Friday 10/18/07

What did you do yester day i'd ask some one today? I really didn't care what the heck they did yester day but i would interupt " It doesn't matter cause yesterday i got to touch a heart !" then i'd disgust them by saying the lung looks like streak but did they touch a heart and not in an emotional way but in a physical way and i got to touch ventricles of the heart and open them. The dissected our body directly down the center and saw the tounge and the Epiglottis, the thing that closes of the trachia when you sallow. Unbelieveable

Letter of Intent

Today I finesed my letter of intent Here it is below:

530 Love Lace Street
Pittsburgh, 15220
9/19/07



Mrs. King
City Charter High School
717 Liberty Ave.
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15220

Dear Mrs. King:

The topic that I have chosen is types of vascular surgery and artificially heart and pacemakers. The reason that I have chosen this is because I am really interested in becoming a vascular surgeon. The reason that I want to become a vascular surgeon is because the human body is like a computer albeit a much more complex and so I would like to deeply understand it.

What I will specifically be studying is the causes of heart disease the impact the American diet has on this, heart transplants, artificial hearts and the ethical issues caused by some medical procedures and finally where is the future of heart replacement going and might it soon be as routine as a kidney transplant.

What my action plan will be is to educate people on the causes of disease and how you need to very careful about what you put into your body because the American diet is a major cause of heart diseases. I suppose that I might see if I could get my own footage of a heart surgery a gastric bypass type and then included it in a video explaining why you should be careful what you put into your body and causes of heart disease.

Plagiarism as I understand it would be taking some else’s work and crediting it as your own or without getting consent of the person to put it in a piece of your work. I do not intend to plagiarize any persons work and if I do include some of there work I would be sure to credit it to them.

Sincerely



Ryan Essel

Cardiomyopathy

Today I once again decided to read up on cardiovascular disease and the disease that i read about today is Cardiomyopathy. Cardiomyopathy literally means "heart muscle disease" and you'll be suprised to know that Cardiomyopathy and Ischemia are related because Cardiomyopathy is most commonly caused by ischemia. This would be Ischemic cardiomyopathy. Now Ischemic cardiomyopathy gennerally happens when the heart's miyocardium (artery) doesn't get enough oxygen which is caused by coranary artery disease and so the heart is unable to regulate is self correctly which may cause falure to the bodies system because the bodys engine e.g. the heart stop and so does the victim. Because of how Americans eat in todays world there is a great chance by eating fast food everyday you can develop such a disease coranary artery becomes cloged and is the main source of oxygen for the heart and if your body doesn't get the air or the air regularly you will probably contract this disease and also possibly die or you could have a transtplant for either for of cardiomyopathy but I will explain that at a later date.

One last thing rember moderation is key.

Vascular surgery

Today I read about types of vascular surgery and diseases. One major disease that a read about is bowl ischimia. Bowl ischimia has many of the symptoms of the iratble bowl syndrome and many of the symptoms are chronic diarrhea, chronic constipation, haveing pain with discharge bloody stool gasy or bloated on a regular basis for time periods or all the time. If any one has problems such as these get checked out because many of the symtoms IBS are synonymous to that of the Bowl Ischimia. Bowl ischimia is much worse because it is basically a rotting of you intestines and then one you don't your bodys discharge fuction any more you will end up dying.

What I like about school is possibly meeting a person that could change your life. Meeting this person changes your entire perspective on life and because of who they are you ignore all the hardships of the world because why not bear it for them.

At fifty expect about the same and mabye a cure for a major disease. And at 90 I hope to see flying cars and everthing those the futuristic illustrations promised us.
