Retinal Detachment
A retinal detachment is a separation of the retina from its attachments to the underlying tissue within the eye. Most retinal detachments are a result of a retinal break, hole, or tear.

Shared Flashcard Set

What is the effect of parasympathetic stimulation on the heart?
Answers.comÂ® is making the world better one answer at a time. Both the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems innervate the heart. The parasympathetic nervous system functions in regulating heart rate through the vagus nerve, with increased vagal activity producing a slowing of heart reate.


-
Abundant evidence links sympathetic nervous system activation to outcomes of patients with heart failure (HF).1 In contrast, parasympathetic activation has complex cardiovascular effects that are only beginning to be recognized.


How Does the Nervous System Control the Heart Rate in Exercise?
The nervous system controls your heart rate at rest and during exercise. The normal heart rate for an average adult is 60 to 100 beats per minute. This number can increase to a maximum heart rate during exercise that varies with age. Your heart rate, both at rest and during exercise, is controlled by the nervous system. The sympathetic nerves increase your heart rate while you exercise, while the parasympathetic nerves slow the heart rate after you are done.


Heart Rate
What controls heart rate? Heart rate is controlled by the two branches of the autonomic (involuntary) nervous system. The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS). The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) releases the hormones (catecholamines - epinephrine and norepinephrine) to accelerate the heart rate. The parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) releases the hormone acetylcholine to slow the heart rate.

Risk of Suicide
Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death among adults in the U.S. and the 2nd leading cause of death among people aged 10-24; these rates are increasing. Suicidal thoughts or behaviors are both damaging and dangerous and are therefore considered a psychiatric emergency.


Suicide
Some researchers say this decrease in suicide rates is because depression is now better recognized and treated in young people. The latest figures for death by suicide among 15 to 24 year-olds in Canada show national incidence rates of 11.6 per 100,000 population. This means that for every 8,620 young people between the age of 15 and 24, there will be one death by suicide. Rates among males are nearly three times as high as those among females.


Suicide
There is a common perception that suicide rates are highest among the young. However, it is the elderly, particularly older white males that have the highest rates. And among white males 65 and older, risk goes up with age. White men 85 and older have a suicide rate that is six times that of the overall national rate.

Suicide and Postpartum Depression. It is somewhat startling that in many countries suicide is now the leading external cause of death amongst new mothers.6 In most of these cases, women are suffering with postpartum depression. Between 8-15% of women suffer postpartum depression, and the condition is usually mild and manageable.


Suicidal Thoughts
Among the other important findings of this study: 1  The living situation of a person with schizophrenia affects risk. Those who live alone, or do not live with their families, are at increased risk of suicide. 2  Recent losses (such as a divorce or death) increases risk, as is true for the general population.


Risk of Suicide
Risk of Suicide. If you or someone you know is in an emergency, call The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-TALK (8255) or call 911 immediately. According to the CDC, each year more than 41,000 individuals die by suicide, leaving behind thousands of friends and family members to navigate the tragedy of their loss.


Black Teens, Especially Girls, at High Risk for Suicide Attempts
Having a mental disorder was closely linked to attempted suicide among study participants. Teens with anxiety disorders were a highest risk. Despite this relationship, roughly half of teens who attempted suicide did not have or were never diagnosed with a mental disorder.


Black Teens, Especially Girls, at High Risk for Suicide Attempts
Suicide is the third leading cause of death in all teens in the United States, according to the National Center for Health Statistics. Historically, black teens and young adults have lower suicide rates than white teens, but in recent decades, the suicide rate for black youth has increased dramatically.

Amongst those diagnosed with depression, a study in Finland5 found that key indicators for suicide include: previous self-harm, severity of the illness, alcohol or drug abuse, serious or chronic physical illnesses, lack of a partner, anxiety and personality disorders.


Types of Muscular Dystrophy and Neuromuscular Diseases
The most well known of the muscular dystrophies is Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), followed by Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD). Listed below are the nine different types of muscular dystrophy. Each type differs in the muscles affected, the age of onset, and its rate of progression.


Autoimmune Disease
Many autoimmune diseases donât restrict themselves to one part of the body. For example, SLE can affect the skin, joints, kidneys, heart, nerves, blood vessels, and more. Type 1 diabetes can affect your glands, eyes, kidneys, muscles, and more. No one is sure what causes autoimmune diseases. In most cases, a combination of factors is probably at work.


Inflammatory Muscle Disorders: Their Diagnosis and Treatment
We test for the muscle enzymes which may be elevated and, if need be, there are specialized tests. Electromyography, imaging studies, magnetic resonance imaging, and ultrasonography can be used and finally, if need be, a muscle biopsy can actually reveal by histological analysis what the status of the muscle is.


Autoimmune Disease
If it affects the thyroid, as in Gravesâ disease and thyroiditis, it might cause tiredness, weight gain, and muscle aches. If it attacks the skin, as it does in scleroderma/systemic sclerosis, vitiligo, and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), it can cause rashes, blisters, and color changes.


Public Choice
The Lessons of Public Choice. One key conclusion of public choice is that changing the identities of the people who hold public office will not produce major changes in policy outcomes. Electing better people will not, by itself, lead to much better government.


Rational Choice Theory: Definition & Principles
When we get down to it, states can only act through people. Consequently, if we want to understand state behavior in international relations, we need to understand human behavior. Rational choice theory attempts to do just this.


-
Rational choice theory has been used to explain why actors in international relations behave the way they do. The theory generally argues that individuals pursue their preferences in a self-interested and rational matter.


Public Choice
Public choice, in other words, simply transfers the rational actor model of economic theory to the realm of politics. Two insights follow immediately from economistsâ study of collective choice processes. First, the individual becomes the fundamental unit of analysis.


Public Choice
Public choice originated as a distinctive field of specialization a half century ago in the works of its founding fathers, Kenneth Arrow, Duncan Black, James Buchanan, Gordon Tullock, Anthony Downs, William Niskanen, Mancur Olson, and William Riker.

While rational choice theory seems to make sense, it is not without significant criticisms. Most critics attack the assumptions of the theory. Additionally, critics note that the model ignores the complexity of real-world scenarios that don't fit tidily into its model.

While rational choice theory provides a nice clean model for explaining decision-making that makes intuitive sense, it is subject to some significant criticisms. These critics generally attack the assumptions of rational choice theory. Some point out that assumption of individual action and self-interest is problematic. Individuals are a product of their social and cultural environment and often engage in collective action that is not always in their limited self-interest.


Osmolality, Osmolarity and Fluid Homeostasis
Osmolarity is an estimation of the osmolar concentration of plasma and is proportional to the number of particles per litre of solution; it is expressed as mmol/L. This is what is used when a calculated value is derived. It is derived from the measured Na+, K+, urea and glucose concentrations.


-
c = Sici, where i is as defined above, and ci is the molar concentration of the ith solute in solution. For example, the osmolarity of a solution prepared by dissolving 1 g of vancomycin in 100 mL of 0.9% sodium chloride solution can be calculated as follows:


Osmolarity and Osmolality
Osmolarity is defined as the number of osmoles of solute per liter (L) of solution. It is expressed in terms of osmol/L or Osm/L. Osmolarity depends on the number of particles in a chemical solution, but not on the identity of those molecules or ions. Sample Osmolarity Calculations.


Chemistry Chapter 13 Solutions
Number of moles of solute in one liter of solution. Measure of the amount of solute in a given amount of solvent oâ¦. Concentration of a solution expressed in moles of solute per kâ¦. Relatively small amount of solute in a solvent.


Osmolality, Osmolarity and Fluid Homeostasis
Osmolality and osmolarity are measurements of the solute concentration of a solution. In practice, there is negligible difference between the absolute values of the different measurements. For this reason, both terms are often used interchangeably, even though they refer to different units of measurement.


Difference Between Tonicity and Osmolarity
Tonicity vs Osmolarity. Osmolarity is the measure of osmotic pressure of a solution. In simpler terms, it is roughly the measure of the amount of solute in the solution but as dissociation of solute affects its osmolarity. Osmolarity is not a direct measure of molar concentration. Osmolarity is therefore the movement of water from inside to the outside of a cell (and itâs reverse also). Tonicity on the other hand refers to relative concentration of solute particles inside a cell with respect to concentration outside the cell.

Pinworms (Pinworm Infection in Children and Adults, Enterobiasis)
Pinworm infection is caused by the helminth (Enterobius vermicularis), a small, white parasitic worm. The pinworm is about the length of a staple (ranges from 2 to 13 mm [0.08 to 0.5 inches]) and lives for the most part in the rectum of humans. While an infected person is asleep, female pinworms exit the intestines through the anus and deposit eggs on the skin around the anus.


Overview
By Mayo Clinic Staff. Accidentally swallowing or breathing in pinworm eggs causes a pinworm infection. The microscopic eggs can be carried to your mouth by contaminated food, drink or your fingers. Once swallowed, the eggs hatch in the intestines and mature into adult worms within a few weeks. Female pinworms move to the anal area to lay their eggs, which often results in anal itching. When you scratch the itchy area, the eggs cling to your fingers and get under your fingernails.


-
Anti-worm medicines are used to kill the pinworms (not their eggs). Your provider will likely recommend one dose of medicine that is available over-the-counter and by prescription. More than one household member is likely to be infected, so the entire household is often treated.

Pinworm
Pinworm infections (also known as seatworm infection, threadworm infection, enterobiasis, or oxyuriasis) are contagious. Pinworms get into the body when people ingest the microscopic pinworm eggs. These eggs can be found on contaminated hands and surfaces, such as:


Pinworms
Female worms then move to the child's anal area, especially at night, and deposit more eggs. This may cause intense itching. The area may even become infected. When the child scratches the anal area, the eggs can get under the child's fingernails.


-
Contaminated fingers can then carry pinworm eggs to the mouth, where they are go back into the body, or stay on various surfaces, where they can live for 2 to 3 weeks. If you're wondering if your family pet could give your child a pinworm infection, it can't. Pinworms don't come from animals.


-
Pinworm is an intestinal infection caused by tiny parasitic worms. One of the most common roundworm infections, pinworm infections affect millions of people each year, particularly school-age kids. If your child develops a pinworm infection, try not to worry. Pinworms don't cause any harm (just itching), and it won't take long to get rid of them. And people who have pinworms aren't dirty â kids can get pinworms no matter how often they take a bath.


List of Foods High in Sulfur
Eggs. Eggs are not only a rich source of protein, they're high in sulfur, with the white, or albumen, containing the majority. Each egg yolk contains 0.016 milligram of sulfur, and the white contains 0.195 milligram, according to B. Srilakshmi, author of Food Science..Egg yolks contain dietary cholesterol, however, which has been linked to increased blood cholesterol levels.rotein Foods. Protein-rich foods, such as fish, poultry, meats, nuts and legumes, are not only essential for building and maintaining healthy skin, hair and nails, but also are good dietary sources of sulfur.

List of Foods That Contain Sulfur
Overview. Sulfur is a mineral found in the ground around volcanic craters and hot springs and occurs naturally in some plants, including grains, fruits and vegetables. Protein foods also contain sulfur, which may put vegetarians at risk for developing a sulfur deficiency.The mineral helps form muscles, hair and skin cells.ggs. The yolk portion of an egg is high in sulfur. Separating the white portion of the egg from the yolk before cooking will help reduce the sulfur content in the egg. Cooking the eggs may also help reduce the sulfur levels.

Also, some greens are high in sulfur including watercress, bok choy, Chinese cabbage, kale, mustard greens, collard greens and perhaps a few others, though not spinach. Onions and garlic are also excellent. Protein-bound sulfur is found in meats and egg yolks, providing one does not cook the egg yolk very much.This is why we recommend soft cooked eggs only so the yolks are runny. Raw eggs may be consumed, but they contain avidin, a minor toxin, and sometimes the eggs contain bacteria that are harmful.lso, some greens are high in sulfur including watercress, bok choy, Chinese cabbage, kale, mustard greens, collard greens and perhaps a few others, though not spinach.

Sulfur â A real mystery â¦
The USDA does not reference the sulfur content of foods because it is itself a component of several amino acids and vitamins, which the USDA does quantify. At least two of those amino acids  methionine and cystine  are present in both the yolk and white of the egg, so sulfur is also present in both parts.he USDA does not reference the sulfur content of foods because it is itself a component of several amino acids and vitamins, which the USDA does quantify.

How to Measure Minced Garlic
Determine how many garlic cloves are needed to cater to the specific recipe. Place a garlic clove into the garlic press and squeeze the handle to crush the clove into minced garlic. Remove the minced garlic from the basket of the garlic press and into a jar or bowl.


How Much Fresh Garlic Is in a Tablespoon?
According to the U.S. Department of Agricultureâs national nutrient database, 1 tbsp. of garlic is equal to about three cloves of fresh garlic. An easy way to remember the garlic conversion is to think of teaspoons first (there are 3 tsp. in 1 tbsp.) One clove of garlic equals about 1 tsp. The exact conversion depends on several factors, such as the size of the clove and how the garlic is prepared.


How Many Teaspoons of Minced Garlic Equals One Clove?
One clove of garlic yields about half a teaspoon of minced garlic. As a head of garlic contains an average of 10 cloves, a whole head of garlic yields about 5 teaspoons of minced garlic.


How Much Fresh Garlic Is in a Tablespoon?
You can purchase chopped garlic in jars, and garlic powder and garlic salt offer garlic flavor. The recommended conversion for garlic powder is to use 1/8 tsp. for one clove of garlic. Using this conversion, a measure of just less than 1/2 tsp. would be equal to 1 tbsp. of fresh garlic. Using weight measures is usually the most accurate way to add recipe ingredients.


How many teaspoons is a clove of garlic?
It really depends on the size of the clove. A head or bulb of garlic usually contains about 10 cloves. 1 clove = 1 teaspoon chopped garlic = 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic = 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder = 1/2 teaspoon garlic flakes = 1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic = 1/2 teaspoon garlic juice.

How to Measure Minced Garlic
Garlic is usually measured in cloves. Recipes often call for a certain amount of cloves to add to your dish while cooking. In standard cooking measurement, the amount of the minced garlic being measured depends on the size of the garlic clove. One large garlic clove makes 1 1/2 teaspoons of minced garlic. A small clove produces 1/2 a teaspoon of minced garlic. Garlic press.
