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,…

One beautiful, sunny day in late fall when the leaves were changing colors and there was a little chill in the air, my sister and I were in her jeep with our mom scouring the area for sales. Tonya, my sister, treated us to Hardees biscuits to eat while on our search. We were all excited about different items we purchased from the various sales. The day was feeling like another normal day to look for yard sales with my family. As I stared out the window, thoughts of the peaceful day flooded my…

Stop reading if this doesn’t fit. Have you ever felt like you wake up, get ready, maybe get the kids ready, head off to work or school, take the old same route to work every day, get off work, go to the gym, go cook dinner, watch some TV, get ready for bed, then go to bed and do that same day all over again. If this sounds pretty familiar to you; then it might be wise to go back and reread the mindless autopilot rerun of a life that you may be living. We usually don’t open our eyes to see what…

It was recorded that 12 out of 35 patients, suffered from extrahepatic tumour. This was revealed by PET/CT combined and by CT scan single-handedly. The extrahepatic tumours in two of the patients were not detected by PET and PET/CT; those were recorded to have node of 2 –cm lymph in the hepatoduodenal ligament. It is furthermore, true that both forms of the scans (CT and PET/CT) reported extrahepatic tumour in patients that did not have it at all. The CT scan reported it in 3 out of 23 patients,…

The popular science article “You May Be Able to Train Your Brain to Be Fearless” published by The Huffington Post discusses the study “Limbic Activity Modulation Guided by Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging–Inspired Electroencephalography Improves Implicit Emotion Regulation” conducted by Dr. Talma Hendler. I find that the pop science article doesn’t portray the information correctly. It fails to include terminology and key results; specifically, the downsides of the study. The article’s sole…

The diagnosis of brain tumor plays an important role in image processing. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is suited for monitoring and evaluating brain tumors. Coronal, sagittal and axial are the three types of image orientation in brain tumors. The coronal are dividing the body into front and back halves. The sagittal is dividing…

Introduction: Gastro Intestinal Tract (GIT) is an important site for wide variety of lesions which include congenital, inflammatory, neoplastic conditions. The invention of flexible fiber-optic endoscope is a very good achievement towards the diagnostic field. With the use of this facility direct vision of diseased mucosa and biopsy of mucosal lesions, therapeutic induction and photographic visualization of the lesions are made possible. Aim of the study: Aim of this study is to know the…

I. Introduction: The purpose of the case study is to determine which of the patient’s cranial nerve(s) are damaged. The human brain and brain stem contain eleven pairs of cranial nerves to the neck and head, and one pair of cranial nerves to the abdomen and thorax. Each cranial nerve is numbered by a Roman numeral and in sequential order from cranial to caudal: (I) olfactory nerve carries sensory information to the brain and is responsible for the nose; (II) optic nerve carries sensory…
