Etiology (/iːtiˈɒlədʒi/; alternatively aetiology or ætiology) is the study of causation, or origination. The word is derived from the Greek αἰτιολογία, aitiologia, "giving a reason for" (αἰτία, aitia, "cause"; and -λογία, -logia). The word is most commonly used in medical and philosophical theories, where it is used to refer to the study of why things occur, or even the reasons behind the way that things act, and is used in philosophy, physics, psychology, government, geography, spatial analysis, medicine, theology, and biology in reference to the causes of various phenomena. An etiological myth is a myth intended to explain a name or create a mythic history for a place or family.
An etiological myth, or origin myth, is a myth intended to explain the origins of cult practices, natural phenomena, proper names and the like. For example, the name Delphi and its associated deity, Apollon Delphinios, are explained in the Homeric Hymn which tells of how Apollo, in the shape of a dolphin (delphis), propelled Cretans over the seas to make them his priests. While Delphi is actually related to the word delphus ("womb"), many etiological myths are similarly based on folk etymology (the term "Amazon", for example). In the Aeneid (published circa 17 BC), Virgil claims the descent of Augustus Caesar's Julian clan from the hero Aeneas through his son Ascanius, also called Iulus. The story of Prometheus' sacrifice trick at Mecone in Hesiod's Theogony relates how Prometheus tricked Zeus into choosing the bones and fat of the first sacrificial animal rather than the meat to justify why, after a sacrifice, the Greeks offered the bones wrapped in fat to the gods while keeping the meat for themselves. In Ovid's Pyramus and Thisbe, the origin of the color of mulberries is explained, as the white berries become stained red from the blood gushing forth from their double suicide.

La Secretaría de Educación Pública a través de la Subsecretaría de Educación básica y el Instituto Nacional de Medicina Genómica presentan: Obesidad y Genómica. La obesidad afecta a más de 1,400 millones de personas en el mundo y en México cerca del 50% de la población los padece, lo que hace de ellos un problema de Salud Pública. Los avances en el conocimiento de su etiología han definido a la obesidad como una patología multifactorial, donde el componente genético es responsable hasta del 70% de las variaciones del índice de masa corporal; mientras que los factores ambientales contribuyen al 30% restante.

Get the facts on Spasticity with this 100%-accurate animated video. Part of Focus Apps' Understanding Disease: Neurology series, the Spasticity app demonstrates spasticity. This refers to an abnormal, involuntary, and velocity-dependent rise in muscle tone, which does not coordinate with other muscles. It is a complex motor disorder caused by damage or injury to the part of the brain or spinal cord that controls muscle movements. Explore the etiology of spasticity, its pathophysiology, clinical assessment, and management options (with a note on managing spasticity in children). http://www.focusappsstore.net/understanding-diseases/neurology/spasticity
Aitia - the ballerina of earthquakes Aetiology (or etiology) is the study of causation, derived from the Greek word Aitia meaning ‘cause’. Many Greek legends attempt to explain natural phenomena through myth and story. This film, created using shadow puppets in a tiny suitcase, with puppetry and stop-frame animation, is a modern example and is made with heartfelt condolences for those who have suffered inexplicable tragedies.

2012 Vumedi – Transmuscular Ulnar Nerve Transposition - Presentation Authors: Susan E. Mackinnon MD, Andrew Yee BS Date: 4/10/2012 This presentation was given during the Vumedi on-line webinar on 4/10/2012 regarding the appropriate surgical treatment for cubital tunnel syndrome (CTS). Specifically, this presentation covers the topic of transmuscular ulnar nerve transposition. While there is controversy on the best surgical management for CTS, we believe that there is no “best” procedure for attaining optimal patient outcomes. However, understanding the etiology of CTS and performing the chosen surgery effectively will improve patient outcomes. In this presentation, we describe the underlying problems of CTS and demonstrate specific techniques for treating it. Prezi Presentation - http://...
Treatments grounded in applied behaviour analysis (ABA) as well as biomedical approaches have individual helped provide effective treatment models for autism. However, for optimal success, these interventions must work together to provide the best possible outcomes. There is a significant volume of research on treatments for autism based on the principles of ABA that demonstrates that ABA is a successful treatment for children with autism. Recent research also supports a biomedical etiology for autism. Case studies based upon practical applications of this research suggest that the likelihood of successful treatment outcomes improves when biomedical interventions are used concurrently to treat comorbid medical conditions present in individuals diagnosed with autism. Therefore, support for ...
When one voice rules the nation
Just because they're top of the pile
Doesn't mean their vision is the clearest
The voices of the people
Are fallin' on deaf ears
Our politicians all become careerists
They must declare their interests
But not their company cars
Is there more to a seat in parliament
Than sitting on your arse
And the best of all this bad bunch
Is shouting to be heard
Above the sound of ideologies clashing
Outside the patient millions
Who put them into power
Expect a little more back for their taxes
Like school books, beds in hospitals
And peace in our bloody time
All they get is old men grinding axes
Who've built their private fortunes
On the things they can rely
The courts, the secret handshake
The Stock Exchange and the old school tie
For God and Queen, and Country
All things they justify
Above the sound of ideologies clashing
God bless the civil service
The nations saving grace
While we expect democracy
They're laughin' in our face
And although our cries get louder
The laughter gets louder still
Above the sound of ideologies clashing
Above the sound of ideologies
Above the sound of ideologies
