Two tests are commonly used to screen for prostate cancerâ. 1  Digital rectal exam (DRE): A doctor or nurse inserts a gloved, lubricated finger into the rectum to estimate the size of the prostate and feel for lumps or other abnormalities. 2  Prostate specific antigen (PSA) test: Measures the level of PSA in the blood. PSA is a substance made by the prostate. The levels of PSA in the blood can be higher in men who have prostate cancer. The PSA level may also be elevated in other conditions that affect the prostate. As a rule, the higher the PSA level in the blood, the more likely a prostate problem is present. But many factors, such as age and race, can affect PSA levels.

Diagnostic heart tests
Diagnostic Heart Tests. Blood Tests: Blood tests play an important role in confirming â or ruling out â heart conditions such as coronary artery disease and heart failure. Blood tests can measure these and other biomarkers: B-type natriuretic peptides (BNP) produced by the heart to help the body eliminate fluids from the body. High levels of BNP can signal damage to the heart muscle and heart failure. Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) tests for elevated levels of urea nitrogen, a sign of kidney failure. BUN is often tested when heart failure is suspected. C-reactive protein produced by the liver in response to injury (inflammatory disease).

Lumbar Radiculopathy
This can cause the numbness, tingling, pain, and weakness. How is Lumbar Radiculopathy diagnosed? After the initial examination, the diagnosis of lumbar radiculopathy can be supported by electrodiagnosis, MRI, CT scans, and/or contrast myelography. Treatment of lumbar radiculopathy will vary depending on the actual cause of the radiculopathy. These treatments can include the use of back supports, medication, physical therapy, steroid injection in the spine, and even surgery.


Nerve Impingement (Radiculopathy)
Radiculopathy originates in the nerves along the spine in the back or the neck. Symptoms, however, are experienced in the shoulder, arm, wrist, hand and fingers (cervical), in the chest or abdomen (thoracic) or in the legs or buttocks (lumbar).


When Is a Muscle Twitch Cause for Concern?
But experts say that doesn't mean doctors should dismiss patients' concerns, either. Rather, Kim notes, less commonly muscle twitching can, in fact, be a symptom of an underlying neurological issue like a pinched spinal nerve called radiculopathy. Kwan adds that patients should take notice if theyâre experiencing other associated symptoms in addition to muscle twitching, such as muscle atrophy, or the muscle getting smaller; numbness; weakness; or loss of muscle function.

What is a universal blood donor?
Blood group AB is very rare and although AB blood types are able to receive any type of blood they are not able to donate blood to persons that are not blood group AB. Type O negative blood is considered the universal blood type. People with type O negative blood are called universal donors because type O negative blood is compatible to any blood recipientâs type. Ideally the donorâs blood types should always be an exact match to the recipientâs blood type. Universal donors should only be used in the case of medical emergency where there is an unavailability or shortage of the patientâs blood type or when a blood transfusion needs to be performed immediately, not allowing the time to cross type the blood ...


Why is blood type AB considered the universal recipient?
Type AB is considered the universal recipient, as they have both A and B antigens on their red blood cells, and thus their body does not have antibodies against A or B antigen cells, so they can receive blood from any blood type.


What is a universal blood donor?
People with type AB blood are considered universal blood recipients. The reason is that AB blood types do not contain natural antibodies against the ABO blood groups and this avoids incompatibility reactions when a person who is blood group AB receives blood from a donor who has another ABO blood group.

Why is blood type AB considered the universal recipient?
A person with type AB blood can (usually) safely receive transfusions from people of type AB, A, B, or O. Properly, universal recipient is AB+, since for them it doesnât matter if the donor is Rh positive or negative.


Why is blood type AB considered the universal recipient?
(Conversely, Type O is considered the universal donor, as they have no antigens at all on their red blood cells, and will thus trigger no immune response in the recipient). 708 Views Â· View Upvoters Barry Gehm, Asst. Prof.


What is a universal blood donor?
Type O negative blood is considered the universal blood type. People with type O negative blood are called universal donors because type O negative blood is compatible to any blood recipientâs type.

Universal donors should only be used in the case of medical emergency where there is an unavailability or shortage of the patientâs blood type or when a blood transfusion needs to be performed immediately, not allowing the time to cross type the blood compatibility.


Blood types: Why is Type O the universal donor and AB is the universal recipient?
Best Answer: Its all about the antigens on a cell. There are two types of antigens that a blood cell can have A and B. Thats why there are multiple types of blood. Type O blood contains no antigens(think of it as a blank slate), and can be used by anyone with any type of blood, making it the universal donor. If you have A blood, you can only receive A type blood or O because a the body only accepts blood that has the A antigen and rejects the B antigen. And vice versa for B type blood.


Why is blood type AB considered the universal recipient?
A blood reaction takes place when a recipientâs plasma reacts to the donated red blood cells. Since an AB patient doesnât have any antibodies in the plasma, it can receive any type of blood, and hence is a universal recipient. Type O, without any antigens on itâs red cells, is a universal donor. This is simplified.


Blood types: Why is Type O the universal donor and AB is the universal recipient?
Type AB blood contains blood cells with both A and B antigens, So it can receive type O, A, B, and AB blood, making it the universal recipient. Source(s): Biology major student WaterSnowandAgirculture Â· 7 years ago


How the Heart and Blood Vessels Work
Arteries are blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart. Because they are under high pressure, arteries have strong elastic walls. The largest artery from the heart is called the aorta. This artery branches into smaller and smaller vessels before finally reaching the tiny capillaries where oxygen and nutrients are delivered to organs and tissues. The other main artery from the heart goes to the lungs where its blood picks up oxygen. Veins are the blood vessels that carry blood back ...


Pulmonary Embolism
When blood clots in a vein, it may be due to the slowed blood flow, an abnormality in clot forming, or from an injury to the blood vessel wall. Blood clots can form in arteries and veins. Clots formed in veins are called venous clots.


The Heart and Blood Vessels
How do the heart and blood vessels work? The heart works by following a sequence of electrical signals that cause the muscles in each chamber to contract in a certain order. If these electrical signals change, the heart may not pump as well as it should. The sequence of each heartbeat is as follows:


Atrial Septal Defect (ASD)
The right side of the heart pumps blood to the lungs to pick up oxygen. The left side of the heart receives the oxygen-rich blood from the lungs and pumps it to the body. The heart has four chambers and four valves and is connected to various blood vessels. Veins are blood vessels that carry blood from the body to the heart. Arteries are blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart to the body.

These are the arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle, and it is these arteries that can become blocked with plaque and lead to a heart attack. As we continue to move away from the heart, we encounter the next section, called the aortic arch.


How the Heart and Blood Vessels Work
The blood returns to the right side of the heart, which then pumps it back to the lungs. To work properly, the heart needs precise electrical timing of each beat, proper opening and closing of the valves, and plenty of energy from its own blood supply (called the coronary blood vessels).

Circle of latitude
It divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere. Of the parallels or circles of latitude, it is the longest, and the only 'great circle' (a circle on the surface of the Earth, centered on Earth's center). All the other parallels are smaller and centered only on Earth's axis.


Growth Plate Injuries
Injuries to the growth plate happen when a break or fracture occurs near or at the end of a long bone. Growth plate injuries happen to children and teens. Most growth place injuries occur after a sudden accident, such as falling or having a hard hit to the limb. Doctorâs test for growth plate injuries by asking about the injury, examining your child, and ordering x-rays. Treatment may include using a cast or splint, setting the bones back in place, exercises, and long-term follow up. Most growth plate injuries get better and do not cause any lasting problems for your child or teen.


Workplace Injuries: Top 10 Body Parts Injured In Healthcare And Community Services
Any guess as to the top 10 body parts injured in Healthcare and Community Services workplaces? If you were to ask anyone in these sectors what is the number one body part injured, most would get it right. Backs are the number one body part injured in all six groups (Hospitals, Special Care Homes, Nursing Homes, Ambulance Services, Homecare and Family & Social Services) within our sector. We have developed a chart of the âTop 10 Body Parts Injuredâ for each of the six groups that


Ultrasound scan
A special type of ultrasound scan, called a Doppler ultrasound, is used to detect the speed and direction of blood flow in certain regions of the body, for example, neck arteries and leg veins. Medical issues and ultrasound scans Some ultrasound examinations require special preparation beforehand, such as:


Hands and fingers are the most-often injured body parts
The National Electronic Injury Surveillance System reports that the fingers and hand are the most frequent body parts injured at work and treated in hospital emergency departments. This study examined the type, location, and severity of occupational hand injuries among 1,166 patients recruited from 23 occupational health clinics in five New England states.


Ultrasound Technician Career: Overuse Injuries are Avoidable
Sonography students and working professionals should also follow a regular exercise program to maintain good health and strengthen the parts of the body most subject to overuse injuries. It is always important to pay attention to the body as well as the mind when building an ultrasound technician career.


Perineal Injury in Males
Points to Remember. 1  Perineal injury is an injury to the perineum, the part of the body between the anus and the genitals, or sex organs. 2  Injury to the blood vessels, nerves, and muscles in the perineum can lead to complications such as bladder control problems. 3  Common causes of acute perineal injury in males include perineal surgery.


pH MIRACLE FULL BODY MEDICAL DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING
Medical Diagnostic Ultrasound. Medical Diagnostic Ultrasound Imaging, also called ultrasound scanning or sonography, is a method of obtaining images from inside the human body through the use of high-frequency sound waves.

Aiding in mammal body temperature control is their insulating hair and sweat glands. Sweating helps to dissipate heat by evaporative cooling. Compared to most other land mammals, humans are relatively hairless, but they have far more sweat glands. Mammals have four chambered hearts (like birds), complex nervous systems, and large brains relative to the size of their bodies. This broad range of useful features has made mammals highly adaptive and successful.

Nitrile rubber
Nitrile rubber, also known as Buna-N, Perbunan, acrylonitrile butadiene rubber, and NBR, is a synthetic rubber copolymer of acrylonitrile (ACN) and butadiene.Trade names include Nipol, Krynac and Europrene.Nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) is a family of unsaturated copolymers of 2-propenenitrile and various butadiene monomers (1,2-butadiene and 1,3-butadiene).he process for the production of cold NBR is very similar to that of hot NBR. Polymerization tanks are heated to 5â15 Â°C instead of 30â40 Â°C. Under lower temperature conditions, less branching will form on polymers (the amount of branching distinguishes cold NBR from hot NBR).

Bell's Palsy: What Is It And Who Does It Affect?
Other symptoms of Bell's palsy reflect the other roles of the facial nerve. One of its branches supplies part of the tongue, so patients with Bell's palsy may experience an altered sensation of taste one side of the tongue.


Bell's Palsy
Bell's palsy is named for Sir Charles Bell, a 19th century Scottish surgeon who described the facial nerve and its connection to the condition. The disorder, which is not related to stroke, is the most common cause of facial paralysis. Generally, Bell's palsy affects only one of the paired facial nerves and one side of the face, however, in rare cases, it can affect both sides. top What are the symptoms?


Alone we are rare. Together we are strong.â¥ Donate Today
In severe cases of Bellâs palsy, the facial muscles on the affected side are completely paralyzed, causing that side of the face to become smooth, expressionless, and immobile. Often the opening between the upper and lower eyelids (palpebral fissure) is enlarged and remains open during sleep.


Top 30 Doctor insights on: Long Term Side Effects Of Bell's Palsy
Long term side effects of bell s palsy - What are some side effects of bell's palsy? Can not blink. The worst side effect is the inability to close the eye to protect the cornea. The cornea can dry out and get scratched, especially at night when you sleep with eye open. Tape the eye lid closed with scotch tape, particularly when you sleep.


Bell's Palsy
The facial nerve also carries nerve impulses to the: 1  Lacrimal (tear) glands. 2  Saliva glands. 3  Muscles of a small bone in the middle of the ear, called the stapes.


-
Other conditions that may cause Bell's palsy include: 1  HIV infection. 2  Lyme disease. 3  Middle ear infection. 4  Sarcoidosis.


-
Of course, this doesn't mean that everyone who has a viral infection or Lyme disease will get Bell's palsy â most people don't. Bell's palsy usually affects adults, but it can sometimes happen to kids or teens. Pregnant women and people with diabetes are more likely to develop Bell's palsy. What Are the Signs? Bell's palsy usually shows up about 1 to 2 weeks after a viral infection. It tends to come on quickly and often reaches its worst point within 48 hours.


Bell's Palsy
However, most people affected by Bell 's palsy will recover over a period of time. In some studies, facial function is completely restored in about 70 percent of Bell 's palsy patients with complete paralysis within six months, and as high as 94 percent of patients with partial paralysis.


What Causes Decreased Muscle Function?

How Do Squids Squirt Ink?
This ability is possible through the use of the squid's ink sacs and water propulsion. Biological Ink Well Cephalopods that squirt ink have a muscular bag in their bodies located underneath the gut and connected to the anus. This modified gland is called an ink sac, and contains mostly pure melanin-- the same pigment that colors our skin -- mixed with tyrosinase, an enzyme that impairs the senses of smell and taste. The ink also contains trace elements of dopamine and L-DOPA. These neurotransmitters may possibly warn other cephalopods about the threat of enemies.


Squid
The giant axon, which may be up to 1 mm (0.04 in) in diameter in some larger species, innervates the mantle and controls part of the jet propulsion system. As cephalopods, squid exhibit relatively high intelligence among invertebrates.

A precondition for the presence of the arm hooks and ink sac together with the shell is the burial of complete individuals including their soft parts. As the pro-ostracum was covered by the mantle, with the soft body underneath, the latter might have been âgluedâ to the pro-ostracum by diagenetic compaction.

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Online Medical Reference - covering Definition through Treatment. Co-authored by Bridget Wright, Swati Bharadwaj and Abby Abelson of the Cleveland Clinic. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a prototypic autoimmune disease that has a broad range of clinical manifestations. In SLE, tissue damage in multiple organs is caused by autoantibodies and immune complexes.


Autoimmunity and CP/CPPS
It is accepted now that the tendency to develop autoimmune reactions can run in families. Anecdotally, many men with CPPS have fathers with the disease or family members with other autoimmune diseases. Jordan Dimitrakov, a prostatitis and IC researcher, studied a number of twins who both had pelvic pain conditions. This may suggest autoimmunity. Genetic predisposition has been demonstrated in mice too.

Lupus
Research has found that interstitial cystitis (IC) patients are 30 times more likely than the general population to have systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). As with IC, the cause of lupus is not known. It is more common in women and prevalence is greater among African-American, Hispanic, Asian and Native American women. Lupus is an immune system attack on healthy cells resulting in joint pain or swelling, muscle pain, fever with no known cause and the red âbutterfly rashâ on the face. It can damage joints, skin, blood vessels and organs. There are several forms of lupus. The most common form is systemic lupus erythematosus, which affects many parts of the body. Discoid lupus causes a rash that doesnât go away. Subacute cutaneous lupus causes sores after exposure to sunlight. Another type of lupus is caused by certain medicines. There is no one test to diagnose lupus, and it may take months or years to make the diagnosis. There is no cure for lupus, but medicines and lifestyle changes can help to control the symptoms.

The Scientific Processes During Perming & Relaxing
The Scientific Processes During Perming & Relaxing As we know, the hair is made up of protein chains held together by series of physical and chemical bonds which give the hair its shape and strength. The bonds we are most concerned with in styling the hair are the side bonds. Side bonds are found in two forms â physical side bonds and chemical side bonds. Breaking and reforming these side bonds allow us to rearrange the wave pattern of the hair. Physical side bonds can be broken using heat and water and reform when the hair dries and/or cools. However, this article is about perming and relaxing and the scientific processes that occur. When the hair is permed (and sometimes when straightened) the disulfide bonds (the chemical side bonds) of the hair are broken through a chemical reaction called âreductionâ. A reduction reaction involves either the removal of oxygen or the addition of hydrogen. In the case of permanent waving, the reduction is due to the addition of hydrogen.

Beware Of Pension Obligation Bonds
These three little lettersâPOBâcan be a pox on your portfolio if you own them or were pressured into buying them. Pension Obligation Bonds do not belong in your portfolio. The reasons are simple. These taxable municipal bonds are issued by state or local governments for payment of obligation to their employee pension fund.

Where Do Pension Funds Typically Invest?
The funds' managers prudently manage assets in a method meant to ensure that retirees receive promised benefits. For many years this meant that funds were limited to investing primarily in government securities, investment-grade bonds, and a small amount placed in blue-chip stocks. Changing market conditions and the need to maintain a high rate of return have resulted in pension plan rules that allow investments in most asset classes.

ATLANTIC OCEAN BASIN Description of the Basin The Atlantic Ocean Basin covers an area of about 914 square miles of New Yorkâs statutory ocean territory. The basin only includes the marine portions of the coastal waters; other tidal and estuarine waters of the state are included in the


Ocean Basins
Atlantic Ocean Basin The Atlantic Ocean is the second largest of Earth's five oceans, the most heavily traveled, and the most intensely studied, principally because of its importance in ship traffic between Europe and North America. This ocean's name is derived from Atlas, one of the Titans of Greek mythology.


Ocean Basins: Definition, Formation, Features & Types
Ocean Basin Types and Formation. Ocean basins can be either active, with a lot of new structures being created and shaped, or they can be inactive, where their surface is slow to change and does little more than collect sediment. The Gulf of Mexico is an example of an inactive ocean basin where the main change that happens is the slow depositing of sand and sediment. Active ocean basins undergo change mainly due to plate tectonics. Plate tectonics is the theory used to explain the dynamics of the earth's surface resulting from the interaction of the overlying rigid plates with the underlying mantle.


Development of tectonic theory
Assorted References. 1  geologic history of Australia (in Australia: Chronological summary) 2  hydrologic studies (in hydrologic sciences: The origin of the ocean basins) 3  Jurassic Period (in Jurassic Period: North America) 4  origin of continental drift (in plate tectonics: Gestation and birth of plate-tectonic theory)


Divergent Plate Boundaries
Visit the Interactive Plate Boundary Map to explore satellite images of divergent boundaries between oceanic plates. Two locations are marked: 1) the Mid-Atlantic Ridge exposed above sea level on the island of Iceland, and 2) the Mid-Atlantic Ridge between North America and Africa.


-
Oceanic ridges (Figure 3-1) - volcanic in origin - form mountain chains that extend throughout of. the world ocean basins. The oceanic ridge crest is formed by a pair of the highest peaks that. bracket the narrow rift valley that marks the axis of the ocean ridge (Figure 3-1).


Chapter 2 & 13: Plate Tectonics & Divergent Boundaries
a linear zone along which continental lithosphere stretches and pulls apart. Its creation may mark the beginning of a new ocean basin. An example of this can be seen in this image - Iceland!!

transform. Boundary type is based on the way the plates move compared to one another. Di#erent landforms result from di#erent boundary types. Di#erent sets of events, such as earthquakes, tsunamis or volcanic eruptions can happen at each boundary. What the plate is made of also matters. The plate could be made of denser, ocean basin rock. Or the plate could be made of less dense, continental rock. Both direction of movement and type of plates control what happens at a boundary. Divergent boundaries occur when two plates pull away from each other. This makes a tear in the lithosphere. Earth scientists call this kind of tear a rift.


FDSCI 201 Natural Disasters Lesson 1 Lab B
Compare the depth of water over the ridge with the depth of the water in other parts of the ocean basin. Where is the water deeper?


Divergent boundaries
Plate-Boundary Zones. Not all plate boundaries are as simple as the main types discussed above. In some regions, the boundaries are not well defined because the plate-movement and deformation occurs over a broad belt (called a plate-boundary zone).

The most common destination in the brain for pain signals is the thalamus and from there to the cortex, the headquarters for complex thoughts. The thalamus also serves as the brain's storage area for images of the body and plays a key role in relaying messages between the brain and various parts of the body.


What causes depression?
The key brain regions involved in the stress response may be altered at the chemical or cellular level. Changes might include fluctuations in the concentration of neurotransmitters or damage to nerve cells.


Brain Chemical May Help Control Tourette 'Tics'
THURSDAY, Sept. 25, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- A particular brain chemical may help people with Tourette syndrome suppress the disorder's characteristic tics, scientists report. They hope their discovery paves the way to new therapies for the developmental neurological disorder.

Pain is pain and it is a chemical/electrical response to a stressful stimuli. We can understand if we have a continual physical stress which creates pain, E.G. we stub that damn toe each and every day, then we will suffer irrepairable damage and continued physical damage. We would end up with a cancerous toe, foot etc.


Neurotransmitter
Neurotransmitters, also known as chemical messengers, are endogenous chemicals that enable neurotransmission. They transmit signals across a chemical synapse, such as a neuromuscular junction, from one neuron (nerve cell) to another target neuron, muscle cell, or gland cell. Neurotransmitters are released from synaptic vesicles in synapses into the synaptic cleft, where they are received by receptors on the target cells.

Impaired Sleep Linked to Lower Pain Tolerance. 1  Apr. 30, 2015 â People with insomnia and other sleep problems have increased sensitivity to pain, reports a new study. 2  Feb. 5, 2015 â A new study finds that acute psychosocial stress has a dramatically deleterious effect on the body's ability to modulate pain.


What chemicals are being released in our brain that cause us to feel hurt?
3. The structural level. This is the larger scale of brain anatomy such as hippocampus, frontal cortex, etc. And of course, there are many levels in between these, but those are the key levels of brain organization. We neuroscientists think of the brain in terms of a giant network of networks, an internal internet (intranet) of sorts.

Serotonin is a chemical that helps maintain a happy feeling, and seems to help keep our moods under control by helping with sleep, calming anxiety, and relieving depression. The brain also makes Dopamine, which makes people more talkative and excitable.


What structure acts as a relay station for all senses except smell??
Answers. The structure that acts as a relays station for all senses except smell is the thalamus. It is located above the hypothalamus, and below the cerebral cortex and it gathers sensory information of all kind.


Parts of Central Nervous System
Brain and spinal cord are surrounded by membranes called the meninges. There are three layers - outermost dura mater, middle arachnoid and the inner pia mater. The space between the arachnoid and pia mater is filled with the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). It acts as a shock absorber. An infection of the meninges is called meningitis.

Explanation of Neurotransmitters
More research is required to figure this all out, but given the close association between appetite and sleep regulation, it would not be surprising if MCH plays a part in sleep. Arousal and Sedation. Acetylcholine, dopamine, glutamate, histamine, norepinephrine, orexin, and serotonin are all active in promoting wakefulness. Some neurons (brain cells) specialize in releasing certain neurotransmitters and scientists have found the firing rates of those neurons can vary with wakefulness and sleep.


Explanation of Neurotransmitters
Animal models of Parkinsonâs disease and schizophrenia have found that dopamine plays an important role in regulating sleep. Mice altered to have high dopamine levels in their brains are more sensitive than normal to caffeine and modafinil and have a stronger recovery reaction to sleep deprivation: following prolonged wakefulness they have move slow-wave sleep and total sleep than other mice.
