Magnatherm therapy uses high frequency energy to heat deep tissue in the body and produce a therapeutic or healing reaction. It is based on an old treatment founded by a German doctor in 1907 called Diathermy, but fell into disuse as antibiotics and anti-inflammatories became the preferred treatment for certain conditions. However, today, resistance to anti-biotics is rising, and other therapies have serious side effects. Because of this, Diathermy has made a comeback, and Magnatherm therapy delivers the treatment with a wide range of settings to reach deep tissue from several angles and intensities.…
1. What does the PR interval on the ECG represent? What is the normal value? The P-R interval is the interval between the beginning of electrical excitation of the atria and the beginning of excitation of the ventricles and its normal value is 0.12- 0.20 seconds.…

This technique is less aggressive than dermabrasion, so you don't need numbing medicine. It is an exfoliation and skin rejuvenation procedure that leaves skin looking softer and brighter…
The article “The Subcategories of the Major Tissue Types in Anatomy and Physiology” by Robert Mullis talks about the different kind of major tissues in the human body. Tissue is a group of similar cells working together. There are four types of tissue that do different things: Epithelial, Connective,Muscle and Nervous. For example, the essential functions of epithelial tissues are secretion, absorption, protection, filtration, and excretion. Epithelial tissues are full of sensory receptors that play an important role in the way our bodies react to the environment.…
Also storage chemical energy. This tissue as it name says is found in bones. e) Blood: this type of tissue is found in around all our body in arteries, arterioles, capillaries and veins. The functions of this tissue are to transport oxygen and carbon dioxide, water, urea, hormones, enzymes, glucose, amino acids, plasma proteins, leucocytes and erythrocytes which are blood cells. Also maintains the temperature, control PH, regulates the excess of salt and remove…

Echinacea works by stimulating the immune system. Whereby antibiotics destroy both good and harmful bacteria Echinacea enables your body to deal with infections and viruses as they happen. Studies show that Echinacea stimulates phagocytosis, a process where white blood cells travel around the body hunting and attacking harmful micro organisms releasing chemicals and digesting them. White blood cells are a major component of the body's inbuilt quick response immune system.…
Codeine overdoses can be very dangerous but luckily if caught in time there are various ways to save the user. -Stomach Pumping can be effective to remove the drug from the system and rinse the stomach of the toxins. This method is only effective within 30 minutes of ingestion of the drug. -Activated charcoal is administered since it has the ability to abosrb the remaining drugs and “slow the intake of Codeine into the bloodstream by 60%” according too http://www.projectknow.com/research/codeine-overdose/, May 20th 2017.…
The principle of this method is to show how both Toxin A & B can influence the body by the inflammatory response to the toxins. With Toxin A this is a bad response as it can cause necrosis, inhibition of protein synthesis and it can also affect the intestinal permeability, as it makes it increase. It is also known to affect the Phospholipase A2 in the body, so this then allows the production in prostaglandins and leukotrienes.…

Cystic fibrosis is a progressive, genetic disease that causes chronic lung infections and breathing becomes continually hampered as the disease progresses. This disease is “caused by a mutation in the gene cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR)”, which is why the disease is called cystic fibrosis. After doing research, Dorothy H. Andersen of Columbia University, noticed the damage that cystic fibrosis did to the pancreas and lungs, she then gave cystic fibrosis its’ name. The root word for cystic is cyst and the suffix is ic. The root word for fibrosis is fibr and the suffix is osis, which is an abnormal condition.…
When an organism is in an aquatic environment, they are required to maintain their homeostasis from the difference in salt and other particles in solution and in their cell bodies. The salinity and osmolality in an environment triggers a series of regulatory responses in the organism to maintain equilibrium. The equilibrium is essential to its cell’s life and ultimately the life of the organism. The response to maintain such equilibrium is an osmotic regulation, the regulation of the solutes in solution and the cell bodies. When a cell is in an aquatic solution, water, ions, salts, and other permeable solutes are frequently exchanged between the environment and its cells to achieve equilibrium.…
As a nurse working in the home healthcare industry, I always believed the goals of home healthcare services are to provide treatment to patients with chronic diseases and terminal illnesses. I also believed it is to assist the patient to regain their independence, decrease hospitalizations and help patients to learn to live with their illness or disability. As in the hospital environment, home health care patients are evaluated as part of their plan of care. Although in home healthcare care patients receive services in the comfort of their home, there must be a structured evaluation. This structured evaluation comprises of these three phases which include nursing diagnosis, planning, and implementation.…
