Magnetic tape

anatomical structure. In the early 80s, the development of positron emission tomography gave the neural sciences the ability to produce 3D images of functional processes and magnetic resonance imaging provided an alternative to CT and X-ray imaging without the radiation exposure. Lastly, the domination that Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging has developed in the field of brain mapping came about in the 90s. As mentioned in the scientific literature, neuroimaging data can help map the…

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…

As research shows, the brain is divided into two hemispheres, the left and right. The brain is hemispherically lateralized, meaning that each hemisphere has their own set of specialized functions, making them differ greatly regardless of their similar makeup. The left hemisphere controls the right side of the body, spoken and written language, mathematical calculations, logical thought, and the analysis of detail. The right hemisphere instead controls the left side of the body, visual-spatial…

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…

Technology In Medicine Introduction As computers have become the back bone of our society, it is only natural that they would affect and influence medicine. Technology has basically found its way into every single human industry so it only makes sense that it could venture into and explode the medical field with extreme advances. Computers help doctors make medical research discoveries, help the world understand disease, test different medical techniques or samples and more; they…

Based on Torres- Claramunt et al. (2012), for vague symptoms related to MN, double lesions and for legal purposes, imaging studies is an essential resource for the accuracy and exact location of disease. To confirm the accuracy of the significance of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) versus ultrasonography (US), Fazal, Khan, and Thomas, (2012) collected 47 eligible candidates with clinical signs and symptoms of suspected MN. The qualified candidates divided into two groups: ist group (n= 25)…

For the synthesis of P2, a mixture of 1 (500 mg, 0.553 mmol), 2 (252 mg, 0.553 mmol), 3 (760 mg, 1.105 mmol), tris(o-tolyl)phosphine (P(o-tol)3) (13 mg, 0.044 mmol), and tris(dibenzylidene acetone)dipalladium(0) (Pd2(dba)3) (10 mg, 0.011 mmol) in anhydrous chlorobenzene (21 mL) was charged in a 100 mL round bottom flask. The resulting reaction mixture was heated at 150 °C under stirring for 3 days. Compound (2) (38 mg, 0.083 mmol) was added and stirred at 150 °C for 1 h. To that…

Nuclear energy plays an important in the medical field. Nuclear energy in medicine has been discovered more than 50 years ago and it has been widely-used ever since. The first use of nuclear energy in the medical field is for medical imaging which is a way of creating visual representation of what is going on in our body. Medical imaging began when Wilhem Rontgen discovered x-ray in 1895. However, at that time, the dangers of radiation was not known yet. Fast forward about 20 years later,…

magnets every day without knowing it; it might be fridge magnets, cabinet latches, speakers and other electronic devices. Magnets are used in many different fields such as in medicine, education, science, and just for fun. For example in medicine, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses very strong magnets and radio waves to show doctors inside the human body. In science, magnets can help store information on computers; they are also used in compasses, televisions, stereos, speakers, and…

Lasik surgery is the most common type of refractive surgery. The aimed result of the surgery is to refract light rays on the retina without damaging the surrounding cellular cells. Lasik surgery is a procedure that was developed to correct the vision problems of Nearsightedness, Long-sightedness and Astigmatism. Nearsightedness (myopia) is when you can see nearby objects clearly, but distant objects seem blurry. Long-sightedness (hyperopia) is when you can see distant objects clearly, but nearby…
