Scoliosis “Some people have crooked teeth‚ some people have broken fingers‚ and I’ve got a back that has my initial on it‚” says Shailene Woodley on scoliosis. This actress has suffered from scoliosis since she was fifteen years old and has a thirty-eight degree curvature in her spine. Shailene had to wear a plastic brace for thirteen hours per day until she stopped growing. Scoliosis is the abnormal curvature of the spine‚ and about three in every 100 children have this disease. Although many

typically exhibit a higher percentage of shimmer. Higher jitter and shimmer levels can reflect problems in neuromuscular control. Increased levels of jitter and shimmer can also be caused by a nodule or cyst on the vocal folds which would increase the vocal fold mass and vibration would become less periodic. Measuring the cycle-to-cycle variability of vibration can allow us to detect changes in neuromuscular function or changes in the layers of the vocal folds. (Ferrand‚ 2007) The more steady

Module 06 Case Study: Articulations and Nerve Tissue Part I— “Jill” Questions 1. What is the difference between a tendon and ligament? (1 point) --The difference between a tendon and a ligament is that a tendon attaches to muscle. (ie. muscle-bone‚ muscle-muscle‚ muscle- skin) A ligament‚ however‚ attaches to cartilage. (ie. cartilage-bone‚ cartilage-cartilage‚ bone-bone) 2. What bones form the articulation (joint) of the ankle? Did Jill most likely sprain or strain her ankle? Explain your

or few molecules. A major obstacle is to obtain reliable junctions between the electrical contacts and a single or a few molecules. The surface metallic molecules can either be chemisorbed or physisorbed‚ resulting from van der Waals force. The electrical properties of the molecules can be determined by testbeds‚ scanning tunneling microscopy (STM)‚ conducting probe atomic force microscopy‚ STM break junctions and mechanical break junctions. But for now these still cannot provide an opportunity to
