The study conducted by Benson et al., (1992) focused on patients after their whiplash injury and whether their symptoms were aggravated or alleviated over time. The authors hypothesized that they would be successful in finding a connection between cerebral dysfunction and the symptoms of whiplash trauma. Twenty-six patients were accommodated in the study for a span of seven months, specifically from November 1988 to June 1989. Within the case, there were eighteen females between the ages of…

should use its strength of having financial resources to develop an effective reporting system for echocardiogram reports. Moreover, the organization should provide training to human resource regarding electrophysiology as it is a weakness of the organization that it does not have electrophysiology experts. The organization should use its resources to train individuals and to overcome the threat of shortage of skilled labor. Last but not the least, the organization should use its resources to…

education can contribute to that. It is important to note that children of poverty do not have broken brains or limited intelligence. The issue is that their brains have not matured smoothly according to the scholarly article, “Brain Imaging and Electrophysiology Biomarkers: Is There a Role in Poverty and Education Outcome Research? By Pavlakis, A. E., Noble, K., Pavlakis, S. G., Ali, N. and Frank, Y. This is a result due to emotional and physical trauma caused by poverty. The United States of…

There are currently several areas in which specializations are offered. These include cardiovascular and pulmonary, clinical electrophysiology, neurology, orthopedics, pediatrics, geriatrics, and sports (Careers in focus, 2003). Selecting a specialization is another branch to my career path in physiotherapy. I will most likely face the same challenges as before, but more internal factors…

how it regulates formation of inhibitory synapses is not clear. We will monitor the effect of Ctnnb1 KO on the number and shape of inhibitory spine in PV neurons. Moreover, by collaborating with Dr. Gong, whose lab has extensive experience in electrophysiology, we will measure the spontaneous postsynaptic current, miniature excitatory postsynaptic current (mEPSC), inhibitory PSC, induction of long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD). To monitor whether Ctnnb1 KO in PV neurons…

The purpose of the current experiment by Sarti et al. (2007) was to look at the way cocaine affects the structural and functional plasticity in neurons in the Ventral Tegmental Area (VTA) after acute cocaine administration. Electrophysiology, Voltage Clamp Techniques, and cell morphology was used to identify various cell types in the VTA. This allowed the researchers to further isolate which cells elicited increases in dendritic spine density as a result of acute cocaine administration. This…

Reaction to Milner paper This review paper asks the question: to what degree can molecular biology and cognitive neuroscience be united. The articles review the memory systems and findings over the years. Remarkable advances have been made in both molecular problem of memory and systems problem of memory over the years. Although we have a good amount of knowledge about the switch from short term to long term memory on a molecular level, we don't know a great deal about the downstream genes and…

to pass the national Physiotherapy Competency Examination (PCE) after attaining a MSc PT (3142 Physiotherapists, 2016). There are currently sever areas in which specializations are offered. These include cardiovascular and pulmonary, clinical electrophysiology, neurology, orthopedics, pediatrics, geriatrics, and sports (Careers in focus, 2003). Since new treatment methods and diagnosis tools are always being developed, a physiotherapist can never stop learning. They must continuously update…

Guinn_ENVM510_M4GradedAssign – Sunday 1. Prophylactic antibiotic study: The variable of timing considered. Background: Preventing infection in surgical patients with prophylactic antibiotics uses overall less antibiotics than treating a patient post-surgery who have developed an infection (Burke, 2001). These results indicate an overall reduction in infections, which reduce the overall use of antibiotics. The variable that is critical in the effectiveness of prophylactic antibiotic use is…

catheter6 supported the concept that contact force was the missing link in AF ablation. When mean catheter contact force during ablation was 20 g, the success rate improved dramatically to 80%. In this edition of Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology, Ullah et al7 perform a detailed analysis of the relationship between impedance changes, electrogram amplitude, and contact force in 15 patients undergoing catheter ablation of persistent AF; the majority used the Hanson robotic system. An…
