A Biphasic system means it has two stages, not sure how this relates to Scoliosis, I woulñd go back to the Dr for more information as to what he is referring "biphasic"

Can scoliosis skip a generation?

Certain types of scoliosis have genetic factors, some have no genetic input, and some are only from genetics. For example, adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, which makes up about 80 percent of all cases of scoliosis, is generally from a combination of both environmental factors (i.e. posture) and genetic predisposition.


What are two types of skeletal system diseases?

Kyphosis and Scoliosis


Is scoliosis a dominant or recessive gene?

I believe it is recessive, as my grandmother on my father's side had it, and my aunt on my mom's side did, too. Right now I am 12 years old and I have scoliosis and wear a back brace, and I have been called ot be a pediatric orthapedist specializing in scoliosis. I hope to find out the cause(s) of scoliosis as I learn more about it, and eventually open my own mediacl practice. :)


What could a bump on the upper back on the scapula be?

A bump in that region could be a sign of scoliosis. A doctor's exam or xray could verify.


Why does the biphasic action potential change into the monophasic action potential after nerve injury between the two recording electrodes?

Think about measures at 3 different time points: when the action potential (AP) crosses the first electrode, when it hits the point of damage, and if undamaged when it crosses the 2nd electrode. You're always measuring the difference between 2 electrodes, R1 and R2.1. When the AP crosses only the first, you see half of the biphasic profile. In math terms, R1 is larger than R2 and R1 - R2 = AP.2. When it hits the damage point, the AP stops, since it requires functional biological nerve to propagate. No AP at the first and no AP at the second means R1 - R2 is effectively zero. When combined with 1, you see a monophasic profile.3. If there's no damage, the AP hits the 2nd electrode. Since you haven't switched any electrodes, R2 is now measuring the AP, and it's larger than R1. R1 - R2 = -AP = the mirror-imaged, 2nd half of the biphasic profile.
