highly beneficial to your life. In general, these acupressure points feel tender and sensitive to the touch. Go to the appointed location and try to identify them by pressing them with your fingers. MAP – Shen Men Shen Men, located in the triangular fossa, is the most popular point in ear acupressure techniques. It is a Master Point, which are Always electrically active.…

involved with damaged ligaments, fractures and neurovascular damage (Cunningham, 2012). The anterior dislocation, also known as the “subcoracoid dislocation” is when the humeral head (shoulder head) lies anterior and medial to the glenoid cavity (the fossa the humeral head articulates with). With this movement of the bone it causes pain, instability and restricts the joint. Static and dynamic forces prevent this joint from relocating (Cunningham, 2012). Glenohumeral dislocations can be dealt…

: In a written report Ms Greaves outlined that through intervention from the Child Development Agency Courtney was deemed in need of care and protection and was consequently issued with a Fit-Person Order on May 1. 2014. Ms Greaves noted that Courtney who was born in Bronx, New York is a citizen of the Unite States of America. Prior to be placed in care, Courtney lived with his mother who had relocated to Jamaica from the United States of America. Reports are that Courtney’s mother died in…

anesthesia therefore requires a sound knowledge of neurovascular anatomy; in this case the sciatic nerve anatomy and particularly its level of division are of great importance. The sciatic nerve is known to divide at the superior angle of the popliteal fossa, where it gives two main branches: the tibial nerve and the common fibular nerve. Some studies described a significant variability of this anatomy with a division of the sciatic nerve at a higher…

the heart contracts and diastolic when the heart relaxes (Timby 2009, p 199). In addition to this, Miller ( 2010, p 4 - 5) states normal systolic blood pressure is 120 mmHg and diastolic 80 mmHg. I placed the cuff above patient's right anti-cubital fossa when I realized I was not supporting her arm; therefore, I made her comfortable by placing a pillow under her arm. Whilst inflating the cuff, the assessor pointed me out I was holding the manometer on my hand; therefore, I rapidly hung it on the…

glands of the vulval skin are common sites of infection and abscess formation. The contiguity of vulval fascial spaces with other anatomic compartments permits spread of infection from the vulva to the inner thigh, abdominal wall, or ischiorectal fossa.[1] The differential diagnosis of a vulval abscess includes infectious and non-infectious vulval lesions. Among the infectious causes, vulvovaginitis presents mostly as erythema and less likely as asuppurative mass. Necrotising fasciitis though a…

The patient presents an intracranial lesion to the anterior frontal lobe. This will result in damage of the prefrontal cortex causing apraxia and mild rigidity. The prefrontal cortex contains Brodmann’s Areas 9, 10, and 11. Damage to Area 9 is “frontal syndrome” which means the patient rarely follows a plan to completion. Area 10 is involved in judgement, anticipation of consequences, and social intelligence. Area 11 is on the ventral surface of the frontal lobe and incorporates emotions,…

Fetal circulation of blood is much different than that of newborns or adults because a fetus is still receiving nutrients, oxygen and blood from the mother’s placenta, so the placenta does a lot of the work that later on the lungs will take over. There are also other organs that are not fully developed within the fetus and therefore cannot be used or circulated with blood yet, because of this there are specific vessels that direct blood to other areas that in a newborn and adult will not go to.…

Introduction: A fistula is defined as a pathologic tract connecting two hollow organs, or one hollow organ and the skin. Fistula in Ano is a benign condition but may causing considerable distress to the patient and difficulty for surgeons. Fistula in Ano effects approximately ten individuals in 100,000, with male predominance, higher abundance of anal glands is thought to be the partial reason. The infected gland leads to fistula formation after some time, which starts as an abscess. There are…

Introduction Blood pressure is the pressure of the blood in the circulatory system. In the early 1600’s William Harvey began to learn and talk about the circulatory system. The circulatory system is the system that circulates blood throughout the body and also transports materials like nutrients through the body. In 1733 Stephen Hales was the first to know about the concept of blood pressure. He inserted a pipe into a horse’s artery and connected the pipe to a glass tube. He noticed that blood…
