Diatomaceous earth
Depending on the granularity, this powder can have an abrasive feel, similar to pumice powder, and has a low density as a result of its high porosity. The typical chemical composition of oven-dried diatomaceous earth is 80 to 90% silica, with 2 to 4% alumina (attributed mostly to clay minerals) and 0.5 to 2% iron oxide. Diatomaceous earth consists of fossilized remains of diatoms, a type of hard-shelled algae.


Diatomite
In Germany, diatomaceous earth was also extracted at Altenschlirf on the Vogelsberg (Upper Hesse) and at Klieken (Saxony-Anhalt). There is a layer of diatomaceous earth up to 4 metres (13 ft) thick in the nature reserve of Soos in the Czech Republic.


-
Diatoms. Diatoms are unicellular organisms that serve as food for other marine organisms. When they die, their silica shells collect on the floor of their habitat and become fossilized, forming diatomaceous earth.


-
Diatomaceous earth is very porous, which gives it use as a filter for drinking water, beer, wine, and even swimming pools. It's also used as pet litter, an abrasive in toothpaste and polishes, an absorbent for industrial spills, and insulation material in furnaces.


Diatomaceous Earth
When mice were forced to breathe diatomaceous earth for one hour each day for a year, there was an increase in lung cancers. When rats were fed silica at a high dose for two years, there was no increase in cancer development.

Save. Diatomaceous earth, otherwise known as Diatomite or DE, is a type of sedimentary rock composed of tiny fossilized organisms called diatoms. It has a number of functions, but is known for its use as a pesticide.


Diatomaceous earth
A sample of food-grade diatomaceous earth. Diatomaceous earth /ËdaÉª.ÉtÉËmeÉªÊÉs ËÉrÎ¸/ , also known as D.E. , diatomite, or kieselgur / kieselguhr, is a naturally occurring, soft, siliceous sedimentary rock that is easily crumbled into a fine white to off-white powder.


Diatomaceous Earth
Most diatomaceous earth is made of amorphous silicon dioxide. However, it can contain very low levels of crystalline silicon dioxide. The first pesticide products containing silicon dioxide (diatomaceous earth) were registered in 1960 to kill insects and mites.


Diatomaceous Earth
Diatomaceous earth is made from the fossilized remains of tiny, aquatic organisms called diatoms. Their skeletons are made of a natural substance called silica. Over a long period of time, diatoms accumulated in the sediment of rivers, streams, lakes, and oceans. Today, silica deposits are mined from these areas.

Create a free account to save it. the amount of matter that something is made of; its value does not change with the objects location in the universe. the amount of mass that something occupies or the amount of space that something contains. the temperature at which a substance changes from a solid to a liquid.


Translations for physical change
Physical changes occur when objects or substances undergo a change that does not change their chemical composition. This contrasts with the concept of chemical change in which the composition of a substance changes or one or more substances combine or break up to form new substances. In general a physical change is reversible using physical means.

Epigenetics & Inheritance
Epigenetic inheritance is an unconventional finding. It goes against the idea that inheritance happens only through the DNA code that passes from parent to offspring. It means that a parent's experiences, in the form of epigenetic tags, can be passed down to future generations. As unconventional as it may be, there is little doubt that epigenetic inheritance is real. In fact, it explains some strange patterns of inheritance geneticists have been puzzling over for decades.

Definition of 'Expense Ratio'. Definition: Expense ratio is the fee charged by the investment company to manage the funds of investors. Description: All the investment companies incur cost for operating mutual funds and they charge a percentage of asset funds to cover the expenses.


Expense ratio
The percentage of the assets that are spent to run a mutual fund (as of the last annual statement). This includes expenses such as management and advisory fees, overhead costs, and 12b-1 (distribution and advertising) fees.


-
Meanwhile, in the wonderful world of index funds, the expense ratio is typically around 0.25% and gets as low as 0.18% for the king of all index funds -- the Vanguard 500 Index. However, just because a fund labels itself an index fund does not mean that it has the extremely low expense ratio of the best index funds.


Definition of 'Maturity Profile'
This fee charged is generally referred to as a 'load'. Exit load is a fee or an amount charged from an investor for exiting or leaving a scheme or the company as an investor. Expense ratio is the fee charged by the investment company to manage the funds of investors.


Donât Ignore Gross Expense Ratio
Definition and Importance of Gross Expense Ratio. A mutual fund or ETFâs expense ratio represents the percentage of a fundâs assets that are used to pay operating expenses, management fees including 12b-1 fees, and administrative fees. In most cases, a fundâs gross expense ratio and its net expense ratio are the same amount. But in some instances, the gross expense ratio is higher than the net expense ratio. This occurs when a portion of the gross expenses are reduced by waivers or reimbursements.


Expense ratio
The expense ratio does not include brokerage costs for trading the portfolio, although these are reported as a percentage of assets to the SEC by the funds in a Statement of Additional Information (SAI). The SAI is available to shareholders on request.


Expense Ratio â What is an Expense Ratio?
The Gross Expense Ratio represents the percentage of assets of the fund used to run and manage the fund, before any fee waivers or reimbursements. The Net Expense Ratio is what investors are ultimately charged to be invested in the fund after fee waivers, or reimbursements.


Expense ratio
Neither the expense ratio nor the SAI includes the transactions costs of spreads, normally incurred in unlisted securities and foreign stocks. These two costs can add significantly to the reported expenses of a fund. The expense ratio is often termed an Operating Expense Ratio (OER).


-
The costs of owning a fund are called the expense ratio. (This is distinct from the costs of buying a fund, which are the sales loads which we describe here. The expense ratio represents the percentage of the fund's assets that go purely toward the expense of running the fund. The expense ratio covers the investment advisory fee, the administrative costs, 12b-1 distribution fees, and other operating expenses.


-
The nifty thing about the expense ratio is that it wraps all these various costs and expenses into one number so that you don't have to do a lot of math. Currently the typical expense ratio for an actively managed mutual fund is about 1.5%, and that number has been going up lately. With an expense ratio of 1.5%, a mutual fund is cutting itself in on 1.5% of the total money in the fund every year. That's whether there's a good year or a bad year for the fund.


Sarafem
While a specific study with pimozide and fluoxetine has not been conducted, the potential for drug interactions or QT prolongation warrants restricting the concurrent use of pimozide and PROZAC [see CONTRAINDICATIONS, WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS ].


Sarafem
If fluoxetine is added to the treatment regimen of a patient already receiving a drug metabolized by CYP2D6, the need for decreased dose of the original medication should be considered. Drugs with a narrow therapeutic index represent the greatest concern (e.g., flecainide, propafenone, vinblastine, and TCAs).


Prozac
The structural formula is: Fluoxetine hydrochloride is a white to off-white crystalline solid with a solubility of 14 mg/mL in water. Each PulvuleÂ® contains fluoxetine hydrochloride equivalent to 10 mg (32.3 Î¼mol), 20 mg (64.7 Î¼mol), or 40 mg (129.3 Î¼mol) of fluoxetine. The Pulvules also contain starch, gelatin, silicone, titanium dioxide, iron oxide, and other inactive ingredients.


Sarafem
Coadministration of fluoxetine with other drugs that are metabolized by CYP2D6, including certain antidepressants (e.g., TCAs), antipsychotics (e.g., phenothiazines and most atypicals), and antiarrhythmics (e.g., propafenone, flecainide, and others) should be approached with caution.


Prozac
The magnitude of the impact of this factor is small in comparison to the overall variability between individuals, and therefore dose modification is not routinely recommended. When using PROZAC and olanzapine and in combination, also refer to the Drug Interactions section of the package insert for Symbyax.


Prozac
The most common adverse reaction (incidence at least 1% for fluoxetine and greater than placebo) associated with discontinuation in 3 pediatric placebo-controlled trials (N=418 randomized; 228 fluoxetine-treated; 190 placebo-treated) was mania/hypomania (1.8% for fluoxetine-treated, 0% for placebo-treated).


Prozac
It is also marketed for the treatment of premenstrual dysphoric disorder (SarafemÂ®, fluoxetine hydrochloride). It is designated (Â±)-Nmethyl-3-phenyl-3-[(Î±,Î±,Î±-trifluoro-p-tolyl)oxy]propylamine hydrochloride and has the empirical formula of C 17 H 18 F 3 NOâ¢HCl. Its molecular weight is 345.79.


Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) Information
Fluoxetine is included in the class of drugs called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). This class of drugs is used to treat depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders.

PROZAC and other antidepressant medicines may cause serious side effects, including: 1. Suicidal thoughts or actions: â¢ PROZAC and other antidepressant medicines may increase suicidal thoughts or actions in some children, teenagers, or young adults within the first few months of treatment or when the dose is changed.


Cholesterol Lowering Medications
Nicotinic acid reduces LDL-cholesterol levels by 10 to 20 percent, reduces triglycerides by 20 to 50 percent, and raises HDL-cholesterol by 15 to 35 percent. A common and troublesome side effect of nicotinic acid is flushing or hot flashes, which are the result of the widening of blood vessels.


Niacin - Natural Uses for Lowering Cholesterol & Triglycerides
Niacin and cholesterol are closely linked, and niacin (vitamin B3) is recommended by some experts to help lower LDL (bad) cholesterol levels within your body. Some cardiologists prescribe 3,000 milligrams (3 grams) of niacin per day or even higher amounts for people with very high cholesterol levels.


Niacin can boost 'good' cholesterol
Niacin is a B vitamin that may raise your HDL (good) cholesterol. But side effects might outweigh benefits for most people. Niacin, a B vitamin, has long been used to increase high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol â the good cholesterol that helps remove low-density lipoprotein (LDL), the bad cholesterol from your bloodstream. But niacin isn't for everyone.


Niacin can boost 'good' cholesterol
In the past, it was thought that HDL levels would increase even more if niacin was added to cholesterol medications called statins, such as atorvastatin (Lipitor) and simvastatin (Zocor).


-
Doctor's Response: Nicotinic acid or niacin, one of the water-soluble B vitamins, improves all lipoproteins when given in doses well above the vitamin requirement. Nicotinic acid lowers the total cholesterol, bad LDL-cholesterol, and triglyceride levels, while raising the good HDL-cholesterol level.


Niacin - Natural Uses for Lowering Cholesterol & Triglycerides
So How Effective Is Niacin For Lowering Cholesterol & Triglycerides?... Niacin - Vitamin B3. Niacin is a very safe nutrient when used at normal dosages for general health functions (energy product, fat metabolism, etc.), such as those found in a regular daily multi-vitamin. (which is only 20-60 mgs daily usage.)


-
More importantly, niacin can increase your risk of: 1  High blood sugar levels or type 2 diabetes. 2  Infection. 3  Liver damage. 4  Stroke. Bleeding.


Niacin and Cholesterol
What are niacinâs benefits? The main goal of cholesterol treatment is to lower LDL (âbadâ) cholesterol. Statins do this much better than niacin does. But niacin has the advantage of raising HDL (âgoodâ) cholesterol much more than statins do. It also lowers triglycerides, fats in the blood that can increase the risk of heart disease.


What Is Flush Free Niacin?
Niacin, also called nicotinic acid, is a B vitamin (vitamin B3). It occurs naturally in plants and animals, and is also added to many foods as a vitamin supplement. It is also present in many multiple vitamins and nutritional supplements. Niacin is used to treat and prevent a lack of natural niacin in the body, and to lower cholesterol and triglycerides (types of fat) in the blood. It is also used to lower the risk of heart attack in people with high cholesterol who have already had a heart attack.


Niacin can boost 'good' cholesterol
Most doctors no longer recommend niacin for first line cholesterol control â except for people who can't tolerate statins. In those people, the benefits of niacin may outweigh the risk of potentially serious side effects.

No, they are not the same. Aspirin is a non-steroidal anti inflammatory (NSAID) where as acetaminophen is not. Aspirin relieves pain by blocking pain receptors and acetaminophen works by raising the pain threshold.


What's the Difference Between Tylenol and Aspirin?
There are basically two types of OTC pain relievers. Some contain acetaminophen, which is processed in the liver. Others contain non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which are processed elsewhere. Examples of OTC NSAIDs are aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil) and naproxen sodium (Aleve).


What's the Difference Between Tylenol and Aspirin?
Some contain acetaminophen, which is processed in the liver. Others contain non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which are processed elsewhere. Examples of OTC NSAIDs are aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil) and naproxen sodium (Aleve). Taking too much acetaminophen can lead to liver damage.

Are aspirin and acetaminophen the same?
Confidence votes 742. No, they are not the same. Aspirin is a non-steroidal anti inflammatory (NSAID) where as acetaminophen is not. Aspirin relieves pain by blocking pain receptors and acetaminophen works by raising the pain threshold.


What's the difference between acetaminophen and ibuprofen, and what are the dangers of each?
A. Acetaminophen is used more as a fever reducer and for pain. Ibuprofen, which is also known as Motrin or Advil, can be used for pain that's caused by inflammation. So the theory is, is that, if the area is inflamed, that's really what's causing the pain.


-
Still, you should use acetaminophen with caution. It can damage the liver, which is a risk especially for people with cirrhosis of the liver or hepatitis, heavy drinkers, and seniors. No one should take more than the maximum daily amount--4,000 mg per day, or the equivalent of eight extra-strength 500 mg capsules.

Polis
There were eventually over 1,000 poleis in the Greek World but among the most important were Athens, Sparta, Corinth, Thebes, Syracuse, Aegina, Rhodes, Argos, Eretria, and Elis. The biggest was Sparta, although with some 8,500 kmÂ² of territory, this was exceptionally large and most poleis were small in size.


pH -- Water properties
One electrode is contained in a liquid that has a fixed acidity, or pH. The other electrode responds to the acidity of the water sample. A voltmeter in the probe measures the difference between the voltages of the two electrodes.


Electrolysis of Water
Creating an electric potential through water causes positive ions, including the inherent hydrogen ions H3O+, to move towards the negative electrode (cathode) and negative ions, including the inherent hydroxide ions OH-, to move towards the positive electrode (anode).

Never drink the acid water produced by a water ionizer. However, it has certain characteristics that make it useful. Acid water has the ability to kill bacteria on contact. It can be used on the skin and hair, since both are slightly acidic. It can be used as a skin astringent to tighten and cleanse.


pH -- Water properties
pH: Definition and measurement units. pH is a measure of how acidic/basic water is. The range goes from 0 - 14, with 7 being neutral. pHs of less than 7 indicate acidity, whereas a pH of greater than 7 indicates a base. pH is really a measure of the relative amount of free hydrogen and hydroxyl ions in the water. Water that has more free hydrogen ions is acidic, whereas water that has more free hydroxyl ions is basic. Since pH can be affected by chemicals in the water, pH is an important indicator of water that is changing chemically.

What is methane and why should you care?
Methane's risk to the climate. Unfortunately, burning natural gas for fuel releases methane into the atmosphere, where it contributes to climate change. Meanwhile, the very production of natural gas is also a methane risk, as much of the gas escapes during the fossil fuel exploration process.very time you breathe, you probably inhale a few trace amounts of methane, one of the most powerful and important gases on the planet. Methane, at its core, is fairly simple: It's just one carbon molecule surrounded by four hydrogen molecules.

Suspecting twins? When will you know?
People typically discover they're having twins during a routine scan, often in the first trimester. Ultrasound is almost foolproof at diagnosing twins, but the greater the number of babies, the less accurate the ability to detect how many there are. It's possible to see twins (or more) on a scan at around six weeks, though one baby may be missed at this early stage. Sometimes a heartbeat is seen in one sac, but not in the other. Rescanning in a week or two may reveal a second heartbeat, or the scan may show that one sac is growing and the other still empty.


Diagnosis
If an ultrasound detects conjoined twins, a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan may be done. The MRI may provide greater detail about where the conjoined twins are connected and which organs they share.


How early can you see twins on a ultrasound?
Confidence votes 56. To see twins, it depends what kind of twins you are having. Faternal twins (Two (2)separate eggs that are both fertalized) can be seen on your first ultrasound, as early as 6 weeks or 4 week if your doctor orders a vaginal ultrasound. Identical twins (One (1) egg that has been fertalized by one sperm, but decides to make 2 babies) can be seen when the fetal pole is present which shows as early as 9 weeks.


-
Ultrasound can be used to diagnose multiple gestation; twin pregnancy (a) and triplet pregnancy (b). Early ultrasound can also confirm exclude identical twins. using the lambda sign, Î» or the twin peak sign (c), (d).


Diagnosis
Conjoined twins. Diagnosis. Conjoined twins can be diagnosed using standard ultrasound as early as the end of the first trimester. More-detailed ultrasounds and echocardiograms can be used about halfway through pregnancy to better determine the extent of the twins' connection and the functioning of their organs.


Multiples and Twins
My pregnancy test looked normal and I found out I was pregnant at 7 weeks and then at 9 weeks had my first ultrasound and at that point it was very obvious there were 2 babies in there :) they were fraternal girls and are now 8 weeks old!


-
Any bleeding in pregnancy is abnormal. Ultrasound scan is used to confirm viability of the fetus in the event of vaginal bleeding in early pregnancy. Fetal heart movements can be seen as early as 6 weeks of gestation, with the trans-vaginal transducer.


-
The confirmation of twins and other multiple pregnancies can be easily made by the ultrasound scan in early pregnancy. Ultrasound can also determine the chorionicity of twin pregnancies to confirm or exclude monozygotic pregnancies (identical twins).


Can There Be a Hidden Twin on an Ultrasound?
The Rare Occasions of a Hidden Twin. As with most pregnancy concerns, there are some very rare exceptions. Ultrasound provides a picture of the womb, but sometimes the picture can be misleading or misinterpreted. After twenty weeks, a second fetus should be clearly visible on ultrasound. The likelihood that there is another baby hidden in the womb is extremely minuscule. Chances are, you are not having twins if there is no evidence of multiples on ultrasound.


Multiples and Twins
I found out by u/s at 6 weeks. I think 5-6 weeks is the earliest you can really know by u/s. As far as other ways, my hCG didn't really lead me to believe twins. It was 77 at 12dpo, then 1489 one week later... so pretty on par with doubling every 48 hours.

However, thatâs no longer. The New York Daily News reports GM has sliced the free trial period from a generous six months to just three months. The publication noticed the change in the free trial period while researching Chevrolet vehicles on the brandâs official website. GM did not announce the change to the OnStar free trial period. As stated, the trial period covered the OnStar Guidance and 4G LTE Wi-Fi plans. But, in a statement, GM stated customers will still automatically be enrolled into the OnStar basic plan for five years even if the trial period is not renewed for additional services.

Mumps is an extremely contagious viral infection that usually affects children. The condition has a number of symptoms, the most common one being swelling of one or both of the salivary glands on the sides of the face.s mumps is viral, antibiotics cannot be used to treat it, and at present there are no anti-viral medications able to treat mumps. Treatment can only help relieve the symptoms until the infection has run its course and the body has developed an immunity, much like a cold.

Parotitis
Bacterial parotitis must be differentiated from viral parotitis which is most commonly caused by mumps; other viral pathogens include HIV, enteroviruses, EBV, influenza, parainfluenza, CMV, and lymphocytic choriomeningitis.arotitis is inflammation of the parotid salivary gland: it can be acute, chronic, or chronic with acute exacerbations. Acute suppurative parotitis was a well recognized complication of abdominal surgeries prior to routine administration of perioperative antibiotics.

Acute suppurative parotitis was a well recognized complication of abdominal surgeries prior to routine administration of perioperative antibiotics.


What to know about mumps
Examples of how it can be spread are: Someone infected with the mumps virus is contagious for approximately 15 days (six days before the symptoms start to show, up to nine days after they start). The mumps virus is part of the paramyxovirus family, which is a widespread cause of infection, especially in children.Normally, mumps can be diagnosed by its symptoms alone, especially by examining the facial swelling. In addition to examining this area and taking a note of the symptoms, a doctor may:s mumps is viral, antibiotics cannot be used to treat it, and at present there are no anti-viral medications able to treat mumps. Treatment can only help relieve the symptoms until the infection has run its course and the body has developed an immunity, much like a cold.

Causes
Causes of mumps. Mumps is caused by the mumps virus, which belongs to a family of viruses known as paramyxoviruses. These viruses are a common source of infection, particularly in children.When you get mumps, the virus moves from your respiratory tract (your nose, mouth and throat) into your parotid glands (saliva-producing glands found either side of your face), where it begins to reproduce. This causes the glands to swell.hen you get mumps, the virus moves from your respiratory tract (your nose, mouth and throat) into your parotid glands (saliva-producing glands found either side of your face), where it begins to reproduce.

EMI â Electronagnetic Interference in industrial instalation and much more...
When several circuits share a ground wire, the currents on a circuit (flowing through the common finite impedance of the base line) can cause variations on the ground potential of the other circuits. If the currents are large enough, the ground potential variations can cause serious disturbances in the operations of all the circuits connected to the common signal ground.


What is EMI and how can you prevent it?
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) is an electromagnetic emission that causes a disturbance in another piece of electrical equipment. EMI can be attributed to a wide span of the electromagnetic spectrum including radio, DC and even microwave frequencies. Because anything that carries rapidly changing electrical currents gives off electromagnetic emissions, it is quite common for one objectâs emissions to âinterfereâ with anotherâs.


EMI â Electronagnetic Interference in industrial instalation and much more...
EMI is the energy that causes undesirable response to any equipment and can be generated by sparking on motor brushes, power circuit switches, activation of inductive and resistive loads, relay activation, switches, circuit breaks, fluorescent lamps, heaters, automotive ignitions, atmosphere discharges and even electrostatic discharges between persons and equipment, microwave sets, mobile communication equipment, etc.


EMI â Electronagnetic Interference in industrial instalation and much more...
Topology and wiring distribution, types of cables, protection techniques are factors to be considered to minimize the EMI effects. Remember that in high frequencies the cables behave like a transmission system with crossed and confusing lines that reflect energy and spread it from a circuit to another.


EMI â Electronagnetic Interference in industrial instalation and much more...
Measures to reduce inductive coupling effect between cable and ground loop. 1  Reduce the cable height h and the cable length. 2  Whenever possible place the cable near the metal surface. 3  Use twisted pair cable. 4  In high frequencies ground the shield in two points (watch out!) and in low frequencies at a single point.


What is EMI and how can you prevent it?
EMI can be caused two ways. It can be caused by direct physical contact with a conductor, called conducted EMI, or by induction (without physical contact), called radiated EMI. While nearly every electrical device creates emissions that can cause EMI, (i.e. electric motors, Bluetooth devices, cellphones) electric power cords and high-speed cabling are the most common sources of radiated EMI.


EMI â Electronagnetic Interference in industrial instalation and much more...
Most different problems can be generated by EMI, like in electronic equipment, with failure of communicton between devices of an equipment network and computers, alarms generated without explanation, action on relays, without logic or command, and burn down of components and electronic circuits.

A&P Lab Exam 2
It indicates an increased efficiency of cardiac functioning. Because stroke volume (the amount of blood ejected by a ventricle with each contraction) increases with physical conditioning, the heart can contract more slowly and still meet circulatory demands.


Anatomical terms of muscle
Muscles are described using unique anatomical terminology according to their actions and structure. Types There are three types of muscle tissue in the human body: skeletal, smooth and cardiac. Skeletal muscle Skeletal striated muscle , or voluntary muscle, primarily joins to bone with tendons .


A&P Lab Exam 2
The left side of the heart is the systemic circulation pump that carries oxygen-rich blood to the body tissues and back to the right side of the heart. The blood that moves through the heart also nourishes the myocardium.

Together with the skeletal system it forms the musculoskeletal system , which is responsible for movement of the human body . Muscles There are three distinct types of muscles: skeletal muscles , cardiac or heart muscles , and smooth (non-striated) muscles . Muscles provide strength, balance, posture, movement and heat for the body to keep warm.


A&P Lab Exam 2
Blood returning to the heart often flows against gravity, requiring structural modifications to ensure that venous return equals cardiac output. Valves also help to prevent backflow. Capillaries are only one cell layer thick (the endothelium and underlain basal lamina).


A&P Lab Exam 2
The right side of the heart is the pulmonary circulation pump, moving oxygen-poor blood to the lungs to unload carbon dioxide and retrieve oxygen, carrying the blood back to the left side of the heart..


A&P Lab Exam 2
One complete heart beat, during which both atria and ventricles contract and relax, is termed _____ and is marked by a succession of changes in _____ and _____. within the heart the cardiac cycle, blood volume, pressure


Striated muscle tissue
There are 3 types of specific striated muscles, these being: Pharyngeal muscle (embryologically different from skeletal muscle) Cardiac muscle (heart muscle) Skeletal muscle Contractions in striated muscles are voluntary, except for the heart muscle, in which contractions are regulated involuntarily by the sinoatrial node .


A&P Lab Exam 2
The result is the number of beats per minute. Name the three tunics that make up the walls of blood vessels and describe each. The tunica intima lines the lumen of vessels and is a single thin layer of endothelium (squamous cells underlain by a scant basal lamina) that is continuous with the endocardium of the heart.


Characteristics of Cardiac Muscle Tissue
Cardiac muscle is specialized tissue that is found only in the heart. It has characteristics similar to both smooth and skeletal muscle tissue, as well as specialized properties, that allow it to function with fast but sustained contractions, rapid conduction and coordinated movement.

Seropositive & seronegative
Introduction. The diagnosis of any disease usually progresses along a well defined path that has three parts: a history of the complaint, blood tests and, usually, imaging (x-rays or scans). Seropositive/seronegative is a term that refers to the results of a blood test.The blood test that is ordered by the doctor in order to help establish the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is looking for the presence of two proteins in the blood.eropositive/seronegative is a term that refers to the results of a blood test.

Iodine Allergy and Contrast Administration
Among the theories for such reactions is the allergy theory, which proposes that either contrast material or iodine acts as a hapten, thus, provoking a specific immune response. An antigen-antibody reaction then occurs when the patient is subsequently re-exposed to contrast material.


Pre-Medication Policy
Prophylaxis for those with reactions to other allergens is no longer necessary. Only patients with a prior reaction to contrast are known to be at higher risk (3-11% reaction rate, with 2% break-through) (Mervak et al.Lasser et al). The rate of reaction for patients with prior anaphylaxis to substances other then contrast may be higher than the normal population, but this is not proven.

Iodine Allergy and Contrast Administration
Patients are frequently asked about iodine or seafood allergy before IV contrast material is administered because of a commonly held belief among radiologists and others in the medical community of a specific cross-reactivity between iodinated radiographic contrast material and other iodine-rich substances.


Iodine Allergy and Contrast Administration
As with any other allergy, the nature and severity of the reaction should be considered when choosing the type of contrast material and when determining the need for a premedication regimen. Seafood allergy should not of itself be regarded as an absolute contraindication to the administration of IV contrast material.
