Who Owns the Future in the Medical Industry In the medical industry, robots are becoming an important part (Anandan). They do not work on their own, but are controlled by the human to perform the work (Anandan). What is the impact on your job when robots are cheap? “Robots are never going to be cheap” Newton Medical Center Obstetrics doctor, Kent Bradley said in an interview (Bradley). If they do become cheaper, they will be more available to smaller hospitals (Bradley). Newton Medical Center…

The modern brain-imaging techniques have provided the opportunities for the psychologist to investigate the active brain. The brain-imaging technologies are useful in neuropsychology as they allow the researchers to examine the active brain. The brain-imaging technologies also enable the researchers to see where specific brain activities happen, therefore to study the localisation of function in the living brain. The correlations between activity and behaviour can be provided as well, even…

Learning Kindness Kindness is very frequently associated as a behavior marked by a compassionate temperament, moral characteristics and concern for others. It is known as a virtue and recognized as a value in many cultures and faiths and various studies have shown the benefits of performing acts of kindness, not only for the recipient, but for the giver, as well. In recent years, a “random acts of kindness” movement began, encouraging others to spread kindness wherever they go, helping to…

Have you ever wondered what the point of sleep was? Or, how we dream? A lot of scientists have researched and tried to determine why we sleep, but a true answer has never been concluded, but a strong theory has stated that us as humans may have evolved from animals that would sleep to put their body in a resting state, to keep them away from harm and to keep their body at a well-rounded temperature throughout the night. All mammals sleep, including marine animals such a platypus and a whale.…

Pain and Unjust Mornings. I wonder how many people enjoy waking up every morning to do the exact or almost the exact same thing over and over again. Wake up, brush your teeth, take a shower, do your daily chorus, and spend time with your family. This is the common order of how my day goes, I usually know precisely what I do and what happens to me on a daily basis, but on this very day I was not as lucky as I had hoped to be. Let’s walk through my day, so that thou can see how tragic and…

Since multitasking is here to stay, there are a couple suggestions on how to be able to manage multitasking and use of technology. One of the ways is to work on a single task before moving on. The reason being, when we are assigned a task, the prefrontal cortex of the brain takes control and assigns different parts of the brain to handle them, (Shao & Shao, 2012,p.77). By being focused on one, we ensure the fact that task will get completed. Think of a To Do List. How many times did it seem…

any other cells in the body, when neurons are activated they consume glucose and oxygen to fuel their activity and they produce metabolic waste. According to Sadock, Sadock, and Ruiz (2015), a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) device works from this principal by using high magnetic fields and radio frequencies to indicate activity. The fMRI helps the medical professional to peer into brain activity, not by measuring brain activity directly, but by observing the flux of oxygen…

Advantages of Endoscopic Septoplasty Endoscopic Septoplasty is associated with several advantages over the traditional one. It has many benefits such as magnification, suboptimal view of middle turbinate, better illumination and visualization. Separation of collagenous fibers connecting the perichondrium and periostium to underlying bone and cartilage is made visible with endoscope during surgical dissection. Mucosal disruptions are recognized immediately, and their size may be controlled using…

Purpose: The purpose of this memorandum is to present an analysis of the person(s) who would read this report. This report was created as one of the projects for a Writing for Technical Professional class. The goal of this project was to analyze the success of a medical innovation. My chosen topic was Focused Ultra Sound that enhance the drug delivery for treatment of CNS diseases. Audience Description: While writing this technical report, I imagined 2 types of people who would read it. The…

Advantages of MRI: By choosing the appropriate pulse sequence and pulse sequence parameters, MRI has the ability of producing images by different contrast mechanisms giving it tremendous flexibility. Disadvantages of MRI: INFLAMMATORY PROCESS OF THE LUMBAR SPINE Spondylodiscitis: Introduction: Spondylodiscitis is a rare primary infection of the intervertebral disc with secondary infections of the vertebrae. It can lead to osteomyelitis of the spinal column. Predisposing factors include age,…
