A large‚ tender mass is palpated in the left iliac fossa and a barium study reveals a large number of diverticula in her descending and sigmoid colon. What are diverticula‚ and what is believed to promote their formation? Does this woman have diverticulitis or diverticulosis? Explain. 3) A client is 67 years old and has had a hiatal hernia for three years. In the last year‚ she has

1. INTRODUCTION There are many global connections between the three diaphragms. As stated by Andrew Taylor Still‚ “all parts of the body have direct and indirect connection with the diaphragm” (Frymann‚ 1968). These interrelationships amplify the importance of the synchronistic functions between the three diaphragms to facilitate a balance of the vascular‚ neurological‚ and physiological systems as a whole. Lesions and/or restrictions in the function of one of the three diaphragms will‚ directly

1. Describe the pathway of light through the eye and the process of light refraction. 4 points Light enters through the cornea‚ which is the first step in refraction. The iris then modulates the amount of the light that enters the eye. The light then passes through the pupil‚ which regulates light entry into the inner eye and brings objects into focus. Light then then passes through the lens which focuses the light on the retina (made of rods and cones). The retina turns light into nerve impulses

assess and screen for masses. Listen to sounds to determine if it is tympany or dullness. Palpation would be done light then deep to assess for any masses‚ and tenderness. I would expect to find LLQ tenderness‚ since most diverticula occur in the sigmoid colon. CT of the abdomen is the best test to run to determine if she has free air‚ ruptured diverticulum‚ or fecal matter outside the bowel. These finding would warrant a consult to the general surgeon and the patient would be prepared for the operating

Tinnitus referred as ears ringing‚ in humans‚ can be caused by a variety of factors; such as high-level sound exposure‚ ototoxic drugs‚ and hearing loss. It is basically the self perception of sound in the absence of acoustic stimulation. the sound waves hit the outer ear and converge into the ear drum. The vibrations at ear drum are transferred into the inner rear through the middle ear. Once the sound waves reach inner ear‚ they travel through the cochlea towards the organ of corti. Further the

Visualization of microorganisms in the living state is very difficult‚ not just because they are minute‚ but because they are transparent and almost colorless when suspended in an aqueous medium. To study their properties and divide microorganisms into specific groups for diagnostic purposes
