What is an exaggerated thoracic curvature?
Kyphosis is an exaggerated outward curvature of the spine, which causes hunching of the back. It can occur at any age but is usually prominent in older women.
Does scoliosis affect the lifespan of a person?
No. The slight curvature it causes in the spine has no impact on lifespan.
What is the direction of centripetal force?
Toward the center of curvature of the path along which it causes the object to move.
What is rotatory levoconvex scoliosis of the thoracolumbar spine?
Scoliosis refers to a curvature of the spine when looking at it from the front or the back (A to P, or P to A). This is very important, because the spine has normal curvatures when viewed from the side. The term scoliosis is used even when the curvature is mild. Normally a spine is straight when you look at it from front to back. It runs in the same direction that a necktie does. This particular curve, a levoconvex scoliosis of the thoracolumbar spine, runs from the low back area, maybe from the area where your belt would cross your low back (or lumbar spine) up to the mid-back, which is the area of your back that have ribs (or thoracic spine). The term rotatory means that the vertebrae making up this curvature are rotated so that their spinous processes are pointed towards the concavity, which is the right side in this case. Obviously, this question is regarding a radiology report, otherwise the term "rotatory" would not likely have been used. Hopefully, these x-rays were taken while the patient was standing (weight bearing films), otherwise they will not accurately depict the true curvature. Basically, films taken to assess/measure a scoliosis need to be taken with the patient standing up evenly on both feet.
What is An excessive concave curvature of the thoracic spine?
Either Scoliosis or Kyphosis. Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine, primarily in the thoracic region. Kyphosis is the forward bending of the thoracic region, the "round back" deformity.
What causes depletion region across P-N junction?
The presence of mobile and bound charges on either sides of the pn junction causes the depletion layer. A pn junction is formed when a semiconductor is dopped with a pentavalent impurity on one side and a tri-valent impurity on the other side.on one side electrons will be more in number and on the other side holes will be more in number.At the junction the electrons combine with holes and there will be no charge carriers(i.e. electrons and holes) in that region.That region which is free from charge carriers is called depletion region.
What is lumbar rotatory levoscoliosis?
Lumbar rotary levoscoliosis is a deformity of the spine. This causes a curvature of the spine that may also cause the ribs and lumbar area to be rotated slightly.
What are the causes of hypotonia?
The causes of hypotonia are varied and numerous. Some involve trauma to, or diseases of, the brain or spinal cord (CNS), while others affect the peripheral nerves, neuromuscular junction, or the muscles themselves.
Why do global temperatures increase towards the equator?
The sun rays are more concentrated there, as you get closer to the poles the curvature of earth causes the sun's rays to be more dispersed over the Earth's crust.
What is kirk effect?
The Kirk effect occurs at high current densities in bipolar junction transistors and causes a dramatic increase in the transit time of a transistor.
Why is ''botox'' an effective anti-wrinkle treatment.describe its mechanism of action with reference to the neuromuscular junction?
"Botox" is actually a poison. It prevents muscle movement by preventing the nerve impulse to travel from the neuron across the neuromuscular junction and prevents the muscle from contracting. It is the toxin produced by the microbe that causes botulism.
What causes a damage or alters a pn junction diode?
A: A devices whether active or passive have a power dissipation limits. By abusing this limit the device can become faulty and unreliable
