I went to see ‘Elf the Musical Jr.’ on Thursday, December 1, 2016. The tickets were $15 For decent seats and in my opinion, the show plus the seats that we had were not at all worth the $15, that we spent. This musical is not a show that I would recommend to anyone, at anytime. It was that bad. But, to help you understand in my own opinion as to why ‘Elf the Musical Jr.’ was so bad, let me give you some feedback and get into a little more detail in the next few paragraphs. The first reason as…
Ultrasound (US) and MRI are commonly used in the clinical setting to confirm the presence and location of tendon thickening or other structural change and associated findings (Scott et al., 2013). However, although their clinical utility, both US and MRI are subject to artefacts and may reveal poor interobserver and intraobserver reliability. In comparison with MRI, ultrasound has the accuracy and sensitivity of US (0.63–0.83 and 0.68–0.87, respectively) and MRI (0.68–0.70 and 0.50–0.57,…
technology of mapping the brain can predetermine irregularities in the brain such as frontal lobe damage (p.26). Computer axial technology (CAT) scans combine with information on X-Ray, and Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) depicts a three-dimensional view of the brain in doing so, a very detailed image of the brain which illustrates areas within the brain that is damaged or diseased (Gaines and Miller, 2011, p.27). Furthermore, a positron emission tomography (PET) scan aids in researchers being…
The extensive recent research utilizing neuroimaging techniques to study pain in healthy subjects has many clinical implications for pain diagnosis and treatment. For the sake of brevity, this response will focus on fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imagining), a method that surveys changes in blood flow assumed to be reflecting alterations in neural activity and maps them to an anatomical representation of the patient’s brain (Borsook, Burstein et al. 2004). The culmination of several fMRI…
Bone is a common site of metastases for many primarily malignant tumors, being the third location after liver and lung [5]. Bone metastases are a major clinical concern as they can deteriorate the bone structure causing pathological fractures, vertebral/spinal instability, severe pain, spinal cord compression, functional impairment and increased mortality. The vertebral column being the most frequent site of bone metastasis and one of the major organs in human body strongly correlated to neural…
Alternative Imaging for MRI in MS MRI is a great tool for medical imaging and widely used for Multiple Sclerosis (MS), but it has some limitations in lacking specificity1. New emerging techniques such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) have the potential to address issues not resolved by current MRI techniques. TMS is a non-invasive technique used for monitoring the central nervous system (CNS) activity and response in a pain-tolerated manner. It…
understand how does the five imaging technologies work. The first imaging technology is called MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), this technology is proven to evaluate your bones, breasts, blood vessel, brain tumor, and organs in the abdomen, chest, and pelvis. MRI uses radio waves to detect your tissues and other organs inside the body. Since MRI is a powerful technology, the scanner uses force and strong magnetic to see the images of your body organs in detailed. Second is X-rays, which is told…
Neuroscientists have available to them several techniques to understand the relationship between brain and behaviour. However, the lesion method is the best one to establish that an area is involved in a certain task. Lesion studies have been beneficial in identifying these relationships based on examining brain damaged people. This paper will argue the important contributions the lesion method has made to neuroscience while exposing the problems associated with the functional brain imaging…
An MRI scan is a quick procedure that uses a magnetic field and pulses of radio wave energy to produce a static image of the brain. It provides a very detailed diagnostic 3D picture, distinguishing the different type of soft tissue and structures within the brain for the researchers. This provides excellent…
When preparing the cash flow analysis of a medical network, revenue, expenses, and profits must be considered. Revenue is generated by treating patients and rendering services such as an MRI. Costs are created by expenses in the network that include salaries for employees, purchase of medications and supplies, and payment of obligations incurred. Revenue does not necessarily mean that an enterprise is gaining profits and disregard for this detail may result in the network inadvertently,…
