Cerebrospinal fluid

disposing of medical supplies. Universal precautions are a way in which all-human blood and bodily fluids are treated as if they were infectious with HBV, HIV, and other blood-borne pathogens (OHSA, 2016). If any blood or bodily fluids are exposed which may include: vaginal secretions, synovial fluid, pericardial fluid, semen, pleural fluid, amniotic fluid, cerebrospinal fluid, saliva, and peritoneal fluid the following precautions are required in using: gloves, gowns, and masks (OHSA, 2016).…

Methods This study compared the clinical isolates, containing varying levels of chitin, to the survival status and immune response of the patient that the cells were extracted from. To test whether the amount of chitin correlated with an increased ability of Cryptococcus neoformans to worsen human disease, the chitin levels of the clinical isolates were measured and analyzed with the clinical data for the patients. The findings of the study will contribute to the understanding of the…

In the brain, there are respiratory centers that are the central control of ventilation. They are located within the brainstem and their job is to adjust ventilation when they receive signals of changes in the chemical composition. Changes in the arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide or oxygen and changes in blood pH have a major effect on ventilation. For example, when the arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide and blood pH are altered, it sends a message to the respiratory control…

Anterior Cervical Diskectomy and Fusion Anterior cervical diskectomy and fusion is a surgery to remove and replace an invertebral disk. Intervertebral disks are plates of cartilage located between the bones of the spine. This surgery is done when an intervertebral disk in the neck puts pressure on the spine or on a nerve. The surgery is done through the front (anterior) part of the neck. During the surgery the damaged disk is removed and replaced with a plastic implant, a bone from another…

Major complications are generally rare. Minor complications such as epistaxis, septal hematoma, injury to the nasopalatine nerve with subsequent dental numbness, scarring, septal perforation, cerebrospinal fluid leak, and persistent nasal obstruction are comparatively more prevalent. Severe epistaxis following septoplasty is rare. Counselling patients about risk of dental numbness following septoplasty is a must. Temporary dental numbness is common…

system, a chiropractor focuses his/her attention on keeping the spinal column properly aligned. If a shift occurs, the chiropractor realigns the spinal column to restore proper movement and allow the cerebrospinal fluid to move freely within the intercommunicating channels that house the cerebrospinal fluid. Modalities Utilized at Icon Medical Centers in Hollywood, FL, Near Dania Beach Each chiropractor at Icon Medical Centers has access to a variety of modalities so that their patients can…

First, you might be asking “what is Craniosacral Therapy”? In a nutshell, craniosacral therapy supports the body with a non-invasive touch, using no more than five grams of pressure, approximately the weight of a nickel to assess and detect imbalances and limitations in the body. It releases these limitations deep in the central nervous system so that every other system in the body can relax and self-rectify. It helps you naturally free yourself of bodily and emotional pain, stress and…

Encephalocele Johni L. Cochran University of Cincinnati An encephaloceles is a type of neural tube defect. It is characterized by a herniation of the brain and meninges through a structural weakness in the bony structures of the skull (Tirumandas et al, 2013). There are four classifications of encephaloceles: frontoethmoidal, basal, occipital, and cranial vault. Classifications are based on the type of defect and its location on the skull. Nasal or frontoethmoidal…

2011). CCFNA are extracellular nucleic acids released from the tissues through various cellular processes, which can be detectable in human bodily fluids such as plasma, serum, cerebrospinal fluid, urine and saliva. Plasma is an ideal source for the identification of CCFNA biomarkers for the diseases which are associated with alterations in nucleic acid content and reported to have stable fragments of nDNA (nuclear DNA)…

The heart is one of the most important organs in your body. Your heart helps the all the blood in your body circulates. For does who do not know the function of the blood-flow I will explain. On the right side of the heart we have two Vena Cava in which is superior and inferior. Next we have the right atrium, from the right atrium the flows through the tricuspid valve. Upcoming the blood flow goes through the right ventricle, to the pulmonary valve, succeeding to the pulmonary artery than to the…
