Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation Synchronized intermitted Mandatoryl ventilation explains about a technique of providing mechanical air to patients. A “SIMV of twelve” shows that the patient should be given twelve mandatory breath after every 60 seconds from the ventilator. In the SIMV mode, the diseased is permitted to take more breaths in between the mechanical breaths. The patients’ own breath is referred to as “Spontaneous breaths”. The size of the inspiration may vary from small to large, all based on the patient’s ability. The ventilator discovers the patients spontaneous breathing, and it waits until the patient breaths out before giving another mechanical inspiration. The patient on a SIMV of 12 with the breathing of 20 after 60 seconds is getting 12 puffs from the ventilator and taking eight spontaneous breaths. Majority of modern ventilators are could synchronize IVM(SIMV), in which the ventilators try to deliver the command breaths in synchrony with the diseased own inspiratory efforts. In essence, the ventilator gives the patient a chance to breathe. However, if no respiratory attempt is discovered by the ventilator, a timely stimulated…

Patrick Gilmore Patrick Gilmore was an activist of freedom and revolution in America during the era of civil war in America. His activism dwelt in songwriting and singing and not from the political arena. He composed the song “When Johnny Comes Marching Home” in September 1863. The song’s words and music were credited to “Louis Lambert.” However, its copyright was retained by the publisher, Henry Tolman & Co., of Boston. Gilmore chose to publish the song under a pseudonym probably, though not clear, to add a touch of romantic mystery to the composition. The song was a dedication to the artist’s sister, who was hopeful that her fiancé who had left for war was going to return home safe. The mentioned fiancé was a Captain for the Union Light Artillery; his name was John O’Rourke. Gilmore later acknowledged the fact that the music was not original. He, however, referred it in an 1883 article in the Musical Herald as, “a musical waif which I happened to hear somebody humming in the early days of the rebellion, and taking a fancy…
Memory Artwork – Jochen Gerz Understanding the relationship between contemporary artworks and their contribution to the memory of essential events to people and humanity at large is the core motivation to Jochen Gerz’s work. The life and work of this artist are deeply embedded in this complicated relationship, especially on the current artworks that are more of an impression than expression. However, for Gerz, the memory is in the people, and not in the pictures and other artworks. At the heart of Gerz’s work and principles in artwork are the roles and contributions of art in processing and memorizing the traumatizing events in life. The center of this artist’s work is on memorialization discourse and how his conceptual artistry contributes to the understanding of, relationship, and identification with the past traumatizing events. This is achieved through the application of traditional monumental sculptures that indicate the socio-political, economic, and cultural perspectives of a given time in history. Gerz has focused on the conceptual artistry that connects the past to the present through memorization and remembrance. As an internationally-recognized conceptual artist, Gerz’s…
