She states that sound and light makes the pain more unbearable and that the only time she does not feel the pain is when she is sleeping. Patient states that this is the fourth time she is having this type of headache. She…

Headache is diagnosed by history and physical exam (Mayo Clinic, 2013). Patient most likely has migraine headache without aura because patient has unilateral pain, throbbing quality, moderate intensity pain and nausea. According to Dunphy et al. (2015) migraine without aura requires two of the following characteristics; they are unilateral location, pulsating quality, moderate to severe intensity and exacerbation by physical activity. In addition at least one of the following must be present:…

substance (blue methylene and water).Wet mounts are used with a piece glass concave slide and a solid object for viewing it. A drop of water or other liquid substances is dropped onto the object and a cover slip is slid on top of the liquid. The tension of the surface of the water automatically will close the cover tight to the slide while still holding the object in place for accurate, focused viewing. Dry mounts are also used with a piece of a flat slide but only with a solid object instead of…

….. Of Life, Taker of Souls People say that the eyes are the windows to the soul, if only they that really meant.

The prompt was to compare the results of pennies dropped in water, versus the result of pennies being dropped into milk, both at 100 mL. The main purpose of this lab was to further discuss more scientific parts of this lab, such as the surface tension when the cylinder was close to overflowing for both the milk and water. Before performing this lab, my group and I created a hypothesis to reflect upon and to state what we believed would dictate the results. The hypothesis stated that if we…

INTRODUCTION : The concept of dentin adhesion presently used involves the nanomechanical retention which is due to polymerisation of hydrophilic monomers around acid exposed collagen fibres.1 The entanglement of these monomers within the exposed collagen fibres gives rise to the so called Hybrid layer , which is also referred as Resin infiltrated Dentin layer.2 The presence of hybrid layer is important for attainment of a leakage free interface between the cavity walls and resin composite.2…
