Level 6 - A stands for AMNESIC effects At this stage either consciousness is lost or at least one is unable to later recall what one is experiencing. The individual may fall, or remain immobile or thrash around somnambulistic behavior may occur injuries can be sustained without pain being felt on awakening the individual will have no recollection of what he/she did, experienced or said in level 6. People cannot ever recall what they experience in this very deep trance state. This is not a sought after level as later nothing can be recalled of the experience. [Pg.25]

A K-hole is a condition of near or complete immobility and unconsciousness, frequently preceded by vomiting. For obvious reasons, it is a phrase sometimes used derisively by people in club settings to describe the condition of a soiled and immobile patron. [Pg.272]

Q1 Blood clots (thrombi) which form in the venous part of the circulation are associated with slow or sluggish venous blood flow. This condition, called deep-vein thrombosis (DVT), has long been recognized as a risk factor for people immobilized by extended periods of bed rest and for passengers on long journeys with little room to move their legs. Sometimes the thrombi are detached from the vessel wall and travel to other parts of the circulation, causing serious obstruction to blood flow. A thrombus which detaches and enters the pulmonary circulation is particularly serious. [Pg.254]

Trephining was accomplished with a sharpened flint moved in rapid circular motions to cut through the bony skull. The procedure took about a half hour on a drugged patient. It is likely that early man had discovered the means to immobilize an individual so that surgery could be carried out. Trephining was practiced as late as the mid-twentieth century among isolated peoples. Even cadavers were trephined to remove bone fragments, which were then worn as amulets. [Pg.529]

Immobilization especially in young people and patients with Paget s di.sease. [Pg.131]

Silanized and glutaraldehyde-activated sub-micron ferrite particles have been used to immobilize j3-D-galactosidase. The immobilized enzyme was used for the hydrolysis of lactose in whole milk, from which the enzyme is readily recovered magnetically. The immobilized j3-D-galactosidase is of potential industrial importance hydrolysis improves some processed dairy products and there are also nutritional products requiring modification for people with lactose intolerance. [Pg.701]

Humans normally will seek out fluids because of a thirst mechanism that induces a craving for liquids when the body needs fluid. People who cannot access the desired fluids are at risk for inadequate intake. For example, people who are stranded in areas without clean water sources are at risk for hypovolemia. Fluid deficits are also found in people who are unable to obtain food and fluids without assistance (e.g., infants, unconscious individuals, and immobile or mobility challenged individuals) and are not given adequate food and fluids. [Pg.84]
