Summary Annotation

One of the most often argued critical and debatable questions of modern psychology and literature is definitely Sigmund Freud and his Oedipus complex. Introducing his theory in the field of modern psychology and literature trend, Freud initiated the confrontation of opinions. However, there exist a lot of other valuators, according to which, Freud’s concept of Oedipus complex should be treated with great respect. Outstanding ...

The Corpus Callosum is the largest commissure, which facilitates communication between the right and left hemispheres of the brain. The views on the value of the Corpus Callosum are varied: from the most "useless" to those defining the higher cognitive functions of human brain structure. According to modern concept, the role of Corpus Callosum is not limited to the transfer of information. This commissure enables meta-control of the information in both hemispheres, as one of them must establish the function of its processing (Banich, 1995). Corpus Callosum not only transmits sensory information, ensuring its double representation in every hemisphere, ...

1. Biot’s respiration named after Camille Biot is an abnormal ataxic breathing pattern, where rapid series of shallow respiration are followed by a period of apnea. In order to known how AMP kinase, knock down leads to Biot respiration in mice; it is necessary to known how AMP kinase affects respiratory rate. AMP kinase is a metabolic sensor and is activated in response to stretching of the lung alveolar cells and other stressors. During respiration, the lung goes through cycles of expansion and contraction (Budinger et al., 2008). When the alveolar cells stretch during expansion, the 5′ AMP-activated ...

Mechanics function of the spine

The human body is meticulously designed with a complex and specialized skeletal system that helps not only provide support and structure for the body but enhances motion and stability. The spinal cord is the extension of the brain and it forms an essential part of the central nervous system. As people age the mechanics of the body are altered (NiosiOxland 2004). Degenerative processes are inevitable and as such, the facet joints, discs and vertebrae are affected. These degenerative issues of the spine include the degenerative disc disease, which is well known; others include Slipped discs, Spinal stenosis Osteoarthritis and ...

The term ‘Ergonomic' denotes two phrases of Greek, ‘ergon' that implies work, as well as ‘nomos' that implies laws. Currently, the phrase describes the art of devising a job or activity to fit a labourer and not compelling a labourer to fit a task (Salvendy 274). Ideally, this implies designing a workplace to offer the feasible attainable comfort as well as avoiding work-related injury or stress. Ergonomics encompasses all facets of a task that ranges from some physical stresses work places on nerves, bones, joints, muscles, as well as tendons to environmental issues that impairs vision, hearing, or overall ...

In most healthcare settings primarily in oncology care units, the patients being taken care of here are usually faced with a myriad of treatment and post-treatment problems which compromises their state of wellbeing. The fact that these patients are under intense cancer treatment process makes them experience a lot of pain which in most cases compromises the quality of their life (Ripamonti et al., 2012). Individuals battling this condition are usually affected by the pain which is influenced by different factors like physical, emotional or environmental. These factors have been established to affect the nervous system of the body ...

Introduction

Diabetes impacts the body’s capacity to secrete or utilize insulin, a hormone that regulates the level of sugars in the blood. Possible complications that occur due to diabetes include heart attack, cardiovascular disease, and kidneys failure. This research paper analyzes how diabetes impacts the human body.

Circulatory system

Diabetes contributes to the disposition of fats in the blood vessels over time. The fat deposits may inhibit blood circulation and result in hardening the blood vessels, a condition known as atherosclerosis. Baoge and Tao (2015) assert that atherosclerosis is a vital pathologic cause of cardiovascular disease. Also, inhibited blood circulation may ...

Vestibular Projections

Vestibular projections in the central nervous system consist of vestibular end organs which communicate with the brain stem and the cerebellum via the vestibular branch of the eighth cranial nerve. These nerves are also connected to the auditory fibers. Thus damage caused to these structures can cause both vestibular and auditory disturbances. The vital function of the vestibular system is to coordinate head and eye movements. The ability of the eye to stay focused on an object even while the head is moving is brought about by the vestibular system.

Vestibular Cochlear Nerve

The vestibulo cochlear nerve or the auditory nerve is ...

(Author Name) (Course Name/Number) The human brain is simply fascinating, and although it is at the very core of all human reasoning, intellect, and ability, it is still largely unexplored and misunderstood. The physical and social sciences have collaboratively conducted hundreds, if not thousands, of studies aimed at understanding the connection between the brain and human behavior, but even more interesting are the physiological processes that are intertwined to create a roadmap of human behavior, response, and consciousness that drives our very existence. These physiological processes are comprised of nervous systems functions, sensory system functions, and brain functions, which ...

Introduction

Pernicious anemia refers to a health condition that is associated with a deficiency in vitamin B12 due to its poor absorption in the intestines whereby this results to a reduction in the RBCs (red blood cells). Typically, the condition occurs as a result of inadequate production of IF (Intrinsic Factor) in the stomach whereby this leads to poor absorption of vitamin B12 (Bizzaro & Antico, 2014). Among the main symptoms associated with the disease include; fatigue, diarrhea, breathing difficulties, pale skin as well as tingling and numbness in the feet and hands. In reference to the case study, it is ...

Discuss the impact these pathological changes have on normal function, including how alveolar ventilation might be different in Mr Wenham compared to a normal individual. The hallmark pathological attributes of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are one, poorly reversible airflow obstruction and two, a progressive atypical inflammatory response within the lungs. The abnormal inflammatory response denotes the responses of the innate and adaptive immune systems to long-standing exposure to noxious gases and particles especially cigarette smoke. Notably, all cigarette smokers have some degree of inflammation ...

NeuroFascia is an interesting topic that teaches about the connection between the fasciae and the nerves, which traverses the entire body. After doing the method number two, which is being the person under treatment, I felt the essence of Neurofascial therapy when it comes to relieving body’s nerve problems. In fact, it was written that Neurofascial bodywork courses can deliver a natural sense of a full-range, nerve-oriented technique (neurofascia.com). It was also a different form of learning when I was the one who were being treated using the Neurofascial technique, which was quite different compared to being the ...

A. The human cerebral cortex is divided into three main areas: sensory, motor and associated areas (Association Cortex, 2016). Sensory areas belong to the peripheral nervous system. They extend from the spinal cord to the receptor cells located in all parts of the body. The primary function of sensory area to carry impulses from the receptor cells to the brain for interpretation. These impulses can be those of sensations like touch, pain, smell, taste and sight. The motor area or the primary motor cortex is located in the interior part of the brain at the central sulcus. Its pyramidal ...

A. An anticholinergic is a drug used in the treatment of diseases such as asthma, muscular spasms, insomnia and gastrointestinal cramps (Healthline, 2016). The drug is also used with anesthetics as it inhibits the action of parasympathetic nerve impulses by preventing acetylcholine reaching the receptor cells of nerve impulses. This may lead to memory loss, confusion, drowsiness and even sedation. These effects are more pronounced in old-aged people. Loss of muscular strength and fainting is a symptom which could be seen in the patient. Use of anticholinergic drugs is not recommended for patients with conditions like glaucoma, hyperthyroidism, heart ...

Part A: Cranial Nerves:

There are 12 pairs of cranial nerves emerging from the brain’s underside passing via cranial openings leading to various parts of the head, neck and body trunk. These nerves are naming, and numbering of these nerves is based on their position i.e. from the anterior to the posterior of the brain. In this case, the olfactory nerve is CN1 while CN12 is the hypoglossal nerve (Wissmann, 2013). In this paper, only four of the twelve cranial nerves shall be discussed i.e. the Olfactory nerve (CN1), Oculomotor Nerve (CN-III) which are sensory nerves, and the Trigeminal Nerve (CN-V) and ...

Liver is the largest ‘gland’ of the digestive system. It is located right under the dome of the diaphragm, coated by the capsule. It is distinguished the liver’s convex upper surface adjacent to the diaphragm, and a lower, downwardly facing and in contact with the back and abdominal organs. On the part of the upper surface of the liver it can be seen its right and left lobes, the boundary of which is the crescent liver ligament.

Ramachandran The secret functions carried out by our brain first came into the attention of Dr. Ramachandran while examining the case of an amputee, Derek Steen, who lost his right arm above the elbow in a car accident. His condition garnered a curiosity in Ramachandran when he (Derek) reported that he had felt tingling and stroking sensations in his right arm (that was removed surgically) while shaving the left side of his face. This opened an opportunity for Dr. Ramachandran to study phantom limbs in detail. ...

The nervous system (NS) denotes a collection of human body organs as well as connections, which have expressly differentiated cells referred as neurons or other specialized biochemicals, tissues, and supportive cells that assist in the normal working of the human body NS (Swanson, 2015). The human nervous system helps in addressing acquisition, processing, understanding, storing, as well as coordinating or transmitting signals in the body. Therefore, many body organs, as well as sensory organs, possess discrete and different roles. The nervous system (NS) can be categorized into two, that is, peripheral nervous system (PNS) as well as central nervous ...

Automobiles are an essential part of the modern world of travelling and rapid busy life. And, like every other mechanical device, from time to time they need changing. The question of changing a car is always very important for the car owner, as the car market provides a wide choice of different products. This choice depends on the manufacturer, price, model, equipment, etc. However, it is worth highlighting one more factor that influences the choice of the car: its previous usage. According to the Q3 Used Vehicle Market Report, the amount of sold used cars increases by 2-3% with ...

Pathophysiology

One of the most important parts of achieving the goal of being able to meet the patient’s entire healthcare (i.e. nursing) needs is to ensure that the underlying disease’s pathophysiology is well understood by all the stakeholder groups. These groups, in this case, would include the medical and healthcare practitioners, patients, and their respective family members. It would be a lot easier to instruct a patient to have a patient undergo a prescribed healthcare routine once he understands the nature of his condition, why each procedure is being done, and how they collectively contribute to the end-goal ...

Urinary Tract Infections

Introduction Microbes such as bacteria, fungi and viruses are known to be the leading causes of infection. An infection of the urinary tract is associated with the urine formation system. The tract is colonized by several health bacteria. Infective ones are quickly eliminated from the system when available. The parts of the system that can be infected are the bladder a disease called cystitis. Urethritis affects the urethra, and the kidney is pyelonephritis which is caused by the diffuse spread of infectious organisms into the kidneys (Rechtsteiner & Schappert, 2006). The bacteria E. Coli is the primary cause of UTIs. ...

It has been well documented that Emily Dickinson wrote poetry for herself and her friends, not for publication. Her expression, found in her poetry, is an expression of self, often conflated as thoughts entered her mind from multiple directions creating mature works that bent and formed new visions different and fuller than that original image at the beginning of each poem. Emily Dickinson’s reclusive nature is revealed in much of her poetry. It is in those written lines where she explores her world. Her work, relegated to letters to her friends, was from her soul and not meant ...

Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disorder, which affects the central nervous system. It was first described as a separate disease in 1868 by Jean-Martin Charcot (Compston and Coles, 2008). The average prevalence of the disease globally is 30 people from 100000 (Milo and Kahana, 2010). However, the incidence of multiple sclerosis varies greatly depending geography. While in the African countries it happens comparatively rarely, its frequency is increasing consistently in Asia and America. In Europe, multiple sclerosis happens with the highest rate in the world. There are four clinical forms of multiple sclerosis (Compston and Coles, 2008). Relapsing-remitting MS ...

Rene Descartes is a French philosopher and mathematician of the XVI century, considered as a father of modern philosophy. He defined an opening point of existence and he is an author of well-known dictum “Cogito ergo sum” that means “I think; therefore I am.” He was influenced by Plato, Aristotle, Anselm and Thomas Aquinas. Descartes’s famous proofs of God’s existence are based on the system of personal experience and the “I” conception but in his speculations, it was not a person that have a conversation with God but the idea of the human “I” as a thinking ...

Three nursing interventions for a post-operative patient

The three nursing interventions that can be offered to a post-operative patient include the diagnosis for acute pain, diagnosis for nausea and diagnosis for risk levels for infection (Heater, Becker, & Olson, 2008). Acute pain that is related to reflex muscle and surgical incision are diagnosed by complaints of restlessness, pain, irritability and facial grimacing. This type of pain can be corrected by assessing the location of the patient’s pain and giving him or her appropriate analgesic and teaching and then assessing their correct usage of the same. Other than drugs, other methods such as massage, distraction and imagery ...

Cochlear implants are very instrumental in ear care. These developments are enabled by advances in technology; hence, allowing medics to offer the world of sound, music, and speech to people who would otherwise spend their entire or large part of their lives in soundless cocoons. As research indicates, the United States has had more than 30,000 cochlear implants on people across all age groups since 1999 (Ear Surgery Information Center, 2016). However, this eminent success in cochlear implant surgery has not really watered down the discourse surrounding the effects and implications of cochlear implants. Particularly, there has been ...

DHEA:

Dehydroepiandrosterone, or DHEA, is a hormone the human body produces via the adrenal glands, which are above the kidneys. The exact effect of DHEA is not yet fully identified; however, it is believed to be a precursor of the female and male sex hormones, namely estrogen and testosterone, among others. Precursors are substances that the body converts into hormones.

The production of DHEA usually reaches its peak around the mid-20s and declines ever after. The same applies to estrogen and testosterone, whose production also declines with age. For that reason, if an individual wants to increase their hormone levels, it ...

Cranial nerves refer to the nerves that emerge from the brain directly. This is in contrast to the spinal nerves that come from spinal cord segments. There are 12 pairs of cranial nerves in human and only the both the first and the second cranial nerve pairs originate from cerebrum. All the other pairs originate from the brainstem. Other than the cranial nerve II, all the other cranial pairs belong to the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The cranial nerve ganglia come from the central nervous system (CNS) (Patestas and Gartner).

The seventh pair of cranial nerves is the ...

Computers have been developed in a manner that they function in a similar manner as human beings. They have been developed in a manner that they support most of the human activities. Like human beings, computers have been extended to exclusive memory. The memory aids the computer to conduct several roles. However, the operations are influenced by excellent programming that a human being extends to these IT systems. Computer devices may be divided into three main sections; input device, storage device or output device. Each of these sections plays a unique role in advancing the overall role of computers.

This will be followed by an introduction to macro and micro nutrients. Nutrients are regarded as part of treatment in health care settings. For example, postsurgical and burn patients are recommended diets high in protein to aid anabolic processes in wound healing and tissue regeneration. Oral or parenteral iron is given to patients in severe anemia. Therefore, their use is regulated by clinical guidelines to reduce the ...

Introduction

The CNS is a connection of nerves which executes control over the mind and most of the body functions. It is made up of two parts which are the brain and a spinal cord. The brain forms the core of our thoughts by interpreting what lies within our external environment. Majority of the movements made by the body originate from the brain. It coordinates those movements and ensures that they are well executed to enable human beings to carry out their daily duties. Information which originates from body organs like the eyes, nose and the ears is interpreted by the brain ...

Cranial Nerve Palsy

Cranial Nerve Palsy is when the nerve is lacking its functionality. This condition may cause a partial paralysis or weakness of the areas, which the affected nerves serve. In some cases it may cause complete paralysis and weakness on such affected nerves (aapos.org). This nerve condition can be traumatic, congenital, or can be vascular disease and infections. Symptoms of Cranial Nerve Palsy affects the eye movements and diplopia. The orientation of diplopia is going to be different based on the affected cranial nerve. Besides limited movements of the eyes, this condition also causes droopy eyelid or ptosis and sometimes ...

The Central Nervous System is the control system of the human body; it is the core of the human nervous system. The Central Nervous system is made up of the spinal cord and the brain. The brain uses the electrical signal, which is generated by the Central Nervous System. These electrical signals travel via the Peripheral Nervous System effector cells. These effector cells carry out physiological responses whenever the brain demands it. Axonal regeneration occurs successfully in the Peripheral Nervous System. However, regenerative axonal growth starts occurring in the Central Nervous System too, but stops two weeks after the ...

Introduction

Music therapy is an evidence-based clinical use of musical interventions to achieve individual goals within a therapeutic relationship by a certified practitioner. Music therapy may sound not like a very much practiced medical procedure but that is not true. In fact, music therapy dates back as early as ancient civilizations like Egyptian, Indus valley and old Chinese civilization. Music combined with various dance forms was used at that time to treat various illnesses. Even today music therapy is used to address physical, cognitive, emotional and social needs of an individual. After assessing the problems of a patient, a certified music therapist provides treatment which ...

Human perception of sounds is not only performed by an ear as a part of the body. In fact, a person hears through the organ of hearing, which has got complex structure. The ear is only a visible part of it. Auricle or pinna essentially acts as a funnel through which a person catches vibrations in the air. Coming through the auditory canal, they affect the eardrum – a thin membrane that separates the outer and middle ears. Then the eardrum vibrations are transmitted to the auditory ossicles and reach the inner ear, the main part of which is an organ called the bony ...

There are more than 5000 genetic disorders up to date. These genetic disorders are most evident at birth or during the onset of early childhood. This results to admission in different programs in rehabilitation centers, school programs in order to help the victims affected by such conditions. These disorders can primarily affect the body system, muscles and the respiratory system. One such disorder is the Rett syndrome. Rett Syndrome is a phenotypically distinct progressive X-linked dominant neurodevelopmental disorder that affects females (Volkmar et al, 2007). There are different types of Rett syndrome.

Abstract

The knee is the most important part of a human’s lower anatomy. The knee consists of three knee bones, namely the kneecap, thighbone, and shinbone. Ligaments connect the three knee bones, acting as a hinge and a joint for proper movement. Of the four ligaments located in the knee, the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) – located below the thighbone and shinbone – is much prone to injuries. A knee injury occurs when an ACL suffers from any kind of damage. The cause of ACL injury could involve collision between the knee and objects, and awkward movement, which may cause awkward angling of legs ...

Also, the state of minds of the individuals will be fundamental to distinguish whether they are vulnerable to taking drugs or not. These factors will be identified and classified either as dependent or independent variables through ...

Introduction

Matters of sexuality and fertility especially during rehabilitation for the past thirty years have remained controversial because not so many people want to talk about them (Phelps et al., 2001). Persons with spinal cord injuries are in need of answers on how to handle their sexuality. These questions cannot be ignored. Most of them ask questions about their attractiveness, ability to have kids and relationships. To make the matters worse, studies on sexuality among people with spinal cord injuries are scarce (Karellou, 2003). On a positive note, advances in this sector have provided ways through which such people can ...

The human brain consists of two halves, the right and left hemispheres (Kennison, 2013). Also known as the logical brain, the left hemisphere regulates language and analysis. On the other hand, the right hemisphere, otherwise known as the creative brain, regulates imagination and daydreaming (Kennison, 2013). Researchers in the early nineteenth century discovered that an injury on the left hemisphere caused the loss of language and speech abilities (Kennison, 2013). Conversely, injuries on the right hemisphere did not cause the loss of language and speech abilities. Further studies have supported the hypothesis that language and speech abilities are ...

Diabetes refers to a metabolic disorder of several etiology. The disorder is typified by chronic hyperglycemia and metabolic disturbances of fat, carbohydrate and protein due to insulin deficiency, defect in its action or a combination of both (Alberti & Zimmet, 2004). The chronic hyperglycemia leads to damage, dysfunction of several organs including the eyes, heart, blood vessels, kidneys and nerves (American Diabetes Association, 2011). Diabetic patients present primarily with excessive thirst, loss of weight, blurring of vision and weight loss. Long standing diabetes is associated with complications such as retinopathy, cardiovascular diseases, neuropathy, hypertension and metabolic abnormalities. There are two types of ...

The Intervertebral Disc Disease

The intervertebral disc disease is a condition that involves herniation, deterioration and intervertebral disc dysfunction. The condition is common among the aging group. As a person is aging, the nucleus pulposus gradually dehydrate, and this limits its ability to transfer and uniformly distribute the loads inter-vertabrally. Instead, the loads are transferred non-uniformly via the annulus fibrosus as it undergoes a progressive structural degeneration (Shankar, 2009). This condition gradually manifests itself in the form of pain as one is carrying a heavy load. However, the severity of the condition varies from one individual to the other. Disc degeneration has become a relatively common concern among ...

Hearing my heart beating faster and faster, my palms get sweaty, and the feeling of restless butterflies in my stomach all let me know that my nerves are strung tight. Looking around me, everyone seems like they are a sea of calmness. Soft murmurs can be heard from an occasional speaker while questions fly around in my mind. I look down at my drink and back up at the room, still thinking about the moment that has not come. Waiting for someone to step forward with a greeting while hoping I can succeed this time. Occasionally, someone looks my way. ...

When people are visiting the museum, they usually look only for the works of art that are considered to be masterpieces. They neglect to enjoy the works of less prominent artists. They are content afterwards, but that is not the point. In order to fully appreciate art, a person has to be able to find it in the most unusual places. There is general beauty and particular beauty (Baudelaire, 1964, p. 1). Both the present and the past are interesting. The past has historical value and the present is happening right now. (Baudelaire, 1964, p. 1). However, inspiration can ...

Pain Management for the Obstetric Patient

Pain is subjective and individual responses to pain vary. The response of every client to labor pain is also unique. Perception and expression of labor pain is influenced by a number of factors. These factors include cultural factors, individual pain tolerance, anxiety, level of education, attitudes of the client towards pregnancy, age, and parity. Management of labor pain is a key goal of intrapartum care (Simkin, Lockwood, Eckler, & Klein, 2014). This paper will discuss pain management for the obstetric patient. It consists of two parts. The first part will focus on the causes and management options for pain and discomfort during ...
