Should you buy xbox 360 PlayStation 3 or Wii?
An xbox 360 is a hardcore kind of gaming console used for playing online with people, a wii is a fun console you can use if you want to relax and play, and a playstation 3 is like a media center where you can watch movies since it has the DVD Blue-Rayand do other kinds of things too. It all depends on what type of console you want and how you will be using it.

Kneecap dislocation?
DefinitionKneecap dislocation occurs when the triangle-shaped bone covering the knee (patella) moves or slides out of place. The problem usually occurs toward the outside of the leg.See also: DislocationAlternative NamesDislocation - kneecap; Patellar dislocation or instabilityCausesA dislocated kneecap most often occurs in women. It is usually a result of sudden direction changes while running. This puts the knee under stress.Dislocation may also occur as a direct result of injury. When it is dislocated, the kneecap may slip sideways and around to the outside of the knee.SymptomsKneecap (patella) moves to the outside of the kneeKnee pain and tendernessKnee swelling"Sloppy" kneecap -- you can move the kneecap excessively from right to left (hypermobile patella)The first few times this occurs, you will feel pain and be unable to walk. However, if dislocations continue to occur and are untreated, you may feel less pain and have less immediate disability. This is not a reason to avoid treatment. Kneecap dislocation damages your knee joint.First AidStabilize (splint) the knee with the leg fully straight (extended), and get medical attention.Your health care provider will examine the knee, which could confirm that the kneecap is dislocated.A knee x-rayand, sometimes, MRIs should be done to make sure that the dislocation did not cause a bone to break or cartilage to be damaged. If tests show that you have no such damage, your knee will be placed into an immobilizer or cast to prevent you from moving it for several weeks (usually about 3 weeks).After this time, physical therapy can help build back your muscle strength and improve the knee's range of motion.If the knee remains unstable, you may need surgery to stabilize the kneecap. This may be done using arthroscopic or open surgery.Call immediately for emergency medical assistance ifCall your health care provider if you injure your knee and you have symptoms of dislocation.Call your health care provider if you are being treated for a dislocated knee and you notice:Increased instability in your kneePain or swelling return after they went awayYour injury does not appear to be getting better with timeAlso call if you re-injure your knee.PreventionUse proper techniques when exercising or playing sports. Keep your knee strong and flexible.Some cases of knee dislocation may not be preventable, especially if anatomic factors make you more likely to dislocate your knee.
Apert syndrome?
DefinitionApert syndrome is a genetic disease in which the seams between the skull bones close earlier than normal. This affects the shape of the head and face.Alternative NamesAcrocephalosyndactylyCauses, incidence, and risk factorsApert syndrome can be passed down through families (inherited). The syndrome is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait, which means that only one parent needs to pass on the faulty gene for a child to have the condition.Some cases may occur without a known family history.Apert syndrome is caused by mutations in a gene called fibroblast growth factor receptor 2. This gene defect causes some of the bony sutures of the skull to close too early, a condition called craniosynostosis.People with Apert syndrome have a distinctive looking face, and there may be full-length webbing or fusion between the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th fingers, as well as the toes. As the child grows, the bones in the hands and feet become progressively fused, which reduces flexibility and function.Several other syndromes that include craniosynostosis can lead to a similar appearance of the face and head, but do not include the severe hand and foot problems of Apert syndrome. These similar syndromes include:Carpenter syndrome (kleeblattschadel, cloverleaf skull deformity)Crouzon disease (craniofacial dysostosis)Pfeiffer syndromeSaethre-Chotzen syndromeSymptomsEarly closure of sutures between bones of the skull, noted by ridging along suturesFrequent ear infectionsFusion or severe webbing of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th fingers, often called "mitten hands"Hearing lossLarge or late-closing soft spot on a baby's skullPossible, slow intellectual development (varies from person to person)Prominent or bulging eyesSevere under-development of the mid-faceSkeletal (limb) abnormalitiesShort heightWebbing or fusion of the toesSigns and testsA skull x-rayand physical exam can confirm the diagnosis of craniosynostosis.Hand or foot x-rays are also very important to determine the extent of bone problems.A genetic test for mutations in the fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 gene can confirm the diagnosis of Apert syndrome. Hearing tests should also always be performed.TreatmentThe patient should be evaluated by a multispecialty cranio-facial surgery team at a children's medical center. Treatment consists of surgery to correct abnormal bone growth of the skull, mid-face, and jaw area.A hearing specialist should be consulted if there are hearing problems.Support GroupsChildren's Craniofacial Association -- www.ccakids.comExpectations (prognosis)What to expect will vary from child to child.ComplicationsOther birth defects may exist. Each child should be evaluated on an individual basis.Calling your health care providerCall your health care provider if you have a family history of Apert syndrome or you notice your baby's skull is not developing normally.PreventionGenetic counseling may be of value to prospective parents.

What is the difference between cathode ray and x-ray?
Compared to X-rays, gamma rays have a higher energy, have a higher frequency, and have a shorter wavelength.The difference between gamma rays and X-rays is in the frequency of the electromagnetic radiation. Gamma rays and X-rays are both types of electromagnetic radiation, but gamma rays are higher on the electromagnetic frequency spectrum. Gamma rays have more energy than X-rays. Use the links below for more information.More specific answer: The answer above is true to a rudimentary level. However, if you look at the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum, X-ray and gamma rays overlap over a certain range. At this point, the two rays are identical in terms of EM properties (at any given point on the spectrum, the energy, frequency, and wavelength of the EM wave are directly proportional).For example, a 140 MeV X-ray is identical to a 140 MeV gamma ray. Any wave/photon with the same energy is also going to have the same wavelength and frequency. (Use the equation E=h*c/lambda, where h is planck's constant, c is the speed of light, and lambda is the wavelength.As a result, the only difference between ALL x-rays and gamma rays are the origin of the ray itself. X-rays originate from the electron shell, gamma rays originate from the nucleus. This is the true definition of what the difference is between X-rays and gamma rays.It is not enough to say that gamma rays are higher up than x-rays on the EM spectrum. ONLY SOME ARE.What happens is that, in the case of gamma rays, the photon results when the nucleus comes down from the excited state that results from some kind of nuclear reaction, such as alpha decay, beta decay, fission, fusion, or some other kind of interaction that does something to excite the nucleus. The resulting energy of that photon is the step-wise change of the nucleus in coming down back to the state it "wants" to have.In the case of x-rays, the electron cloud also has a ground state, where all of the positions in all of the shells are filled, up to the limits of the available electrons. If you add energy to the cloud, electrons move up, and we call that an excited state. It wants to come back down. As each electron comes back down, it emits a photon, again with an energy corresponding to the energy of the transition. If there was only one electron that was excited, then there will only be one photon, but if all of them were excited, then there will be multiple photons as each of them, in order, falls back into their desired positions, much like a string of dominoes. The best example of this is K capture, where an inner (K) shell electron is captured into the nucleus, perhaps to contribute to beta+ decay, followed by a chain of x-ray photons as the electron cloud rushes to a new ground state.
