Electroconvulsive therapy has been viewed as harmful by patients and members of the health care profession (Lauber, Nordt, Rossler, 2005). One reason why electroconvulsive therapy is used, it has been demonstrated to be an effective and safe treatment for many mood disorders (American Psychiatric Association, 2001). The therapeutic benefit of electroconvulsive therapy is a clinical trial that is effective to treat major depression (Arshad, Arham, Arif, et al., 2007). This research project…

Before listening to the music of Steve Reich, I assumed that all music had to have a definite form and path, with a distinguishable climax and resolution. I believed that the only thing that distinguished music from sound was the deliberate motion and phrasing of the melodies. Having never encountered minimalism, I had never considered a piece of music absent of these things and prematurely dismissed the movement as simply noise. Yet upon hearing Reich’s pieces, I was enthralled by the almost…

Introduction/Background Pulse oximetry (PO) is the one of most commonly used non-invasive medical device that evaluates the patient’s oxygen saturation in the peripheral arteries (SpO2). Thus, it alerts healthcare professionals and allow early detection of hypoxaemia in patients that requires prompt treatment. PO has become an essential tool that widely used in monitoring patients’ clinical conditions in intensive care, perioperative care, emergency care, acute and sub-acute healthcare…

this controversially unsolvable matter. Of the three influences that a driver may function under (sleep, alcohol, and drugs), there is a recurring pattern. The one aspect that they all point to is your heart rate. Sleep, along with alcohol makes your pulse slow to a significantly lower BPM (beats per minute), while most drugs cause the heart to pump blood faster than what is normal. Because of these signs, by observing patterns in the driver’s heart, PulseDrive is able…

tissue surface, where they can be evacuated. (figure 3) This process does not involve a significant increase in the tissue temperature as the diffusion time for heat conduction into the surrounding tissue is much longer than the millisecond (ms) range pulse duration. The energy of the laser light is almost entirely absorbed at the surface of the treated tissue without producing relevant collateral effects within the stroma. The current used excimer laser has a wavelength of 193 nm, where corneal…

the water molecules of the human tissues, provides the detectable signal. MRI release the RF pulse that is helpful in binding hydrogen atom. Working principle MRI equipment sends the RF pulse to the are needs to examined. Pulse helps the protons pesent in the exposed area to energise, and make them spin in different directions. Some of the tissues of the exposed area only excite and tune to the RF pulse, that frequency is called as Larmour frequency. MRI uses three types of electromagnetic…

Yoga is responsible for creating a fine balance between the endocrine and the nervous systems in a human body and therefore it is very successful in influencing the good functioning of different body organs and systems directly or indirectly. Yoga provides a unique interconnectedness between the physical, mental, and emotional levels of human body and gradually makes way for an easy understanding of various restrained areas of existence. All this in turn helps in attaining some psychological…

Cardiovascular System Have you ever felt your heart racing before a big exam? How about after running a marathon? That fast, steady pace, making you breathe heavily. This is part of your cardiovascular system. A larger system made up of your heart system and circulatory system. The heart works to push out about 5 liters, on average, of blood every minute, to the organs, tissues and cells of the human body. This hard working organ, fully matured is only about the size of your clenched fist. Each…
