...case that doesn’t need to be looked at. Stroke works much like a water hose with a knot in it, in the sense that the water will stop flowing while the knot is present. Strokes happen when blood flow has been restricted from the brain, causing the brain cells that were present in that area to die off. This often results in the victim losing control of one side of the body depending on which side of the brain was attacked, loss of basic motor and communication skills, quick or slow behavioral...

...Time between QRS and the start of ventricular contraction(s). 1. Observe the heart and describe its behavior. Is this behavior consistent with what is shown in the data above? Yes. The heart of the frog rhythmically contracts and relaxes. This behavior is supported by the general fluctuations observed force values and the consistent patterns of the ECG occurring in regular intervals. 2. Explain the basis for the delay between the atrial and ventricular contractions. The said delay is mainly caused by the A-V node and its adjacent conductive fibers, causing an overall delay of 0.13 second (Guyton and Hall 2006). Conduction in the transitional, nodal, and A-V bundles is dampened by the decreasing number of gap junctions along the pathway of conduction, creating great resistance against the conduction of excitatory ions from one fiber to another. This ensures that the atria completely empty blood into the ventricles before ventricular contraction occurs. 3. Describe the relationship between the ECG QRS complex and the beginning of ventricular contraction. What is the physiological significance of this relationship? A typical electrocardiogram normally exhibits P, Q, R, S, and T waves, all of which represent electrical voltages produced by the heart. The QRS waves occur as a result of the electrical depolarization of the right and left ventricles, an event that triggers ventricular contraction and the subsequent rise in ventricular pressure. This complex is used to determine...

...Junk Food and Child Obesity Jaya Sinha Childhood obesity has become a prominent health issue in developed countries and has now gained access in the developing world as well. Secular trends indicate increasing prevalence rates of childhood obesity in India, from 9.8% (2006) to 11.7% (2009). Similar increase can be seen in other developing countries; 4.1% (1974) to 13.9% (1997) in Brazil and from 12.2% (1991) to 15.6% (1993) in Thailand. Important determinants of childhood obesity include poor dietary habits, sedentary lifestyle, high socioeconomic status, unawareness and false beliefs about nutrition, marketing by transnational food companies, increasing academic stress, and poor facilities for physical activity. Obesity among children has medical as well as psychosocial impact leading to huge economic impact on the individual family, health sector as well as the country. Successful prevention/reduction and management of childhood obesity requires a multilevel approach involving the family, school, peer group, government and the society as a whole. Introduction Obesity has reached epidemic proportions globally and its prevalence has doubled in the last two decades (1). Over the last 5 years, most developing countries have reported prevalence rates of obesity (inclusive of overweight) > 15% in children and adolescents aged 5–19 year (2–4). Childhood obesity is increasing at an alarming pace in India, giving rise to adult diseases in youth, like high blood pressure...

...And as ideas are fast-changing in this dynamic world, based on observations, so does logical argument change accordingly. The earliest of philosophical dialogues consisted of Socrates’ interaction with his interlocutors, where he cross-examined them till they ended up in perplexity of their own thoughts or aporia. In the Meno, Plato ensures that following the concept of dialectic leads a person to recognizing the errors in their own thoughts and can also lead to new discoveries that are positive. In Phaeddrus dialectic is systemized to follow “division and generalization” so as to work for analysis of concepts in order find relations between...

Quality teaches operations the understanding of why a product can contain limited defects on some products and not others. Blueprints and customer specifications are considered the hard tolerances; however, the aesthetics and subjective material are the responsibility of the quality team to communicate with the customer to determine a clearer understanding and standards (Blanchard & Thacker, 2010).

...secretions and discharges, shape the body, and provide support for parts of it. In cold weather, long underwear is sometimes worn to provide additional warmth. Some undergarments are intended for erotic effect. Special types of undergarments have religious significance. Some items of clothing are designed as undergarments, while others, such as T-shirts and certain types of shorts, are appropriate both as undergarments and as outer clothing. If made of suitable material, some undergarments can serve as nightwear or swimsuits. From ancient paintings, sculptures and mosaics we know, for example, that in 2000 BC in Minoan Crete both men and women had extremely small waists, presumably from wearing constricting belts or girdles from childhood. Even the corset may be a more ancient invention that we imagine. Although the bra as we know it was not invented until the 20th century, women in ancient Greece strapped or bound their breasts with lengths of cloth or leather and young female dancers and athletes are shown wearing what can best be described as a bikini.Of all the various forms of female underwear, the corset in its various guises has probably played the largest role in keeping women immobilised over the centuries. Corsets restrict movement and make breathing shallow and difficult (reducing lung capacity by almost 60 per cent) thus giving women the reputation of being ‘delicate flowers’ who could not exert themselves without fainting. Corsets were also used as a metaphor for virtue...

...INTRODUCTION: What is pregnancy? And what are the different symptoms did pregnant experience? Pregnancy is a happy moment for every woman as it shows that you are expecting a child to bear. One of the toughest parts of trying to get pregnant has to be playing the waiting game each month to see whether or not you get your period and, of course, whether or not you wind up with a positive home pregnancy test. But even though you can't confirm things until you get two pink lines or a plus sign on a test stick, there are some really early pregnancy symptoms that might be an indication that you have a baby on board even if it's way too early to officially detect things yet. Some people have basic questions about how pregnancy happens. Some may have questions about avoiding a pregnancy. Others are considering pregnancy and have questions about pre-pregnancy health, or infertility. And some may wonder about options for an unintended pregnancy. Many women need information about pregnancy tests. Pregnant women may also have questions about prenatal care and the stages of pregnancy. And women who are concerned about pregnancy loss may have lots of questions about miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy. Only you can decide what is best for you when it comes to pregnancy. But we are here to help. A staff member at your local Planned Parenthood health center can talk with you about all of your pregnancy-related concerns. And we can help you get care that you need. Pregnancy is the fertilization...

...ADESOLA JOSEPH, BTEC LEVEL 3 HEALTH AND SOCIAL CARE. DEVELOPMENT THROUGH THE LIFE STAGES. P5) Explain the physical and psychological changes which may be associated with ageing. The ageing process does not begin at a particular age as people age throughout their lives. We start to age from when we are young, but the real aging process does not start until our cells stop to divide and physiological decline sets in. Different older adults age in different ways. Some older adults develop serious problems due to aging in their 60s, while others can be as old as 90 years old and not have any serious problems. There are different theories proposed as to why we age and why we have a limited lifespan. It seems that our body cells have a limited ability to renew themselves. If cells cannot renew themselves then we cannot repair ourselves and stay healthy. A doctor Hayflick proposed that most body cells can only renew themselves fifty times or so, and when cells can no longer renew themselves, body processes breakdown, body tissue becomes wasted and eventually we die. This limit to cell life is called the Hayflick limit. A theory that links with the Hayflick limit is one which suggests that cell DNA contains a region at each end called a telomere. Each time a cell renews itself, the DNA inside is copied and part of the telomere is lost. By old age, all the telomere can be used up and DNA can no longer be replicated. This results in cell death. Hormone production decreases with age...

...Task 2: Describe conditions that affect the behaviour of children AO2 Childhood Stress and Anxiety What is stress and anxiety? Both adults and children can suffer from stress and anxiety. It is important to remember that just because someone may be small or young it doesn’t mean that they don’t have the same feeling as adults do. Children can experience all sorts of strong feelings about what is happening to them. Therefore it is natural for some children to suffer from anxiety and stress. Young children will be experiencing a lot of new things in their lives such as leaving their parents for the first time, starting nursery and school, having to make new friends, being in new environments, learning to trust people who aren’t their parents, learning new skills such as speaking, walking and toilet training. These can all become stressful times for children. In some circumstances it can be made even worse by having parents who are arguing or going through a divorce. This can cause a lot of stress on the child and the parents may not even know the true affect that the circumstances are having on the child. Also a death of a family member or friend can cause a lot of stress on a child. When someone is stressed then this can also lead to having anxiety problems as well. This means that when someone is stressed they may have feelings of anxiety. Anxiety is defined as ‘apprehension without apparent cause’ this means that anxiety can occur even when there is no immediate threat...

...Introduction The shot of the reverberating gun shot as I had taken my first few strides out on the course had given me the chills. My heart had pounded as fast as it had never pounded before, and that was when I instantly knew that I was a runner. I wasn't quite gifted in running as I had thought the others were, at that age, but as I grew more passionate for the sport I began to surpass others throughout the years. I had gone from basically being the slowest person on my team in the fourth grade to the second fastest on my team in eighth grade. This had pushed me to desire to strive for greatness step by step; by my freshman year I had entered into high school on a varsity level which had caught me by surprise. From now and then, I have developed into a student that has become known around school for running. I have reached my barrier of improving my running, and need some way to advance my running strategy and improve my time. My interest in the advancement of strategies in running, were triggered when I had first heard that math can be applicable during a race this year. To explain further, I had decided to do my investigation on running because I have been running since I was six years old, and have participated in both cross country and track for years. I am passionate about running and would even consider taking the challenge to a new level of even participating in cross country in college. Running has been a part of my life forever and I’m always up to the challenge of...

...maslow's hierarchy of needs Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs motivational model Abraham Maslow developed the Hierarchy of Needs model in 1940-50s USA, and the Hierarchy of Needs theory remains valid today for understanding human motivation, management training, and personal development. Indeed, Maslow's ideas surrounding the Hierarchy of Needs concerning the responsibility of employers to provide a workplace environment that encourages and enables employees to fulfil their own unique potential (self-actualization) are today more relevant than ever. Abraham Maslow's book Motivation and Personality, published in 1954 (second edition 1970) introduced the Hierarchy of Needs, and Maslow extended his ideas in other work, notably his later book Toward A Psychology Of Being, a significant and relevant commentary, which has been revised in recent times by Richard Lowry, who is in his own right a leading academic in the field of motivational psychology. Abraham Maslow was born in New York in 1908 and died in 1970, although various publications appear in Maslow's name in later years. Maslow's PhD in psychology in 1934 at the University of Wisconsin formed the basis of his motivational research, initially studying rhesus monkeys. Maslow later moved to New York's Brooklyn College. The Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs five-stage model below (structure and terminology - not the precise pyramid diagram itself) is clearly and directly attributable to Maslow; later versions of the theory with...
