Health Affairs. Find Your Parent Center. Families with a child who has a disability often need information about the disability of their child, about early intervention (for babies and toddlers), school services (for school-aged children), therapy, local policies, transportation, and much more. Every State has at least one Parent Training and Information Center (PTI) to offer families just this kind of information. Many States also have a Community Parent Resource Center (CPRC), which offers the same type of support and training to parents of children with disabilities.
For a quick read on what PTIs and CPRCs do, and how they can help parents and families of children with disabilities: Use this interactive map to find the PTI or CPRC that serves your State or territory. Health References. Spike-and-wave oscillations. Figure 1: Human electroencephalogram (EEG) recording of an absence seizure consisting of slow (about 3 Hz) oscillations with spike-and-wave patterns. The EEG was taken from a 24-hour recording of a 10 year-old child with no treatment (original data from Destexhe, 1992).
The term spike-and-wave refers to a pattern of the electroencephalogram (EEG) typically observed during epileptic seizures. In particular, one of the most common type of epileptic manifestations, the absence seizure (also called "petit mal"), displays a clear-cut oscillation consisting of generalized and bilaterally synchronous spike-and-wave EEG patterns recurring at a frequency of about 3 Hz in humans (see Figure 1). The mechanisms underlying the genesis of such spike-and-wave seizures is the subject of this article.

The UMLS was designed and is maintained by the US National Library of Medicine, is updated quarterly and may be used for free. The project was initiated in 1986 by Donald A. B. Lindberg, M.D., then and current Director of the Library of Medicine.
Purpose and applications[edit] The number of biomedical resources available to researchers is enormous. Often this is a problem due to the large volume of documents retrieved when the medical literature is searched. Licensing[edit] Users of the system are required to sign a "UMLS agreement" and file brief annual usage reports.
Knowledge Sources[edit] [edit] The Metathesaurus forms the base of the UMLS and comprises over 1 million biomedical concepts and 5 million concept names, all of which stem from the over 100 incorporated controlled vocabularies and classification systems. The scope of the Metathesaurus is determined by the scope of the source vocabularies.

Lab Tests Online: Welcome! Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) Radiation. Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) Radiation Extremely low frequency (ELF) fields includes alternating current (AC) fields and other electromagnetic, non-ionizing radiation from 1 Hz to 300 Hz.
ELF fields at 60 Hz are produced by power lines, electrical wiring, and electrical equipment. Some epidemiological studies have suggested increased cancer risk associated with magnetic field exposures near electric power lines. There are currently no specific OSHA standards that address extremely low frequency (ELF) fields. Standards There are national consensus standards and standards from the United Kingdom (UK) which OSHA could consider referencing in a general duty clause citation.
Note: Twenty-five states, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands have OSHA-approved State Plans and have adopted their own standards and enforcement policies.

Knowing how to measure your heart rate or pulse, can help you to learn about your own degree of fitness and can help to detect potential medical problems that should be brought to the attention of your physician. » What Is Heart Rate?
» How To Measure Your Pulse » What Is A Normal Heart Rate? » Reducing Your Heart Rate » Target Heart Rate » Recovery Heart Rate » A Final Word on Exercise Programs Very simply, your heart rate is the number of times your heart beats per minute. You can measure your heart rate by feeling your pulse - the rhythmic expansion and contraction (or throbbing) of an artery as blood is forced through it by the regular contractions of the heart. Your pulse can be felt at the wrist, neck, groin or top of the foot - areas where the artery is close to the skin. Top « Taking your pulse is easy. Turn the palm side of your hand facing up. Example: If you count 12 beats in the span of 10 seconds, multiply 12 X 6 = 72. Many factors influence heart rate. JAHA: Journal of the American Heart Association.

For the European Community system for coding chemicals, see European Community number. The Enzyme Commission number (EC number) is a numerical classification scheme for enzymes, based on the chemical reactions they catalyze.[1] As a system of enzyme nomenclature, every EC number is associated with a recommended name for the respective enzyme. Strictly speaking, EC numbers do not specify enzymes, but enzyme-catalyzed reactions. If different enzymes (for instance from different organisms) catalyze the same reaction, then they receive the same EC number.[2] Furthermore, through convergent evolution, completely different protein folds can catalyze an identical reaction and therefore would be assigned an identical EC number (these are called non-homologous isofunctional enzymes, or NISE).[3] By contrast, UniProt identifiers uniquely specify a protein by its amino acid sequence.[4] Format of number[edit] Top level codes[edit] History[edit]
