Part Two: Diagnosis and Treatment 7. What is myelin and how does it affect the transmission of nerve impulses? Identify the cells responsible for the formation of myelin. Covering some axons is a multilayered lipid and protein called myelin sheath, this helps to insulate the axon and speed up nerve impulses. (Tortora pg. 407) An axon that is surrounded by myelin sheath, whether in the central nervous system (CNS) or the peripheral nervous system (PNS), is said to be “myelinated”, while the bare…
Two computation cases were introduced, one with a polyurethane graft and another with a silicon rubber graft. The computations were done under a pulsatile flow. Both cases were computed under maximum peak pressure as mentioned in the method section. The flow volume rate is expressed by integrating on surface as followed: Q=∬_A^ ▒v.dA (5) By integrating flow volume rate in time…
Meningitis is a disease caused by the inflammation of the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord, known as the meninges. The inflammation is usually caused by an infection of the fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. Meningitis can result from a variety of sources, such as bacteria, viruses, fungus, or parasites; it can also be caused by a physical injury. Treatment for meningitis differs depending on the cause and the severity. So it is imperative to know the cause…
1) What differential diagnoses should be considered for this individual? When addressing this question, the provider may feel overwhelmed with volume and possibility. Consequently, a thorough knowledge of disease pathology, presentation, and an understanding of the establishment and ranking of the most likely differential diagnoses is of immense importance. Like with any presenting complaint, the history and physical should serve as the guidepost for the differential diagnosis. Every disease…
which cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) builds up in the brain (Mayo Clinic 2014). The causes of this disorder are still not well understood, but it may result from inherited genetic abnormalities, developmental disorders, tumors, and other injuries to the head that may cause a blockage. This blockage prevents the excess CSF that builds up in the brain from exiting, which adds pressure on the brain tissue that can lead to brain damage (NIH, 2012). Cerebrospinal fluid is a clear fluid that surrounds the…
supporting the movement of the bones against each other (Ali, 2013, p. 153). There are many types of arthritis, one of the most common is osteoarthritis, (OA). The joints of the body where two bones meet contain synovial fluid, which is produced by the synovial membrane. This fluid lines the inside of the joint…
The gear ratios used for this transmission were 2.52 for 1st gear, 1.52 for 2nd gear, and 1.0 for 3rd gear. known as a “delayed engagement.” This issue is simply the result of a low fluid level or a clogged filter/screen. He went on to say that if a TH350 suffers from this “aging complaint” only when cold, it’s most likely that the lip seals have become too brittle. If this is the case, then they are not properly sealing until after…
Again for the ease of installation and deployment one must consider size constraints. 2.2.4 Tip speed ratio (λ) The tip speed ratio or TSR for the turbines is the ratio between the rotational speed of the tip of a blade and the actual velocity of the fluid. The tip speed ratio is related to efficiency. Higher tip speeds result in higher noise levels and require stronger blades due to large centrifugal forces. It is given by λ =ωR/U (2.3) Whereω is the angular velocity, R is the radius of the…
talking about inducing labor. I asked her if there was any way around doing this. She said let’s do an ultrasound and check your amniotic fluid first. I was a little hesitant, but I agreed to this. She asked do you want to find out what you’re having if we can tell? I said sure might as well. When she performed the ultrasound, she said I didn’t have much amniotic fluid surrounding the baby. Because of this, she said it was best to induce me. Afterwards, she attempted to see if she could find out…
Double diffusive convection phenomenon occurs in situations where flow is driven by solutal gradients apart from thermal gradients. Present days in industrial processes like food processing, drying, chemical vapour deposition etc. the nature of fluid flow with in the process chambers largely governs the outcome. Thus research on double diffusive convection flows in relations to various applications in many mechanical and chemical engineering industries and also in fields like oceanography,…
