“Nothing is impossible, the word itself says 'I'm possible'!” - Audrey Hepburn (Audrey Hepburn Quote). Audrey Hepburn was a British actress, but she was highly loved and cherished in America, too. Even though Audrey wasn’t an American citizen, today people still mourn her young death at only 63. Audrey was born in Brussels, Belgium during the April of 1929, and died in Tolochenaz, Switzerland in 1993. When Hepburn was the young age of eleven, she was in the German Occupation of Holland and those

Ectopia Cordis is a rare condition in which the heart is located partially or completely outside of the thoracic cavity. Often, it is associated with pentalogy of Carntrell, which is a rare thoraco-abdominal disruption or a defect in the abdominal wall. This condition is categorized into five types: cervical, abdominal, thoracocervical, thoracoabdominal, and thoracic. Ectopia cordis is extremely uncommon as it only occurs in 1:126,000 births. The prognosis for this condition is poor and depends

Marine organisms are animals, plants, and other living things that live in the ocean. A Marine biologist is a scientist who studies marine organisms and studies the bodies, behavior, and the history of marine organisms. They also study how marine organisms interact with each other and their environment. I have chosen to research about Marine biology because I would like to learn about sea life, the ocean, and its surrounding environment. To start off, a Marine biologist might study coral, crabs

Summary of Case Study: Bill is a 34 year old male who has recently been prescribed analgesic and muscle relaxant for his right hip pain. After three weeks of pain he is still experiencing symptoms. However, he is now experiencing stiffness and pain in his left hip as well. The physician has examined his x-rays and believes that he has avascular necrosis. The physician thinks this may be possible due to his have decompression sickness in the past. This can cause tissue damage due to the lack of blood

Jean Russell of Michigan Insurance Company referred this file for medical case management. Instructions were given to meet with Flavia Tocco and assist with coordination of appropriate and related medical care, and identify needs to facilitate recovery. INTERVIEW SETTING I met Ms. Tocco at the St. John’s physical therapy department. Ms. Tocco was open to providing me information on her current and prior medical history. Ms. Tocco moves very slowly, is unable to pick items up from the floor.

Great Nursing Shoes Let’s face it, nurses have a tough job. They are constantly on their feet for long hours and need shoes that will support them every step they take. Our page is designed to equip you with the necessary information to buy the shoes best suited for you. No matter what level your career is in, a good pair of shoes is a requirement. A good pair of nursing shoes can be quite expensive and like any other major purchase you make; you should never buy anything without doing some research

Driving at 100 mph down a single lane road that is made of loose gravel while trying not to slide off a cliff or drive into a tree are some problems that rally drivers have to endure consistently throughout their careers. One hundred twenty three years ago France had organized the first automobile race in history by simply gathering a group of people and picking a route consisting of public roads. That is the general idea of rally racing, speeding through closed down public roads at ludicrous speeds

claimant was recently in a motor vehicle accident and since then, she had persistent neck, left shoulder, and lower back pain. A review of the systems was positive for musculoskeletal pain, headache, and insomnia. She was diagnosed with cervicalgia, low thoracic rib head displacement, sacroiliitis, and sciatica. Continued therapy and a cervical spine epidural steroid injection were recommended. An orthopedic evaluation report from Anthony Esposito, DO (Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation), dated 06/08/2017

1. What is the mechanism of injury for a sternoclavicular sprain? In the majority of sternoclavicular sprains, what is the direction of clavicle displacement? The majority of injuries result from compression related to a direct blow, as when a supine individual is landed on by another participant, or more commonly, by indirect forces transmitted from a blow to the shoulder or a fall on an outstretched arm. The disruption typically drives the proximal clavicle superior, medial, and anterior.

The thoracic oesophagus is situated a little to the left in the superior mediastinum between the trachea and the vertebral column. It passes behind and to the right of the aortic arch to descend in the posterior mediastinum along the right side of the descending thoracic aorta. Below, as it inclines left, it crosses anterior to the aorta and enters the abdomen through the diaphragm at the level of the tenth thoracic vertebra. From above downwards, the trachea, right pulmonary artery, left main bronchus

laparotomy and the diaphragmatic defect was repaired primarily. Conclusion: Spontaneous acquired diaphragmatic hernia due to lax and thinned out diaphragm is very rare condition and very difficult to diagnose unless a very high index of suspicion is kept in mind. Surgical repair is the definitive treatment. Keywords: Spontaneous Diaphragmatic Hernia; Lax Diaphragm Introduction

Introduction: Respiration encompasses cellular respiration and external respiration. In cellular respiration the vast majority of energy that most living organisms need are satisfied by the mitochondria. The main driving force behind the mitochondria producing the high yield of ATP would be due to oxygen gas. For external respiration, encompasses breathing, gas exchange in the alveoli, transportation of gases through the blood, the delivery of gases to the systemic tissues, and the gas exchange at

The fluid lets the lungs slip nicely over the thoracic wall throughout respiration. The surface tension of the pleural fluid (which keeps the surface of the lungs in contact with the chest wall) means the membranes are split up. Alveoli - air sacs at the end of the bronchioles and creates a massive

“P1V1 = P2V2” shows that as the volume increases, the pressure of the gas decreases in proportion, as long as the temperature stays the same. The relationship between pressure and volume was first noticed by mathematician and astronomer Richard Towneley and experimenter Henry Power. Robert Boyle, a chemist and physicist, confirmed the discovery and published the results in 1662. According to science historians, Boyle’s assistant, Robert Hooke, built the experimental rig. The law is based on air

diffusion across the respiratory membrane. Oxygen diffuses into the blood and carbon dioxide diffuses from the blood into the lungs. alveoli Diaphragm When breathing in, the diaphragm contracts causing the thoracic cavity volume to increase, which makes air rush into the lungs. When breathing out, the diaphragm relaxes decreasing the volume of the thoracic cavity pushing the air out. This is an important part of respiration during exercise (O2 touch) as more air is needed in the body and carbon

Role of thoracic ultrasound in diagnosis of pulmonary and pleural diseases in critically ill patients Introduction: Traditionally, lung imaging in critically ill patients is usually performed either by bedside chest radiography (CXR) or thoracic computed tomography (CT), but both techniques have limitations which constrain their usefulness. Although thoracic CT is the gold standard for lung imaging, it is expensive and cannot be performed on a routine basis as the transportation of critically

assistance of the pleural membrane, where pleural membrane impresses the lungs when they are at rest, as a result the air will flow into the lunges in order to rise up the lunges pressure until it matches the atmosphere pressure, at this point the diaphragm will contract and more air can be inhaled, meanwhile the contraction of external intercostal muscle will cause an increment in the thorax volume, so as a feedback the lungs pressure will go lower than the atmosphere pressure

is elastic and yet non-distensible. This layer of the pericardium is held in position cranially by its membranous folds interdigitating with the tunica adventitia of the great vessels; caudally by ligaments connecting to the central tendon of the diaphragm;

in the thoracic area and he is also suffering pain in the abdominal region which is the location of the knife wound. He is also suffering from respiratory issues deep within the thoracic area. Additionally, the patient shows redness and swelling in the pelvic region. The knife wound did cause all of the symptoms. The knife was inserted in the left hypochondriac region pointed upwards, which could have punctured the organs in the thoracic cavity such as the left lung and the diaphragm, causing
