Hydromyelia
Hydromyelia, also called syringomyelia, is fluid-filled cavity (cyst) that forms in the center of the spinal cord. This type of cyst is called a syrinx. The cyst is filled with a clear fluid that cushions and nourishes the spinal cord and brain (cerebrospinal fluid, CSF). The spinal cord is a network of nerve cells and nerve connections that carry messages back and forth from your body to your brain. As a cyst grows, it may block these messages and cause weakness and numbness.
CAUSES
Hydromyelia is caused by a buildup of cerebrospinal fluid in the canal that runs down the center of the spinal cord.
Some children are born with a connection between the central canal and a space in the brain (fourth ventricle) that is also filled
Atrioventricular Canal Defect is an abnormality that causes the mixing of blood. There is a hole in center of heart where the wall between the upper and lower chambers meet. The tricuspid and mitral valves aren’t formed properly and one large valve crosses the defect. The defect lets oxygen rich blood pass to the heart’s right side and mix with deoxygenated blood, then go back to the lungs. Another abnormality is Atrial Septal Defect (ASD), where the walls of the upper chambers of the heart don’t close completely, causing a left to right movement of blood due to the higher pressure. The mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood may cause the right atrium and ventricle to enlarge due to the higher volume of blood.
Biology 102 introduces students to the concept of evolution, the principles of evolution, natural selection, and major kingdoms of living things organisms. My major is nursing and taking this course is a prerequisite and is required for my major. Taking Biology courses will help me be better knowledgeable in my chosen field. I took biology 101 last semester and we learned about cell and organisms. These are fundamentals things that someone who plans to have a career in the healthcare field needs to know. Also these courses are prerequisites for other science courses I have to take such as microbiology, human anatomy and physiology. As a future nurse these are information that will come in handy everyday. I have three years left in my undergraduate study and more
Cyntoia Brown is a 16 years old girl sentenced to life in prison for killing a man named Johnny Allen. Brown reasoning for killing the man was because she felt that he was going to kill her because of the way he was acting and the guns that he owned was visible on the bed. In addition, she knew that if he was to kill her, she did not have a gun and there was no way that her family would ever know what happened to her. Some background about this girl Cyntoia Brown was that when she was born, not even two years later her mother Georgina Mitchell gave her up for adoption due to her drug and alcohol problems. Brown has experienced some hardship growing up and has done all sorts of things to feel wanted and accepted. She was found guilty, tried
Looking through a light microscope at a cell undergoing division, you see that the condensed
A ventricular septal defect or VSD is a heart defect. It’s congenital, this means that a baby is born with it. It is an opening or hole in the dividing wall called the Septum, between the two lower chambers of the heart, right and left ventricles. Ventricular septal defects are the most common type of congenital heart defects. A VSD allows oxygen-rich blood to pass from the left ventricle through the opening in the septum. Then it mixes with oxygen-poor blood in the right ventricle. There are different types of ventricular septal defects, the type your child has depends on which part of the wall between the ventricles is involved. Also the size of the opening or hole varies. A ventricular septal defect may occur more often in some families, this is because of gene defects. But most of the time, the cause is unknown. Similarly to ventricular septal defect, an Atrial septal defect is a birth defect of the heart in which there is also a hole in the wall in the septum, but instead of dividing the lower chambers it divides the upper chambers of the heart (atria), here a hole can vary in size and may close on its own or may require surgery as well. An atrial septal defect is one type of congenital heart defect, in which also the baby is born with it.
In the article, “Is Drinking Alcohol While Pregnant an Unnecessary Risk to Prenatal Development,” Phyllida Brown believes that drinking is bad for pregnant women and can put the baby at risk for Fetus Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) (76). She supports her claim by providing follow-ups on children whose mother consumed alcohol during pregnancy. The children whose mother consumed alcohol, tend to be more aggressive and had a hard time focusing compared to children whose mother didn’t consume alcohol. Some physical traits that children with FAS have are thin lips and tend to be smaller than the average kid (Brown 76). Brown also supports her argument by using a counterargument about how some women claims that it is okay to drink wine or alcohol every once
Type I: develops as the skull and brain are growing. Tissue extends into the spinal canal, pushing the skull downwards
MUTUALLY IDENTIFIED CONCERNS: M.H was recently diagnosis with hydrocele and presented with scrotal swelling and moderate pain. The major concern identified was pain that was occurring and that will occur post-surgical. The patient is currently receiving Ketorolac and will need to monitor for adverse side effects that can occur with this medication. This is especially concerning due to the fact that the patient has a history of peptic ulcer disease and this medication can cause gastrointestinal bleeding and perforation. In addition, monitoring for toxicity in the kidneys and liver is important as the patient is receiving Ketorolac and Ceftriaxone. Another concern that M.H has is with school and work. He needs to know approximately how long he will be out of school and work so he can inform his professors and supervisor.
In the bitter cold air of the North Pole, at the very center, stands Chionothyella’s (she-unce-E-Allah) tall and beautiful castle filled with anything imaginable. Chionothyella is the goddess of all falling snow and blizzards. She travels from place to place making it snow beautiful, very different and dainty snowflakes. She creates blizzards in an attempt to be intimidating towards the other, more powerful gods for she is very envious of their power. She doesn’t enjoy the company of others; she likes to be by herself where she isn't bothered so she can focus more on working on her powers and snowflakes. She is first cousins with Poseidon and alliances with Boreas, god of winter and wind. She also has a vicious pet Cerberus that is only obedient to her. The dog is named Xena. She is a sinewy and mighty guard for her palace. Mostly to keep other gods away because Chionothyella wants to make the entire universe covered in her snow and eternal blizzards that she puts
Although Waltovia seems like they have everything under control, their policies are flawed and their citizens are not ensured fairness. The United States economy is not as terrible as you might think, and the restrictions Waltovia places on its citizens and on it economy hinders and hurts everyone involved.

Dorsally there is an expanded area called the sinus venosus. The human heart has two atria and two ventricles. No sinus venosus
Hydrocephalus most often occurs in children, but may also occur in adults and the elderly.
Atrial Septal Defect is a common and interesting disorder. Atrial Septal Defect is mostly know as “a hole in the heart.” This disorder is birth defect. It can happen to male, female, adult, and kids. This disorder mostly happens to kids and infant. Atrial Septal Defect is when there is a hole in your heart that doesn’t allow oxygen to flow through. This can causes difficulty breathing, heart murmur, and e.t.c... There three different types of level. These level are called ostium secundum, ostium primum, and sinus venosus. The most severe level is ostium secundum which is the true atrial septal. Then is ostium primum, and last sinus venosus. This genetic disorder is typically diagnosed by noticing .symptoms.
Tight junctions seal together the enclothelial cells of brain capillaries, which also are surrounded by a thick basement membrain. The process of many astrocyties pressing up against the capillaries is known as the Astrocyties Process. This process selectively passes some substances from the blood to the neurons, at the same time, inhibiting the passage of others.
