If the patient's eyes move in a direction opposite to the direction of the rotation of the head, then the patient is said to have an intact brainstem.

Any voluntary muscle in the body may be affected, although the tremor is most commonly seen in the hands and arms and slightly less commonly in the neck ( causing the patient's head to shake ), tongue, and legs.

In addition, computed axial tomography ( CT ) scans of a patient's head may reveal the presence of tumors and other abnormalities such as hydrocephalus.

Both electrodes can be placed on the same side of the patient's head.

The patient is assisted by an anesthesiologist or resident to make a specific surgical position, then sterile drapes are used to cover all of the patient's body except for the head and the surgical site or at least a wide area surrounding the operating field ; the drapes are clipped to a pair of poles near the head of the bed to form an " ether screen ", which separates the anesthetist / anesthesiologist's working area ( unsterile ) from the surgical site ( sterile ).

The procedure involved drilling holes in the patient's head and destroying tissue in the frontal lobes by injecting alcohol.

This scanner required the use of a water-filled Perspex tank with a pre-shaped rubber " head-cap " at the front, which enclosed the patient's head.

He checks the usually-alert patient's head dressings to find the child's exposed brain tissue infested with day-old maggots.

The head surgeon, Bruce Reitz, credited the patient's recovery to cyclosporine-A.

The patient's head ( not seen ) is at the bottom.

Moulage may be as simple as applying pre-made rubber or latex " wounds " to a healthy " patient's " limbs, chest, head, etc., or as complex as using complicated makeup and theatre techniques to provide elements of realism ( such as blood, vomitus, open fractures, etc.

Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation ( CES ) is a psychiatric treatment that applies a small, pulsed electric current across a patient's head.

If attempting to calm the patient does not work within a few minutes, and the patient's condition is deteriorating, the hyperventilation may be caused by a medical condition ( some of which are life threatening such as head injuries or drug overdose ).

Pemberton's sign is the development of facial flushing, distended neck and head superficial veins, inspiratory stridor and elevation of the jugular venous pressure ( JVP ) upon raising both of the patient's arms above his / her head simultaneously, as high as possible ( Pemberton's maneuver ).

He has an altercation with a patient's relative and receives a bang on the head, and he becomes increasingly lary during the episode, at one point making a pass at Connie Beauchamp ; people assume he is drunk, but it transpires that he has a developed a Subdural hematoma as a result of the knock on the head.

Gatch invented the Gatch adjustable hospital bed, which with the aid of a crank the patient's head and feet could be raised or lowered.

The patient's head is then positioned so that the bubble rests against the retinal hole.

It is not easy for the therapist to discern when, in the patient's communicating, an introject has appeared and is holding sway.

More than anything, it is the therapist's intuitive sensing of these latent meanings in the stereotype which helps these meanings to become revealed, something like a spread-out deck of cards, on sporadic occasions over the passage of the patient's and his months of work together.

probably it is correct to think of it as a matter of a well-grooved, stereotyped mode of expression -- and no, or but a few, other communicational grooves, as yet -- being there, available for the patient's use, as newly-emerging emotions and ideas well up in him over the course of months.

This circumstance in the patient's case plus the fact that his tactual capacity remained basically in sound working order constitutes its exceptional value for the problem at hand since the evidence presented by the authors is overwhelming that, when the patient closed his eyes, he had absolutely no spatial ( that is, third-dimensional ) awareness whatsoever.

Obviously, a satisfactory answer to the third question is imperative, if the argument is to get under way at all, for if there is any possibility of doubt whether the patient's tactual sensitivity had been impaired by the occipital lesion, any findings whatsoever in regard to the first question become completely ambiguous and fail altogether, of course, as evidence to establish the desired conclusion.

If the argument is accepted as essentially sound up to this point, it remains for us to consider whether the patient's difficulties in orienting himself spatially and in locating objects in space with the sense of touch can be explained by his defective visual condition.

Perhaps the very important question -- What is, then, exactly the role of kinesthetic sensations in the patient's ability to recognize forms and shapes by means of the tracing movements when he is actually looking at things??

Then she catapults into `` everything and everybody '', putting particular violence on `` everybody '', indicating to the linguist that this is a spot to flag -- that is, it is not congruent to the patient's general style of speech up to this point.

When the resistance is suddenly removed without warning, the patient's arm may swing up and even strike themselves.

Also, when the patient is standing with arms and hands extended toward the physician, if the eyes are closed, the patient's finger will tend to " fall down " and then be restored to the horizontal extended position by sudden muscular contractions ( the " ataxic hand ").

Progressive Jargon Aphasia is a fluent or receptive aphasia in which the patient's speech is incomprehensible, but appears to make sense to them.

The progression from HIV to AIDS is not immediate or even necessarily rapid ; HIV's cytotoxic activity towards CD4 + lymphocytes is classified as AIDS once a given patient's CD4 + cell count falls below 200.

In a TRAM procedure, a portion of the abdomen tissue group, including skin, adipose tissues, minor muscles and connective tissues, is taken from the patient's abdomen and transplanted onto the breast site.

If the mutated sequence is present in the patient's genome, the probe will bind to it and flag the mutation.

A further distinction is sometimes made in the ordering of the letters, to represent the order of the episodes, where the patient's normal state is euthymic, interrupted by episodes of mania followed by depression ( MD ) or vice versa ( DM ).

In what ways, then, did the patient's psychical blindness manifest itself??

Caloric reflex test also evaluates both cortical and brainstem function ; cold water is injected into one ear and the patient is observed for eye movement ; if the patient's eyes slowly deviate toward the ear where the water was injected, then the brainstem is intact, however failure to deviate toward the injected ear indicates damage of the brainstem on that side.

Researchers then compared the affected patient's genome to the genomes of the patient's mother, father, and seven siblings with and without the disease.

He then pressed his fingers on the patient's hypochondrium region ( the area below the diaphragm ), sometimes holding his hands there for hours.

Since the gall bladder is similar to a small balloon that stores and releases bile, it can usually be removed from the abdomen by suctioning out the bile and then removing the deflated gallbladder through the 1 cm incision at the patient's navel.

When the manic behaviours have gone, long-term treatment then focuses on prophylactic treatment to try to stabilize the patient's mood, typically through a combination of pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy.

* The cystoscopy video depicts traveling into to a tubular space ( presumed to be the patient's urethra ) containing the fish's carcass and then pulling it out backwards through the urethral opening, something that would have been almost impossible with the fish's spikes intact.

A technician then takes infrared images of both the patient's affected-and unaffected-limbs, as well as reference images of other parts of the patient's body including his or her face, upper-back, and lower-back.

The sponge was then dried and stored ; just before surgery the sponge was moistened and then held under the patient's nose.

The fertilised egg ( zygote ) is then transferred to the patient's uterus with the intention of establishing a successful pregnancy.

A biomedical solution would then be applied to both ends of the wound, causing the foreskin to regenerate with the DNA in the patient's own cells.

Manual external defibrillator monitor The healthcare provider will then decide what charge ( in joules ) to use, based on proven guidelines and experience, and will deliver the shock through paddles or pads on the patient's chest.

The stained bands then indicate the proteins to which the patient's serum contains antibody.

The response is then recorded from the patient's scalp.

Diagnosis of IBS involves excluding conditions that produce IBS-like symptoms, and then following a procedure to categorize the patient's symptoms.
