Decerebrate posture Decerebrate posture. Definition. Decerebrate posture is an abnormal body posture that involves the arms and legs being held straight out, the toes being pointed downward, and the head and neck being arched backwards. The muscles are tightened and held rigidly. This type of posturing usually means there has been severe damage to the brain.

How reversible is decerebrate posturing caused by brain stem damage? up vote 2 down vote accepted. The decerebrate posturing is a sign of major brainstem dysfunction. The reversibility of this state (which is considered to be very critical and hardly reversible) depends upon the origin of the brainstem dysfunction.

- A deceleration is a decrease in the fetal heart rate below the fetal baseline heart rate. An early deceleration is defined as a waveform with a gradual decrease and return to baseline with time from onset of the deceleration to the lowest point of the deceleration (nadir) > 30 seconds. The nadir of the early deceleration occurs with the peak of a contraction.

Information of late or variable decelerations In 1997 and 2008, the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development published standardized definitions of FHR patterns, including late and variable decelerations. 4,5 A late deceleration is defined as a gradual (onset to nadir ≥30 seconds) decrease in FHR, with the onset, nadir, and recovery of the deceleration occurring after the beginning, peak, and ending of the contraction, respectively.

HELP ASAP! what is cephalization and why is it so important? Cephalization is the process in animals by which nervous and sensory tissues become concentrated in the head.. The evolution of a head allows scientists to distinguish between the head end, or anterior end of an animal's body, and the opposite end, the posterior.ven hydras, which are primitive, radially symmetrical cnidarians, show some degree of cephalization. They have a head where their mouth, photoreceptive cells, and a concentration of neural cells are located. Flatworms (phylum Platyhelminthes) are the most primitive animals with bilateral symmetry.

Abnormal posturing Abnormal posturing is an involuntary flexion or extension of the arms and legs, indicating severe brain injury. It occurs when one set of muscles becomes incapacitated while the opposing set is not, and an external stimulus such as pain causes the working set of muscles to contract.

- Decidualization is a characteristic of the endometrium of the pregnant uterus. It is a response of maternal cells to the hormone progesterone. Decidualization may be used to describe any change due to progesterone.

effleurage effleurage. stroking movement in massage. During childbirth, a light circular stroke of the lower abdomen, done in rhythm to control breathing, to aid in relaxation of the abdominal muscles, and to increase concentration during a uterine contraction. technique in massage in which long, light, or firm strokes are used, usually over the spine and back. Fingertip effleurage is a light technique performed with the tips of the fingers in a circular pattern over one part of the body or in long strokes over the back or an extremity.

Abnormal Posturing Abnormal posturing that occurs with little stimulation is a sign of serious central nervous system damage. Problems with or damage to the nervous system may appear as posturing when a person does certain tasks, such as walking on the sides of the feet, toes, or heels.

Postexercise Muscle Soreness Postexercise muscle soreness, also known as delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS), is defined as the sensation of discomfort or pain in the skeletal muscles following physical activity, usually eccentric, to which an individual is not accustomed.n apparent relationship exists between exercise intensity and the extent of soreness. Much evidence against the metabolic hypothesis also may be noted. The most convincing evidence is that the muscle contractions that cause the greatest degree of soreness require relatively low energy expenditure.

Posttraumatic stress disorder Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapy developed by Francine Shapiro that emphasizes disturbing memories as the cause of psychopathology. It is used to help with the symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Priming (psychology) Perceptual priming is based on the form of the stimulus and is enhanced by the match between the early and later stimuli. Perceptual priming is sensitive to the modality and exact format of the stimulus. An example of perceptual priming is the identification of an incomplete word in a word-stem completion test.

Deconditioning On a general level, deconditioning is a gradual physiological process whereby the level of physical conditioning and corresponding physical performance ability of the individual is reduced. Out of shape is the common expression used to convey this meaning. On a more sport-specific level, deconditioning is sometimes used as a planned period of inactivity to achieve a specific physiological end. Two vastly different circumstances are the best examples of the deconditioning process.

Fetal Heart Rate Decelerations (Decels) Fetal Heart Rate Decelerations (Decels) During labor and delivery, the heart rate of a fetus should remain steady but, with the application of force during contractions, may decelrate from the baseline rate. A normal baseline fetal heart rate usually falls between 120 and 160 beats per minute. There are three categories of decelerations: Early Decelerations:

Bremsstrahlung Bremsstrahlung (German pronun­cia­tion: [ˈbʁɛmsˌʃtʁaːlʊŋ], from bremsen to brake and Strahlung radiation; i.e., braking radiation or deceleration radiation) is electromagnetic radiation produced by the deceleration of a charged particle when deflected by another charged particle, typically an electron by an atomic nucleus.
