The heterogeneous clinical picture is characterized by fever, behavior abnormalities and ataxic gait; the CSF shows typically lymphocytic pleocytosis with hyperproteinorrachia. The treatment is not consistently performed or consensual; the clinical course is usually benign6. No antibodies have been described in association with PMNS. A new form of…

Someone who is good at riding will seem like he is one with the horse. It looks so easy- all you have to do is just sit there, right? The rider can make the horse do anything that he pleases.

The horse will not look bad- he will seem at least five times smarter than you. Who does this stupid person think he is? He thinks he can control a horse…

Signs and Symptoms Symptoms of hydrocephalus differ with age, disease development, and individual variations in acceptance to the illness. For instance, a child's capability to compensate for enlarged CSF pressure and extension of the ventricles varies from a grown-up's. The infant skull can enlarge to accommodate the buildup of CSF because the sutures (the fibrous joints that attach the bones of the skull) have not yet closed. In infancy, the clearest sign of hydrocephalus is frequently a fast…

Since nurse step on the floor the main activity is patient safety and number one priority. Nurse attentiveness at the bedside is for the patient’s safety and in many cases, averts predictable and unpredictable conditions (Nikitas, Middaugh, & Aries, 2016, p.141) or in other hand places patient at risk.

participate in other activities that require muscular strength. Over time, the calf muscle begins to hypertrophy due to fat and connective tissue replacing the muscle. Individual’s with DMD present with a characteristic gait that involve solely walking on their toes. This gait appears due to the Achilles tendon becoming stiff after calf hypertrophy occurs. Along with physical developmental delays, children with DMD suffer from learning and memory developmental delays. These hinderances in…

bears are typically solitary animals. They are generally diurnal, but may be active during the night (nocturnal) or twilight (crepuscular), particularly around humans. Bears possess an excellent sense of smell and, despite their heavy build and awkward gait, are adept runners, climbers, and swimmers. In autumn, some bear species forage large amounts of fermented fruits, which affects their behavior.[1] Bears use shelters, such as caves and burrows, as their dens; most…

Hi Ahemd! Your discussion post is really informative, thank you for sharing such a great information. I agree on your statement that most common injury level of cervical spine are C6-C7. Cervical spine injury is the most frequent injury in all spinal cord injury, shown 55% of all spinal cord injury (Torretti and Sengupta, 2007). The most widely recognized missed fracture in the spine are at C1-C2 and C6-C7, the reason being deficient radiological examination as the body structure systems isn't…
