In the United States, 12,000 babies are born annually with hearing loss. Doctors at the University of Miami's Ear Institute help patients that are diagnosed and prepared for cochlear implant surgery. A cochlear implant is a small, complex electronic device that provides the sense of hearing to patients who are profoundly deaf or are severely hard of hearing. The implant helps patients hear when electrodes along the array stimulate the remaining auditory nerve fibers in the cochlea. The electrical sound information is sent through the auditory system to the brain for interpretation. In this issue, students will learn the benefits of cochlear implants, how the ear works, and the anatomy of the inner and outer ear.
This DVD deals with the basic unit of structure of the human body and the cell. It explains the makeup of a composite cell and the contribution of each of the organelles to cellular function and two basic cellular processes: the utilization of energy and the use of genetic information to control cell processes. Specifically, this DVD discusses how enzymes control cell metabolism, how energy is released and made available to the cell, and how carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins are metabolized.
This DVD introduces some basic concepts of chemistry, a science that studies the composition of substances and the changes that occur as basic elements combine. It explains how substances combine to make up matter.
This DVD is about growth, which is an increase in size, and development, a process by which an individual changes from one life phase to another. This DVD explains the major events of prenatal life: the period of cleavage, the origin of primary germ layers, the formation and function of the placenta, and the events of the fetal stage. The physiological shifts necessary for a newborn while adjusting to postnatal life are discussed.
This DVD presents the roles of several body systems in maintaining proper concentrations of water and electrolytes. Water and electrolyte balance is defined, and the importance of this balance is explained. This DVD tells how water enters the body, how it is distributed in various body compartments, and how it leaves the body. It explains how electrolytes enter and leave the body and how their concentration is regulated. This DVD describes acid-base balance, mechanisms regulating this balance, and the etiology and treatment of acid-base disturbances.
This DVD defines the characteristics and needs common to all living things and the manner in which the human body is organized to accomplish life processes. The language peculiar to anatomy and physiology is also introduced.
Medical professionals all over the world are constantly looking for better ways to treat patients and diseases. In this program, doctors at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine and the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center treat a patient with a type of cancer that affects the area of the brain that controls function. Glioblastomas are aggressive and often fatal malignant brain tumors. To combat the disease, revolutionary medical treatments are beginning to save lives all over the world. Doctors found that when the procedure called an awake craniotomy was used, they are able to remove the tumor from the brain without damage to the language areas. During an awake craniotomy, surgeons can converse with the patient to hear if the language areas of the brain are being affected before removing the tumor, thus preserving very important parts of the brain as much as possible. In addition, the medical staff is able to create a vaccine from the extracted tumor. After the tumor is harvested during surgery, certain proteins from the cells are purified. These proteins are then concentrated and given back to the patient in simple injections. The purpose of this tumor vaccine is to spark the patient's immune systems to fight the tumor and attack it to keep it from coming back. This issue also goes in depth about how the human brain works, the different regions, and specifically the Wernicke's area, which is one of the two parts that is linked to speech.
The skeletal system can be thought of as the passive partner in producing movement; the muscular system can be thought of as the active partner. This DVD explains how muscles interact with bones to maintain posture and produce movement. In addition, it tells the characteristics and functions of skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscles. This knowledge is a foundation for the study of other organ systems, such as the digestive system, the respiratory system, and the cardiovascular system.
This DVD presents some basic concepts of nutrition. It defines nutrition and primary and secondary malnutrition. It describes the utilization, function, and sources of proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, vitamins, and minerals. It explains nitrogen balance, energy, energy value of foods, basal metabolic rate, adequate diet, and desirable weight.
This DVD deals with specialized parts of the nervous system that allow the body to assess and adjust to the external environment. It describes the types of receptors and their locations, structures, and functions in maintaining homeostasis.
The characteristics of a tissue remain the same regardless of where it occurs in the body. Knowledge of these characteristics is basic to understanding how a specific tissue contributes to the function of an organ.
