Meningitis

It is the inflammation of the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord, known collectively as the meninges

Layers of meninges

• pia matter (inner layer)
• arachnoid (middle layer)
• subarachnoid space (outer layer)

Parkinson's disease/ Parkinsonism

It is a degenerative disorder of the basal ganlia function that result in variable combinations of tremor, rigidity and bradykinesia. The disorder is characterized by progressive destruction of the nigrostiatal pathway,with subsequent reduction in striatal concentrations of dopamine.

Frameset Element

The frameset element is used to create a collection of frames that divides your web browser's window into multiple panes. Each frame inside the frameset element ca have different document that makes it easier for users to view different kind of contents in one frame while the other frames remain on their current state.

Congestive Heart Failure (CHF)

Congestive heart failure(CHF) is a common condition that develops after the heart becomes damaged or weakened by diseases of the heart including heart attacks and other medical conditions.In CHF the heart is unable to adequately pump blood throughout the body and/or unable to prevent blood from "backing up" into the lungs.

Caption Element

The caption element is used to provide a title to a table. Ta caption element is recommended to be placed after the table element. This caption element can either appear above or below the table. It does not go inside a table row, table data or table header element.

Preparing for Pregnancy

 Before a women becomes pregnant, it's important for her to prepare for the many changes her body will experience. Sometimes, a pregnancy is a surprise, so a woman cannot prepare for it. However, when it is possible, think about and make plans for how you will take care of your self during this wondrous time. Preparing for a pregnancy allows you to make changes before you get pregnant so your baby gets a healthy start in life. To that end, many physicians and other health care workers now consider pregnancy a 12-month term.

The actual length of a pregnancy (growth from a fertilized egg into a normal-size baby) is only 9 months. but we now know that the few months before you get pregnant can be as important as the 9 months the fetus develops inside of you.

Table Header Element

The table header element is used to create a row header within the table element. Mostly, web browsers display the content of the table header element in a boldfaced font and centered within a table cell. The table header element defines a header cell in a table. Table header elements are contained within a table row element, which may also contain table data elements for data cells.

Table Data Element

The table data element is used to create a cell within a row in a table element. You can put any content on each cell, such as text, images, links and even insert a new table. The table data element defines a data cell in a table. Table data elements are contained within a table row element , which may also contain table header elements for header cells.

Table Row Element

The table row element is used to create a row within the table element. Tables read the information by rows, row by row. So, there is a table row element that starts a row in the table. The table row element is used for specifying a table row within a table. A table row contains one or more table data and/or table header element which determine individual cells.

Sprains

A sprain, which involves the ligamentous structures (strong bands of connected tissue) surrounding the joint, resembles a strain, but the pain and swelling subside more slowly. It usually is caused by abnormal or excessive movement of the joint. With a sprain, the ligaments may be incompletely torn or, as in a sever sprain, completely torn or ruptured. The signs of sprain are pain, rapid swelling, heat, disability, discoloration,

Table Element

The table element is used to create the beginning and end of the table. Tables used to be the most flexible layout systems available to web-designers, until we were gifted with the expanded possibilities of CSS layout. A simple HTML table consists of the table element and one or more table row, table header, and table data elements.

Strains

A strain is a stretching injury to a muscle or a musculotendinous unit caused by mechanical overloading. This type of injury may result from an unusual muscle contraction or an excessive forcible stretch. Although there usually is no external evidence of a specific injury, pain, stiffness, and swelling exist. The most common sites for muscle strains are the lower back and the cervical region of the spine. The elbow and the shoulder are also supported by musculotendinous units that are subject to strains. Foot strain is associated with the weight-bearing stresses of the feet; it may be caused by inadequate muscular and ligamentous support, over weight, or excessive exercise such as standing, walking, or running.

Teletype Element

The teletype element is used to display text in a mono-space typeface font. The teletype element has a distinct advantage over the Preformatted Element (that many people use to get mono-spaced fonts), because it doesn't affect the formatting of the text. Most font style tags are rendered by the browser in a specific style. But it’s recommended that you use CSS if you need to style text in that form. The teletype element is good to use in a question and answer type document.

Teacher's Stress

What is stress?
 -It's the body's way of rising to a challenge and preparing to meet a tough situation with focus, strength, stamina, and heightened alertness.

Work-related stress is the result of a conflict between the role and needs of an individual employee and the demands of the workplace.
Teachers are increasingly perceived as facilitators or managers of knowledge.
Teaching has been identified as one of the most stressful professions today.

Causes of Stress for Teachers:

• Pressure on professional skills
• The school as a stressful workplace (Excessive working hours and Excessive workload)
• Poor management(Lack of control over the job)
• Student misbehavior
• Difficult parent/teacher relations
• Social and personal pressures
• inadequate compensation

Quotation Element

The quotation element is used to display short and inline quotations. The text inside the quotation element are started with double quotes. The quotation element is used to define quotations in the middle of paragraphs to make it easy to determine the shortened phrase or words. The quotation element is supported by Mozilla Fire Fox and Opera web browser only.

Athletic Injuries

Athletic injuries are either acute injuries or overuse injuries. Acute injuries are caused by sudden trauma and include injuries to soft tissues (contussion, strains, and sprains) and to bone (fractures). Overuse injuries have been described as chronic injuries, including stress fractures that result from constant high levels of physiologic stress without sufficient recovery time. They commonly occur in the elbow ("Little League elbow" or "tennis elbow") and in tissue where tendons attached to the bone, such as the heel, knee, and shoulder. Contact

Generalized-Onset Seizures and Unclassified Seizures

Generalized-onset seizures are the most common type in young children. These seizures are classified as primary or generalized when clinical signs, symptoms, and supporting EEG changes indicate involvement of both hemispheres at onset. The clinical symptoms include unconsciousness and involve varying bilateral degrees of symmetric motor responses without evidence of localization to one hemisphere.

Definition List Element

The definition list element is used to create a list of terms paired with the description of each term. A better way to think of definition lists is as a name/value pair. Any time you have a list of items where you want one item matched with one or more other items, you should use a definition list. In this way it is a lot more easy than unordered list element or the ordered list element.

Partial Seizures

Partial or focal seizures are the most common type of seizures among newly diagnosed cases in all groups older than 10 years of age. Partial seizures can be subdivided into three major groups: simple partial (consciousness is not impaired), complex partial (impairment of consciousness), and secondarily generalized partial seizures. These categories are based primarily on current neurophysiologic theories related to seizure propagation and the extent of involvement of the brains hemispheres.

List Item Element

The list item element is used to create an item for unordered and ordered list. The list item element can contain text or other elements. The list item element can even add more unordered and ordered list inside it.

Listed below are the most common attributes you can use for the list item element:

• class - provides the class or classes of the heading. This attribute is used to identify the name of the style class or classes to be used for rendering.
• id - provides a unique name for the heading.
• lang - provides the language in which the enclosed content is coded.
• style - provides a cascading style sheet (CSS) properties to the heading.
• title - privides a text title for the heading. Most web browser displays the value of the title as "tooltip".

Ordered List Element

The ordered list element is used to create a list of items in an orderly manner in which items are read and followed in a specific sequence. A list of instructions or procedures and table of contents are some good examples that the ordered list element makes it easy for you to handle. Each item is displayed with a number.

Seizures

Seizures are paroxysmal motor, sensory, or cognitive manifestations of spontaneous, abnormally synchronous electrical discharges from collections of neurons in the cerebral cortex. Seizures are thought to result directly or indirectly from changes in excitability of single neurons or groups of neurons.

The site of seizures generation and the extent to which the abnormal neural activity is conducted to other areas of the brain determine the type and manifestations of the seizures activity.

Partial seizures originate in a small group of neurons in one hemisphere with secondary spread of seizures activity to other parts of the brain. Simple partial seizures usually are confined to one hemisphere and do not involve loss of consciousness. Complex partial seizures begin in a localized area, spread to both hemispheres, and involve impairment of consciousness.

Unordered List Element

The unordered list element is used to create a list of items wherein the order of the item is not important. The unordered list element is useful in a shopping list, list of features of a product or list of ingredients. Each item is displayed with a bullet.

Anchor Element

The anchor element is used to insert a hyperlink that is capable of connecting multiple documents. When anchor element is selected or clicked, the web browser navigates to a different destination in which to where the anchor element is pointing. you may direct the anchor element to other documents, images and even other sections within your document.

The anchor element can also contain images other than text that is displayed on your web browser. Mostly, web browser displays the text in an underlined font style.

Cerebrovascular Accident (CVA) or Stroke

Cerebrovascular accident (CVA) is also referred to as a stroke.
The brain requires a steady supply of oxygen in order to pump blood effectively to all of the body.
The sudden death of some brain cells due to lack of oxygen when the blood flow to the brain is impaired by blockage or rupture of an artery to the brain. A stroke is a condition where a blood clot or ruptured artery or blood vessel interrupts blood flow to an area of the brain.

 

Dementia

Dementia is a permanent decline in cognitive function and memory from a previous level of function. Dementia is a brain disorder with permanent loss of memory or other higher cognitive function.. Dementia can either be progressive, such as in Alzheimer's disease, or may remain stable, as can be seen after a stroke or head injury.

symptoms of dementia

• Memory loss
• The patient may become more and more moody
• The affected person finds it harder to talk read and/or write.

The Strong Element

The Strong Element is used to give strong emphasis to text. The strong element displays its text as a boldfaced font.

Listed below are the most common attributes you can use for the strong element:

• class - provides the class or classes of the heading. This attribute is used to identify the name of the style class or classes to be used for rendering.
• id - provides a unique name for the heading.
• lang - provides the language in which the enclosed content is coded.
• style - provides a cascading style sheet (CSS) properties to the heading.
• title - privides a text title for the heading. Most web browser displays the value of the title as "tooltip".

Alzheimer's Disease

Alzheimer’s disease is a neurological brain disorder named after a German physician, Alois Alzheimer, who first described it in 1906.

Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia among older people. Dementia is a brain disorder that seriously affects a person's ability to carry out daily activities. (Dementia literally means loss of mentation, or thinking.)

 Alzheimer’s is progressive and irreversible. Abnormal changes in the brain worsen over time, eventually interfering with many aspects of brain function. Alzheimer's disease begins slowly. It first involves the parts of the brain that control thought, memory and language. People with Alzheimer's disease may have trouble remembering things that happened recently or names of people they know. Over time, symptoms get worse. People may not recognize family members or have trouble speaking, reading or writing. They may forget how to change their clothes or brush their teeth. Later on, they may become anxious or aggressive, or wander away from home. Eventually, they need total care. This can cause great stress for family members who must care for them. Alzheimer's is not a normal part of aging, although the greatest known risk factor is increasing age, and the majority of people with Alzheimer's are 65 and older. The risk goes up as you get older. The risk is also higher if a family member has had the disease.

The Superscript Element

The superscript <sup> element is used to set the text as superscript in which the text is raised slightly higher. Th superscript element is useful if the content you're writing is all about mathematics or chemistry.


Listed below are the most common attributes you can use for the superscript element:

• class - provides the class or classes of the heading. This attribute is used to identify the name of the style class or classes to be used for rendering.
• id - provides a unique name for the heading.
• lang - provides the language in which the enclosed content is coded.
• style - provides a cascading style sheet (CSS) properties to the heading.
• title - privides a text title for the heading. Most web browser displays the value of the title as "tooltip".

First Aid for Firecracker Injuries

Slight burn or  first degree burn should be cleaned immediately. put the affected part under a running water or soak in iced water before drying and applying a closed dressing or gauze.
If the wound is bleeding, apply a direct pressure and elevate the affected area to stop bleeding.

In case of poisoning due to firecracker ingestion, let the victim eat 5 raw eggs to coat the gastrointestinal tract to prevent chemical from sticking to the stomach.

For burns caused by phosphorous, the wound should be wiped first before they are placed under running water.
After the first aid or if the injury is severe bring the victim to the nearest hospital for proper care and treatments.

Stress and Adaptation

Stress is a state manifested by symptoms that arise from the coordinated activation of the neuroendocrine and immune systems, which Selye called the generation adaptation syndrome.

The hormones and neurotransmitters (catecholamines and cortisol) that are released during the stress response function to alert the individual to a threat or challenge to homeostasis, to enhance cardiovascular and metabolic activity in order to manage to the stressor, and to focus the energy of the body by suppressing the activity of other systems that are not immediately needed.

Adaptation is the ability to respond to challenges of physical or psychological homeostasis and to return to a balanced state.
