Osmosis: Sleep Apnea
Tumblr media
Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder which causes irregular breathing and snoring patterns that can ultimately cause apnea, which is where a person momentarily stops breathing altogether. The inability to get restful sleep can also lead to severe exhaustion. 
Individuals can have obstructive sleep apnea, central sleep apnea, or features of both.
Obstructive sleep apnea is the most common form, and it develops when there’s a blockage of the airways. Air has to go form the nose through the nasopharynx into the laryngopharynx, through the larynx and then into the trachea. Somewhere along that path, there might be a blockage in the flow of air. 
Allergies might cause swelling of the tissue in the nasopharynx, 
or there might be swollen adenoid glands or tonsils because of an infection. 
There might be a severe underbite which pulls the jaw back and blocks the airway. 
In individuals that are overweight, there could be too much weight in the soft tissues of the neck, which can weigh down the airway especially when a person is lying down. 
These problems are most obvious at night because hormonal changes at night cause the muscles around the airway to becomes slightly less stiff while sleeping. This means that they are less able to keep the airway open, making it more likely to get a bit squashed or obstructed.
Tumblr media
Central sleep apnea refers to the fact that the problem is “central” or related to the central nervous system. This is where the brain intermittently stops making an effort to breathe for 10 to 30 seconds. The apnea can persist for several seconds even after waking up, triggering feelings of panic and futher disrupting the sleep cycle. 
Central sleep apnea starts with an initial episode of hyperpnea, which is when the brain directs the lungs to start hyperventilating during sleep by increasing the respiratory rate. This rapid breathing causes hypocapnia, a drop in the blood’s carbon dioxide levels. When the carbon dioxide falls below a certain threshold, the body slips into a state of apnea, making no effort to breathe and taking in no oxygen. This causes the carbon dioxide levels to rise back to normal levels and then, as the apnea persist, they keep rising to which is called hypercapnia. The really high carbon dioxide levels triggers hyperpnea again, and the cycle starts all over. Essentially, the respiratory system is going rapidly back and forth between two states, first making no effort to breathe and then hyperventilating, with no in-between.

If you’re thinking about studying medicine, read this.
Tumblr media
Remember that it’s hard for everyone and no one woke up one day knowing it all.
Don’t compare yourself to others : you don’t know what’s behind that girl who spends hours at the library, or that guy that claims he knows everything by heart. Do your thing and have faith.
It’s not because you’ve “studied” for 6 hours straight that you’ve actually been productive. Quality over quantity, always (I still tend to forget about this sometimes)
Don’t ditch physics and chemistry. Also, don’t ditch any important textbook chapter to save you time! You’ll thank me later.  
Please take care of your mental health. Take your medication if you need some, and look for help if you’re feeling stuck.
Try to stay healthy and to keep moving, it actually helps a lot.
DRINK. YOUR. WATER.
Find YOUR study method. It’s not because everyone else is studying something in a certain way that it’ll work for you.
Don’t lose too much time on useless details. Focus on key concepts instead.
Nothing is ever like it seems and nothing is ever like you imagined. 
Stress is only bad if you see it that way. You can’t avoid stress but you can see it in a positive way instead. Whenever you’re feeling anxious just close your eyes and take a deep breath and think about something that makes you happy. This could be anything : your cat, your family, a warm cup of tea… just imagine something that will put a smile on your face. You’ll feel relieved.
Have faith that the Universe has a plan for you. Accept fear and embrace it with love. You’re allowed to expect miracles.  
Sleep is SO IMPORTANT : make sure you sleep at least 7 hours every night! Sleep is actually the best way to memorize what you’ve learned in a day.
Delete social media from your phone if it’s bothering/distracting you. Also, remember that ¾ of what you see on Instagram is fake.
Take real breaks. One hour break won’t make you lose time. It’ll make you more productive, especially if you’ve been studying for hours. Your brain will process what you’ve learned whilst you’re doing other things.
Learn how to be disciplined. Build a routine. Try to stick to it. But remember to change one thing at a time so you won’t feel overwhelmed.
Please go outside when it’s sunny and get your dose of happiness and vitamin D
Good people exist so please don’t be afraid to ask for help.
Be grateful. Always.
You will never know what people think of you, and most of the time you’re the only one who’s been judging yourself.
Don’t drink too much coffee.
Meditate, even for 5 minutes each day.
Don’t forget to have fun along the way !
While re-reading this I feel like these tips can be applied to everyone and not only med students! Don’t hesitate to write your own advice in the comments :) 
Hope you liked it!

Heart
cpsof cardiac muscle, support 2 diff circulax [pulmonary circulax, systemic circulax]
each side of heart cssof 1 atrium [separtd from ventricles by atrioventricular valves (tricuspid on right, mitral/bicuspid on left)] & 1 ventricle [separtd from vasculature 脉管系统 by semilunar valves (pulmonary on right, aortic on left)]
pathway of blood [right atrium, tricuspid valve >> right ventricle, pulmonary valve >> pulmonary artery >> lungs >> pulmonary veins >> left atrium, mitral valve >> left ventricle, aortic valve >> aorta >> arteries >> arterioles >> capillaries >> venules >> veins >> venae cavae >> right atrium]
left heart contains more muscle than right <== systemic circulax hv much highr resistance & pressure
Electrical conducx of heart start at sinoatrial [SA] node >> atrioventricular [AV] node >> bundle of His >> travel thru Purkinje fibers
Systole [period during ventriculr contracx wn AV valves closd] & Diastole [heart relaxd, semilunar valves closd]
Cardiac output [product of Heart rate & Stroke volume]
Sympathetic nervous system ++ heart rate & contractlty
Parasympathetic nervous system – heart rate
