First developed by the United States in the early 1950s, the hydrogen or thermonuclear bomb is perhaps a thousand times more powerful than a uranium-or plutonium-based fission bomb, making it effectively the nuclear weapon's nuclear weapon.n a fusion reaction, two atoms of the lightest element, hydrogen, fuse to create one atom of helium, the next-lightest element â and release much more energy.
Clival tumors were found to enhance intensely. A clivus of very low signal intensity (signal void) on T1- or T2-weighted images was always abnormal. The clivus with marrow reconversion was uniformly hypointense relative to the pons on T1-weighted images and isointense relative to normal marrow on T2-weighted images.
Kussmaul's sign. Not to be confused with Kussmaul breathing. Kussmaul sign is a paradoxical rise in jugular venous pressure (JVP) on inspiration, or a failure in the appropriate fall of the JVP with inspiration. It can be seen in some forms of heart disease and is usually indicative of limited right ventricular filling due to right heart dysfunction.
