Examples of procedure in the following topics:

  • Introduction to Practical Procedures

    • To recursively elaborate previously learned procedural and cultural mathematical competencies, each emphases section will have the 5th emphasis on the Practical Procedures of this level of mathematics.
    • Some tasks are designed to remind you of past learned procedures, while others are designed to help you think about learning something like Number for the first time.
  • Practicing Mathematics as a Teacher: Practical Procedures

    • But, there is a place for ensuring that we study together the practical procedures of the concepts that we are studying.
    • This work can do much more: it will give us a chance to talk about and investigate methods for teaching these practical procedures to your students in a more productive way then you might have been taught.
    • Some tasks are designed to remind you of past learned procedures, while others are designed to help you think about learning something like Number for the first time.
  • Lab safety

    • This is to satisfy safety procedures for investigation and experimentation section based on MSDE & NGSS.
  • Lab 2: Sampling Experiment

    • The student will explain each of the details of each procedure used.
    • In each case, describe your procedure briefly, including how you might have used the random number generator, and then list the restaurants in the sample you obtained
  • Tonsillectomy

    • A tonsillectomy is a surgical procedure in which the tonsils are removed from either side of the throat.
    • A tonsillectomy is a surgical procedure in which the tonsils are removed from either side of the throat.
    • For children, the adenoids are removed at the same time, a procedure called adenoidectomy.
    • Tonsillectomy remains one of the most common surgical procedures in children in the United States.
    • The generally accepted procedure for tonsillectomy involves separating and removing the tonsils from the subcapsular plane – a fascia of tissue that surrounds the tonsils.
  • Torn Cartilage and Arthroscopy

    • Arthroscopy is a minimally-invasive surgical procedure used in treating damage to the interior of a joint using a small incision and scope.
    • Arthroscopy (also called arthroscopic surgery) is a minimally-invasive surgical procedure in which an examination, and sometimes treatment of damage to the interior of a joint, is performed using an arthroscope, a type of endoscope that is inserted into the joint through a small incision.
    • Arthroscopic procedures can be performed either to evaluate or to treat many orthopedic conditions including torn floating cartilage, torn surface cartilage, ACL reconstruction, and trimming of damaged cartilage.
    • In knee arthroscopy, for example, only two small incisions are made: one for the arthroscope, permitting observation of the procedure and one for the surgical instruments to be used in the knee cavity.
    • The most common joints of the body that are successfully examined and or treated via this procedure include the knee, shoulder, elbow, wrist, ankle, foot, and hip.
  • Preparation of Ethers

    • One important procedure, known as the Williamson Ether Synthesis, proceeds by an SN2 reaction of an alkoxide nucleophile with an alkyl halide.
    • Reactions #1 and #2 below are two examples of this procedure.
    • Reactions #3 and #4 are examples of this two-step procedure.
    • As shown in the following two equations, the success of this procedure depends on the temperature.
  • Preparation of Carboxylic Acids

    • Two other useful procedures for preparing carboxylic acids involve hydrolysis of nitriles and carboxylation of organometallic intermediates.
    • Both methods require two steps, but are complementary in that the nitrile intermediate in the first procedure is generated by a SN2 reaction, in which cyanide anion is a nucleophilic precursor of the carboxyl group.
    • In the second procedure the electrophilic halide is first transformed into a strongly nucleophilic metal derivative, and this adds to carbon dioxide (an electrophile).
    • An existing carboxylic acid may be elongated by one methylene group, using a homologation procedure called the Arndt-Eistert reaction.
  • Breast Augmentation and Reduction

    • Breast augmentation denotes the breast implant and fat-graft mammoplasty procedures for correcting the defects, and for enhancing the size, form, and feel of a woman's breasts.
    • Each augmentation approach corrects post–mastectomy defects in a breast reconstruction procedure; congenital defects and congenital abnormalities of the chest wall; and aesthetically enhances the natural size, look, and feel of the bust.
    • In breast reconstruction practice, the tissue expander is a temporary breast-implant device used to prepare the implant-pocket (recipient site), as part of a staged reconstruction mammoplasty procedure.
    • Reduction mammoplasty (also breast reduction and reduction mammoplasty) is the plastic surgery procedure for correcting over-sized breasts.
    • Moreover, the correction of gynecomastia (woman's breast) is the analogous, enlarged male-breast reduction surgery procedure, wherein there is no consideration of lactation capability.
  • Bone Marrow Examination

    • Informed consent for the procedure is typically required.
    • The entire procedure, once preparation is complete, typically takes 10–15 minutes.
    • After the procedure is complete, the patient is typically asked to lie flat for five to ten minutes to provide pressure over the procedure site.
    • Acetaminophen or other simple analgesics can be used to ease soreness, which is common for two to three days after the procedure.
    • Patients are also advised to avoid washing the procedure site for at least 24 hours after the procedure is completed.
