Compact Bone01:27

Compact Bone

16.5K
Most bones contain compact and spongy osseous tissue, but their distribution and concentration vary based on the bone's overall function.
Compact bone, also called cortical bone, is the denser, stronger of the two types of bone tissue. It is found under the periosteum and in the diaphyses of long bones, where it provides support and protection. The microscopic structural unit of compact bone is called an osteon, or haversian system. Each osteon is composed of concentric rings of calcified...

Compacting Factor test01:22

Compacting Factor test

582
The compacting factor test is a method used to assess the workability of concrete. It is  especially suitable for concrete mixes containing aggregates up to one and a half inches in size. This test involves specialized equipment consisting of two truncated cone-shaped hoppers and a cylinder, all with polished interior surfaces to minimize friction.
The procedure begins by placing concrete into the upper hopper without any compaction. Once filled, the bottom door of this hopper is opened,...

ECG Interpretation of Arrhythmias II: Atrial, Junctional and Ventricular Arrhythmias

555
Arrhythmia is a condition characterized by an irregular heart rhythm, with ECG changes that differ based on its origin and nature. The types of arrhythmias discussed below include atrial, junctional, and ventricular arrhythmias.Atrial ArrhythmiasPremature Atrial Complexes (PACs): PACs are early atrial beats caused by stress, caffeine, alcohol, electrolyte imbalances, hypoxia, hyperthyroidism, or certain medications (e.g., bronchodilators and decongestants). The ECG shows early P waves with an...

Chromatin Packaging02:21

Chromatin Packaging

22.1K
Each human somatic cell contains 6 billion base-pairs of DNA. Each base-pair is 0.34 nm long, which means that each diploid cell contains a staggering 2 meters of DNA. How is such a long DNA strand packed inside a nucleus measuring only 10 - 20 microns in diameter? 
The chromatin
In combination with specialized DNA binding protein called Histones, the DNA double helix forms a compact DNA: protein complex called chromatin. The chromatin itself is further compacted into higher-order...

Anatomy of the Heart01:27

Anatomy of the Heart

119.8K
The human heart is made up of three layers of tissue that are surrounded by the pericardium, a membrane that protects and confines the heart. The outermost layer, closest to the pericardium, is the epicardium. The pericardial cavity separates the pericardium from the epicardium. Beneath the epicardium is the myocardium, the middle layer, and the endocardium, the innermost layer. There are four chambers of the heart: the right atrium, the right ventricle, the left atrium, and the left ventricle.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Developmental Biology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Isolated non-compaction of the left ventricle (NCVG) is a rare congenital cardiomyopathy.
  • It arises from abnormal fetal heart development, specifically myocardial embryogenesis.
  • Key features include prominent deep ventricular trabeculations, often in the left ventricular apex.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize the key aspects of isolated non-compaction of the left ventricle.
  • To highlight diagnostic methods and challenges.
  • To underscore the variability in clinical presentation and prognosis.

Main Methods:

  • Diagnosis is primarily based on echocardiography.
  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is also a key diagnostic tool.
  • Atypical forms may present diagnostic challenges.

Main Results:

  • NCVG is characterized by excessive deep trabeculations within the left ventricle.
  • Clinical manifestations and patient outcomes vary widely.
  • Familial occurrence is common, indicating a genetic component.

Conclusions:

  • Early and accurate diagnosis of NCVG is crucial, utilizing echocardiography and MRI.
  • The variable nature of NCVG requires individualized patient management.
  • Family screening is recommended due to the potential for inherited forms.
