Anatomical pathology

Primary objective of this article was to illustrate the connection between a closed head injury patient with a severe amnestic syndrome and the significant effects on frontal and thalamic memory structures. According to Collinson, Meyyappan & Rosenfeld (2009), amnesia result from an injury to the part of the brain such as diencephalon. There are other studies suggested that thalamic injuries can result in retrograde and anterograde amnesia, confabulation and severe personality changes. In…

physical components he believed visible in wall paintings (Lazer, 2009, p.53-55) . In the latter part of the twentieth century, the work of Sara Bisel used conventional methods to determine the age-at-death, gender, physique, indications of stress, pathology evidence and trace element analysis to examine and corroborate understanding of the nutritional and health status of the populace, influencing previous understanding of social statuses and professions of individuals. (Lazer, 2009,…

time of infancy, physical ailments progress in such a manner that leads them into old age. Many questions arise from acknowledging the fossil evidence, but luckily Neanderthal remains are more than telling. Due to the overwhelming biomechanics and anatomical evidence collected,…

Introduction Also known as the second cranial nerve, or CN II, the optic nerve is the second of twelve cranial nerves. Although located at the back of the eye, the optic nerve is considered a part of the central nervous system due to its role in visual integration and function. The optic nerve transfers visual information from the retina to the vision centers of the brain via electrical impulses. Made of about 1.7 million retinal ganglion cell axons, or nerve cells, the optic nerve encompasses…

Introduction The Central Nervous System (CNS) has been considered devoid of lymphatic vasculature, and for years, the theory of the nonexistence of the lymphatic system in the brain has been accepted as a biological/anatomical fact. This very basic fact of neuro-anatomy has recently been upset by two independent studies, revealing that the brain does, in fact, have a functional lymphatic system. Although this study was originally done on mice brains, there have been similar findings in human…

skeletons that are used for analysis in ANT4525L: Human Osteology come from the Middle East region. They range in how old the bodies were at death to how old they have been deceased and skeletonized. Upon first displaying medical skeleton number four in anatomical order, it was clear that this skeleton was in a better condition than the other skeletons that were assigned. The body had a whiter tint to its bones, as opposed to the yellow or brown shade on several other bodies. Upon first look, it…

no longer a disability throught to affect the elderly. People of all ages can become victims to a hearing loss. The three types of hearing loss are conductive, sensori-neural, and mixed. These three types of hearing impairments affect different anatomical components of the ear. As a pre-professional student interested in the field of audiology, it is important to comprehend the circumstances that individuals with a hearing loss come across day to day basis. This experience allowed me to have a…

color-codes myocardial perfusion, so that both coronary artery morphology and myocardial perfusion can be assessed in a single CT scan. The SOMATOM Definition Flash offers the industry’s highest temporal resolution (75 ms). Thus, it presents cardiac pathology with valuable innovations for the test of myocardial viability with Dual Energy and for ruling out coronary artery, pericardial, congenital heart, or valve…

Hyperechoic regions are brighter and the same color as the foreground of the image. There are many pros and cons when it comes to shadowing in ultrasonic images. The pros of shadowing in ultrasound is that it can help determine different types of pathology. Some examples of these are seen in stones, cysts, and calcifications. As an example, stones in the pancreatic duct are often found in chronic pancreatitis. In gallstone disease, stones can block the pancreatic duct and even migrate into it,…

agreed that the behavior and the human mind, in normal and pathological conditions, are directly related to the function of nervous system. Also psychiatric disorders of affective or cognitive origin are interpreted as the consequence of a particular pathology of the nervous system. Therefore, neuroscience involves all the different branches of psychology that have the suffix “psych”, as for example psychology, psychiatry, psychopathology. All these specific courses of psychology are linked with…
