Clinical Practice and Physiology of Artificial Respiration

Artificial Respiration

lowering the arms gave still less favourable results. Howard's direct method of alternately compressing the lower chest wall by the spread hands and letting go sharply was found to cause a much larger air entry, but still below the normal; but it is conducted in the supine attitude which, in many cases, as in drowning, prevent other useful indications from being fulfilled and is sometimes subje...

Scientjfic Basis of Clinical Practice Thyroid Physiology

The thyroid develops from the endoderm in the floor of the pharynx and migrates downwards, anterior to the primitive gut. Faults in the process cause thyroglossal cyst and fistula and the presence of thyroid tissue in abnormal situations, such as the posterior part of the tongue and retrosternally. In mammals the thyroid also contains cells derived from the last branchial pouches, the parafolli...

Effects of Integrating Physiology Lessons to Clinical and Para-Clinical Findings on Medical Students' Attitude and Motivation toward Physiology Lesson

Introduction: Applicability of theoretical material in basic sciences courses of medicine discipline plays an important role in enhancing students' motivation and interest to the lessons. This study aimed to assess the effects of integrating physiology lessons to clinical and para-clinical findings on students' attitude and motivation toward physiology lesson. Methods: This pre-experimental s...

Artificial neural networks: applications in pain physiology

Artificial neural networks (ANNs) are intelligent systems that have successfully been used for prediction in different medical fields. In this study, the capability of ANN in predicting body behavior in pain-producing situations is evaluated. A three-layer back-propagation ANN is designed using MATLAB software. The inputs include the magnitude of stimulation in pain fibers, touch fibers and cen...
