My Trip to the Hospital On my trip to the Juan Francesco Luis Hospital‚ I just wanted to meet the people who would show us the different areas that we went to‚ and who they were. So‚ they finally came and there were 2 ladies Ms .Melonie Montoute (Nurse Recruiter) and Ms. Pamela Toussaint (Director of Recruiting). There were 34 of us on this field trip and out of the 2 ladies we had to choose who to go with and so forth. As they introduced themselves‚ they also told us about the history of the hospital

work. Researchers now believe that dyslexia occurs because of the way that the brain is formed and the way that it processes the information it receives. People with dyslexia are actually wired differently. Pictures of the brain‚ taken with modern imaging tools‚ have shown that when people with dyslexia read they use different parts of the brain than people without dyslexia. The term dyslexia‚ however‚ is defined in different ways. While reading is the basic problem‚ people include different aspects

Did you know there are 120 types of brain and central nervous system tumors that exist (“Understanding Brain Tumors”)? What is a brain tumor? A brain tumor is a collection‚ or mass‚ of abnormal cells in your brain (Lights‚ Verneda). In order to know more about brain tumors‚ people should understand the diagnosis‚ anatomy of the brain‚ grades‚ types‚ and treatment of brain tumors. The first step in finding a tumor is diagnosis. There are a variety of ways to be diagnosed for having a tumor. The first

Capital project Capital project section two Executive summary There is an overuse of the hospital MRI machine at the facility. The MRI machine needs to be utilized for multiple specialties including emergencies‚ inpatients‚ gamma knife‚ orthopedics‚ sports medicine. The ultimate recommendation is to add an extremity MRI scanner to the facility to relieve some of the usage of the main MRI machine. Providing this relief benefits in many aspects. The addition will provide an opportunity to expand the

Gadolinium is a paramagnetic metal icon. These paramagnetic icons move differently within a magnetic field in which these make the gadolinium useful for something more familiar in today’s medicine such as MRI. Gadolinium helped doctors and medical professionals to be able to see a patient’s internal organs‚ inflammation‚ tumors‚ blood vessels‚ and tissue. The quality of MRI’s are enhanced by altering the magnetic properties of water molecules when gadolinium is used. Gadolinium used by itself is

One of these is SD-OCT(Fig2)‚ a non contact‚ non-invasive method that enables physicians to obtain in vivo‚ high resolution (upto 5 microns) cross-sectional images of the retina. It is based on principle of low-coherence interferometry(Fig 3). By imaging a 3D cube of data it allows a detailed evaluation of the peripapillary area. Fig 2 : Cirrus HD OCT machine In low-coherence interferometry‚ light is sent along two optical paths‚ one being the sample path (into the eye) and the other the reference

There are several methods that both measure and scan the cortical functions of the brain and they both have their individual strengths and weaknesses. In a Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scan the scanner injects the patient with glucose containing radiotracers which are radioactive and emit positrons which are then picked up by the scanner. As glucose is used for energy in the body it will travel to the brain and distributes itself to the parts of the brain need it most at that time. When it

The first method (motion cutter) depends on the camera being modified to record timed clips that enable technicians to make minor adjustments to the figures and objects between shots
