A surface burst generates large amounts of particulate matter, composed of particles from less than 100 nm to several millimeters in diameter—in addition to very fine particles that contribute to worldwide fallout. The larger particles spill out of the stem and cascade down the outside of the fireball in a downdraft even as the cloud rises, so fallout begins to arrive near ground zero within an hour. More than half the total bomb debris lands on the ground within about 24 hours as local fallout. Chemical properties of the elements in the fallout control the rate at which they are deposited on the ground. Less volatile elements deposit first.
Severe local fallout contamination can extend far beyond the blast and thermal effects, particularly in the case of high yield surface detonations. The ground track of fallout from an explosion depends on the weather from the time of detonation onwards. In stronger winds, fallout travels faster but takes the same time to descend, so although it covers a larger path, it is more spread out or diluted. Thus, the width of the fallout pattern for any given dose rate is reduced where the downwind distance is increased by higher winds. The total amount of activity deposited up to any given time is the same irrespective of the wind pattern, so overall casualty figures from fallout are generally independent of winds. But thunderstorms can bring down activity as rain more rapidly than dry fallout, particularly if the mushroom cloud is low enough to be below ("washout"), or mixed with ("rainout"), the thunderstorm.
Whenever individuals remain in a radiologically contaminated area, such contamination leads to an immediate external radiation exposure as well as a possible later internal hazard from inhalation and ingestion of radiocontaminants, such as the rather short-lived iodine-131, which is accumulated in the thyroid.

Explanation:
Answer:
1. Allow observation of internal cavities. = Endoscope (G)
2. Produces three-dimensional images. = PET scan (D)
3. Caused by a parasite. = Infection (A)
4. What the patient reports to the healthcare provider. = Symptom (C)
5. Offers clear and complete image of internal anatomy. MRI (B)
6. Tracks pathway of glucose to detect tumors. CT Scan (H)
7. Measurable finding by a healthcare provider. Sign (F)
8. Heart attack. Acute (E)
1. Endoscope is one of the specialized instruments (particularly, a flexible tube) being used in the hospital in order to detect a patient's underlying condition. This process is known as"Endoscopy."The endoscope allows the doctor to do a non-invasive procedure in order to check the condition of the person's internal cavities. The doctor can see the cavities through the tube's attached camera. This is commonly used to check the condition of the digestive tract.
2. PET scan is also known as Positron Emission Tomography scan. It is one of the imaging tests that a doctor uses in order to check a person's organs and tissues. The person undergoing the test needs to be injected with a dye that contains a radiotracer. The tracer is accumulated in the area that is to be examined within an hour or so. The PET scanner will then show three-dimensional images of the organs/tissues, so the doctor will know whether they are functioning normally.
3. Infection- an infection can be caused by different microorganisms such as parasite, bacteria, virus, protozoan, fungus, etc. A parasitic infection is caused by a parasite. Oftentimes, this infection can go away on its own without any treatment or medication if a person's immune system is strong. However, there are also deadly cases such as Malaria. The parasite can be transmitted to humans when its vector, the mosquito, bites the person.
4. Symptom refers to the experience that the person is having in relation to his disease. This is subjective and only the person knows his symptoms. For example, a person goes to the doctor complaining of a headache and low-back pain. Headache and low-back pain are examples of symptoms. The doctor cannot see nor experience it, but only the patient does since it is subjective.
5. MRI is also known as Magnetic Resonance Imaging. This is one of the imaging tests to detect a person's condition or disease. It uses a large radio waves, a large magnet and a computer in order to get a clear and complete image of the internal anatomy. This is very common in detecting cancers, tumors and other important conditions in the body. It is very important for the patient to remove all accessories (particularly, metal objects) before the scan because the magnet is very strong. The test takes less than an hour or so.
6. CT Scan = this is also known as "Computed Tomography" scan. This uses X-rays and a computer in order to provide an image of a bone, internal organ or blood vessels being observed. People who experienced car accident often have this scan in order to detect signs of internal hemorrhage or bleeding. It can also detect cancer or heart disease. The scan normally takes 15 to 30 minutes.
7. Sign refers to what the doctor can observe in a patient. This is opposite to symptom because it is objective. For example, a patient complains of "feeling hot" then the doctor takes his temperature and finds out that he has a 38 degrees Celsius temperature. The symptom here is what the person feels, "feeling hot," while the sign here is the 38 degrees temperature. The latter is what the doctor observes, then he will conclude his diagnosis from here.
8. Acute Heart Attack = Heart attack is also known as "Myocardial Infarction." This happens when there is a blockage in the artery that supplies oxygenated blood to the heart. The blockage is caused by plaques that restricts the flow of blood. Once the plaques burst, it causes a blood clot and this blocks the artery. An acute heart attack develops suddenly. This means that there is no warning. Sometimes these attacks can be caused by infections, allergic reactions, viruses, irregular heartbeats, etc.

Answer:
Timmy is an 8 year old boy who is playing on the play-set in his backyard under the supervision of his mother. Timmy decides that it would be fun to jump from the top of the play-set onto a nearby tree. He falls and receives a cut on his arm. The mother, instead of scolding him for his reckless behavior, makes sure he is okay, treats his injury and makes him a cup of hot cocoa because she feels bad that he got hurt.
