An Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM) can be described simply as a tight rubber band ball of abnormal blood vessels with weak walls. These can be located anywhere in the body. Arteries carry blood containing oxygen from the heart to the brain. An AVM bypasses normal brain tissue and directs blood from the arteries to the veins without a capillary bed in between. Brain AVM’s occur in less than one percent of the population (per 100,000 people) and are more common in males than females. Being…

2, through the ½” nominal diameter, type L copper pipe, through the needle valve WV5 (Appendix A), and back to Tank 2. WV5 was initially closed. The Honeywell STD 924 DP meter’s pressure tap lines were placed at PT 1, just before the P-1 Sterlings Fluid System Peerless Pump PE50B1, and PT 10, just after WV5. A Fluke 179 multimeter was attached to the DP electrical box. The multimeter was set to read electrical signal in the form of DC current with units of mA. A Fisher Scientific thermocouple…

complications such as deafness, epilepsy, hydrocephalus and cognitive deficits. Bacterial meningitis is contagious and prolonged close contact can spread the bacteria that cause meningitis. The bacteria can spread from person to person be the means of bodily fluids. In many instances, bacterial meningitis develops when bacteria get into the bloodstream from the sinuses, ears, or other part of the upper respiratory tract. The bacteria then travel through the bloodstream…

All fluids have its resistance to relative motion between surfaces and is called Viscosity. This property is about the friction between the particles of a fluid. A fluid that is forced in a tube has the liquid moving faster as it is closer the axis of the tube and slower when farther from it. 3.1.1 Dimensionless Parameters In analysis of convection heat transfer, it is convenient to convert to non-dimensional the governing equations and combine the variables, which makes the group of…

properties of basic fluid flow we which know today as “Bernoulli’s Principle” (The Doc). Though many are informed on the basis of Bernoulli’s Principle, how many of us can say we are familiar with the math behind this theory? To refresh your memory, Bernoulli’s Principle states that the pressure of a fluid decreases in areas where the flow velocity increases. Imagine…

Introduction Bernoulli principle is a statement of conservation of energy per unit mass for an ideal fluid in steady motion, where it states the sum of pressure, kinetic and potential energies per unit volume is constant (Munson, et al., 2013). Venturi effect is where the pressure of the fluid decreases which causes its velocity to increase as it passes through a constricted section of a pipe. This is the basis of this report’s investigation. The aim of this investigation is to compare the flow…

Meningitis is an infection involving the pia mater, arachnoid, and subarachnoid space, as well as the cerebrospinal fluid of the brain and spinal cord. The pia matter is the innermost membrane enveloping the brain and spinal cord, followed by the arachnoid membrane, which is separated from the pia matter by the subarachnoid space. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a colorless fluid found in the brain and spine. It is produced in the choroid plexuses of the ventricles of the brain and acts as a…

pan(with 20g mass piece) Flat/curved surface(as shown below) Water Beaker Mass pieces(20g each) SUMMARY OF THEORY Hydrostatic force is the force exerted by the pressure of a fluid which is at rest on a surface. A fluid which is contact with a solid surface will exert a hydrostatic force in all small area of the surface and this hydrostatic force will be equal to the product p on the element and its area…

Concussion report Yearly around 1.6 to 3.8 million people are diagnosed with a concussion and around 25 % of concussions don't get reported to a doctor when they are feeling the symptoms. Concussions takes place in an accident where you take a blow to your head which is unpreventable. A concussion is a traumatic brain injury that occurs when there is a blow or a jolt to the head which results into your brain smacking your skull. The effects is that it has on your is that it thebrain loses some…

taken very literally and seriously. Hydrocephalus is a condition in which cerebrospinal fluid accumulates in the brain, enlarging the head and causing brain damage (MedicineNet, 2016). Hydrocephalus can be a result of the ventricles producing too much cerebrospinal fluid. There can also be an obstruction which reduces the flow of cerebrospinal fluid, as well as inadequate absorption of the cerebrospinal fluid into the bloodstream (Boston Children 's Hospital, 2016). Diagnosis of hydrocephalus…
