Tympanogram is also used to measure the improvement of middle ear function following interventions for Eustachian tube dysfunction. ![]() Tympanogram is another test related to middle ear function that measures tympanic membrane compliance, with an abnormal tympanogram finding indicating increased pressure within the middle ear. Another imaging study that shows promising results in diagnosing Eustachian tube dysfunction is scintigraphy, which uses radiolabeled albumin tracers introduced through the tympanic membrane to visualize the patency of drainage from the middle ear. Studies using CT imaging show a reduced cross-sectional area of the osseous portion of the Eustachian tube in patients with documented dysfunction. Cases of unilateral dysfunction demonstrated normal opening on the unaffected side and failure to open on the affected side. One study, using real-time MRI, was able to visualize the Eustachian tube opening with the Valsalva maneuver in patients with documented dysfunction. In addition, various imaging studies can aid clinical examination in diagnosing dysfunction. Ideally, a full clinical assessment should include the use of an otoscope, Rinne and Weber tuning forks or pure tone audiometry, and nasopharyngoscopy. Diagnosis is based on a clinical exam and symptoms specific to Eustachian tube dysfunction. The diagnosis of Eustachian tube dysfunction is poorly defined, with no existing comprehensive guidelines. This process is enhanced as the tube matures and becomes more oblique in angle, allowing gravity to play a role in the drainage process. Īlso of importance in the proper function of the Eustachian tube is the mucociliary clearance of middle ear secretions to the nasopharynx. It is these surfactants that aid in reducing the surface tension of the ET lumen and thus reduce the work required to dilate the tube. Of note, tubal dilation is facilitated by the presence of surfactants, surface tension-reducing substances found in the mucus of the ET. Intermittent brief tubal dilation of the ET occurs multiple times per day, occurring approximately 1.4 times/minute and remaining open for approximately 0.4 seconds. Two additional muscles associated with the Eustachian tube that have not been shown to play a significant role in the opening of the lumen include the tensor tympani and salpingopharyngeus muscles. This mechanism also clarifies why exaggerated Eustachian tube dysfunction will result in hearing deficits if a gas exchange deficit occurs in the middle ear, causing the tympanic membrane to tauten. This explains why dilation of the Eustachian tube allows air at atmospheric pressure to equilibrate with the lower partial pressures of gas in the middle ear that develop. Carbon dioxide and oxygen readily pass through the venous capillary membranes, creating a net pressure vacuum in relation to atmospheric pressure. The pressure discrepancy between the middle ear and the atmosphere is due to the diffusion of atmospheric gases across venous capillary cell membranes in the middle ear. Simultaneous contractions of these muscles during swallowing or yawning allow air to pass through the ET to equilibrate pressure in the middle ear with the atmosphere. ![]() ![]() Contraction of the levator veli palatini results in elevation of the soft palate and medial rotation of the cartilaginous lamina. The tensor veli palatini contracts the anterolateral wall to cause dilation and opening of the distal Eustachian tube. ![]() While the Eustachian tube is closed at rest, it relies on its interaction with two muscles to help facilitate its opening the tensor veli palatini and the levator veli palatini.

![]() I don't know first hand, but I have heard that EVGA has the best customer support. Ty_ger07 Maybe its because I haven't warranty replaced anything ever, that makes customer service extremely low on my priority list. Boards are hit or miss, either get one that's great or one that gives you a headache. Seems like its true, different companies have different problems with their boards. Thanks guys for the reviews! Appreciate it. You can receive faulty hardware from any of the mfg. (more on CPU silicon lottery) A site that sells binned CPU's says, As of 2/22/17, the top 7% of tested 7700Ks were able to hit 5.2GHz or greater. ![]() How high you can overclock comes down to CPU silicon lottery. I think most of the Z270 mobo around$215-300 price tag overclock about the same for everyday use. Better onboard sound and audio software on motherboards around $200-230 price point Reinforced PCI-E and RAM slots Onboard RGB and/or RGB headers More version to choose from to meet a budget Better value for your money Does having more than 10 power phase make a difference on Z270 air/water cooled system, i doubt it. Few things i have noticed other mfg have that evga doesn't. They go all out on video cards but not motherboards. In my opinion, evga not putting as much effort as they could into producing motherboards. If you want a motherboard with all the latest features, you will have to look towards ASRock, ASUS ,GIGABYTE and MSI. It all depends on what features you care about. If you like spending a lot of your time playing with it, making it work, and trying to keep it working, EVGA motherboards are for you. I think of EVGA motherboards as the tinkerer's friend. Even though I have had a MSI motherboard fail, prior to it failing, I didn't have constant annoying issues with it which made me dread owning it. MSI and Asrock have done me pretty well since then. But if you buy the standard version which costs the same price as the competitor's, it is inferior. It seems like the people who buy the overly-expensive EVGA wanker version ("CLASSIFIED", etc.) of the board are the people who like the EVGA board or have tricked themselves into believing that they like it. I decided my experiences weren't just a fluke and decided that it is unlikely that i will buy another EVGA motherboard. ![]() To top it off, the EVGA X58 board tended to perform worse clock-for-clock compared to other brands' board of the same type. I tested the hardware in another brand motherboard. With it, once again I experienced inadequate cooling design concerns (had to zip tie fan to power MOSFET heatsink to keep MOSFET temps down below 100c), boot issues (I had to turn it off and on 2 or 3 times some times or even some times cycle the PSU power switch to get it to pass BIOS POST) and reliability issues (hangs, freezes, and randomly disappearing or reappearing system memory between one boot and the next boot). The X58 motherboard I purchased was just the standard price-competitive version. So, I still felt comfortable buying an EVGA X58 SLI motherboard. Like I said, I don't know if it is fair to fault EVGA in those instances since it was an NVIDIA reference motherboard with simply EVGA's logo on it. The second had annoying issues - such as poor power efficiency, an extremely hot running chipset, buzzing chipset fan - but worked for a few years before it failed. The first 780i failed (stopped booting and stopped detecting drives) within a week or two. The EVGA nForce 780i was technically an NVIDIA reference board and therefore I don't know if I can blame EVGA. The thought of 'EVGA motherboard' makes me think "meh". After those experiences, I haven't purchased an EVGA motherboard and don't see that changing any time soon. Both the EVGA motherboard models I have owned - two EVGA nForce 780i motherboards and one EVGA X58 motherboard - were plagued by annoying issues and were not that spectacular to own. This encouraged the rise of the social infighting that is the raison d'être of the Game.ĭuring the Orlesian occupation of Ferelden, King Meghren attempted to bring the Grand Game to Ferelden's nobility. Far from ending the game, however, his actions instead shifted its focus to obtaining tokens of prestige, such as patronages and familial ties. Concerned with the civil instability caused by their often brutal struggle for nobility ranks, Drakon abolished all titles except Emperor, Lord, and Lady. When Emperor Kordillus Drakon I first established the Orlesian Empire, the local nobility possessed an intricate system of titles. She was wife to two of the sons of Maferath and Andraste, and manipulated both to protect her people from Alamarri cultural intrusions. The Game was originated in spirit by Jeshavis, known as the "Mother of Orlais" and gyðja of the Ciriane tribe of Orlais. The quality and rarity of one's makeup-uncommon hues and consistencies are prized-speak volumes of one's status. Makeup can be a strong indicator of social standing. There is both masculine and feminine makeup, although outsiders may have trouble telling the difference. Wearing makeup is another popular tradition for both men and women in Orlais. Family symbols are well known among the Orlesian public, and anyone attempting to wear a mask that doesn't belong to their house runs the risk of a quick death if discovered. Retainers and servants wear a simpler form of a family's mask. ![]() These masks are hereditary and identify one's family almost as uniquely as the heraldry on a crest: a family might be associated with a lion crest, and matching lion masks will identify them in public. The Orlesian nobility is prone to wearing very elaborate masks in public. ![]() Divine Justinia V was reputed to be one of its best players. Though normally considered above the Game, the templars and priesthood of Orlais frequently participate in it. Īlso surprising is the presence of the Chantry in the Game. Orlais is much less of a meritocracy than it appears, however, and the Game frequently sorts the wheat of Orlesian society from the chaff. However, most peasants desire to ascend as well, and the vain hope of accruing a generous patron or sufficient funds to gain a title in the Council of Heralds makes them surprisingly accepting of the Game's excesses. The lower classes are believed by the nations beyond Orlais to resent the Game that ostensibly keeps them demeaned. Due to this tension the Game is a losing proposition for the uninitiated, and it is said that more blood is spilled in the Game than in any war in Orlais. Indeed, an individual known as a skilled player is granted discreet respect among his or her peers. ![]() Paradoxically, however, though direct culpability is undesirable, credit and recognition are demanded. The rule of the Game is simply this: all is accepted as long as the player is not caught, up to and including murder. In order to rise in the decadent Orlesian society and among the bloated upper class, much is permitted. The Game's purpose is one-upmanship of rival aristocrats, often accomplished through elite proxies called bards. Orlesian culture is renowned for its infighting, with every family engaging on some level in what’s known as the Grand Game. ![]() Among the Orlesian nobility, status and appearance are set above all things. ![]() Only three insects are categorised as pain level 4, two of which are wasps. Most bees fall between 1-2 on the scale (most sit at 1), whereas most wasps sit at level 3. The scale ranges from 1-4, with 4 being the most painful. The Schmidt sting pain index measures the pain caused by stinging insects. There are thought to be 75,000 individual species of wasp but, within the group, there are wasps with stings considered to be the most painful in the entire animal kingdom. Meanwhile, wasps inject 2-15 micrograms of venom per sting, mostly made up of antigen 5, enzymes, acetylcholine, and serotonin," they write.ĭon't get us wrong, both wasp and bee stings can be pretty painful, but if you were to rate the intensity of the pain from a sting, wasps are likely to come out on top. Bees inject around 50-140 micrograms of toxin containing mostly melittin, plus hyaluronidase and phospholipase A2. How long does a wasp sting last After effects of a wasp sting should only last for a few hours, but can last for a few days, depending on the severity. Take antihistamines if necessary to reduce itching. Take painkillers such as paracetamol or ibuprofen to manage pain if needed. "When it comes to venom, a bee and a wasp generally have similar effects but different ways of causing 'pain', as experienced by humans. Use calamine lotion to soothe stinging and irritation. On the other hand, wasps can be aggressive and sting more than once.Ī-Z Animals further explains that wasps and bees have different venom and can cause varying levels of pain. This is especially the case for honeybees and bumblebees. These abandoned stingers continue to secrete venom so removing them reduces the amount of. ![]() You'd be forgiven for thinking wasp and bee stings are the same, especially as, if you hear something buzzing around you while outside, you probably don't care what it is and just want to swat it away! However, wasp and bee stings are different, particularly in their reasons for stinging.įor the most part, bees only sting once and if they are provoked (stood on, picked up, hit at). Bees are the only insects that leave their stingers in their victims. ![]() Psst - you don't want to miss out on our problem-solving products for annoying cat habits.Ĭhoose between 20 portions and schedule up to six meals a day it holds up to 17 cups of food. I love the two options and can’t wait to easily switch my kitten to the bigger portion once he grows up." - Vicky Su My kitten gets the small food portion while my adult cat gets the bigger portion. I have two of these at home: one for my kitty and one for my adult cat. Not going to lie, I also use this food dispenser as a home security system to check up on what’s going on in the house. I love how I am able to access the camera whenever I want and record a video and take a picture. My favorite part is you are able to record your voice to call them over for breakfast/lunch/dinner - although the food dispensing is enough for them to run over. On the app, you are able to set schedules for when you want to feed your pet as well as how much you want to feed them. Promising review: "I love this automatic pet feeder so much! I am a teacher, so I leave for work at about 6 a.m. ![]() There's also a noise that goes off when each meal is distributed. Make sure to keep your kitties busy with these cat toys for indoor cats.Ĭomes with a programmable timer for up to four meals a day, and controls whether they receive 2 tablespoons or 4.5 cups a feeding. Overall, he is much happier as he nows gets his food on an exact schedule throughout the day, and we are happier as he no longer yowls at us at random times when hungry." - jlfakir My favorite feature is the back up battery in case the power goes out, so our cat always gets fed. At six portions a day, I'm only needing to fill up the automatic feeder once every two to three weeks, so it is low maintenance. We only need to do up to two portions per feeding and the automatic feeder goes up to 30+ portions, so it could easily dispense enough for more than one cat, or even a small dog. Determining the portion size took some math as the bag states how much food in cups, while the automatic feeder dispenses portions in pounds, but we were able to get the right amount determined. We also were able to measure exactly how much food he'd need to finally lose that extra weight he gained due to overeating. ![]() It has been amazing! We've set up a schedule to feed him four times a day (so every 6 hours), that way he has a steady flow of food going into his bowl. As a way to combat this, we decided to buy this automatic feeder. Promising review: "Our 7-year-old cat would constantly demand food several times a day, so my husband and I were overfeeding to placate him. ![]() These innovative features help you reduce lag and have a faster gaming experience.įor example, the Eco Mode allows you to multitask by reducing CPU and GPU usage.Īccording to the data gathered from three instances of different BlueStacks versions, RAM usage drops by 50% in the latest update of the emulator. You can also find other features, including Multi-Instance Sync, Marcos, and Eco Mode. The latest version of the software, BlueStacks 5.0, runs much faster than the previous versions and has memory usage optimization to increase gaming speed. Since BlueStacks 1.0 was launched in 2011, there have been five other versions, namely BlueStacks 2.0, 3.0, 3N, 4.0, and 5.0. Like any other software program, BlueStacks has different versions, each building upon the previous one and fixing bugs and issues to improve its performance. Updating the graphics card drivers and enabling virtualization are also essential steps in speeding up BlueStacks. Stop multitasking and close all background apps to give as many CPU resources to Bluestacks as possible. However, since BlueStacks is a demanding app, you need to allocate enough RAM and CPU resources to it so that it can run more smoothly. ![]() This version has significant performance improvements over the previous versions and can run much faster. Why Is BlueStacks So Slow? (Reasons, Fixes)īlueStacks is slow mostly because you don’t have the latest version of the emulator. ![]() Most of these issues are fixable since they’re related to the app’s settings, and you can improve the performance of BlueStacks easily. However, BlueStacks can run into issues that make it laggy and stutter. This emulator allows you to play Android games on a Windows device, allowing you to have the best of both worlds.

The bottom line is that yes, it does work. A very valuable tool, since it can give you an indication of whether or not you need to tweak the setting which you are using. Want to know if you are actually enhancing your PC’s performance by using this booster? An FPS counter comes with the Cortex: Booster, and it provides the gamer with real time stats and immediate feedback as to the optimization of the CPU. This makes for quicker launching/loading time, and faster in-game loading of maps, levels, menus, and settings. Razer are working hard to make things easier for the rest of us. Cortex: Booster will even defragment your game folder, making your games’ data that much closer and more easily accessible. Not just cool systems and peripherals, but free downloadable software to help gamers achieve the best experience possible, within their means. When Razer say that they are “For Gamers, By Gamers”, it is also about things like this. Even if your PC is not truly meant for gaming, using Razer Cortex: Booster will give you an edge, and there are times when it will allows you to play games which would otherwise be unplayable due to CPU clutter and memory hogging applications. Users can choose where to launch their game from: Steam, Origin, or right there from the desktop, and launch time will be shorter. The software kicks in when a game starts up, suspends what needs to be suspended, and then restores those original tasks and background applications when the game is done. This is especially true to those with older computers/laptops, and it is on these systems that the improved performance will be a lot more noticeable. The Booster’s settings can be altered manually or set automatically, via the custom or recommended settings option. If you are running something which requires an extra, well, boost – then this could be exactly what you need. It simply shifts the CPU’s attention, so to speak, away from certain processes, and it funnels more power and memory towards the ongoing gaming application. It is all about making the most of the tools which are at your disposal.Ĭortex Boost does not affect any of the presets or pre-existing hardware settings of your PC. This results in much smoother gameplay, and in an improved rate of frames per second (FPS). Once there are less processes to compute, it frees up a nice amount of memory and CPU power, and gets a computer’s performance rate up. ![]() When Boost is engaged, processes which are not necessary for gameplay are either put on hold or shut down altogether. On the other hand, it means that it can be manipulated and optimized to enhance performance. When many processes are running all at once, it may cause the computer’s central processing unit (CPU)’s power to weaken your gaming session. On the one hand, that means that it has its limits. A powerful machine, but a machine nonetheless. Your PC is often running many applications and processes simultaneously, as it should. Razer’s Cortex is not the first game booster to be released, but it is certainly one of the more worthy ones. For this reason, Cortex: Boost was designed and introduced to the gaming community a few years back. There are a good few games out there which are definitely meant to aggravate, which use that very fact as a selling point, and which do one hell of a job at it! But, even when it comes to those games, we can all agree that they become a lot more playable and enjoyable without the inconvenience of broken-up gameplay. Games are meant to be enjoyed by those who are playing them, and not to aggravate. “Rage quitting” is a common effect of these kinds of problems. We all know that graphics really do matter, and we all get annoyed as all hell when the screen starts hiccupping and/or tearing mid-play. We all know the frustration of that split-second lag which costs you a round or an awesome headshot. Systems, peripherals, accessories – they’ve got it all, as we will detail here in our Razer Cortex: Boost Gameplay Enhancer Review. This is a program which can be used on any PC. Razer have been providing the gaming community with top-notch products, ever since their first gaming mouse, a ball-operated device named Boomslang hit the markets in 1999. It is essentially a tool which helps gamers optimize their PC’s settings, and achieve a smoother and faster gaming experience through task managing. It is a free downloadable software for Windows, available right from Razer’s website. In 2014, Razer released the newest version of its Cortex: Boost gameplay enhancer.
