  2. Yakovlevian torque - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakovlevian_torque

    The Yakovlevian torque in the cerebrum (exaggerated). Redrawn from Toga & Thompson (2003). [1]Yakovlevian torque (also known as occipital bending (OB) [2] or counterclockwise brain torque [3]) is the tendency of the right side of the human brain to be warped slightly forward relative to the left and the left side of the human brain to be warped slightly backward relative to the right.

  3. AV nodal reentrant tachycardia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AV_nodal_reentrant_tachycardia

    It is a type of supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), meaning that it originates from a location within the heart above the bundle of His. AV nodal reentrant tachycardia is the most common regular supraventricular tachycardia. It is more common in women than men (approximately 75% of cases occur in females). The main symptom is palpitations.

  4. Trendelenburg position - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trendelenburg_position

    Reverse Trendelenburg. The Trendelenburg position can be used to treat a venous air embolism by placing the right ventricular outflow tract inferior to the right ventricular cavity, causing the air to migrate superiorly into a position within the right ventricle from which air is less likely to embolise.

  5. Arrhythmia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrhythmia

    Arrhythmia may be classified by rate (tachycardia, bradycardia), mechanism (automaticity, re-entry, triggered) or duration (isolated premature beats; couplets; runs, that is 3 or more beats; non-sustained = less than 30 seconds or sustained = over 30 seconds). [citation needed] Arrhythmias are also classified by site of origin: [citation needed]

  6. Bendopnea - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bendopnea

    The term "bendopnea" (meaning "bent" and "breath") was coined to be easily identifiable among patients and physicians. [ 3 ] Bendopnea should be distinguished from orthopnea (shortness of breath while lying down), trepopnea (shortness of breath while lying on one side), and platypnea (shortness of breath relieved by lying down and worsened when ...

  7. Hypermobility (joints) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypermobility_(joints)

    People with joint hypermobility may develop other conditions caused by their unstable joints. [6] [7] These conditions include: Subluxations or dislocations, especially in the shoulder; Joint instability causing frequent sprains, tendinitis, or bursitis when doing activities that would not affect others. However, a 2018 study reports that while ...

  8. Aircraft flight dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_flight_dynamics

    Yawing also increases the speed of the outboard wing whilst slowing down the inboard wing, with corresponding changes in drag causing a (small) opposing yaw moment. N r {\displaystyle N_{r}} opposes the inherent directional stiffness which tends to point the aircraft's nose back into the wind and always matches the sign of the yaw rate input.

  9. Banked turn - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banked_turn

    When a fixed-wing aircraft is making a turn (changing its direction) the aircraft must roll to a banked position so that its wings are angled towards the desired direction of the turn. When the turn has been completed the aircraft must roll back to the wings-level position in order to resume straight flight. [4]
