Cerebral hypoxia

Classification of glaucoma: Classification of glaucoma is categorized into different types. The main two types are open-angle and angle-closure which are marked by an increase of intraocular pressure (IOP), or pressure inside the eye. Open-Angle Glaucoma: “Open-angle” means that the angle where the iris meets the cornea is as wide and open as it should be. Open-angle glaucoma can be called as primary or chronic glaucoma. It is the most common type of glaucoma. Angle-Closure Glaucoma: It comes…

Nasometer What is it? A non-invasive, real-time, computer-software supported instrument that measures the acoustic energy of the nasal and oral cavity during speech tasks. Nasometry software collects and calculates the (nasal plus oral) data to determine a ratio converted to an average nasalance score. Nasalance Score: N ÷ (N + O) x 100.) Purpose: A tool to assess velopharyngeal function; including hyponasality, hypernasality, airway obstruction, and resonance disorders. Often used in cleft…

Introduction The incidence of cerebral palsy (CP) is estimated to be 3 in every 1000 live births (Yea rgi-Allsopp et al.2000). CP are a motor disorder that is characterized by impaired voluntary motor control. Especially with Athetoid type, patient presents a slow, writhing involuntary movement (Merck, 2006; United Cerebral Palsy Association [UCP], 2001).The main causes of the CP are a brain damage, mostly more than one type of brain damage, results the condition of functional disabilities.…

autism to the reduced number of Purkinje cells in the cerebral cortex. Purkinje cells play a vital role in the transmission of signals to the cerebral cortex that control Purkinje cells are what make practice perfect because they can be condition with lots of repetitive movement, which can explain the importance of routine for most kids with autism (Purves, Augustine, Fitzpatrick, et al, 2001). Loss of Purkinje cells can result in changed cerebral cortex signals that may be associated with some…

Persons with cognitive problem affects the processed of reasoning and handle the comprehension, information, ideas, memorization, thoughts. This is cognitive problem is related to operation in the brain that helps with the reasoning, planing, calculating and judging this is very frustrated for them and this affects a million of people without even being unaware that they have this problem or finding a solution for this. A great natural solution it will be to introduce ways to stimulate the brain…

Many different Neuroscientific techniques have been used and developed throughout the years in order to successfully identify and study an individual’s brain function, thus indicating how these techniques help to understand how the brain works, some of these techniques include: Positron Emission Tomography (PET), Computed Tomographic (CT), Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), Magnetoencephalography (MEG). This essay will discuss these techniques in…

cells with one apical dendrite and multiple basal dendrites (Megias et al., 2001). The significant structures highlighted above would be examined and identified in the experiment using a light microscope and prepared slides of dog spinal cord, rat cerebral cortex, brain and…

social interaction in humans. Well, study has revealed, Autism just like other neurological disorders emanates from disturbances caused on the central nervous system (Cacioppo, 2013). According to Cacioppo (2013), injuries to the brain can lead to Cerebral Palsy, which is a non-progressive disorder mostly characterized by muscle weakness, stiffness, shakiness, or even difficulty in…

yourtrousers, slide on your socks, then slip on your shoes, all without a forethought. You grab the keys and skip down the stairs to your car and drive away typically within minutes. That's normal right? Premature birth and lack of oxygen caused cerebral palsy and transformed routine into uncommon…

In Intensely pleasurable responses to music correlate with activity in brain regions implicated in reward and emotion, Blood and Zatorre used positron emission tomography to study the neural mechanisms. Results involved changes in heart rate, electromyogram, and respiration. Increase and decrease were detected in the brain regions involving in reward, motivation, emotion, and arousal. Similarly Alluri and colleagues in From Vivaldi to Beatles and back, predicts the brain activity in music…
