The carotid artery is close to the surface of the neck and can be injured by blunt trauma. Both the carotid and vertebral arteries can be injured by rapid or violent motions of the neck or when…

At this very moment, there are over 5,400 species of mammals living on Earth, every one of them unlike the others. Humans, or Homo sapiens, are one of these numerous, utterly unique animals that inhabit this planet. We contain a vast amount of qualities that set us apart from all others organisms alive. One of the chief significances of these differences is the fact that humans are the only mammals that are permanently bipedal. We were not always able to walk on two legs, but thousands of years…

Cervical spondylotic myelopathy is a degenerative disease of cervical spinal. The onset is usually insidious, with long periods of fixed disability and episode of worsening of events are taking place. Concerning to the pathophysiology of cervical spondylotic myelopathy, the injuries which are frequently repeated to the spinal cord are caused by static mechanical factor, dynamic mechanical factor and spinal cord ischemia. These factors are responsible for affecting the spinal cord through…

Spondylolysis is defined as a structural defect that involves the breaking down of the vertebra (Hockenberry & Wilson, 2015). Symptoms of this condition include lower back and lower limb pain. In fact, spondylolysis is one of the common causes of back pain in adolescents, particularly young athletes. This injury most often occurs on children and adolescents who are involved in sports that place repeated stress on the lower back. Furthermore, in some cases spondylolysis can lead to…

Scientist shouldn’t test products on animals because it could hurt animals and it can possibly kill them.

The animals can suffer from pullouts during preclinical implantation on young animals, leading to high morbidity. Human and animals are very different, which testing human tools on animals should not be allowed. Testing on an animal the results will be…
