Cerebral aneurysm

Hemorrhagic Stroke A hemorrhagic stroke is the sudden death of brain tissue that occurs when a blood vessel in the brain leaks or bursts (ruptures). When this happens, certain areas of the brain do not get enough oxygen, and blood builds up and presses on certain areas of the brain (hemorrhage). Lack of oxygen and pressure from hemorrhaging can lead to brain damage. There are two types of hemorrhagic stroke, depending on where bleeding occurs. If bleeding occurs within the brain tissue, the…

In The Joy Luck Club, by Amy Tan, the two settings of America and China act to contrast the two very different cultures that the mothers and daughters in the novel have and further develop the theme of the difficulties of cultural translation . The two settings also show the reader the message that we may not always know and understand the stories of those we love, but attempting to understand can potentially bring us closer to our family. The separation of each story by chapters, told through…

inside of a person's body without having to cut the person open. One thing an MRI is used for is for abnormalities of the spinal cord or brain. When the doctors look at the brain and spinal cord, they are usually looking for things like aneurysms of the cerebral vessel, disorders of the eye and inner ear, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injuries, stroke, tumors, and brain injuries from trauma. Another thing that an MRI can be used for is to check out tumors, cysts, and other abnormalities. The…

In my opinion, B.F. Skinner was a highly influential theorist in modern psychology. His work was hugely beneficial and has also been studied for years. Skinner was highly educated and know to be pretty straightforward about things. His theories have managed to help us in many ways. He studied the behavior patterns of many different living organisms including birds. Skinners most important work was the study of behaviorism and much of his work has been published in journals. He also wrote many…

example of changing science is the past diagnosis of “Shaken Baby Syndrome.” When a triad of injuries, including, subdural hematoma (bleeding beneath the outer layer of membranes surrounding the brain), retinal hemorrhage (bleeding in the retina), and cerebral edema (brain swelling) were present in a child, the doctors diagnosed the patient with “Shaken Baby Syndrome.” The three injuries were theorized to be inflicted through the rapid lashing of the brain that tore bridging veins. Because the…

Drug Addiction An approximate of 208 million people worldwide consume illegal drugs. A 2007 survey in the US showed that 19.9 million Americans (or 8% of the population aged 12 or older) used illegal drugs. (Foundation for a Drug Free World, n.d.) These statistics don’t even include alcohol or nicotine because those drugs are almost legal everywhere. Of how many of these users are addicted? Well it’s a safe bet that most of these individuals are drug addicts because even doing it once can get…
