b. Liu and Hassan were surprised to find metopic suture on an adult skull because right after birth the left side and right side of the frontal bone are united by the metopic suture. They were surprised because this suture should have disappeared between the ages of six to eight years of age. C. What delicate skeletal structures are found inside the nasal cavity that might be missing from an excavated skull? c. The skeletal structures that are found inside the nasal cavity that might be missing from a excavated skull would be the perpendicular plate, middle and inferior nasal concha and the vomer. D. How would Hassan and his team be able to tell the ages of the skeletal remains of the woman and baby?
The radiologist reported signs of osteoporosis. Describe the characteristics of an osteoporotic femur as seen on an X-ray. (How does it differ in appearance from a normal femur?) Osteoporosis is a loss of bone density. The compact and spongy bone are both affected, but not equally - there is more of a deterioration
But whether single or multiple, their similar morphology. This tumor occurs in the metaphysis of long bone, especially in distal femur, proximal tibia is most prevalent, followed by the proximal humerus, and foot bones were very few at. Tumor size ranging in diameter is generally 3 ~ 4cm, large by up to 10cm or more. Tumor type and can be divided into broad-based pedicle two kinds, bulge outward from the bone surface, the surface was hemispherical, cauliflower-like or polypoid. Osteochondroma of the structure is more special, and can be divided into three layers.
MPII002-2.1 Describe how to recognise and manage head injuries including: ⍕ concussion ⍕ skull fracture ⍕ cerebral compression Any head injury is a potentially serious condition. Many injuries to the head lead to unconsciousness, which puts the airway at risk. The below are 3 conditions that may be present in a head injury: Concussion: A concussion is normally by a blow to the head, a child may be unconscious for a short amount of time after which they should start to come round and recover completely. Signs for this sort of injury would be a bump, bruising or swelling. A headache, nausea or vomiting and possibly drowsiness or blurred vision.
A European physician, Professor A Weichselbaum, discovered the cause of the mysterious cerebro-spinal meningitis illness in 1887 and Penicillin was the first antibiotic used to fight the disease. In 1978 the first vaccine was created and mass vaccinations during that year caused a substantial decline in the number of meningitis outbreaks (Fredericks, n.d.). There are three main types of meningococcal disease serogroups: B, C, and Y. Worldwide there are also A and W-135. USA vaccines cover A, C, W-135, and Y but not B (Coffee, 2015).
You’ve heard the name King Tut before but did you know he had malaria and had a bone disorder? Well DNA doesn’t lie. DNA show's that he had a congenital clubfoot caused by bone disease, which would have made it very difficult to walk. Inbreeding may have caused the deformity and may have prevented him from producing an heir with his wife who is thought to be his half sister. King Tut was king of Egypt for approximately four years so why do people consider him so important?
However, less scientific evidence of this can be taken back to a much earlier period when psychosurgery was performed by Neolithic cultures by boring holes in a skull by a process called trepanning. These actions were most likely carried out to “liberate” demons and bad spirits which ancient doctors believed were responsible for madness and brain disease. Seen again in medieval times performed by quack doctors to cure brain damage or madness. Other studies to follow backed up the “Localization” theory in the form of brain tissue stimulation, brain damage case studies, or pure experimentation, which subsequently resulted in the mapping of the brain itself. On September 13th, 1848 a man named Phineas Gage was working as a foreman blasting rock to lay bed for a rail line.
Body A. (Main point 1) Human cadavers have been used since the 4th Century B.C and even to this day are utilized for research and various purposes i. What is a cadaver? 1. A cadaver is a dead human body that may be used by physicians and other scientists to study anatomy, identify disease sites, determine causes of death, and provide tissue to repair a defect in a living human being (www.medicinenet.com) ii.
When soldiers came back, surgeons would do there best to reconstruct there face, nose, or what ever was injured badly. Even in the united states around the 1940’s our soldiers had plastic surgery done as well. Back then many people considered them “quacks” because some doctors were not even qualified but performed different procedures on people. Plastic surgery didn’t really take off until the 1970s and 1980’s where it showed significant growth. Plastic surgery is very interesting.
Dr. Richard Klausner, director of the US National Cancer Institute states: “We have cured mice of cancer for decades and it simply doesn’t work on humans.” Jim Mullen, chief executive of Biogen Idec states:” Boy, we can cure mice like nobody’s business, but when it comes to humans we have a harder time.” Radial Keratotomy, a surgery performed to enable better vision without glasses was perfected on rabbits but when tried on human patients, it failed-blinding them. Now I have a couple questions for you: What are we gaining from finding cures to human-like diseases in animals, if most fail when tried on humans? And why do keep doing it if doctors and other professionals keep saying its wrong? Being aware of what truly goes on in animal labs and acting against it will not only save and protect the lives of thousands of animals but it will also help advance the finding of cures for HUMAN diseases and the decrease of lost human lives. Animal experimentation goes back to writing of the Greeks in the 4th and 3rd centuries BCE.
