Answer:

Answered below

Explanation:

Head injuries may be penetrating head injury or closed head injury.

A major concern for health professionals regarding intracranial injuries resulting from closed head traumas, is the management of intracranial pressure. Elevated intracranial pressure have negative effects on the brain and immediate management of raised intracranial pressure is important to avoid cerebral edema, intracranial hematoma, brain herniation and even death.

The usual procedures in the management of head injury include elevating the head to about 30 degrees. This position promotes cerebral venous drainage and decreases intracranial venous pressure and intracranial pressure as well.

This is helpful because when the patient is left in the horizontal position, the intracranial pressure becomes significantly higher and the have fatal consequences.

<span>Great minds combined with technological advancements have a lead to creations and achievements that would have been impossible. Whatever great scientist of the past has achieved have already been surpassed or improved through modern and innovative ideas and processes. An excellent example of which is the direct manipulation of an organism’s DNA, also known as genetic engineering or genetic modification (GM). Coming from the terms genes and modify, the entire process is something out of a science fiction movie. Well, it used to be that way until the practice was perfected and used in actual applications. Genetic engineering made it possible to add new DNA or alter bad ones.</span>
