Otitis is a general term for inflammation or infection of the ear‚ in both humans and other animals. It is subdivided into the following: Otitis externa‚ external otitis‚ or "swimmer’s ear" involves the outer ear and ear canal. In external otitis‚ the ear hurts when touched or pulled. Otitis media or middle ear infection involves the middle ear. In otitis media‚ the ear is infected or clogged with fluid behind the ear drum‚ in the normally air-filled middle-ear space. This very common childhood

Prognosis The thing that make mesothelioma such a devastating disease is the fact that there is currently no cure. Despite significant strides in research and treatment methods‚ the prognosis is generally poor in comparison to other types of cancers. While the length of survival has steady increased in the recent years‚ the average survival time is quite short. However‚ a prognosis is dependent on multiple factors and that does lead to many prognoses differing from the average. The type of mesothelioma

Enrichment Questions Instructions: This is an honors level course. Answer all questions fully using complete sentences. If you want full credit‚ please provide plenty of details. 1. How is the concept of homeostasis related to aging and disease? Provide examples to support your thinking. • The body is constantly changing‚ no matter what age. It has to maintain homeostasis or balance at all times or if illness/death occurs. If your body is weakened‚ it then becomes harder

Section 5.1 Know the basic units of pressure. The basic units of pressure are atmospheres‚ psi‚ mm of Hg‚ torrs‚ and Pascals (Newtons per square meter) Know the difference between gage and atmospheric pressure. Atmospheric pressure is the pressure exerted by the earth’s atmosphere at any given point‚ being the product of the mass of the atmospheric column of the unit area above the given point and of the gravitational acceleration at the given point. Gage pressure is measured on a pressure

The Differences and Similarities of Pneumonia and Tuberculosis Pneumonia and tuberculosis have been plaguing the citizens of the world for centuries causing millions of deaths. This occurred until the creation and use of antibiotics become more widely available. These two respiratory infections have many differences‚ which include their etiology‚ incidence and prevalence‚ and many similarities in their objective and subject indicators‚ medical interventions‚ course‚ rehabilitation and effects

PNEUMOTHORAX Description Pneumothorax is presence of air in the pleural cavity. It prevents your lung from expanding properly when you try to breathe in‚ causing shortness of breath and chest pain. It is also called as Collapse lung. A primary pneumothorax occurs without an apparent cause and in the absence of significant lung disease‚ while a secondary pneumothorax occurs in the presence of existing lung pathology. Tension pneumothorax develops occasionally and is a medical emergency. Unless reversed

Work with your partner to answer four of the questions. Upon completion‚ compare your answers to other teams that answered the same question. Is the answer the same or different? Discuss which answer is correct. You may change your answers before submitting. How might you describe the breathing process to a patient? I will explain to the patient the process of breathing. When a person breathe in‚ or inhale‚ the diaphragm tightens and move downward. This process help to increase the space in

patients on long term corticosteroid therapy. Tuberculosis Pleurisy This usually develops soon after initial infection. A granuloma located at the edge of the lung ruptures into the pleural space‚ the space between the lungs and the chest wall. Usually‚ a couple of tablespoons of fluid can be found in the pleural space. Once the bacteria invade the space‚ the amount of fluid increases dramatically and compresses the lung‚ causing shortness of breath (dyspnea) and sharp chest pain that worsens with

Chapter 10: Physical Characteristics of Gases Section 10-1 The Kinetic-Molecular Theory of Matter Prerequisites The kinetic-molecular theory is based on the idea that particles of matter are always in motion. The theory can be used to explain the properties of solids‚ liquids‚ and gases in terms of the energy of particles and the forces that act between them. ideal gas: an imaginary gas that perfectly fits all the assumption of the kinetic-molecular theory.

Discussion The overall purpose of the experiment is to observe the change of pressure as three different gases; N2‚ He‚ and an unknown gas effuses through a pinhole into a vacuum environment. Each gas has a different pattern of changing the pressure depending on its molecular mass‚ which is related to the kinetic theory of gases‚ where heavier gases (N2) effuse slower than lighter gases (He). The experiment setup was prepared‚ measurement of change of pressure as a function of time were recorded
