I LEARNED TODAY

OKAY. I LEARNED TODAY that heart attacks which occur in the morning, between 6am and noon, have potential for causing more widespread damage to heart tissues than those which occur at other times during the day. The researchers looked only at patients who suffered a specific type of heart attack called STEMI (ST Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction), during which blood supply to the heart is blocked for a relatively long period of time. Patients who suffered STEMI heart attacks in the morning were found to have 21% more dead heart tissue than those who had heart attacks between 6pm and midnight. Previous studies have shown that one’s risk for heart attack can be up to 40% higher in the mornings. Scientists theorize this is due to many factors, including a sudden increase in adrenaline (which increases blood pressure and heart rate), an acute increase in the work the heart needs to do, and more likelihood for blood clots to occur. All these factors may also contribute to the findings in this recent study

DUTYMATE ABEGAIL

ABEGAIL PENAFRANCE, is my seatmate since the first day of college. I am thinking how can my life here in college of nursing be without her. We live on a same dorm together. Go to mass together. We eat together. I photocopy her notes. I ask her questions. I let her explain to me things. I really love this woman. We will chat during classes, go to breaks. Be my dutymate for a long while and let me borrow paraphernalia. I will certainly miss her. She is my shopping buddy how can I shop without her criticizing the colors that I choose. And how can she choose the next man to fall in love with without my critics.

She wants to be an Operating Room nurse someday. While I am dreaming of doing researches for nursing. It's really boring she said. But she is the one of those few who understands how I am force to be here.

 Now we are reviewing together. Attending our review classes is easier because of her. Specially when it's rainy and when it already afteternoon.

From the first time I saw her I already now she is going to be bff. Thanks a lot abegail for everything.
