The vertebral bone that I think was fractured occurred at C5.

The cervical spine consists of seven vertebrae and is located at the base of the skull. Its function is to support the skull, enabling head movements back and forth, and from side to side, as well as protecting the spinal cord. Each cervical has its own functions. Say if the injury…

Nonstructural scoliosis is caused by an effect, not by the spine but results from poor posture, differences in leg length, or an uneven gait. If…

I was anxiously awaiting the results. My mom trying to mollify me. All the possibilities running through my head, and then the door opened. The doctor spoke and much to my relief and displeasure, gave the diagnosis.

With the songs he learned from his mother and the lyre his father…

On day 7 (October 22) our plant is starting to turn yellow, and on day 19 (November 9) the plant dies. The reason why we would change the elodea plant every week is so the plant doesn’t pollute the water and cause our…
