Traumatic brain injury is an acquired injury to the brain that results from an external blunt or penetrating force to the head while; intentional hypoxia is the loss of oxygen supply to the brain which leads to a continuum of injury severity. A review of current literature on this topic suggests that comparisons can be readily drawn between traumatic brain injury and hypoxic brain injury in a rehabilitation setting. Even so, diagnosis of hypoxic brain injury and traumatic brain injury is essential in providing guidance on decisions of treatment. Treating intentional hypoxia, however, involves an establishment of the desired ...

A patient fall in this regard refers to an unplanned floor descent with or without resultant patient injuries. For older persons in the USA above 65years, unintentional falls account for the commonest cause of nonfatal injuries (Ambrose, Paul & Hausdorff, 2013). Additionally, accidental falls are among the commonest reported hospital incidents which complicates approximately 2% of all ...

Project Management

The Accidental Project Manager (Cont.)

strains?” Researches on viruses have been carried out since time immemorial. Several vaccines, therapeutics, and targeted drug delivery systems have been developed only through extensive research on virulent strains. However, genetic engineering and molecular biology techniques have enabled scientists to manipulate, and develop new recombinant strains that may not occur in nature spontaneously. Proper containment of these engineered strains is essential as they might have properties that are entirely different from their parent strains. In September 2011 a researcher from Erasmus Medical Center, Rotterdam revealed how he had engineered avian influenza strain H5N1, and made it “more receptive to ...

The world consisting of atoms is today’s undeniable reality. Ask any child, “what does the world consist of?” and the answer will be “Of atoms.” This concept is nowadays extremely firmly rooted in our culture because now it holds the status of the scientifically proven fact. However, well up to the 20th century, the world was free of the scientifically proven elementary particles, and there were only theories of what is the world's microscopic structure provided by bright individuals such as philosophers, scientists, and theologians. The one proposed by Democritus is by far the most ancient, however, it ...

Investigation of Bodies in Water and Asphyxia

Essay Abstract Asphyxia is the blocking off of oxygen to the brain. There are several ways for this phenomenon to take place. These involve strangulation, drowning, positional and traumatic asphyxia, and suffocation. However, for forensic pathologists and police investigators, this is not as simple as it may seem. Asphyxia is a complex occurrence that does not lend itself to a simple classification. There are numerous subtypes and factors that have to be considered in asphyxia-related death investigation. For instance, once a body is found in and extracted from the water, investigators have to look for specific aspects, such as ...

I decided to choose two short stories for this essay: The Lottery written by Shirley Jackson in 1948 and Edward J. Delaney’s Clean. It looks like both plots and authors do not have many similarities at the first sight. Jackson was a popular American writer of her time and influenced some famous authors like Stephen King. The Lottery describes a world where villages and towns sacrifice one person a year to have better harvest. They choose the victim by using lottery and then all residents kill the “winner” with rocks.

The primary functioning of a gun is violence or aggression against other people regardless of the objective.

Guns are one of the most dangerous weapons to possess because the owners could deliberately or accidentally use the guns on themselves or their families. Although gun activists refer to the right to preserve the safety of the individual, guns ...

In his article “On Being an Atheist,” H.J. McCloskey has argued in many instances that absolute certainty of God’s existence cannot be proved using the “proofs” embedded in classical arguments. According to McCloskey, the classical proofs for God’s existence do not portray Him as the all-knowing, all-powerful, or all-perfect being that Christians perceive Him to be. The existence of evil in a world created by a God with the qualities of being all-knowing, powerful, and perfect leads McCloskey to conclude that atheism would be more comforting than to believe in such a God. McCloskey’s disapproval of ...

Voluntary Act is a form of crime that results from willing choice as well as independent will. The state statute clearly defines voluntary act as an offence.

They further argue that the Second Amendment, which protects individuals' right to own arms, is irrelevant in the wake of efficient law enforcement agencies (Krouse 6). To them, individuals might need guns only for recreational purposes such as hunting. Conversely, the opponents (conservationists) argue ...
