meningitis needs to be treated as soon as possible. The infection can get worse quickly and cause permanent brain damage and long-term problems such as seizures and hearing loss. CAUSES This condition is caused by bacteria. You can get this condition if fluid from an infected person's nose, mouth, or throat: Gets into your brain through a wound in your head. Gets into your body and travels to your brain. RISK FACTORS This condition is more likely to develop in: People who have…

best possible treatment for this patient. Other diagnostic test may include blood studies, such as complete blood count, serum electrolytes, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, liver profile, and serum glucose which is compared with the cerebral spinal fluid glucose. We should also test any respiratory secretions, lesion cultures, syphilis testing, and urine cultures. Neuroimaging, such as a CT or MRI would be beneficial as…

2, through the ½” nominal diameter, type L copper pipe, through the needle valve WV5 (Appendix A), and back to Tank 2. WV5 was initially closed. The Honeywell STD 924 DP meter’s pressure tap lines were placed at PT 1, just before the P-1 Sterlings Fluid System Peerless Pump PE50B1, and PT 10, just after WV5. A Fluke 179 multimeter was attached to the DP electrical box. The multimeter was set to read electrical signal in the form of DC current with units of mA. A Fisher Scientific thermocouple…

Introduction When a cough isn’t just a cough and may in fact be fatal. Whooping cough is that cough, the one that you should hope never to encounter. The Wichita Eagle states that there were three cases diagnosed in Kingman, county, Kansas. I wondered why this would make the news. Three cases do not sound like much to worry about, however, by the end of the article I realized this is indeed something that should be taken seriously and was indeed newspaper worthy. The article introduces us to…

Stool Holding (Encopresis)- Overview- The encopresis occurs when the child resists the bowel movements, resulting in a compact collection of stool in the colon and rectum. This generally causes then loose stools in places unsuitable. Encopresis usually occurs after the age of 4, when the child has already learned to use the toilet. In most cases, encopresis is a symptom of chronic constipation. Less frequently, it may be the result of developmental problems or emotional. The encopresis can be…

complications such as deafness, epilepsy, hydrocephalus and cognitive deficits. Bacterial meningitis is contagious and prolonged close contact can spread the bacteria that cause meningitis. The bacteria can spread from person to person be the means of bodily fluids. In many instances, bacterial meningitis develops when bacteria get into the bloodstream from the sinuses, ears, or other part of the upper respiratory tract. The bacteria then travel through the bloodstream…

Evangelista Torricelli was a great scientist in the times of the Renaissance. At a young age, Torricelli lost his father. He went to study with a Camaldolese monk and also his uncle, Benedetto Castelli. It was there when he was taught mathematics, mechanics, hydraulics, and astronomy. In return of all the gifts he received, Torricelli became Castelli’s assistant. Torricelli became increasingly more interested in astronomy, but chose to pursue mathematics as he saw how Galileo, his idol, was…

These gears all depend on each other as well as a lubricant (differential fluid) to help it transfer power smoothly and easily. Every kind of differential -- front, rear, and limited slip differential -- all need gear oil to keep the differential drive components from overheating or grinding together. Differential Problems and Warning Signs If one of the bearings starts to loosen in your differential or if the differential fluid is thinning and your metal parts start wearing out, you may…

Archimedes 's principle, or the law of fluid mechanics. It implies that there is force that is exerted on a body immersed in a fluid, whether fully or partially submerged, is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces. He hypothesized this theory while in the bath. Unfortunately his theory only covered fluid mechanics and didn’t elaborate completely on force. However he was one of the first scientists to discover buoyancy and the displacement of fluids. By 17th century Italian…

location. In land this called declination error. * Deviation * Caused by localized magnetic fields in the aircraft. * Dip Errors COMPASS SWINGING – a maintenance procedure that corrects a magnetic compass for deviation error. COMPASS FLUID – similar to kerosene and used to dump the oscillation of the compass card. COMPASS ROSE – a location on an airport where an aircraft can be taken to have its compasses “swung”. Lines are painted on the rose to mark the magnetic in 30 degrees…
