These types include thermal and mechanical. Thermal ultrasound uses a continuous pulse. The sound waves cause vibrations in the tissue which increases heat and causes a warming effect. This warming effect encourages healing in the tissues by increasing blood flow, reducing muscle spasms, and promoting healing with the production of collagen…

Clinical reasoning is embedded in the way of nurses’ thinking for patient care (Levett-Jones 2013). It is a spiral continuous mental process underpinned by critical thinking and a sound body of nursing knowledge to make clinical judgement (Levett-Jones 2013). Eight elements: consider patient’s situation, collect cues, process information, identify problems, establish goals, take action, evaluate outcomes and reflect on process are involved in the clinical reasoning cycle (Levett-Jones 2013).…

atrium and converges at the AV node. The QRS wave shows ventricular depolarization, and the T, ventricular repolarization. The QRS is the largest wave seen on the ECG because the ventricles make up the most mass of the heart. The pulse wave can be recorded using a pulse plehtysmograph placed on a subject’s finger along with the leads attached on the right ankle, right wrist, and left wrist. One way that a person’s heart rate can be affected is through placing a cold ice pack along their…

Fig. 1.1 Schematic principle of Electro Chemical Machining (ECM) 1.2 Principle of ECM Electrochemical machining removes material from the work piece by electrochemical process. The working principle is anodic dissolution in which the work piece as anode and the tool as cathode. Both electrodes are immersed in the electrolyte and electrical applied to these electrodes. The electric conduction is achieved through the movements of ions between the anode and cathode through the electrolyte. The…

Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) was first identified by Sir Ashley Cooper in 1921 and was further evaluated by Rob and Standeven in 1958 (McKenzie). Thoracic outlet syndrome is a nonspecific diagnosis that refers to an array of conditions caused by compression of the neurovascular structures that pass through the thoracic outlet (Nichols). These conditions can be named based on their location of compression or the cause of symptoms (McKenzie). Factors that predispose patients to the development…
