In 2007 I received my bachelor’s degree in medicine and surgery from the Arab Medical University. It was at this time I got the chance to work at the Tripoli Medical center where I was assigned to the department of cardiothoracic surgery. This sharpened my skills and understanding of medicine. I was an active member in attending conferences and lectures. It is also at this time I worked in the cardiothoracic intensive care unit for eighteen months dealing with patients, who were mainly…

Summary: Do you awaken in the morning with bags beneath your eyes that make you look more amphibious than a normal human? Opt for fillers treatment for solution. Let us face it; the Indian lifestyle doesn't have potential for beauty. We are toiling more and lack our much-needed 'beauty sleep'. This tendency doesn't look like it is culminating anytime soon either. It seems that the more stresses that are placed on us at home and in the office, the more attention we need to pay to our general…

Mallet finger is a type of fracture which occurs in the distal joint of the finger and causes abnormal finger flexion at distal joint. There are two ways to treat mallet finger. One of them is treating by splint that is a thermoplastic splint, it can be custom or ready-made to keep the finger in hyper extension position and the patient must keep it for a while until the bone will have healed. The other method is treating by Kirschner wire (k- wire) this wire should be inserted inside the bone to…

The integumentary system is comprised of the skin’s two layers, the dermis and epidermis, as well as hair, nails, glands, and nerves. Underlying the skin is the subcutaneous layer, or hypodermis, this layer is not a part of the integumentary system but is vital to its function. Made up of a layer of loose connective tissue the hypodermis serves to connect the skin to underlying muscle and bone (142). The hypodermis also assists the overlying skin by supplying it with blood vessels and nerves…

They can be classified as natural absorbable sutures or synthetic absorbable sutures. The only natural absorbable suture is catgut. Despite the name, catgut was never made from cat intestines, instead it was actually derived from highly purified collagen derived from the intestines of sheep, cattle and goats [2]. There are three types available; plain, chromic and fast absorbing. Plain catgut has a relatively low tensile strength, poor knot security and high tissue reactivity. It maintains…

Introduction & Biological Background Animal meat has been a primary source of protein for humans since the beginning of time, yet with an increase in technology and biological knowledge – scientists have been able to create meat without the killing of animals. The ‘victimless-meat’ as it is commonly referred to, is in fact in-vitro, meaning that it has been created in a laboratory. In-Vitro meat is cultured from the stem cells of eukaryotes most commonly derived in the blood drawn from an…

using the thorax, which most unschooled vocalists do. Correct singing from the abdomen and diaphragm prevents damage to the vocal folds, which increases years of healthy singing beyond age 65. Mehrling (1980) reports the aging process slows down the collagen process in skin, tissues, and muscles that become thinner and stiffer, which causes the speaking and singing voice range to lower. Oftentimes common problems are easily corrected by proper posture, breathing and support, phonation,…

Somewhat related to cognition and morality, is a child’s social and emotional development. For example, following social cognitive theory, I started to regulate my own behaviors more frequently in middle childhood, instead of relying on outside punishments and rewards to shape my behavior (Rathus, 2011, p. 220). Nonetheless, my social development was quite poor. The first reason I lagged in social development is that my ADHD caused me to lack social awareness and thus get rejected by my peers,…

skin begin to look aged. People may develop dark circles under their eyes, fine lines, and lifeless looking skin. A stress hormone called cortisol is released more by a person’s body when he or she does not get enough sleep. Cortisol breaks down collagen, which is a protein that keeps skin smooth and elastic…

Why Neanderthals became extinct? The evolution of man, a three million journey from the branches of Africa to a civilization. The prehistoric times included drastic change, environment, planet, climate, tools, clothing and much more which helped shaped the civilization in the present. From the Hominid family tree it is a mystery when one of the members Neanderthals disappeared and left Homo sapiens to rule the world on their own. Homo Sapiens Neanderthalis or also known by the…
