Late 18th century Edit
On July 16, 1798, President John Adams signed the first Federal public health law, "An act for the relief of sick and disabled Seamen." This assessed every seaman at American ports 20 cents a month. This was the first prepaid medical care plan in the United States. The monies were used for the care of sick seamen and the building of seamen's hospitals. This act created the Marine Hospital Service under the Department of the Treasury.

Ischemia is a condition in which blood flow in a tissue is insufficient to keep up with metabolic demand. A. True B. False
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer: True

Explanation:

Ischemia is the reduction in blood flow to a tissue resulting in decreased oxygen and nutrient supplies to the tissue which may lead to cell death if not reversed.

Risk factors to ischemia includes:

1. Vascular diseases

2. Trauma

3. High blood pressure

4. Tobacco

5. Physical inactivity

6. High cholesterol.

Ischemia can be acute or chronic depending on its course of action. Acute ischemia occurs when there is a sudden decrease in the flow of blood to a tissue while chronic ischemia occurs when there is a gradual decrease in blood flow to a tissue.

Ischemia can be reversible when blood flow to the tissue returns. When irreversible, it leads to cell death.
