Angle-closure glaucoma is defined as an obstruction of the flow of aqueous humor in the eye due to the iris and trabecular meshwork being too close together which creates a closed angle where 270 degrees or more of the angle is occluded.1 Occlusion of the angle causes the intraocular pressure (IOP) to elevate. Optic nerve damage can occur if IOP is greater than 40 mmHg and permanent vision loss can occur if an individual's IOP is greater than 60 mmHg.2 The incidence of angle-closure glaucoma…
Q1.Ethernet has become the standard for LAN communications. Give a brief overview of structure of an Ethernet frame. Ethernet and Wi-Fi are the most commonly used technologies to set up Local Area Networks today. It operates by using Carrier Sense Multiple Access Detection (CSMA/CD) to control media access. (Study CCNA, 2016) The structure of an Ethernet Frame is as follows: The Ethernet Frame Structure (Anon., 2013) Explanation: • Preamble: This field is responsible for harmonizing bits…
Wind patterns and air masses, the land/water contrast, and the ocean currents are the three of the five climate controls that impact the temperature and precipitations at both location. Although these three climate controls affects both St. Louis and Singapore, the wind patterns and air masses, the ocean currents, and the land /water contrast are more influential on the climate at Singapore than on St. Louis since Singapore is closer to the large bodies of water, which means that it is affected…
There are many different materials that can be used for eyeglasses. They all have advantages and disadvantages. When it comes to how your brain creates images and why they differ there are many different body parts that have a big effect. With that being said two materials that are used for eyeglasses are plutonite and the hydrophobic lense coating. These two materials are two of the most used for eyeglasses as they have many advantages that are not provided by other materials. There are also…
Basicervical fracture is a fracture through the base of femoral neck at its junction with the intertrochanteric region. Basicervical fractures has been characterized by an extracapsular location of its fracture line, high fracture angle and absence of muscular attachment to its proximal fragment. The calcar femorale is a dense vertical plate of bone extending from the postero-medial portion of the femoral shaft under the lesser trochanter and radiating lateral to the greater trochanter…
cure. Kinds: Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases. According to the National Eye Institute glaucoma damages the optic nerve which can lead to vision loss and blindness. There are many different kinds of glaucoma. The most common kinds are open-angle and angle-closure…
and racial specifications experience related discrimination manifesting from different angles. This paper intends to explore a case study of such prejudices…
INTRODUCTION Uveitis is an inflammatory disorder of the vascular tunica of the eye, which leads to a decreased visual acuity due to either direct involvement of the retina-choroid complex or indirectly affecting the lens leading to development of complicated cataract. The development of cataract in uveitic patients is also attributed to the use of steroids for a long period of time. These cataractous lens need to replaced with intraocular lens to restore visual acuity after the inflammation…
the most prevalent injuries to occur in American football.(2/3) Knee injuries often result in surgery or discontinued practice for an extended period of time, which has the potential to be harmful to an athlete’s career. In hopes of reducing the incidence of knee injury, sports medicine professionals created prophylactic knee braces. Initially made with the intent to prevent and curb future knee injuries, prophylactic braces are used by many athletes. Due to their increased use, researchers have…
Can preseason fitness help prevent injury? In effort to decrease knee join injury, Hewett and colleagues (1999) recommended all young female athletes participate in a training program that includes progressive resistance weight training. This is one of the few studies that collected data on athletes that completed a preseason training program. A trained athlete completed a 6-week muscular training program that incorporated flexibility, plyometric, and weight training. The entire study consisted…
