Tight junction

using the same technique as for the conventional radiographs(X-ray), by using multiplanar reconstruction technique through the midsection of each vertebral body for the MRI and the digital reconstructed radiograph for the CT scan. The same levels were used for each patient on the three different imaging methods. (Brink et al. Scoliosis and Spinal Disorders 2017) 2.6 ASSESSMENT: It includes physical therapy examination which has several components to know the exact information or for evaluation

would not kill them, it would make more of them grow. If more of them grow, the LPS that causes inflammation is not circulating, because they would only circulate if the bacteria dies. Incorrect: Choice C is correct because acidosis degrades tight junctions between enterocytes in the colon and the cecum, which in turn lets more endotoxins from the bacteria into the blood that causes the inflammation in laminitis. Choice D is correct because the acidosis kills coliform bacteria, releasing LPS into

Introduction: Asthma comes from the Greek meaning of short of breath which the world has come to known as asthma which is shortness of breath. Henry Hyde Salter was the first person to describe asthma in which he stated: “airways narrow due to contraction of their smooth muscle.” William Osler known as the father of medicine described asthma as a “spasm of the bronchial muscles, swelling of the bronchial mucous membrane, the special form of inflammation of the smaller bronchioles, similar to hay

TECHNIQUE TIP: MODIFIED EXTENDED TROCHANTERIC OSTEOTOMY Abstract: Trochanteric osteotomy, the most extensile of approaches is a valuable tool for difficult primary and revision THAs. Extended trochanteric osteotomy is helpful in revision and extraction of well fixed cemented as well as uncemented fremoral components, facilitates in cement extraction and also in enhancing acetabular exposure. Tradional posterolateral ETO is initiated at the posterior aspect of the Femur. We describe

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a clinical condition in which there is a progressive decrease in central vision. There are two forms of macular degeneration, dry/nonexudative and wet/exudative, and these differ in fundal findings and treatment options. Dry macular degeneration is due to accumulation of drusen between the retinal pigment epithelium and Bruch’s membrane and eventually progresses to geographic atrophy. Geographic atrophy refers to loss of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE)

Answer Key: C Feedback: Good job! Question 23 of 60 1.67/ 1.667 Points The muscular wall of the left

What is brain-gut axis : The brain-gut axis refers to bi-directional communication between gastrointestinal tract and the nervous system, often involving intestinal microbiota. It involves nerves, hormones and other molecules such as cytokines and other products of immune system. Function: The function of brain-gut axis is to monitor and integrate gastrointestinal functions and to mediate impact of stress and emotions on gut. Many emotions are reflected in terms of changes in gut physiology. It

Introduction Each year, many Americans across our country die from tobacco use. Statistics show about 480,000 people in the United States die from tobacco related illnesses. Meaning, one out of five deaths are from smoking. Today, Americans are killed more from cigarette smoking than from alcohol, car accidents, HIV, guns, and even illegal drugs combined. Smoking tobacco does not only cause a person to develop cancer, it can also damage almost all the organ systems in the body. These include the

1. Describe five different mechanisms or means that one could pursue to prevent or reduce micronutrient deficiencies and provide an example for each that has been applied to improve the dietary quality of food for an at-risk population. (10 points) Answer: A) Five different mechanisms or means that one could pursue to prevent or reduce micronutrient deficiencies are: • Supplementation: Vitamin A supplementation every 6 month in the form of capsule (had shown to decrease mortality and blindness)
