Niemiec and Schulenberg (2010, 387), “the portrayal of death is one of the most common themes in movies and is often unrealistic, promoting misconceptions to the public”. The audience gets to appreciate the fact that death is inevitable, irreversible, and permanent. These attributes of death in the movie create different forms of anxiety among the audience not only when watching the movie but throughout the life. From a psychological context, ‘The Physician’ movie provides a medium through which the audience faces death as they identify with Cole and the mother and follow the plot. At the same time, the movie provides an avenue for the audience to escape death because they know the characters are just actors.
The movie offers contradictory approaches to help one understand stereotypical mentality. First, the movie ‘The Physician’ plays an important role in the reinforcement and perpetuation of misconceptions. In terms of anxieties about uncertainty about the life of the character Cole, the movie feeds not only unnecessary fears but also support unhealthy racial and religious attitudes. The discriminatory actions are shown by the Jewish school management when it admits only the Jews and not Christians. The action of Cole to circumcise himself so as to get admission into the Jewish school also reinforces the misconceptions that Jews are special people who should not mix with others. Secondly, the movie seeks to debunk some of the highly held misconceptions and attitudes. That is; the movie provides an opportunity to the audience to challenge some of the highly held personal attitudes towards suffering. The audience is taught to have a healthy perspective towards life and suffering and is shown by the suffering of Cole to beat all odds, walk through the sandy deserts and get admission in a medical school.
The movie ‘The Physician’ demonstrates the concept of positive psychology. The concept relates to an aspect of good, engaged, and meaningful life. The concept of positive psychology describes the methodical delineation the strength, virtues, universality of cultures, and the of character’s belief systems (Seligman, Steen, Park & Peterson, 2005). In the movie, Cole is depicted as a person who fits the description of positive psychology. Cole gained more interest in healing and medicine after the death of the mother, through inspiration by a Jewish physician who was trained by Persian physician Avicenna. This interest emerged organically after the terrible loss and conviction to help other sick people in the future. Psychologists would describe Cole as a person who has a personality of self-regulation, a virtue of temperance that offered him mental stability to lessen and manage person fears, anxieties and obstacles. In psychology, self-regulation or control involves the ability to override ones’ thoughts, emotional status, and behaviors to emerge triumph.
The underlying exploitation of religion and religious themes underscore the psychological issues in the movie. While Cole ‘converted’ into Jewish, he was not psychological happy with the action, a process that involved even shedding of blood through circumcision. The authorities used the religion to control the thinking of the people, through skewed Sina’s madrassa people who may have thought of rebellion. Any form of civil disobedience gets violently crushed, and it makes the people live in a perennial state of fear without independence of thought or action. The Physician is enjoyable to watch, and I learnt new medieval period knowledge from it.

Cardiac Arrhythmia illustrates the collection of medical or health conditions that influences the electrical tasks of the heart; this implies that the electrical activity is either slower or faster than appropriate or normal. The heart beat at certain instances can be rapid and too fast; for instance, more than 100 beats every minute. On the other hand, the activity of the heart may in some instances be too slow; for instance, at lower than 60 beats every minute. A rapid or fast heart beat is referred to as tachycardia. On the other hand, a slow or reduced hear beta rate is referred to as bradycardia. Cardiac arrhythmia cases are usually not life threatening; however, in certain instances the condition may result in cardiac arrest. Cardiac arrhythmia can either occur; in the atria (the upper component of the heart), or in the ventricles (the lower components of the heart) (Mandle, 2005).
The condition can affect any age group; and also in certain cases it can be dramatic and even cause sudden death due to cardiac arrest. Certain categories of cardiac arrhythmia are life threatening. This illustrates that they have the potential of causing medical emergencies, which can lead to cardiac arrest. Cardiac arrhythmias are usually the main causes of patients’ death when being transported to the nearest health institution. The other symptoms of the condition include; palpitations which illustrate irregular and uncomfortable heart beat awareness. The palpitations are also caused through wire dysfunction, atrial or ventricular fibrillation, and several other kinds of mechanical aspects in the pacemakers and defibrillators. Other cases of palpitations can subject the patient to life threatening embolism (Yamada, 2010).
The concept of sinus arrhythmia entails the normal and appropriate feature of mild increase or decrease of the heart rate; which occurs during normal breathing process. Sinus arrhythmia is most pronounced or recognizable in children, and continuously reduces with age. The condition is also clearly pronounced during meditation breathing techniques, which entail deep breathing patterns and also breathe holding capabilities. Proarrhythmia is a more frequent pre-existing arrhythmia. It is usually experienced after antiarrhythmic therapy; this means that it entails the side effects of related to the usage of certain antiarrhythmic medication. The antiarrhythmic medications mostly results in new cases of arrhythmias. The minor arrhythmias are referred to as the normal variants. Many individuals realize that the irregular heart beat in some situations; however, this is normal and does not raise any medical alarm (chugh, 2008).
Arrhythmia is classified into five categories. The categories are; atrial, heart blocks, junctional, sudden and ventricular. This classification approach focuses on the origin of the arrhythmia condition. The classification according to rate includes; tachycardia and bradycardia. The classification based on mechanism involve; automacity, fibrillation, and junctional. Atrial arrhythmia is caused mainly through; premature atrial contraction, atrial fibrillation and wandering atrial pacemaker. Junctional arrhythmias results from premature junctional contraction, junctional rhythm and superventricular tachycardia. The ventricular arrhythmias are also referred to as ventricular extra beats. Ventricular bigeminy takes place after each normal beat. Collection of three premature arrhythmias is referred to as the “run of the premature ventricular contractions.” The cause of the ventricular arrhythmia includes; increased idioventricular rhythm, ventricular fibrillation, and monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (Wiener, 2006).
The heart blocks are referred to as the AV blocks. This is because they mainly occur from the pathology of the atrioventricular node. The heart blocks are the major factors that result in bradycardia. The first degree heart block occurs as the PR prolongation. There are two categories of the second degree heart blocks. The first category is referred to as the wenckebach. The second category is called mobitz II. The third degree heart blot entails the total heart block. The sudden arrhythmia illustrates the sudden death syndrome that explains the unexpected death as a result of cardiac arrest. The cardiac arrest occurs due to the arrhythmia that takes place without the structural instances of the heart disease. The major unexpected death in the United States is the coronary artery disease. An estimated 250,000 individuals experience the sudden death syndrome on an annual basis in United States. Also, several inherited conditions related to the heart diseases negatively affects the health of young individuals, and may result in sudden death cases, that has no prior symptoms. Issues leading to the sudden deaths syndrome among the young population includes; brugada syndrome, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and long QT syndrome (Allessie, 2011).
There are several crucial symptoms and also signs of the cardiac arrhythmia. Cardiac arrhythmia is broad terms that comprise several conditions. The major symptom of the cardiac arrhythmia is the abnormal heartbeat awareness referred to as the palpitations. These palpitations are pronounced through continuous, infrequent and finally frequent awareness. The arrhythmias are mainly harmless to the patients; however, they can be distracting. The arrhythmias predispose the patients to several negative health outcomes. Certain arrhythmia conditions do not illustrate symptoms; hence, do not contribute to enhanced mortality. The other categories of arrhythmia lead to negative outcomes such as; increased heart blood clotting risks, and inadequate blood transportation to the heart due to poor or weak heartbeat. Other adverse result entails the increased risks to; heart failure, stroke, and even the sudden cardiac death. Arrhythmia that leads to fast, slow, or weak heartbeat rates that are inappropriate in the supply of the requirements of the body; mainly results to reduced blood pressure. The reduction in the blood pressure levels leads to syncope or fainting, dizziness and also lightheadedness. Cardiac arrest is a result of certain arrhythmia conditions. Health analysis of the abnormality condition through electrocardiogram is one effective approach to diagnosing the risks related to the specified arrhythmia type (Denruijter, 2007).
Differential diagnosis describes seven concepts. The concepts are; fibrillation, re-entry, bradycardias, tachycardias, triggered beats, automacity, and normal electrical activities. In the normal electrical heart activity, every heart beat starts as electrical impulse originating in the small tissue areas of right atrium. The small tissue area is referred to as the sinus node or alternatively the sino-atrial node. The impulse contracts the atria and then enhances the atrioventricular node. The atrioventricular node is the electrical contact between the main pumping cambers, the atria and the ventricles. The impulse flows throughout the ventricles through the Bundle of His, and also the Purkinje fibers. The impulse flow results to synchronized contraction pattern in the muscles of the heart and hence, pulse. In mature people, the normal heartbeat rate during rest is between 60 and 80 beats every minute. The resting rate for the children is normally relatively higher. Athletes, however, experience reduced resting rate of 40 beat every minutes; this is normal due to the enhanced physical functioning of the athletes (Ornish, 2008).
Bradycardias illustrate reduced heartbeat rates that are lower than the 60 beats per minute approximate average. The condition is normally referred to as bradycardia. This results from the slow signal generated by the sinus node, pause in the normal operations of the sinus node referred to as the sinus arrest, and the hindrance of the electrical impulses from the normal path connecting the atria and the ventricles. Heart blocks are illustrated through several degrees. The blockage may be reversible poisoning, with drugs that hinder conduction, of the atrioventricular node. Heart block is also caused by the irreversible damage on the sinus node. Bradycardias may also be found in the appropriate operational heart of the athletes and several other appropriately conditioned individuals (Morris, 2008).
Tachycardia occurs mainly in mature children and adults. Resting heart beat which is greater than 100 beats every minute is illustrated as tachycardia. Tachycardia may lead to palpitation; but, tachycardia is not always considered as arrhythmia. Increased heat beat is generally normal in people, due to the enhanced physical activities or even emotional stress. Tachycardia is controlled through sympathetic nervous process, present in the sinus node. This is the reason why tachycardia is commonly referred to as sinus tachycardia. Other factors that enhance the sympathetic nervous system operations within the heart entail; ingested substances like caffeine and amphetamines. Hyperthyroidism also results to tachycardia due to the hyperactive thyroid gland. Tachycardia which is not considered as sinus tachycardia emanate from the introduction of abnormal impulses in the cardiac cycle which is considered normal. Abnormal impulses are generated through three approaches; triggered, automated and finally reentry operations. Fibrillation is considered as a special kind of reentry challenge. Current research studies still analyze the approaches of classifying or categorizing arrhythmias (Karakas, 2009).
Heart defects entail the electrical pathway and the structural challenges experienced within the heart that are noticed as from birth. Any person can experience the heart defects because the general health is not a factor in the problem. The challenges that the heart experiences due to the electrical pathway problems can result to deadly and fast arrhythmias. Wolff-Parkinson-White health syndrome is because of the extra pathway that comprises the electrical muscle tissue within the heart. The tissue enables the electrical impulses that increase the rate of heartbeat. The right ventricular outflow represents the major category of the ventricular tachycardia in even healthy people. The defects are experienced because of the electrical node located within the right ventricle near pulmonary artery. Stimulation of the node results in the patient experiencing the ventricular tachycardia that does not enable the heart to have adequate blood for effective beating. Long QT syndrome illustrates another heart problem that is considered an independent factor that influences mortality. There are several approaches of treating heart defects. The treatment approaches involve; cardiac ablations, changing lifestyle to incorporate exercise and minimal stress, and medical treatment. People can still effectively live their lives fully and happily; despite the conditions (Moskalenko, 2012).
Automacity entails the cardiac muscle generating its own impulse through the cell. The heart cells have the capability of producing the action potential. But, only certain cells are designed to continuously produce the trigger beats. The cells are located in the heart through the conduction system, and comprise the SA node, Purkinje fibers, Bundle of His, and also AV node. The sinoatrial node illustrates the specialized atrium location that possesses relatively higher levels of automacity. The high rate of pacemaker generates the heart rate. A component of the heart that produces impulse without the direct contribution of the sinoatrial node is referred to as the ectopic focus hence, a pathological feature. This results to single premature beats periodically. Rhythms generated by the ectopic focus of atria, and also the atrioventricular node of the heart, are arrhythmia considered least dangerous. Conditions that enhance automaticity entail hypoxia and the stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system (Mandel, 2005).
The reentry arrhythmias take place when the electrical impulse continuously travels through the tight circle of the heart; instead of travelling from one end to the other and finally stopping. Each cardiac cell transmits the excitation impulses in several directions once in short duration. The action potential impulse moves through the entire heart rapidly, hence each cell responds once. The refractory duration has certain heterogeneity. This is because the myocardial cells are incapable of activating the rapid sodium channel. Certain impulses reach late; hence they are viewed as new impulse. According to timing, the effect can include continuous circuit rhythm. Due to the reentry concept, the excitation vortices located within myocardium are considered the major cardiac arrhythmias that are life threatening. Autowave reverberator is part of the inner atria walls that has the atrial flutter. Reentry ensures majority of the supraventricular tachycardia and the ventricular tachycardia. Omega-3 fatty acids generated by the fish oil is capable of ensuring protection from the arrhythmias. However, in the instance of re-errant category of arrhythmias, fish oil can have negative health consequences (Yamada, 2005).
Fibrillation occurs when the complete heart chamber is engaged in the several micro-reentry processes; hence, producing the electrical impulses which are rapid and chaotic. There are two categories of fibrillation; atrial fibrillation, and also ventricular fibrillation. The most life threatening type is the ventricular fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation is illustrated in the upper atria heart chambers. It illustrates major health conditions, and must be analyzed by a competent physician it does not mainly result to medical emergencies. Ventricular fibrillation takes place in the lower ventricle chambers. It is mainly a medical emergency situation, and may lead to sudden death. When the heart experiences ventricular fibrillation; adequate blood pumping is altered thereby resulting in cardiac arrest. People affected by the ventricular fibrillation cannot survive; this is unless defibrillation or cardiopulmonary resuscitation is urgently conducted. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation increases the duration of brain survival. On the other hand, defibrillation has the ability of restoring the heart rhythm to appropriate levels. Defibrillation is conducted through conducting electrical shocks that resets heart cells. This ensures reestablishing normal operations of the heart (Chugh, 2008).
Triggered beats takes place when heart problems result in abnormal electrical activities. The abnormal electrical activities enhance the abnormal rhythm of the heart. The ion channels in each cell of the heart ensure the abnormal production of the electrical activities. The triggered beats are usually rare; and may occur because of the negative effects of the anti-arrhythmic medications (Wiener, 2006).
