relation has been described by Davies and Gray , in three different ways - anatomic, conceptual, geometric. Anatomical definition is the most used one where the head of condyle is described to be in the superior most and fore most position in the fossa. Though it is debatable as some clinicians prefer the position to be midmost and some prefer rear most. Conceptual definition is the position of the mandible relative to the maxilla when the muscles that support the mandible are at their most…

Osteoarthritis Primary OA of the elbow is a relatively rare condition that comprises only 1% to 2% of patients with elbow arthritis.8 Primary OA of the elbow is a disease that is almost exclusive to males, and has a strong association with strenuous use of the arm in activities ranging from weight lifting to operating heavy machinery. In 1936, Rostock9 reported a nearly 33% incidence of primary OA in a large population of coal miners. Similarly, Stanley10 and Sakakibara and coworkers11 also…

Aerobic Fitness Laboratory Report Ethan C. Bagwell University of Arkansas Introduction The problem addressed in this laboratory report is aerobic fitness and its association with cardiovascular disease and all cause mortality. Aerobic fitness is related to the ability to perform large muscle, dynamic, moderate to vigorous intensity exercise for prolonged periods of time (Thompson, Gordon, & Pescatello, 2014). Aerobic fitness has been considered a health-related part of physical fitness due to…

Image analysis Liver and splenic attenuation measurements in HU were obtained by averaging two 1.0±0.1-cm2 circular region-of-interests (ROIs) placed above and below the main portal vein plane in both the unenhanced and portal venous phase contrast-enhanced images of each patient. To avoid partial-volume averaging effect, special care was taken to avoid measurements from vessels, focal lesions, areas of artifact, or near the edge of organ. Furthermore, only measurements from the posterior half…

its limits, combined approaches were used for complete excision of the tumor. Combined multiport approaches through endoscopic transoral and transorbital were used in cases with extension to prestyloid parapharyngeal region and along middle cranial fossa lying lateral to the superior orbital fissure,…

1) Name the two types of inflammatory bowel disease and discuss the differences between the two types and their characteristics including diarrhea, rectal bleeding and areas involved? “Inflammatory bowel diseases are of two types: Regional entitis (Crohn’s disease) and Ulcerative colitis”. (Bare, Day, Paul, Smeltzer & Williams, 2010, p. 1172). Regional colitis refers to the inflammation of GI tract and most commonly affects the distal ileum and ascending colon. The inflammation begins with edema…

like burrows. The physical exam finding that supports the final diagnosis of scabies is a papular rash on the patient's extremities that is extremely pruritic and in a linear pattern. Also, the placement of the rash, especially in the antecubital fossa, the fact that hydrocortisone made it worse, and excoriation also helps support the…

The supraspinatus is one of the four muscles that make up the rotator cuff in the shoulder. The body of the tendon lies along the supraspinous fossa of the scapula and attaches laterally to the humeral head. Its purpose is to withstand the inferior gravitational exertions set over the shoulder joint due to the downward pull of the weight of the upper limb. Not only that, but the supraspinatus also helps the shoulder joint stay in place. The supraspinatus muscle is primarily used for abduction.…

If you were to think of a horse today, you would say they are big, strong mammals. 55 mya, horses did not look like this. With the mannerisms of a deer and the traits of a dog, the first known horse darted through forests in North America during the Eocene Period. As time went by, many horses evolved like the Orohippus, Epihippus, Mesohippus, Miohippus, Parahippus, Merychippus, Pliohippus, Dinohippus, and finally the Equus. In Greek, ‘hippus’ means horse. Fossils of the first known horse were…
