I am going to presume that you mean a MediMist Nebulizer. This is a machine used to administer medication to people in the form of a mist inhaled into the lungs. It is commonly used in treating cystic fibrosis, asthma and other respiratory diseases.

In the year 1826. He died in Ploaré, France. (Please see the link.)

Insertion of the Endoscope may cause a gag reflex and some discomfort, however, no special precautions are required to prepare for nasal endoscopy.

A diplomate in medical terms is someone with board certification.

Well the answer could be (see below)

A diplomat is a person usually works in the system of 'Ministry of Foreign Affairs' of a particular country and who represents their government when working in a embassy abroad. They deal with matters like, issuing visas. maintaining the embassy works, come into dialogue of matters important for their respective country. There are also some special jobs as diplomats what is not directly related to the embassies such as (diplomat to UN, Special envoy to....)

X-Rays lie at a different end of the electromagnetic spectrum to radiowaves.

X-Rays are very high frequency and very small wavelength. This means they are very high in energy. As a chemist I can use X-Rays to knock electrons out from low lying orbitals or cleave covalent bonds....both are very dangerous to biological systems (kinda like being shot by tiny bullets, smashing things apart such as DNA and essential proteins).

This also means we get radicals and other reactive species that will undergo unnatural reactions in our bodies (in many cases, they can be oxidising which is very dangerous in the highly reducing environment of our bodies).

If X-Rays are like tiny bullets, radiowaves are like tiny pingpong balls. You get hit by one and it's not a big deal. They will transfer some energy to you....some will pass right through you. But generally do not possess enough energy to do any major harm.

This is a very basic overview. If you want to dig a little deeper, look up 'electromagnetic spectrum' and note how the less harmful things appear on the low-energy (long wavelength) side of the spectrum...like IR and visible light as opposed to harmful radiation such as UV and X-Rays on the higher energy side.

Your magnification factor is SID divided by OID. [MF = SID/OID]

So for example:

If your SID was 40 and your SOD was 32

Your magnification factor = 40/32 = 1.25 -- This means the image will appear 25% larger than the actual object. (It's the size of 1 plus 25 percent more of the original.)

Example 2 if you're trying to figure out original object size:

Your object size equals your image size divided by the magnification factor (MF). [object size = image size/ MF]

If you have an object on an image that measure 70 inches when your SID was 100 and your OID was 65, how big was the original object?

MF=100/65= 1.54 (rounded)

Object size = 65/1.54 = 42.21

The object imaged was 42.21 inches before magnification.

The Meuse Rhine Issel cow's gestation periods is really the same as any other breed of female bovine: ~285 days.

Salt, Vinegar, Mustard, Nacho cheese, Pepper and Cayenne in small and equal proportions should be mixed to a cup of water and consumed. Blood circulation increases and makes you feel clearheaded and steady. A solution of Lemon juice, Black Pepper, Salt and Water is also an excellent solution for Dizziness. A mix of Honey and Apple Cider Vinegar is greatly helpful in clearing Dizziness quickly. Yoghurt mixed with orange, lemon and Tangerine peels relieves dizziness to a great extent. Chamomile tea or Peppermint when consumed restores normalcy. A massage with Lavender greatly helps in relieving dizziness. Pure ginger juice in small quantities relieves the pressure. Alternately ginger juice along with honey can be taken for better results, since honey has so many curative properties. If you want a remedy that doesn't include eating or drinks placing you head between your knees usually helps as well.

You can also try motion sickness over the counter medication. If the condition persists, you should visit your doctor.

Casimiro del Rosario became famous on his work about Soft X Rays.

Del Rosario was the co-founder of the Bartol Research Foundation (Franklin Institute) in Philadelphia, an institution which did pioneering researches in physics.

In B-mode ultrasound, which is the most common use, a linear array of transducers simultaneously scans a plane through the body that can be viewed as a two-dimensional image on screen..

ligamentum flavum hypertrophy is a degenerative condition of the spine which most commonly occurs in the elderly where the tendons holding one vertebra to another thicken, decreasing the amount of room available for the spinal cord and the nerves that come off it. It may be associated with inflammation (arthritis) or osteoporosis. It is frequently treated surgically, and it can recur.

This one seems a bit complex to answer easily, So if you follow the related link (Hypertrophy of Ligamentum Flavum in Lumbar Spinal Stenosis) you will find more information.

X-rays can pass through lead. X-rays can pass through just about everything. Therapeutic level x-rays can pass through 10 feet of concrete and lead. However, in diagnostic x-ray only 1/4" of lead in the protective aprons is necessary to block most of the x-rays at that level of radiation.

X-rays actually can pass through lead.

But the amount of X-rays that is blocked is proportional to the density.

E.g. Water has density 1 and lead has density 11.36. Therefore water lets pass 11.36 times more X-rays than lead.

X rays are are able to penetrate less dense materials easily, such as muscle and skin tissue in medical situations or plastics and wood in other applications.

As the material becomes more dense, the x rays penetrate less easily.

Materials such as steel or bone in a medical setting are more dense along with such materials as lead and tungsten in engineering situations.

MRI uses high magnetic fields and radio frequency and not x-ray. The procedure is generally safe and typically repeated examinations do not cause any problems.

However, some MRI scans use a Gadolinium-based contrast agent, so repeating MRI scans within a few days may expose a patient to higher-than-expected levels of the contrast agent in the blood, which can be affected by kidney function. Patients should check with their doctor before having a repeat contrast MRI scan within a few days.

No, Not at all. Electrodes are secured to the head with water soluble glue. The electrodes measure electrical activity of the brain and this is recorded on a tracing on paper. After the test is completed, the electrodes are removed.

The colon must be thoroughly cleansed before performing colonoscopy.

Consequently, for two or more days before the procedure, considerable preparation is necessary to clear the colon of all stool.

Arsenic 74 can be used as a positron emitter in PET - Positron Emission Tomography, the scope is to identify tumors.

Radiolucent indicates a structure which lets relatively more x-rays through than the adjoining structures. The radiolucent structure is black on film, and the radio-opaque structure is white. Everything is relative. From radiolucent to radio-opaque, in a progressive order are air, fat, water (soft tissues), bone, metal.
