Claude Monet, a french painter, painted the Church at Varengeville, Grey Weather, in the year 1882, in the midst of his artistic career. Varengeville-sur-Mer is a small commune in the Seine-Maritime of the north-western region in France. The painting is oil paint on a modest sized canvas about 25 by 32 inches. This oil landscape hangs directly on the wall, at a horizontal orientation, and is in a simple ornate frame. Monet’s painting is currently located at the Speed Art Museum, in Louisville,…

responsibility. Doctor Bell failed to use his discretion and professional judgement when he reviewed the patient’s medical symptoms and the CT images which lead to the misdiagnoses. More importantly, when Doctor Bell learned of Mr. Orr’s debilitating stroke, he should have assumed responsibility for his portion of error in misdiagnosing Orr’s…

could occur from poor dental health? – Poor dental health can cause or worsen conditions such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes, premature birth and even respiratory disease. What’s the link between stroke and gum disease? – There have now been several studies carried out, all looking at the connection between strokes and mouth infections. They’ve found those who’ve suffered a stroke are more likely to have gum disease than people who haven’t. This is once again down to bacteria from gum…

transfer of behavior training to everyday life. CIAT-II encompasses all of these components. The authors address feasibility and treatment efficacy of CIAT-II. Participants in the study consisted of four native English speakers with chronic stroke (>1 year post-stroke) exhibiting characteristics of a moderate Broca’s aphasia. The ages of the participants ranged from 60 to 83 years with a mean age of 71 years. All participants were right hand dominant prior to the…

Reflect, Renew, Reborn Locked-in syndrome is not a disorder you want to have. The syndrome most commonly occurs after a stroke that destroys the brain stem, and leaves the victim in a state of paralysis, or as Jean-Dominique Bauby states that he was: “reduced to the existence of a jellyfish.”(25) This statement really shows the intensity of the disorder. No muscles are able to voluntarily move except for the eyes which you blink to communicate. Locked-in syndrome is so rare that according to…

Woodrow Wilson got the most out of his presidency term, and his life. 2 years after Woodrow was elected in 1912 the First World War broke out in Hungary. Wilson was specifically acknowledged because of his 14 points speech and his plan on post World War One world peace. Because of Wilson's peaceful strategies for America's war tactics, Woodrow Wilson won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1920, a ceremony which he could not attend. Wilson's greatest challenge as being the president of the United States…

After electrical cardioversion, the doctor may prescribe anti-arrhythmic medications to help prevent future episodes of atrial fibrillation. Medications may include: dofetilde (Tikosyn), flecainide, propafenone (Rythmol), amiodarone (Cordarone, Pacerone), and sotalol (Betapace, Sorine). Although these drugs may help maintain a normal heart rhythm, they can cause side effects, including: nausea, dizziness, and fatigue. Rarely, they may cause ventricular arrhythmias – life-threatening rhythm…

How Study to be Conducted This study will focus on protecting patients from fall and fall-related injuries after stroke in an Acute Rehab Unit. At first it would identify the patients who are at great risk of fall currently and after going back to the community. The Morse Fall Risk Assessment (MFA) tool will be used to initially identify fall risk patients in the unit. CDC’s Injury Center has created a tool kit, called STEADI (Stopping Elderly Accidents Deaths and Injuries). It is an algorithm…

in real life. Monet’s vision is a little more conceptual. Besides illusion of depth, the way both artists use impasto is unalike. Monet has much larger brush strokes and less blended paint. In the sky, each paint stroke looks like an individual cloud. In the sea, the brush strokes look like their own waves. Pissarro uses unblended brush strokes as well, but on a much smaller scale. It is easy to tell in the river and dock. Different colors are placed next to each other and from far away it looks…
