Stroke I. Pathophysiology A. Ischemic Stroke 1. Results from blockage of a cerebral artery‚ leading to decreased blood flow. 2. Cerebral blood arteries dilate and constrict due a process called cerebral autoregulation. 3. This process is affected by stroke 4. One possible ischemic stroke occurs due to blockage of an intracranial vessel due to an embolus from a distant area (i.e. cardiogenic embolus)‚ 5. Another possible ischemic stroke occurs due to in situ thrombosis of an intracranial vessel

Nanotechnology Nanotechnology is actually a fairly new idea. This may not seem like any big deal in terms of ethics‚ but just like any type of scientific advancement there are positives and negatives. Of course the ethical issues don’t stem out of just the fact that this is a new kind of science. It branches off of "what will this new scientific technology be used for?" For example‚ Embryonic Stem Cell research. It’s not the research that’s bad it’s how they get the cells. There are half

The forensic investigation of any death is a vital and important process that involves different exporters to find the truth through scientific evidence. A particular investigation that we will be examining is the death of a pedestrian from a ‘hit and run’ accident. Although car accidents are not a major cause of death‚ they are quite a lot of cases and they are always very tragic. This investigation will investigate a deliberate ‘hit and run’ where the pedestrian experienced tertiary impact‚ causing
