The doctor suspects a stroke and immediately arranges a computerized tomography (CT) scan of the patient's head to aid diagnostics. Discuss why the doctor may have suggested a CT scan over magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Describe in detail the physical basis of CT. The next day after the patient has been hospitalized the doctor decides to have a MRI to complement the diagnosis. Name one advantage of MRI compared to CT. Describe in detail the physical basis of MRI. The are two main types of stroke: ischemic, caused by a lack of blood flow and hemorrhagic, due to bleeding. On the basis of the CT scan, discuss how each type of stroke would appear in the CT scan.

Notice that there are visible folds (“bumps and grooves”) on this structure. Each elevated bump is called a __2_ while each shallow groove is called a __3_. Located at the “back of the brain” is the __4_____. In the longitudinal cut you are looking at, you’ll notice that it has an internal, tree-like pattern called arbor vitae. This part of the brain coordinates equilibrium and motor activity to produce smooth, controlled movements. The brain stem connects the brain to the spinal cord. It kind of looks like a tail coming out the back. It includes three parts including the posterior-most _5__, the bulb-like _6__ and anterior-most _7__. This region of the brain contains centers for breathing and heart rate. It also serves as a relay station for nerve impulses traveling between the brain and the spinal cord. As our narrator moves…arrow_forward

Becky does not seem to have sustained permanent damage, but the doctor wants to see an MRI of her brain to make sure. She reported feeling faint before the wreck, so the doctor also orders various blood tests. The nurse draws blood and sends it to a lab off site. The small hospital does not have an MRI machine, so Becky is transported to another hospital for the MRI and then taken back to the small hospital. The doctor admits Becky for overnight observation. How could electronic health records have ensured that everyone involved in Becky’s care has the most up-to-date information about her health?

In order to maintain balance, the gymnast would need to see the balance beam and determine where her feet are touching it. She would need to control the muscle contractions in her body to ensure she doesn’t fall off the beam. The regions of the brain numbered above that are involved directly in maintaining balance are Answer, Answer, Answer, and Answer.

- Helparrow_forwardM4arrow_forwardDr. LaGuardia is a cognitive neuroscientist who is interested in the effect of brain concussions on the ability to recognize faces. He conducts a quasi-experimental study in which he examines football players before and after the regular season using the Benton Facial Recognition Test (a published, widely used measure of one’s ability to recognize faces) to compare those who received concussions to those who did not. He finds that players who had concussions during the regular season performed worse on the Benton Facial Recognition Test than did players who did not experience concussions. If Dr. LaGuardia had instead been interested in conducting a small-N design, which of the following might he have done? a. He would not have compared participants’ performance on the Facial Recognition Test to other groups. b. He would have collected fewer types of data. c. He would have likely collected other additional dependent measures. d. He would have likely selected a topic where he…arrow_forward
