Thorax

Introduction Sauropods, the large behemoths of their time, have incredible body structures that include massive weight and length. While a lot is known about these dinosaurs from current fossil records, there is still much to learn. The ability to move and support their appendages (primarily the neck and tail) is one aspect of these dinosaurs where research continues to provide new answers. This paper seeks to examine some of the more current research regarding sauropod neck functionality and…

No matter how small a human is, every being deserves chance to be treated. Fetal surgery has been introduced and developed rapidly over the past decades. It has become an important way to save and provide a good quality of life for the unborn children. Over the years several approaches have been developed for conducting fetal surgery, depending on patient’s condition and the best ways to repair the abnormality in the uterus. As other medical interventions, fetal surgery has its risks and…

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…

Darwin’s second observation was that of sexual selection (Hosken & House, 2011). Sexual selection selects for traits that make an individual more successful in finding a mate and producing offspring (Kansehiro, 2009). Most often, this type of selection involves males (Hosken & House, 2011). A prominent example of a male trait that is subject to sexual selection is courtship behaviour (Eberhard, 1994). Courtship allows mates (most often females) to gain information about the quality of their…

Psychological Impacts of the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars Have you ever watched the movie American Sniper, Lone Survivor, or any other movies based on the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, and replayed the action scenes because “that was so cool”? If you have, your definition of “cool” severely varies from the definition of soldiers fighting in those wars. Those scenes, which may excite the average United States citizen to watch, may happen to be the memories that haunt and mentally tear apart the…

Obstructive rest apnea is a typical unending illness in Western culture whose commonness is evaluated at 2% of ladies and 4% of men in the overall public. It is portrayed basically by repetitive impediment of the upper aviation route that outcomes in oxyhemoglobin desaturation and occasional feelings of excitement from rest. It now creates the impression that even gentle to direct rest apnea is connected with the improvement of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and cardiovascular danger. With…

considered model organisms for the study of genetics. Some characteristics that contribute to this status are their quick lifecycles, large amount of offspring, and the presence of only four chromosomes. Drosophila melanogaster contain bristles on the thorax, head, legs, and abdomen. These bristles are used as a sensory mechanism, allowing fruit flies to detect their surroundings as they fly and walk around their environment (Yehuda, 2011). The rate of mutation, particularly in bristles, occurs…

Introduction: The purpose of the case study is to determine which of the patient’s cranial nerve(s) are damaged. The human brain and brain stem contain eleven pairs of cranial nerves to the neck and head, and one pair of cranial nerves to the abdomen and thorax. Each cranial nerve is numbered by a Roman numeral and in sequential order from cranial to caudal: (I) olfactory nerve carries sensory information to the brain and is responsible for the nose; (II) optic nerve carries sensory information…

stopped. These include poor health and poor quality of life. Intimate partner violence is one of the most common causes of injury among women. Women who are victims of domestic violence are more likely to sustain injuries in the head, face, neck, thorax, breasts, and abdomen. In case of forced sex gynaecological problems are is one of largest physical health difference between battered and non-battered women. The health conditions include include sexually-transmitted diseases (STDs), vaginal…

Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Porifera Classification information for Poriferans: Poriferans, better known as sponges, consist of 5000 known species, all located primarily in marine and fresh waters (Myers, 2001a). They are multicellular, heterotrophic, invertebrates with an irregular shape and no distinct pattern of symmetry (Myers, 2001a). Overall, they are the simplest of animals; thus, lacking any true tissue and/or germ layers (Myers, 2001a). Furthermore, they are known to be highly sessile,…
