Along with an MRI scan‚ a CT scan can help diagnose hydrocephalus in both pediatrics and adults. Both of these imaging modalities can diagnose and show the enlarged brain along with the dilated ventricles that results from excessive cerebral spinal fluid within the brain. If there is a case of hydrocephalus with the patient‚ there is a plan and a way to treat it. Fortunate enough‚ a prognosis can be done.

science (which more than half of them still do not know what is it)‚ which means that the medical technologist usually work in clinics and hospitals laboratory. We are the one who check all patients’ body fluids such as blood‚ urine‚ stool‚ CSF (cerebrospinal fluid)‚ seminal fluid‚ synovial fluid‚ etc. Most of the person who ask me will then remember one or several times in their life where they went for check up to laboratory‚ so at this point they usually already get what medical technologist do

------------------------------------------------- Parasitic Drag/Skin Friction ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- Parasitic drag is drag caused by moving a solid object through a fluid medium (in the case of aerodynamics‚ more specifically‚ a gaseous medium). Parasitic drag is made up of many components‚ the most prominent being form drag.Skin friction and interference drag are also major components of parasitic drag. -------------------------------------------------

LINE 1. Introduction A Venturi meter is a device for determining the flow-rate of a fluid down a pipe. One measures the pressure difference between the venturi inlet and neck‚ and from this the flow-rate can be determined. The apparatus used on this experiment also has a number of straight tube manometers at equally spaced intervals. These will be used to determine the hydraulic grade line of the fluid as it passes through the manometer. 2. Apparatus and theory of the venturi A diagram

subarachnoid spaces in the spinal cord in terms of location. Identify substances found in these spaces.3. Describe cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in terms of composition‚ location‚ function‚ production‚ and pathway of flow.4. List three ways that CSF contributes to maintaining homeostasis.5. Define blood-brain barrier and ways microorganisms may gain access to the normally sterile spinal fluid and meninges. It is important to note that bacteria or viruses must cross the blood brain barrier to cause meningitis.

two words: "hydro" meaning water‚ and "cephalus" referring to the head. Hydrocephalus is a condition in which excess cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) builds up within the ventricles (fluid-containing cavities) of the brain and may increase pressure within the head. Although hydrocephalus is often described as "water on the brain‚" the "water" is actually CSF‚ a clear fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. CSF has three crucial functions: 1) it acts as a "shock absorber" for the brain and spinal cord;

Centrifugal Tutorial Centrifugal Pump A centrifugal pump is one of the simplest pieces of equipment. Its purpose is to convert energy of an electric motor or engine into velocity or kinetic energy and then into pressure of a fluid that is being pumped. The energy changes occur into two main parts of the pump‚ the impeller and the volute. The impeller is the rotating part that converts driver energy into the kinetic energy. The volute is the stationary part that converts the kinetic energy into

INTRODUCTION A hydrodynamic journal bearing operates effectively when it has a full fluid film without any contact between the asperities of the journal and bearing surfaces. However‚ under certain operating conditions‚ this bearing has limitations‚ and unique designs are used to extend its application beyond these limits. The first limitation of hydrodynamic bearings is that a certain minimum speed is required to generate a full fluid film of sufficient thickness for complete separation of the sliding surfaces
