Introduction

Electrophysiology is the study of the electrical nature of biological cells and tissues. It is the basis of several ophthalmological techniques that can provide information about the retinal function. Three distinct electrical potentials have been identified in retina viz. Early receptor potential (ERP), electroretinogram (ERG), and electrooculogram (EOG). ERP is generated by the photopigment molecules in the outer part of visual receptors. ERG extends from pigment epithelium to the inner nuclear layer. EOG is a function of pigment epithelium but also depends on outer and inner layers of the retina.
ERG arises in the retina after light stimulation and ...

Bipolar disorder (manic-depressive disorder) is a severe and highly morbid recurrent mood disorder. The prevalence of the disorder is 1.3% to 1.6% while its mortality rate is 2 to 3 times higher compared to that of the general population. The suicidal rate among bipolar disorder patients is about 10-20%. The disorder has diverse clinical manifestations ranging from mild depression to severe depression and/with psychosis. A severe variant of the disorder, which manifests in rapid cycles and is difficult to treat, is common in women. The disorder has high recurrence and suicidal risks.
Bipolar disorder is one of the two ...

Abstract
This project set out to examine the efficacy of a communication system known as the Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS), which is mainly used by individuals with autism. It is estimated that 30 to 40% of children with autism may not develop functional speech (Gerenser, 2009). With that being noted, this project broke down the PECS system in order to understand how each stage worked and why this method seemed to be the most ...

Treating Autism spectrum disorder has always been a major challenge for the physicians and the teachers. Recently, there has been a substantial increase in the number of researches being conducted for improving the understanding of the disorder especially concerning school based intervention programs. In this current research, the researcher has tried to explore the efficacy of video modelling as a method of interventional education for the children suffering with Autism spectrum disorder. The researcher tries to further explore how competent the deliverers of the intervention program feel about this plan of intervention. The rate of the disorder has been ...

Introduction

Nurses are responsible for delivering quality health care services that are acceptable to the patients. Since patient expectations and standards change frequently, quality improvement is an important part of nursing practice. The aim of quality improvement (QI) is to improve service level and promote patient outcomes. This paper is a quality improvement project that focuses on preventing falls in the mental health unit. Falls are an inherent risk for psychiatric patients such especially those with eating disorders. The objective of this paper is to improve quality of health care services by reducing falls in the mental health unit among patient ...

Magnesium is an essential nutrient

Magnesium is a mineral which is of great abundance in the human body. Along with enzymes, it is important for protein synthesis, muscle regulation and a host of other important cellular factors such as oxidative phosporylation, energy production which involves production and utilization of ATP and glycolysis. Additionally, Magnesium is required to assist in different cellular processes such as DNA replication and transcription and RNA translation(Barbagallo, 2012).
Magnesium is found usually in the bones and or in the soft tissues of humans. Next to Potassium, it is the most abundant ion in the body. The plasma actually contains ...

1. Summary
As a means to examine the effect of a new treatment proposed for agoraphobia or the fear of open places, a group of researchers forwarded an advertisement in the papers to recruit participants for the study. Out of the 87 individuals who responded, only 60 of them were considered as agoraphobic. The researchers placed 20 of the qualified participants under the new treatment setting (NEW), and it was further explained to them that they will be closely monitored for any possible side effects of the new treatment. On the other hand, another 20 of the participants were ...

However, carbohydrate management, alongside other matters is important in the management of diabetes. This paper ...

Background

The hospital has the potential to be a dangerous place for health care practitioners. Among healthcare workers, nurses, interns, technicians, residents, and housekeeping staff face the greatest risks of exposure to various injuries (Shriyan, Roche, Annamma, 2012). Back injuries, allergies, radiation exposure, violence, and stress are but some of the potential injuries that healthcare workers face.
Chief amongst the potential injuries that nurses face are needlestick injuries. Needle stick injuries commonly occur during subcutaneous injections, during the drawing of blood samples, during intravenous cannulation, and as a result of repeatedly replacing a cap onto an already used needle (Goniewicz, 2012). Needlestick ...

Abstract

Trichomonas gallinae, a flagellated protozoan, adversely affects the avian livestock, particularly the columbids. It causes an infection called necrotic ingluvitis and the disease can range from asymptomatic to lethal. The parasite affects the anterior gastrointestinal tract of the bird, forms granulomatous lesions, and blocks the oesophagus, making the bird starve, thus leading to death. The virulence of the strain varies with some strains causing up to 75% mortality. In UK, the infection was first recognized as an emerging infectious disease of British finches in summer of 2005. The sick dead birds exhibited signs of malaise such as lethargy and fluffed-up ...

This study was carried out in order to look at the validity of the evidence produced previously in relation to the difference between pathological related addictions and the non-pathological high engagement in the computer activities. The study was a survey done on a sample of 388 players of an online game known as MMORPG which tends to have multiple players. An online questionnaire was used to look at the psychometric measures of engagement ...

In the 2010 film Shutter Island, Leonardo DiCaprio plays Det. Teddy Daniels, a US Marshal investigating a disappearance at an isolated psychiatric facility. However, the truth of the investigation turns out to be far more complicated than he could have imagined; Daniels is, in fact, a man named Andrew Laeddis, who murdered his wife after she killed their children in an act of mania. The grief from this caused him to separate himself from that identity and become Teddy Daniels, a completely different person.

Teddy, as a character, is intelligent and high-functioning; he behaves well socially and emotionally among his peers and with his ...
