It is made up of ganglionic cells or nerve cells and consists of more than 1 million nerve fibres . Our blind spot is caused by the absence of specialised photosensitive/light-sensitive cells or photoreceptors; the part of the retina where the optic

The author had a lot of good points to support her thesis in which she stated that beauty is something integral of the world we live in; the earth that the Creator created.

In this day and age‚ we live our lives in fast forward and we‚ almost literally‚ do not even attempt to stop or even slow down to smell the roses. She

a false truth to the word nerve. The courage it takes to have nerve is powerful‚ but having nerves is a weakness. A soldier in a battle needs confidence‚ and not worry or otherwise every action will be filled with doubt. The commander says‚ “No nerves‚ just have nerve out there.” The difference between the same word emphasizes the actual meaning of each word‚ creating it to be more heroic than a hero and braver than just the brave. One of the many definitions for nerve is “a person’s steadiness

A Review of Facial Nerve Anatomy Terence M. Myckatyn‚ M.D.1 and Susan E. Mackinnon‚ M.D.1 ABSTRACT An intimate knowledge of facial nerve anatomy is critical to avoid its inadvertent injury during rhytidectomy‚ parotidectomy‚ maxillofacial fracture reduction‚ and almost any surgery of the head and neck. Injury to the frontal and marginal mandibular branches of the facial nerve in particular can lead to obvious clinical deficits‚ and areas where these nerves are particularly susceptible to injury

Handout Lab 5 - Cranial Nerves: Assessment of Functions INTRODUCTION The central nervous system (CNS) consists of the brain and the spinal cord. The CNS receives sensory information from other parts of the body or the body’s external environment and transmits motor information to other parts of the body by way of the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The PNS of the human includes 31 pairs of spinal nerves and 12 pairs of cranial nerves. Some nerves contain only motor nerve fibers (efferent fibers);

Abstract Purpose: Transcutaneous Posterior Tibial Nerve Stimulation (TPTNS) using adhesive skin electrodes is not commonly used due to its low efficacy. Our objective was to verify whether the combination of TPTNS with low dose Trospium chloride in the treatment of females with overactive bladder (OAB) would be more effective than TPTNS alone after failure of behavioral therapy. Materials and Methods: We randomized 30 women with OAB‚ into two groups‚ 15 patients each: Group I received 30 minutes
