Zasadniczo technika ta sklada sie z trzech podstawowych krokow. Po pierwsze generowanie w obszarze zainteresowania fal sprezystych o czestotliwości w zakresie 50-5000 Hz. Nastepnie pozyskiwanie obrazow rezonansu magnetycznego, ktore przedstawiają rozchodzenie sie wyindukowanych fal sprezystych. Ostatecznie przetwarzanie obrazow szerzenia sie fal sprezystych na ilościowe mapy sztywności tkanek zwane elastogramami. MRE umozliwia wykrywanie i stopniowanie przewle-klego wloknienia wątroby.

It is a symptom of disorder not the essence of the disease. It is usually the result of disorders of the vestibular system, and can be caused by damage to the labyrinth (vertigo) or its innervation (dizziness). Dizziness deals with two areas of medicine - otolaryngology and neurology. Borderland  of these specialties is neurotology, which has been recently considered as a separate specialty. However, it is difficult to diagnose and treat the causes of dizziness and often beyond the otolaryngologist and neurologist  close cooperation of other professionals such as: a cardiologist, ophthalmologist, radiologist, orthopedist, and even a psychiatrist is required. Dizziness is a hardly perceptible symptom and usually very difficult to diagnose. In older persons dizziness occurs due to many different reasons of central, peripheral or psychiatric nature as well as on a background of variety of systemic diseases. Best pharmacological treatment should be started after the appropriate diagnostics and after proper diagnosis. If the cause of dizziness is vestibular system, customized exercise can have a very beneficial effect on the recovery of functional capacity.","PeriodicalId":18339,"journal":{"name":"Medical and Biological Sciences","volume":"40 1","pages":"37-42"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76091464","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The medicoal samples were sourced for this study from Nigerian plants, namely; Mangifera indica (Mangoe tree), Psidium guajara (Guava tree) and Persea gratissima (Avocado tree). Samples were prepared by carbonization and thermal activation prior to characterization evidence such as percentage of carbonized residues, ash values, fixed carbon contents, pH of aqueous solution, and limits of heavy metal presence. Liquid phase study was conducted by adoption of Freundlich adsorption model. Following this, data were generated for adsorption profile of methylene Blue (MB) on the various samples of activated charcoal inclusive of the commercial grade (standard). Ultra violet spectroscopy was used to measure the respective adsorption capacities. The results were statistically significant using a one-tail (ANOVA) at confidence level of P < 0.05. Persea gratissima ranked the highest in performance out of the three test samples with MB adsorption (9.95 mg/g) and compared favourably with the standard (9.96mg/g). Psidium guajava exhibited the least performance (1.04mg/g). All samples showed desirable aqueous pH of range (6-8). The research has shown that low cost and easily accessible, locally sourced activated charcoal is a recommendable alternative to the commercially available products.","PeriodicalId":18339,"journal":{"name":"Medical and Biological Sciences","volume":"95 1","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81837996","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The incidence of Concrescence teeth is reported to be highest in the posterior maxilla. It often involves a second molar with roots in near proximity to those of a third molar. It is more common on maxillary third and second molars and may be inadvertently diagnosed during a tooth extraction. Although the exact etiology of concrescence has not yet been explained, it is usually suspected that space restriction during development, local trauma, excessive occlusal force or local infection after development play an important role. Unexpected complications arising from the concrescence may lead to legal issues. Case Report: Extracting right maxillary second molar in a 33-year-old female patient with a chief complaint of toothache in a right maxillary second molar. It became evident that the second and third molars were attached between the roots. So both teeth were extracted a traumatically and healing was uneventful. Conclusion: In fact, concrescence is not common anomaly, so the clinician should always consider it, especially in the case of maxillary molars, and the patient should be informed about its complications. A small fused area may be separated during the extraction. But a broader connected area (like in this case) may lead to the extraction of both involved teeth.","PeriodicalId":18339,"journal":{"name":"Medical and Biological Sciences","volume":"11 1","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78859467","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Heavy smoking lead to loss appetite for person. Cigarette smoking is highly prevalent among men. Many studies have evaluated the effect of cigarette smoking on levels of male reproductive hormones; however, the findings still remain controversial. The main objective was to study the effect of cigarette smoking on total testosterone hormone in male. Eighty blood samples (80) were collected from apparently healthy Sudanese individuals. Group one (40 males) was represented smoker group, age with 18 -50 year, duration of smoking ranged from 5 – 25 years and average number of cigarette day is 17.18± 13.1. While other 40 individual are non smoker (Control), all volunteers were recruited from Khartoum city, Sudan. Four ml of venous blood were collected from each volunteer serum, Total testosterone were measured using (E L I SA) full automated hormone analyzer. The results were indicated that total testosterone levels among the smoker (M ±SD 3.6 ± 3.6) were significantly low compared with control group (M ± SD 5.2 ± 2.3). In addition, it is not effect by age and BMI (Body Mass Index), but it is effect by number of cigarette day.","PeriodicalId":18339,"journal":{"name":"Medical and Biological Sciences","volume":"126 1","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87821254","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
