Botulism The topic I chose to talk about today is botulism. Botulism neurotoxin is one of the most lethal substances known to man. Not many people are aware of what it is and its negative side-effects. What is Botulism? 3) Botulism is a neurotoxin produced by Clostridium botulism. Botulism causes extreme and sometimes fatal food poisoning. Botulism was first identified in Germany in 1735. A person had eaten a German sausage and got food poisoning. This is how botulism got

Scoliosis Gina Amato and Amber Kral Triton College Abstract This research paper is based on the skeletal pathological condition known as scoliosis. Scoliosis is an abnormal lateral bending and twisting of the vertebral column. The following paper presents research on causes along with possible complications that can arise while acquiring this condition. Additional research on tests/exams available to help diagnose scoliosis and how it appears radiographically is also

Responsiveness- is a property of all living cells- Muscle and nerve cells have developed this property to the highest degree. When stimulated by chemical signals‚ stretch‚ and other stimuli‚ muscle cells respond with electrical changes across the plasma membrane. b. Conductivity- Stimulation of a muscle cell produces

travel is one way from stimulus • Then K+ flows out of cell (repolarisation) and the membrane charge returns to normal • Correct ion balance is restored by the ‘sodium-potassium pump’ (active transport mechanism) Events at synapse (or neuromuscular junction [NMJ]) • Impulse causes depolarisation at synaptic knobs • Release of neurotransmitter [NT] from vesicles into synaptic cleft (> 40 known NTs) • Diffusion of NT across synaptic cleft • NT acts on postsynaptic receptors (motor end plates

It appears to be these multimodal dimensions that are so effective in aiding the relearning of memory‚ cognition and motor processes by increasing neurotransmitter activity and reforming neuromuscular junctions (Levin‚ Weiss & Keshner‚ 2014 & Madison‚ Robinson & Chadaram‚ 2007). Constant referral of feedback during the intervention allows the client to reassess their movements without interruption to the activity. This allows the client to utilise
