What Causes Edema in One Ankle? Swelling in one leg is less common than two legs and has a smaller number of possible causes. Edema means swelling of the soft tissues. It tends to occur in the feet, ankles and legs or the back in persons who are lying flat for long periods of time. It also most frequently occurs in both legs. The presence of edema in both legs has a broad number of possible causes. The presence of edema in one ankle narrows the diagnostic possibilities quite a bit. Video of the Day
|
What Really Causes Feet To Swell? Swelling of the ankles and feet is often an early symptom of venous insufficiency, a condition in which blood inadequately moves up the veins from the legs and feet up to the heart. Normally, the veins keep blood flowing upward with one-way valves.
|
- Deep clots can block one or more of the major veins of the legs. These blood clots can be life-threatening if they break loose and travel to the heart and lungs. If you have swelling in one leg, along with pain, low-grade fever, and possibly a change in color of the affected leg, call your doctor immediately.
|
What Causes Edema in One Ankle? Obstruction of veins draining the leg on one side of the body can cause edema in one leg. A blood clot in the leg, known as a DVT for deep vein thrombosis, is one possible cause of venous obstruction. A DVT is more common when a person is inactive for extended periods, such as during a long flight.
|
- Get medical care as soon as possible if: 1 You have unexplained, painful swelling of your feet or legs. 2 The swollen area becomes warm, red or inflamed. 3 The swelling is accompanied by a fever. 4 You are pregnant and have new foot swelling.

Gastric folds [edit on Wikidata] The gastric folds (or gastric rugae) may be seen during esophagogastroduodenoscopy or in radiological studies. They provide the stomach with increased surface area for nutrient absorption. When food enters the stomach, these folds stretch outward. This allows the stomach to expand, therefore increasing the volume of the stomach without increasing pressure.
|
GI: Histology I In the first portion of the duodenum, there is a prominent population of mucus glands in the submucosal layer called Brunners glands. These glands secreted alkali mucin that neutralizes the acidic chyme from the stomach. In the ileum there is a very prominent population of lymphatic nodules known as Peyer's patches.
|
Vaginal Rugae: Measurement and Significance Methods Two techniques of assessing vaginal rugae were developed and their inter-/ intra-observer variability assessed. Examination variability was assessed using intraclass correlation and by way of an analysis of the absolute difference between the two rugal quantitations.
|
Vaginal Rugae: Measurement and Significance Reliable assessment of vaginal rugae is the first step in determining the validity of the claimed associations between rugae appearance and those clinical parameters ascribed to it. Based on our observations, a global impression via a VAS is best suited to objectify assessment of vaginal rugae.
|
Vaginal Rugae: Measurement and Significance Linear regression analysis was used to assess the relationships between vaginal rugae score and these clinical parameters. Results The mean age and body mass index of the subjects were 56 years (standard deviation (SD) 13.8 years) and 30.4 kg/m^sup 2^ (SD 7.5 kg/m^sup 2^), respectively.
|
Vaginal Rugae: Measurement and Significance The median parity was 2 (range 0- 1.1). A history of anterior vaginal wall surgery was present in 29% of subjects and 46% were estrogen-deficient. Scores for the two techniques to quantitate vaginal rugae were normally distributed.
|
GI: Histology I Describe the cell type lining of the surface of the stomach and their function. Lining the surface of the stomach are tall columnar surface mucus cells. These cells have mucin granules and extend into the gastric pit.
|
Vaginal Rugae: Measurement and Significance Vaginal rugae are believed to yield important clues as to the str\uctural integrity and hormonal status of the lower genital tract. We have demonstrated that use of a 10 cm visual analog scale renders reliable intra- and interexaminer results.
|
GI: Histology I There are two types of glands in the esophagus. The first type is the submucosal glands located in the submucosal layer throughout the length of the esophagus. These secrete mucin to lubricate the esophagus to protect it from abrasion .
|
GI: Histology I Describe the cell types located in the crypts of Lieberkhan. These intestinal glands are lined by goblet cells and intestinal absorptive cells. Enteroendocrine cells are found along their lateral borders. At the bottom of the gland are Paneth cells (zymogenic cells). The paneth cells contain large granules in their apical cytoplasm which contain zinc and lysozyme.

- Neurons; Synapses; Glial Cells. All functions of consciousness are mediated by neurons and synapses and their supporting cells and structures. The dynamic core of active neurons mediates the emergent property of consciousness.
|
The difference between centre and periphery The devil is in the details. Together the spinal cord and the brain form the central nervous system (CNS). It is connected to the peripheral nervous system (PNS) which includes the nerves in our extremities. But, there are big differences between the two. Firstly the nervous cells (neurons) in CNS and PNS differ in ways such as their potential to regenerate. And, there are more cell types in the nervous system than just neurons. For a long time, those glial cells were regarded as mainly supporting cells (âgliaâ is ancient Greek name for glue).
|
- Difference Between Neurons and Neuroglia. The nervous system is made up of two major types of cells known as neurons and neuroglia. However, many have an understanding that there are only neurons in the nervous system, and the supporting cells are forgotten.
|
Difference Between Sensory and Motor Neurons Neurons can be classified based on their function as sensory neurons, motor neurons, and interneurons. Sensory neurons convey sensory impulses from sensory organs toward the central nervous system, which includes the spinal cord and brain. They follow ascending, or afferent pathways, so called âafferent neuronsâ. The cell body of the sensory neurons is located in the peripheral sensory ganglia, in the peripheral nervous system. Sensory neurons are unipolar neurons with afferent fibers, which extend between sensory receptors and central nervous system.
|
Difference Between Neurons and Neuroglia Difference Between Neurons and Neuroglia. Neurons vs Neuroglia. The nervous system is made up of two major types of cells known as neurons and neuroglia. However, many have an understanding that there are only neurons in the nervous system, and the supporting cells are forgotten.
|
- The less numerous (20%) group of cortical neurons, the interneurons, are generally stellate in morphology, but largely lack dendritic spines, contain GABA as their synaptic transmitter and are inhibitory in their output to other cells.
|
Difference Between Neurons and Neuroglia What is the difference between Neurons and Neuroglia? ⢠Neurons are the structural and functional units of the nervous system whereas neuroglia are the supporting cells. ⢠Neurons pass nerve pulses in the form of both electrical and chemical but neuroglia do not pass these pulses.
|
Difference Between Sensory and Motor Neurons Difference Between Sensory and Motor Neurons. Sensory vs Motor Neurons. Neurons are the functional and structural units of vertebrate nervous system. They make the communication network of the nervous system and transfer impulses between sensory organs, and central and peripheral nervous systems. There are about 200 billion neurons are integrated in the nerve network of an average person.
|
Difference Between Neurons and Neuroglia Neuroglia are also important for the protection of neurones in the brain, and there are almost the same number of neuroglia cells as the number of neuron cells in the human brain. The structure of this cell is like a spider or an octopus, but there is no axon as in neurons.
|
- Some neurons, local interneurons, have short axons and make connections to cells in their immediate vicinity, while others, projection neurons, send their axons to distant targets. (Sanes; Development of the Nervous System, 111) Projection neurons tend to be idle in the absence of inputs.

- assessed efficacy/tolerance of IVIG and PE in acute MG exacerbation ⢠Randomizing 87 patients to 0.4 gm/kg IVIG daily for either 3 days (N=23) or 5 days (N=23), or PE (N = 41) ⢠Myasthenic muscular score (MSS) through day 15 as primary end-point.
|
- MSS variation was 18 in the PE group and 15.5 in the IVIG group ⢠Patientsâ tolerance of IVIG was superior to PE: side effects occurred in 8 PE patients vs. 1 with IVIG Gajdos et al.
|
- Neurology. 78;1009; 2012. ⢠Based on 2 Class I studies, IVIG is as efficacious as plasmapheresis for treating GBS in adults. Because plasmapheresis is established as effective GBS treatment, we conclude that IVIG also has established effectiveness.
|
- There are also direct hospital costsas IVIG must be administered intravenously overseveral hours.Intravenous immune globulin currently costsbetween $51 and $64 per gram (all estimates inCanadian dollars), but in past years, with a lessfavorable US exchange rate, the cost has been ashigh as $75 to $80.
|
- Thymichyperplasia has been reported to occur in 65% ofmyasthenic patients, and thymoma, in up to 15%.Treatment of myasthenia gravis includes anti-cholinesterase drugs, thymectomy, immunosup-pressive therapy, and immunomodulation (eg, USE OF IVIG FOR NEUROLOGIC CONDITIONS S95. plasmapheresis, IVIG).
|
- Treatment at the time of acute symptomsshould be based on the clinical diagnosis at thetime of illness, as most patients with ADEM (oran ADEM-like illness that is eventually deter-mined to be the first manifestation of MS) areprofoundly ill.High-dose corticosteroids are first-line treatmentof ADEM.
|
- Based on con-sensus by the expert panel, IVIG may be consid-ered among the treatment options for neonatesseverely affected with myasthenia gravis.Dose and DurationBased on consensus by the expert panel, atotal dose of 2 g/kg given over 2 to 5 days is areasonable option.
|
IVIG Access Critical to Those With Rare Neurological Disorders Congress should ensure that comparative effectiveness research does not allow for cost-effectiveness coverage determinations through restrictive formularies. Imagine if your body rapidly went weak or if your legs, arms, breathing muscles and face were suddenly paralyzed.
|
- ⢠The majority of adverse effects from IVIG are infusion rate-related and usually mitigated by reducing the infusion rate or by interruption of the infusion until symptoms subside. ⢠Premedication with acetaminophen (1000mg) and/or diphenhydramine (50mg) may be useful for mitigating infusion-related adverse effects.
|
- Given the role anti-MAG antibodies are thought to play in thepathogenesis of the neuropathy, treatments havefocused on decreasing circulating IgM by removal(eg, PLEX), inhibition (eg, IVIG) or reduction ofsynthesis (eg, corticosteroids, immunosuppressivedrugs, interferon-a or rituximab).

What does a seasonal job mean? Report Abuse. Seasonal usually means you'll only have the job for one or two seasons out of the whole year, the best example is of summer jobs that teenagers usually get and that end when school picks up in the fall. I'd go for the job at Target's if you want a year round job. Hope this helps :). Skye · 7 years ago.

- Learn When to Plant Carrots. In the spring, sow carrot seeds in fertile, well-worked soil about two weeks before your last frost date. In cool climates, continue planting every three weeks until midsummer. In summer, begin sowing seeds for fall and winter carrots 10 to 12 weeks before your average first fall frost.weet, delicate carrots that canât be found in supermarkets are among a home gardenerâs greatest culinary rewards.

Natural Fibers Fibers are like tiny little rods or tubes-much longer than they are wide. Just about any fiber that you can think of is a polymer. (I guess that if it's a metal, it's called a wire, not a fiber!). Fibers can be natural-from plant or animals, or synthetic-made by people.
|
Cotton vs. Linen â What's the Difference? While cotton, from the cotton plant, and linen, from the flax plant, are both natural plant fibers (cellulose), there are many differences between them. The term Linens can colloquially refer to any household good, but this should not be confused with linen fabric.
|
Natural Fibers Wool is also a protein. Wool is the soft hair that's cut from animals like sheep, goats, llamas, alpacas, and even rabbits. Cashmere is extra-soft fur from goats. Angora rabbits give us angora fibers that are made into soft and fluffy sweaters and clothing. Mohair is wool from angora goats.
|
Fabric Identification â The burn test The ash is easily crumbled. Silk samples are not as easily extinguished as cotton or linen. Wool is also a protein fiber but is harder to ignite than silk as the individual âhairâ fibers are shorter than silk and the weave of the fabrics is generally looser than with silk. The flame is steady but more difficult to keep burning. The smell of burning wool is like burning hair.
|
Cotton vs. Linen â What's the Difference? Both cotton and linen are associated with wrinkles. Linen fibers have a natural resin called lignan. At first, the fibers are stiff and crease easily. The wrinkles become smoother through handling and use. The Cotton plant yields fluffy fiber clusters called bolls.
|
Cotton vs. Linen â What's the Difference? Hand (referring to the way it feels in your hand). From the flax plant, Linen is a bast fiber. Known to be crisper than cotton, linen becomes supple through handling. It gains elegance and softens to behold the most fluid drape.

Natural Fibers That's why cellulose is so strong too! Fibers do have a down side. They're strong when you pull or stretch them, but they're weak when you try to squish or press them. Also, fibers are usually only strong in one direction, lengthwise.
|
Fabric Identification â The burn test The ash left is easily crumbled. Small samples of burning cotton can be blown out as you would a candle. Linen is also a plant fiber but different from cotton in that the individual plant fibers which make up the yarn are long where cotton fibers are short. Linen takes longer to ignite. The fabric closest to the ash is very brittle. Linen is easily extinguished by blowing on it as you would a candle.

What are 2D Shapes? - Definition & Examples 2D Shapes Definition. '2D' stands for 2-dimensional. A 2D shape is any shape that has two dimensions. Think about what it means to have two dimensions for a moment. If we had only one dimension to work with, we could only move backwards or forwards in a line. A line is one-dimensional.
|
Three-Dimensional more ... An object that has height, width and depth, like any object in the real world. Example: your body is three-dimensional. Also known as 3D. See: Two-Dimensional.
|
- more ... A shape that only has two dimensions (such as width and height) and no thickness. Squares, Circles, Triangles, etc are two dimensional objects. Also known as 2D.
|
two-dimensional twoâ²-dimenâ²sional. 1. having the dimensions of height and width only: a two-dimensional surface. 2. (of a work of art) having its elements organized in terms of a flat surface, esp. emphasizing the vertical and horizontal character of the picture plane. 3. (of a literary work) superficial, as in character development. [1895â1900].
