Test tube

Children and Media Devices Our media devices have become a valuable part of our everyday lives and the way we communicate; we get text messages for our dentist appointments and e-vites for birthday parties. Mostly this is viewed as a helpful and informative tool for staying in contact with friends and family or receiving news updates and for educational purposes. But, as with most things, there is a limit; how much is too much? My goal is to look specifically at children and the short and long…

Electronic devices are everywhere in world today, from internet of things to machine learning super computer to computer cars helping people communicate locally and globally with ease. People think of computers, cell phones and the Internet as the only sources for digital evidence, but any piece of technology that processes information can be used by criminals in a criminal intent. Investigators need to be able to recognize and properly seize potential digital evidence. Digital evidence is…

engineer and physicist named Wilhelm Roentgen created the X-ray. He was born on March 27, 1845 in Germany. So in 1895, Roentgen was playing around with a cathode ray tube and evacuated all the air inside of it and replaced it with another special gas. Then, he covered the tube so nothing escapes it, passed a current through it, and then the tube produced a fluorescent glow. After further investigations, Roentgen wanted to see how strong this “glow” was, so he put a piece of heavy black paper in…

intubation but often have difficultly during advancing the nasotracheal tube into the trachea, differences in pediatric airway structure relative to adults are thought to be the reason of this problem. The modified pediatric Magill forceps (modified by Farrukh and his colleagues) added anteroposterior firm grasping of the nasotracheal tube enables us for elevation and downward rotation of the nasotracheal tube which makes the tube in line with the axis of the trachea facilitating its passage…

1. The media I use the most is television, while print is my least used form of media. This is what I had expected, since I rarely feel the desire to sit down and just read during the school year, I’d rather watch several television episodes. Relaxing on my bed or couch watching TV or Netflix sounds like a more enjoyable evening, instead of sitting at my desk reading boring textbooks for physics. Plus, I traveled home this weekend and all of my recorded shows were ready to be watched, since…

nurse we evaluate patients who are referred for recurrent ear infections to determine if surgical intervention is recommended in the way of pressure equalization tubes, which act as a bypass to the eustachian tube. The pathophysiology of this condition is characterized by some form of intrinsic or extrinsic factor resulting in eustachian tube dysfunction from a classic understanding of the disease. However, some studies point to the initial inflammation occurring in the middle ear and the…

If, hypothetically, some sort of cosmic storm created an EMP signal or something of the other that rendered all digital equipment on earth inoperable, I would spend my time reading, playing ball games with my friends, hiking, biking, relaxing on the beach and enjoying nature in general. Also, I can give my eyes a break! Since our lives are constantly immersed in technology and activities, we can use the downtime to do what we don’t typically do — activities that require no electronics. Those…

“Watching TV Makes You Smarter” is an article that argues the unpopular opinion that watching TV may not be as bad for you as everyone thinks. Steven Johnson believes that depending on the show, TV can actually give your brain a good cognitive workout. He specifically believes that shows such as “24” and “The West Wing” that include complicated plots, make it so the viewer has to use their mind to understand what is happening in the episode. I can agree with this to a certain extent. TV now…

The Not so Good, the Bad and the Ugly of Television Viewing Much attention has focused on what television is doing to American audiences (Swason & Jones, 1951). Both academic and commercial research agencies have studied this medium (Swason & Jones, 1951). Television has the ability to reach a huge population of people 24 hours a day 365 days a year and has a huge impact on society and how others view the world. In today’s time Television is flooded with images of muscle bound men and thin women…

“There is always a risk when someone is fed through a tube. Liquid might enter the lungs. This can cause coughing and pneumonia… They can become plugged up, causing pain, nausea and vomiting” (Artificial Hydration and Nutrition par. 19). This quote shows that it is risky to use a feeding tube because liquid can enter the lungs and cause coughing and pneumonia. Pneumonia is an inflammation of one or both lungs, and it may fill with fluid. Feeding tubes are one of the many methods of artificial…
