What is considered the left and right side of the engine?
On a RWD vehicle the engine is mounted front to rear. Sitting in the driver's seat, the left side of the engine is on the left side of the car. On a FWD vehicle the engine is mounted sideways. Standing looking at the side of the engine where the transmission is connected, to your left is the left side of the engine. Normally the transmission is mounted on the driver's side of the vehicle, so the left side of the engine would be the side closest to the radiator.On a RWD vehicle the engine is mounted front to rear.

Is the brachiocephalic artery longer on the left side than on the right?
Trick question.... you only have 1 brachiocephalic trunk. It comes off the right side of the aortic arch (right side from anatomical position, or the patient's perspective) and immediately splits into the subclavian artery and the common carotid artery. On the left side of the arch the subclavian and common carotid branch directly off the aortic arch. Hopefully this makes sense.
Which side left or right puts the most pressure on the blood?
The left side: the ventricals.
What artery carries blood to the arms from the aortic arch?
The subclavian arteries carry blood to the arms. The branching from the aorta on the right side of the body is as follows : Aorta- brachiocephalic- subclavian- axillary (located in your upper arm). From those, you have lots of branches. In the left side, the aortic branching is slightly different. Aorta-left subclavian (directly)-axillary The aorta has a third branch on the arch to the left common carotid, which is the reason that the left side doesn't have the brachiocephalic branch that the right side does. The brachiocephalic branch is just the right subclavian and common carotid running together before a branching point. Hope this helps!
Diaphragmatic hernia?
DefinitionA diaphragmatic hernia is a birth defect in which there is an abnormal opening in the diaphragm, the muscle that helps you breathe. The opening allows part of the organs from the belly (stomach, spleen, liver, and intestines) to go up into the chest cavity near the lungs.Alternative NamesHernia - diaphragmatic; Congenital hernia of the diaphragmCauses, incidence, and risk factorsA diaphragmatic hernia is caused by the improper joining of structures during fetal development. As a result, the abdominal organs such as the stomach, small intestine, spleen, part of the liver, and the kidney appear in the chest cavity. The lung tissue on the affected side is thus not allowed to completely develop.Congenital diaphragmatic hernia is seen in 1 out of every 2,200 to 5,000 live births. Most affect the left side. Having a parent or sibling with the condition slightly increases your risk.SymptomsSevere breathing difficulty usually develops shortly after the baby is born, because of ineffective movement of the diaphragm and crowding of the lung tissue, which causes collapse. The reason why this occurs is not known.Other symptoms include:Bluish colored skin due to lack of oxygenRapid breathing (tachypnea)Fast heart rate (tachycardia)Signs and testsThe pregnant mother may have excessive amounts of amniotic fluid. Fetal ultrasound may show abdominal contents in the chest cavity.Examination of the infant shows:Irregular chest movementsAbsent breath sounds on affected sideBowel soundsheard in the chestAbdomen feels less full on examination by touch (palpation)A chest x-raymay show abdominal organs in chest cavity.TreatmentA diaphragmatic hernia is an emergency that requires surgery. Surgery is done to place the abdominal organs into the proper position and repair the opening in the diaphragm.See: Diaphragmatic hernia repair - congenitalThe infant will need breathing support until he or she recovers from surgery. Some infants are placed on a heart/lung bypass machine, which gives the lungs a chance to recover and expand after surgery.If a diaphragmatic hernia is diagnosed during pregnancy (around 24 to 28 weeks), fetal surgery may be considered.Expectations (prognosis)Congenital diaphragmatic hernia is a very serious disorder. The outcome of surgery depends on how well your baby's lungs have developed. Usually the outlook is very good for infants who have enough lung tissue.With advances in neonatal and surgical care, survival is now greater than 80%.ComplicationsLung infectionsOther congenital problemsCalling your health care providerGo to the emergency room or call the local emergency number (such as 911). A diaphragmatic hernia is a surgical emergency.PreventionThere is no known prevention.ReferencesEhrlich PF, Coran AG. Diaphragmatic hernia. In: Kliegman RM, Behrman RE, Jenson HB, Stanton BF, eds.

Watch Out For A Gastric Bypass Hernia?

A gastric bypass hernia is a common complication that may be harder to notice, though no less dangerous if left untreated.

While these hernias are usually easy to treat, one left untreated could become life threatening.
