High blood pressure is a very common condition in modern society. It has been estimated that one in five Americans, around 50 million people, suffer from high blood pressure. In general more men than women have high blood pressure, and the number of sufferers of both genders increases rapidly with age.

In around 5% of cases of high blood pressure is caused by kidney problems, but the causes of the other 95% of cases are unknown. There are a number of factors such as race, age, obesity, stress, smoking and lack of exercise that can contribute to the likelihood of a person developing high blood pressure but usually no one cause is directly responsible.

Brain Waves Can 'Write' on a Computer in Early Tests, Researchers Show

Neuroscientists at the Mayo Clinic campus in Jacksonville, Fla., have demonstrated how brain waves can be used to type alphanumerical characters on a computer screen. By merely focusing on the “q” in a matrix of letters, for example, that “q” appears on the monitor.

Researchers say these findings, presented at the 2009 annual meeting of the American Epilepsy Society, represent concrete progress toward a mind-machine interface that may, one day, help people with a variety of disorders control devices, such as prosthetic arms and legs. These disorders include Lou Gehrig’s disease and spinal cord injuries, among many others.

HOW TO SAVE TIME WHILE WRITING POSTS!!!!! FOR BEGINNERS

WHEN YOU ARE TYPING SOMEWHERE YOUR BOTH HANDS ARE ON KEYBOARD THUS  IF YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING WITH YOUR TEXT THEN YOU HAVE TO USE THE MOUSE THIS CAN BE TROUBLE SOME AT TIMES

THESE SHORTCUTS ARE REALLY USEFUL FOR BEGINNERS

Ctrl+N-Open a new word document quickly.

Ctrl+X-Cut- Removes the selection from the active document and places it on the clipboard.

Ctrl+O-Opens a previously saved document.

Ctrl+C-Copies the selection to the clipboard

CONVERT THE UPPERCASE TO LOWER CASE CHARACTERS IN MICROSOFT WORD

when we sometimes write in word we continue to write in uppercase by switching the capslock on

this capslock on can be very irritating & sometimes it leads to deletion of line and retyping of line which is very frustrating

recently i found a solution for it that i am sharing here now that is you can select the text then if you will  press shift +f3 then it will change it’s case

IT’S A VERY USEFUL FUNCTION WHEN YOU WRITE LONG …………………

INTRODUCTION TO BIOMECHANICS (BASIC DEFINITIONS) MUST KNOW

Definitions

  • Bio mechanics – application of the principles of mechanics / physics to biological organisms
  • muscle action vs. function
    • action – motions produced by a muscle’s shortening; described in reference to axes and planes of body
      • – determined by architecture of joint and position of muscle around it
      • – pure mechanics which can be inferred
    • function – how the organism chooses to use a muscle
      • – can involve positive, negative or non- work (see below)
  • agonists (Gr., contestant)– muscles with an identical action; usually restricted to single axis or plane of reference

What Is the Best Way To Measure Cardiac Output?

Despite recent controversies regarding its safety and efficacy, pulmonary artery catheterization
(PAC) remains a widely used tool for the management of patients with cardiovascular instability. In addition to providing measurements of cardiac out-put (CO), several other potentially useful pieces of data can be obtained, including estimates of preload,afterload, and oxygen utilization. However, many practitioners feel that CO is the most useful parameter obtained with PAC.The desire to measure CO without the risks of PAC has driven the search for other, less invasive measurement methods, such as esophageal Doppler measurements, lithium dilution, and carbon dioxide based techniques.
