rhythm with a rate of 96 beats per minute (bpm). Laboratory examination revealed mild leucocytosis, anemia and thrombocytopenia, in addition to mild troponinemia. A chest radiograph revealed no focal consolidation or pleural effusions. A Computed Tomography (CT) scan of the chest demonstrated clear lungs with no main pulmonary artery thrombus. A CT scan of the head revealed no acute intra-cranial haemorrhage or…

First, a high school diploma is needed. An aspirant should complete high school studies with good grades. If the aspirant doesn’t have a diploma he/she is not going to be accepted in any nursing school because of this is a requirement. Second, enroll in entry-level training. Some good entry-level programs are courses like LPNs (Licensed Practical Nurse) or LVNs (Licensed Vocational Nurse). The duration of these important courses is just one year. These formal education programs include lectures…

1. INTRODUCTION Thiosemicarbazone is a derivative of imine which is formed when an aldehyde/ketone reacts with a thiosemicarbzide through a condensation reaction. The presence of the hetero atoms like Sulphur and Nitrogen makes these derivatives biologically active. Lately, great emphasis is laid on the synthesis and development of these derivatives reason being the wide variety of pharmacological activities exhibited by them. So far, thiosemicarbazones have been shown to exhibit analgesic and…

classification of stages helped doctors properly diagnose thousands of cases over the following years. In modern times these classifications are still used, on the other hand; the more definite and more common for diagnosis is to utilize Positron Emission Tomography (PET). PET imaging works through the use of a tracer that emits pairs of gamma rays which can then be transformed into a three-dimensional image of the scanned region by the machine. In this case doctors will inject F-labeled…

Results obtained are to be followed up within a week allowing the patient to be discharged from the hospital setting and following up with the thoracic surgeon. Prior to the patient’s follow up visit, the clinical patient was referred for a Positron Emission Tomography…

discovered that serials killers have a low orbital cortex activity. Orbital cortex means having less normal suppression of behaviors. For example, rage, violence, eating, sex and drinking. Scanning the brain, doctors use a machine called Positron Emission Tomography (PET). They have done research on the brain and have figured that a normal human brain has an average x shape on the brain but it was the opposite for a killer’s brain. The serial killer result was that the brain had a large x shape…

Cancer is described as uncontrolled growth of the abnormal body cells. Cancer associated with altered expression of cellular genes which its normal function is to regulate proliferation and differentiation of cell. Cancer is the second major cause of death for both men and women in the United States (Copstead & Banasik, 2013). According to National Cancer Institute (2014), there are over one hundred types of cancer existing. Types of cancers are named for the organ or type of cell in which its…

The biological approach links to the way we look at human behavior due to the combination of both internal and external forces. The basic principles of biology are applied when investigating the way humans behave towards certain events or circumstances. “It is the only approach in psychology that examines thoughts, feelings, and behaviors” from a biological point of view and it shows that all thoughts, feeling and behaviour have a biological cause. The biological approach uses many different…

1. There are 3 types of neurons. Motor, sensory, and Interneurons. The main parts of the neuron are dendrites, the soma, the axon, the axon terminal, the synapse, and the myelin sheath. The dendrites are branch like bushy extensions that receive the information and conduct impulses towards the cell body. The soma, or cell body, makes sense of the information and works It out. It also triggers the action potential and all or nothing response. The axon is a neuron’s extension that sends messages…

DIFERENCIAL “Nadie es capaz de señalar el lugar del cerebro dónde se desarrollan las buenas ideas.” This quote extracted from Miguel Delibes’ novel, from the fifties, ‘El Camino’, reflects how the brain has long-time been known to be the organ where intelligence inhabits, though no one has ever been able to precisely allocate where those ‘good ideas’ come from. The uncertainty surrounding this brain-intelligence dimension will consequently be exposed and discussed. Professor Hunt probably makes…
