o A key landmark when performing an axillary block is the identification of the axillary arterial pulse as well as the Coracobrachialis and pectoralis major muscle. o In supine position with the patient’s head turned away from the intended injection site‚ the desired arm is abducted 90° angle at the elbow joint. While standing at the upper arm‚ feel for the axillary artery (lateral to the pectoralis muscle) and draw a line along it from the mid-axilla to the lower axilla. This is helpful orientation

Genetically Modified Crops Genetically modified food and agricultural biotechnology have generated a lot of interest and controversy in the United States worldwide. Some like the technology ’s benefits while others raise questions about environmental and food safety issues. Crop varieties developed by genetic engineering were first introduced for commercial production in 1996. Today‚ these crops are planted on more than 167 million acres worldwide. U.S. farmers are by far the largest producers

Genetically Modified Foods Did you know that 62 countries have strict laws against genetically modified foods? 30 of those 62 have eliminated or almost completely banned genetically modified foods from their market (Partovi). All of Europe has almost completely done away with these altered forms of comestibles and requires labeling for anything with even a trace of modified content. GMOs (genetically modified organisms) are in nearly 80 percent of the United States processed foods (Lowery). These

Genetically Modified Foods The fact of the matter remains‚ there is potential for an amazing breakthrough in modifying the genetic components of our foods. If such a breakthrough were to come about‚ it could lead to a promising future of provisions for people who may not currently receive the benefits of a direct agricultural provider. There are current efforts to achieve insect‚ herbicide‚ and disease resistant crops of which could grow faster and in less fertile regions. In addition‚ these

Almost every grocery store in the United States carries a wide array of food that has been genetically modified. Most of the genetically engineered foods in markets are not labeled to tell consumers they were altered in any way. Environmental risks are also a concern for genetically engineered food. Different animals‚ including farm animals or insects can

A Genetically Modified Organism is an organism whose inherited matter has been altered using heritable engineering techniques. It is basically a special set of technologies that alter the genetic makeups in organisms that vary‚ such as plants‚ animals‚ or bacteria. Combining genes from different species is known as recombinant DNA technology‚ and the outcome organism is known as genetically modified. Now the question lies‚ is genetically modified organisms needed to suppress hunger? In my opinion
