Health Assessment Exam #4 Chapter 21: Abdomen (approx. 21 questions) 1. Aortic pulsation a. Normally‚ you may see the pulsations from the aorta beneath the skin in the epigastric area‚ particularly in thin persons with good muscle wall relaxation. b. Marked pulsation of aorta occurs with widened pulse pressure (e.g.‚ hypertension‚ aortic insufficiency‚ thyrotoxicosis) and with aortic aneurysm. c. lateral pulsation with aortic aneurysm pushes the examiner’s two fingers apart. 2.

horse. It is composed of six bones (tarsal bones) that comprise four different joints. The uppermost or most proximal joint (tarsocrural) has the widest range of motion. The other three joints are less mobile (low motion joints) but do experience torsional forces that affect the overall health of the hock. Bone spavin usually affects the two most distal lower joints of the hock [distal intertarsal (DIT) and tarsometatarsal (TMT) joints]. What is bone spavin? Bone spavin is a common‚ often painful

Cortical Bone Trajectory Screws for Middle Upper Thoracic: a Anatomico-Radiological Study Introduction Pedicle screw fixation system has been widely used in spinal surgery due to its biomechanical advantage in three-dimensional fixation and short-segment fixation. However‚ Complications such as screw loosening‚ pullout and broken‚ often lead to loss of surgical construct stability‚ particularly in patients with poor bone quality [1-4]. The cortical bone trajectory (CBT)[5] technique is a theoretical

(also known as tibial tubercle apophyseal traction injury) is an irritation of the patellar ligament at the tibial tuberosity. Sinding–Larsen–Johansson syndrome is an analogous condition involving the patellar tendon and the lower margin of the patella bone‚ instead of the upper margin of the tibia. The condition occurs in active boys and girls aged 9–16 coinciding with periods of growth spurts. It occurs more frequently in boys than in girls‚ with reports of a male-to-female ratio ranging from 3:1 to

The tensile strength of the BPTB graft has been shown to be four times that of a normal ACL (6). The ends of the patellar tendon still have bone attached so integration into the tibial and femoral tunnels is much faster in the BPTB graft (1). The issue with BPTB grafts are the complications. The BPTB graft has an increased incidence of patellar fractures‚ anterior knee pain‚ patellar tendon rupture‚ patellar tendonitis‚ weakened quadriceps-leading to significant loss of knee extension and osteoarthritis

The functions of the cranial bones are to protect the brain‚ stabilize the position of the brain‚ blood vessels

The objective of the lab was to learn about fracture mechanics. Fracture mechanics is the branch of structural mechanics that deals with mechanical behaviors of bodies containing flaws. Some important attributes of flaws are size‚ shape‚ and location/orientation relative to the stress field. Procedure: The primary tools for the lab consisted of 10 ceramic tiles and a Instron machine. The Instron machine was initially set up for 3-point bending by a technician. The base and thickness of the tile

to be concerned about safety? Safety strategies to protect your bones are important for individuals of all ages. It is imperative for everyone to protect their bones and overall health by wearing seatbelts in any moving vehicle and by using appropriate protective equipment when participating in sports. If you have been diagnosed with osteoporosis‚ you may be more likely to break a bone as a result of a fall. In fact‚ most broken bones happen as a result of a fall. Falls happen for many reasons‚ most
