Anode-The positive terminal of an x-ray tube; a tungsten block embedded in a copper stem and set at an angle to the cathode (q.v). The anode emits x rays from the point of impact of the electron stream from the cathode. A rotating anode is one that rotates constantly during x-ray production to present a changing focal spot to the currents without overheating. Bitewing (Radiograph) - the x-ray shadow images of the crowns‚ necks‚ and coronal third of the roots of both the upper and lower teeth‚ so

artificial nutrition and hydration as a form of life support is one decision that some people have to make. I feel that tube feedings‚ while okay for short term use are fine‚ but they should not be used as a form of long term care because the risks outweigh the benefits of having a feeding tube. A tube feeding is a medical procedure that people can accept or deny. Feeding tubes provide a chemically balanced mix of nutrients and fluid to those who are unable to swallow‚ eat‚ or drink enough nutrition

Nowadays‚ a Pitot tube would be of use as a speedometer on aeroplanes. It is also found useful in industries where velocity measurements are required‚ where an anemometer may not be the most efficient instrument to use. There are three types of pitot tubes: Pitot tubes‚ Static tubes‚ and Pitot-Static tubes. The simple pitot tube essentially consists of a tube bent at - usually - 90°‚ with an open end pointing directly towards the fluid flow. As the fluid flows in the tube‚ it becomes stagnant
