of the middle ear‚ the area just behind the eardrum. It happens when the eustachian tubes‚ which connect the middle ear to the nose‚ get blocked with fluid. Mucus‚ pus‚ and bacteria can also pool behind the eardrum‚ causing pressure and pain. Ear infections usually start with a cold. Although adults can get ear infections‚ they are most common in infants and young children. That’s because a child’s eustachian tubes are narrower and shorter than an adults’‚ and it’s easier for fluid to get trapped

The ovaries produce the eggs and the female hormones. The fallopian tubes provide the passageway for the eggs from the ovaries to the uterus.

gravity. Particles with different density and masses are settled at different rates in a tube which are response to gravity. Centrifuge is an instrument which can spin carrier vessels at high rotation speed and very high centrifugal force to allow centrifugation. The centrifugal force generated is proportional to the rotation rate of the rotor and the distance between the rotor centre and the centrifuge tube. There are three general classes of centrifuges: low speed‚ about 5000 rpm‚ high speed machine

On this particular day my mentor asked me to administer Mrs. Lewis’ medications and to set up the Peg feed unit ready for later in the day. I had observed my mentor give medications via the Peg tube on other patients and had practiced administering medications and feed in this way numerous times for other patients so I felt reasonably confident
