9 abdominal regions

The 9 abdominal regions take a bit more time to name. I'm sure, however, that you can find the Umbilical region . . . around the umbilicus, of course! The areas above and below are given terms relative to the stomach (or at least where people think the stomach is: Epigastric (Epi = above, gastric = stomach), and Hypogastric (Hypo = below, gastric = stomach). The six remaining regions are divided into left and right , so there are only three more names to learn. The regions on either side are named according to the area of the spine (the lumbar region is the lower back): Left Lumbar and Right Lumbar. The regions on either side of the Hypogastric are named according to the bone that makes up the crest of the pelvis (The Iliac crest): Left Iliac and Right Iliac. Lastly, the two regions on either side of the Epigastric are named according to the organs' placement below the cartilage (chondro = cartilage) attaching the ribs to the sternum (costal cartilage, costal = ribs). Since these organs are under the cartilage, their names should make sense: Left Hypochondriac and Right Hypochondriac

vaccines for H1N1 influenza

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced today that it has approved 4 vaccines against the 2009 influenza A (H1N1) virus, formerly known as "swine flu." The vaccine lots are expected to be available and distributed within the next 4 weeks.

The FDA said that the vaccines, based on early data, effectively elicit an immune response in most healthy adults about 8 to10 days after vaccination.
some lots of the H1N1 vaccine will contain the preservative thimerosal and others will not. The FDA has been continuing its efforts toward reducing thimerosal used in vaccines.

The FDA warns that persons with known allergies to chicken eggs or any other substance in the vaccine should probably not be vaccinated, although in the ongoing clinical trials, the vaccines have been well tolerated. The most common adverse effect is soreness at the injection site; other adverse effects can include a mild fever, body aches, and fatigue for a couple of days after vaccination. For the nasal spray delivery system, the most common adverse effects were runny nose, nasal congestion in all ages, sore throats in adults, and fever in children aged 2 to 6 years.

effect of posture (supine to standing ) on blood pressure

a change in posture alters the hydrostsatic pressure in the blood vessel affecting TRANSMURAL pressure and also on venous capacity.
hydrostatic pressure :- in supine or prone posture all blood vessels are approximatelyat the level of the heart.when standing there is increase in arterial and venous pressure below the level of the heart and decrease in arterial and venous pressure above the level of heart.

there is reflex compensation due to decrease in end diastolic volume caused by sudden standing,it is detected by atrial stretch receptors and the decrease in mean arterial blood pressure is detcted by carotid baroreceptors.
so it leads to:-
1 increse in heart rate and myocardial contractility
2 vasoconstriction in the skeletal musculature,skin ,kidneys and gut increasing total peripheral resistance
3 venocostriction in all veins , but in particular in those of skin and gut.
