According to the Martha Rogers theory, a nursing theorist, human is an open system interacting with environment. The main factor in this interaction is sensory system (1). The sensory system is vital for living, human growth and development and makes events in the environment meaningful (2). Health care systems are unknown places in terms of appearance, sound and odor. In these environment there is a limited contact with family and friends. Touching is also limited. Patients have environmental…

between men and women is the proportion of grey matter to white matter. Grey and white matter are the two different types of brain tissues. Grey matter contains the cell bodies of neurons and the synapses between them, while white matter consists of the axons that connect neurons together and transmit information between them. A study by researchers at the University of California Los Angeles of 24 male subjects and 24 female subjects with matched brain sizes, as well as 24 males and 24 females…

UNIVERSITY OF WOLLONGONG Implementing a Body-worn Video 200 Police Officer Deep BAGGA 8/28/2015 “When you put a camera on a police officer, they tend to behave a little better, follow the rules a little better. And if a citizen knows the officer is wearing a camera, chances are the citizen will behave a little better.”- William A. Farrar, Chief of Police, Rialto (California) Police Department Cover Letter This report provides a review of the available evidence on officer body-worn…

Kalat (2014) as being the most prominent part of the forebrain, consisting of multiple layers of cells that are located on the exterior of the cerebral hemisphere. These layers of cells consist of either white matter or gray matter, as well as the axons that transfer information with neurons, either through the corpus callosum or the anterior commissure, and connect both the right and left hemispheres of the brain (Kalat, 2013). The cerebral cortex contains six layers of cell bodies, called…

communicate and convey. The sphere of Intelligence is across a person’s ability in linguistic, logical and math’s, visual, musical, bodily, inter and intra personnel ability.We hear many auditory sounds at the same time. All pass through the neurons and axons where these are processed and we respond only to those which make meaningful understanding to us through language. When a child blabbers we respond happily as if it’s a known language but growing up we term it as language deficient,…

Multiple Sclerosis and the EAE model Background: Multiple sclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects the CNS (brain and spinal cord). MS attacks the myelinated axons in the CNS, causing adverse effects in motor and autonomic function. The four major categories of MS are relapsing-remitting MS, secondary progressive MS, primary progressive MS, and progressive-relapsing MS but the course of the disease remains very unpredictable. Although tests to diagnose MS do not exist, studies…

Case Study: Hereditary Canine Spinal Muscular Atrophy Genetic Background Hereditary canine spinal muscular atrophy (HCSMA) is proven to be an autosomal-dominate disease that affects most noticeably the Brittany spaniel (Pinter MJ, Waldeck RF, Wallace N, & Cork LC, Motor Unit Behavior in Canine Motor Neuron Disease, 1995). HCSMA originated as a spontaneous mutation in the Survivor Motor Neutron gene found in the purebred Brittany spaniel population (Ericsson. A & Rubin. C, 2012). Due to the…

Our logic for choosing kinesin for developing CNS therapeutics is based upon our own research, which found that kinesins are transcriptionally upregulated during memory storage and that they are both necessary and sufficient to induce long-term memory storage (LTM) in the marine snail, Aplysia californica (Puthanveettil et al., 2008; Fig 1). Furthermore, other researchers have also discovered that an increase in specific kinesin function in the mouse forebrain improves working memory (Wong et al…

P2 Task two Tissues The tissues are structures formed by a group of billion of cells with a similar structure. A group of cells together form tissues, tissues from organs and organs are form system organs. There are four different types of basic animal tissue: 1) Epithelial Tissue: This tissue is formed of one or a few layers of cells adhere to a basement membrane. it is found in internal and external organs surfaces. It is divides into: a) Squamous Epithelium - Squamous Simple Epithelium: the…

normal. Babies have different sleepig habits and require sleep at different times such is the case with Thomas sleeping at 9pm some nights and at 7pm other nights (Raisingchildren.net.au, 2016). Meylination also known as the myelin sheath forms around axons. This myelin sheath helps the nerve cell in the body transmit information faster without loosing any signals along the way conecting other cells to the synapses (Berger, 2008). As we age myelination is forming in the frontal lobe which hepls…
