By averaging all 6 values, we can estimate that an average European Swallow flies at cruising speed with a frequency of roughly 15 beats per. second, and an amplitude of roughly 22 cm. Last monthâs article on The Strouhal Number in Cruising Flight showed how simplified flight waveforms that graph amplitude versus.
In the anteroposterior direction, the curvature is referred to as kyphosis (increased posterior convexity of the spine) or lordosis (increased posterior concavity of the spine). Most scoliosis also has a rotational component. Conventional radiographs (x-rays) are an excellent means for assessing scoliosis.ospital for Special Surgery. Spinal malalignment-Scoliosis and Listhesis. Scoliosis refers to abnormal curvature of the spine. Scoliosis may result from various structural causes, although the most common form of scoliosis is called idiopathic scoliosis, which has no known cause.
The medical term for cervical erosion is 'cervical ectopy'. It is a condition in which cells that normally line the inside of the cervical canal extend on to the surface of the cervix. Normally, the inside of the cervical canal is lined with columar epithelium and the outside with squamous epithelium.These connect at the squamo-columnar junction. In cervical erosion, the columnar epithelium may extend further down ad protrude on the surface of the cervical os and onto the vaginal portion of cervix. On Examination: The area of cervical erosion is seen as a bright, red surface around the external os (mouth of the cervix). 2  It extends inside the cervix. 3  The margin is well defined and the whole area may be smeared with cervical discharge.
