Alzheimer’s disease (AD) dementia. The team’s aim was to keep a check that the revised factors of judgement would be desirable enough to be incorporated by both general healthcare providers without the intervention of neuropsychological testing‚ advanced imaging‚ and cerebrospinal fluid measure‚ and specialized investigators conducting the research or in clinical trial studies who would have access to these tools. On the basis of the past 27 years of experience‚ they put on various changes in the clinical

Current research is evaluating possible physical diagnostic tests (such as a blood test for schizophrenia‚ special IQ tests for identifying schizophrenia‚ eye-tracking‚ brain imaging‚ ’smell tests’‚ etc)‚ but these are still in trial stages at only a few universities and companies and are not yet widely used. It will likely be a few years before these on the market

hemisphere of his brain was damaged because the left part of the brain controls the functioning of right part of the body. 2. What imaging technology would best reveal the location and extent of damage to Tim’s brain produced by his stroke‚ and why? Answer Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) may be helpful in this case because it is a modern‚ non-invasive diagnostic tool that can provide a high level of anatomic details. Through MRI‚ stroke can be located and the extent of damage could be determined

Diagnosis: Physical symptoms of liver trauma include blood loss‚ tenderness of the region‚ peritoneal irritation and its guarding. Haemodynamically stable patients with suspected live injury should be investigated for imaging studies. Focused Assessment with Sonography in Trauma (FAST) is usually useful for both blunt and penetrating trauma. FAST has sensitivity from 75-94 % and specificity from 97-100 % for intra-abdominal fluid in trauma patients. FAST cannot distinguish between laceration and

Computers play a key role in almost every sphere of life. They facilitate storage of huge amounts of data‚ they enable speedy processing of information and they possess an inbuilt intelligence‚ which if supplemented with human intellect‚ can work wonders. Owing to their intelligence and speed‚ computers function on a level close to that of the human brain. Computers can hence be employed in different fields like engineering‚ data processing and storage‚ planning and scheduling‚ networking‚ education

Computed Tomography scan‚ also called CT or CAT scan‚ is a diagnostic imaging procedure that uses X-rays of the body to get axial or horizontal images of the human body. They show detail images of the brain‚ organs‚ bones‚ and muscles. Many describe it as like slicing a piece of bread. CT scan are often used to look for tumors‚ cyst‚ or any infections within the body. It can also detect bleeding‚ blood clots‚ brain injury‚ skull damage or fractures to the body. They focus mainly for any damages to
