Death Stages

The seven stages of death
1. Pallor Mortis - post mortem paleness which happens in those with light/white skin almost instantly (in the 15–25 minutes after the death) because of a lack of capillary circulation throughout the body.
2. Algor mortis - reduction in body temperature following death. This is generally a steady decline until matching ambient temperature. The Glaister equation estimates the hours elapsed since death as a linear function of the rectal temperature: (98.4°F - rectal temperature in Fahrenheit)/1.5
3. Rigor mortis - one of the recognizable signs of death, caused by chemical changes in the muscles after death, causing the limbs of the corpse to become stiff and difficult to move or manipulate.
In humans, it commences after about three to four hours, reaches maximum stiffness after 12 hours, and gradually dissipates until approximately 48 to 60 hours after death.
4. Livor mortis - settling of the blood in the lower (dependent) portion of the body, causing a purplish red discoloration of the skin. When the heart stops functioning and is no longer agitating the blood, heavy red blood cells sink through the serum by action of gravity. It starts twenty minutes after death and reaches its maximum within 6-12 hours.
5. Putrefaction - decomposition of proteins in a process that results in the eventual breakdown of cohesion between tissues and the liquefaction of most organs. The exact rate of putrefaction is dependent upon many factors such as weather, exposure and location. Thus, refrigeration at a morgue or funeral home can retard the process, allowing for burial in three days or so following death without embalming. The rate increases dramatically in tropical climates.
6. Decomposition - process by which organic substances are broken down into simpler forms of matter. Various sciences study the decomposition of bodies under the general rubric of forensics because the usual motive for such studies is to determine the time and cause of death for legal purposes.
7. Skeletonization - the last vestiges of the soft tissues of a corpse or carcass have decayed or dried to the point that the bones of the skeleton are exposed. By the end of the skeletonization process, all soft tissue will have been eliminated, leaving only disarticulated bones....

Alcoholism Classificarion

Alpha alcoholism: the earliest stage of the disease, manifesting the purely psychological continual dependence on the effects of alcohol to relieve bodily or emotional pain. This is the "problem drinker", whose drinking creates social and personal problems. Whilst there are significant social and personal problems, these people can stop if they really want to; thus, argued Jellinek, they have not lost control, and as a consequence, do not have a "disease".

Beta alcoholism: polyneuropathy, orcirrhosis of the liver from alcohol without physical or psychological dependence. These are the heavy drinkers that drink a lot, almost every day. They do not have physicaladdiction and do not suffer withdrawalsymptoms. This group do not have a "disease".

Gamma alcoholism: involving acquired tissue tolerance, physical dependence, and loss of control. This is the AA alcoholic, who is very much out of control, and does, by Jellinek's classification, have a "disease".

Delta alcoholism: as in Gamma alcoholism, but with inability to abstain, instead of loss of control.

Epsilon alcoholism: the most advanced stage of the disease, manifesting asdipsomania, or periodic alcoholism.

Incissions

Gridiron's incision(Mc Burney's incision)
Described in 1894 by McBurney, used for appendectomy. An oblique incision made in the right
lower quadrant of the abdomen, classically used for appendectomy Incision is placed perpendicular to the spinoumblical line at McBurney's point, i.e. at the junction of lateral one-third and medial two-third of spino-umblical line.

Kocher’s incision
An oblique incision made in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen, classially used for open cholecystectomy . Named after Emil Theodor Kocher . It is appropriate for certain operations on the liver , gallbladder and biliary tract .This shares a name with the Kocher incision used for thyroid surgery: a transverse, slightly curved incision about 2 cm above the sternoclavicular joints;

laryngeal endoscopic cordectomies

A classification of laryngeal endoscopic cordectomies was first proposed by European laryngology
society in 2000.The classification described 8 types of cordectomies, as follows:

Type I: Subepithelial cordectomy, which is the resection of vocal cord epithelium passing through the
superficial layer of lamina propria .
Type II: Subligamental cordectomy, which is resection of epithelium, or Reinke’s space and vocal ligament.
Type III: Transmuscular cordectomy, which proceeds through vocalis muscle.
Type IV: Total cordectomy, which extends from vocal process to the anterior commissure.
Type Va: Extended cordectomy encompassing the contralateral vocal fold.
Type Vb: Extended cordectomy encompassing the arytenoids.
Type Vc: Extended cordectomy encompassing the ventricular fold.
Type Vd: Extended cordectomy encompassing the subglottis.
