...of the Facial Nerve The facial nerve is the seventh cranial nerve; it emerges from between the medulla and the pons, and travels through a 30mm intraosseus canal in the skull until it exits via the stylomastoid foramen and the “motor root” of the facial nerve forms the parotid plexus, splitting into 5 terminal branches i.e. temporal, zygomatic, buccal, marginal mandibular and cervical branches and innervates the muscles of facial expression, stapedius muscle, stylohyoid muscle and the posterior belly of digastric muscle. The facial nerve also supplies branches to the oral cavity and anterior two-thirds of the tongue and functions in the transmission of taste sensations. The facial nerve also provides parasympathetic supply to the...

...The Diaphragm and Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia The diaphragm is a commonly misunderstood body part. Those who sing appreciate it purely due to their ability to control the diaphragm to enhance their singing. However, its real purpose in the human body is more important than that. The diaphragm plays such a crucial role in everyday life to the extent that one cannot survive without it. In this paper we will consider the role of the diaphragm through its anatomy and physiology. We will then review a congenital birth defect known as Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) and how it changes the anatomy and physiology of the body. We will also look at current research and prognosis of the disease in an effort to gain a better understanding of this often-fatal defect. The diaphragm is located almost centrally in the body. It is a continuous sheet of muscle that spreads across the bottom of the rib cage creating a divide between the thoracic cavity and the abdominal cavity. As detailed in the text Gray’s Anatomy, the convex upper surface of the diaphragm faces the thorax and forms the bottom of the thoracic cavity. The concave inferior surface is pointed towards the abdomen and is mostly covered in peritoneum forming the superior part of the abdominal cavity. The right side of the diaphragm is superior to the right lobe of the liver, the right kidney, and the right adrenal gland. The left side of the diaphragm lays over the left lobe of the liver, the fundus of...

...In this case study I will be discussing about the anatomy, injury, treatment, and return to play (RTP) protocol for sacral fracture injuries. In order, to better understand why symptoms and restrictions happen with sacral fractures it is important to know the anatomy of the sacral vertebrae’s. Once we know the anatomy, it is most probably that the injury comes with a neurological problem. This problem can be managed and treated through the right modalities and rehabilitation exercises that this injury presents. Last, follow the RTP protocol for the athlete to be back in the game as soon as possible pain free and stronger than before. Introduction The sacrum is formed by 5 fused sacral vertebrae’s and contains 4 foramens, which the sacral nerves...

...risen exponentially. Unfortunately, tooth loss, whether it is through dental extractions or other means, has long term clinical sequelae associated with it. Osteonecrosis of the jaw, bacteremia, orbital cellulitis, and other psychological and physiological clinical sequelae that impact the well-being of the patient will be discussed. Osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) is defined as the presence of exposed bone in the mouth that fails to heal after appropriate intervention over a period of 6 to 8 weeks (Reid), and results in chronic osteomyelitis with areas of bone necrosis. Most commonly affecting the mandible (Bagan), patients with ONJ experience symptoms that range from painless exposed bone to severe jaw pain (Sambrook). The majority of cases of ONJ have been found to be initiated and associated with tooth extraction procedures as a result of the introduction of oral flora to the exposed jaw bone that prevents healing and becomes infected (Ruggiero). In addition to tooth extractions being a precipitating event to ONJ, it has been found that ONJ occurs in patients who have previously undergone chemotherapy treatment for cancer and take bisphosphonate medications to counteract the effects of osteoporosis. Bisphosphonates are used for cancer treatment and osteoporosis because of its anti-angiogenic properties and ability to inhibit osteoclast action, respectively. This in turn manages the hypercalcemia that is seen in bone...

...PLANNING Decision-making and planning is said to be having the same characteristics in process however, planning is more integrative of a complex of forces and values harmonizing a breadth of goal and sub goals that is longer in term while decision-making is composite. It incorporates a statement of problem to be treated, a formulation and evaluation of imaginable alternative responses and the selection among them. Planners strive to learn of the practical difficulties awaiting their work progress. They must persuade their clients to accept their plan. Their decision must reflect consistent consideration of benefits and penalties and that it is devoted to what is good. We have two major extreme planning models. First is the rational planning model which seeks to construct an objectively ‘best’ plan and to maximize the role of the planner as expert. Goals are defined and priorities set among the desired consequence of policy. Alternatives are analyzed and the best will be chosen, one most likely and economically attainable. The experts’ crucial role would be in acquiring and assessing technical information and in selecting alternative. While the public's function is to define the goals then the planner advises how to best reach them. Second is the advocacy model which claims that alternative policies inevitably restrict value choices, properly within the realm of politics, rather than the preserve of experts. It believes that the public should be involved throughout the planning...

...Chapter I Background of the Study The twentieth century has witnessed tremendous advances in the understanding of infectious diseases, but many problems remain. Skin diseases are a common threat to humans that could be prevented by antibiotic treatment. Carbuncle, a skin disorder, is caused by Staphylococcus aureus bacteria that may occur as a commensal and may affect other tissues when normal barriers have been breached. Researchers around the globe developed antibiotics, such as penicillin and glycopeptides that could kill or slow down the growth of S. aureus bacteria. By 1950, it was reported that 40% of the hospital S. aureus isolates were penicillin and glycopeptide resistant; and recently, this has risen to 80%. Microciona prolifera, or red sponge, contains substances with antibiotic capacity that could kill or slow down the growth of a strain of S. aureus bacteria suggesting possibilities for creating novel drugs to treat the infectious skin disease. This study aims to determine the most efficient antibiotic solution of ectyonin extract from Microciona prolifera against Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. Statement of the Problem General Problem This study aims to compare which of the different solutions of Ectyonin extract from Microciona prolifera is the most effective in inhibiting the growth of the bacteria. Specific Problem Specifically it aims to answer the following questions: 1. Which of the four solutions...

...Massachusetts is often hailed as the cradle of liberty and truthfully it is the state most deserving of the title. The many of the first few acts of rebellion were carried out in Massachusetts such as the boston tea party and many various meetings to plan the revolution. Many members of the sons of liberty were from Massachusetts too and they were very crucial in spreading patriotic sentiments all over the states. Massachusetts held a very important role in the America’s fight for independence and as such it is very easy to see the cultural and historical significance of the state. In this essay we will look at the cultural contributions, persons, and socio-economic situations of pre 20th century Massachusetts DESCRIPTION Art Case Study: Faneuil Hall (source: Wikimedia. Image by Infrogmation) Faneuil Hall located in Boston, Massachusetts was commissioned in 1740 by Merchant Peter Faneuil to serve as market house. In its early days Faneuil hall also served as a Meeting hall for the people of Boston, hosting speeches and by prominent American leaders such as Samuel Adams ("Faneuil Hall."). Originally two story high, the original Faneuil Hall built by Scottish born artist John Simbert was rebuilt and expanded upon multiple times, once when it burned down in 1761 and in 1805 when Architect Charles Bulfinch expanded the building adding a third floor and increasing it to the 30m x 24m building today. The Architect John Simbert...
