Lumbar vertebrae

long and hard before deciding to pursue this career path. I am the oldest of four siblings, and we growing up in a poor neighborhood in rural Vietnam. I was only thirteen years old when my father became disabled as a result of an injury to the lumbar vertebrae. All the rooms in Gia Lai general hospital were full on that day. For my disabled father, there was no room at the hospital. After his initial X-rays, my father was placed in a spare meeting room. I was there every day. Visiting him,…

parameters, MRI has the ability of producing images by different contrast mechanisms giving it tremendous flexibility. Disadvantages of MRI: INFLAMMATORY PROCESS OF THE LUMBAR SPINE Spondylodiscitis: Introduction: Spondylodiscitis is a rare primary infection of the intervertebral disc with secondary infections of the vertebrae. It can lead to osteomyelitis of the spinal column. Predisposing factors include age, multi-morbidity, diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease. Incidence increases…

According to the curvature of the lumbar spine in the sagittal, muscle length can be determined in mm and this can be controlled with the help of Isotrak system. This Isotrak includes pulse module and sensor which can detect the electromagnetic waves. However these are normally attach to skin overlaying spinous process of first sacral (S1) and first lumbar (L1). As per this scenario lumbar curvature can be computed by the angle between source and the sensor. And…

Skeletal remains from Lofkënd, Corinth, Epidamnus, and Apollonia were examined to determine if the null hypothesis of changes in physical activity levels, as evidenced by osteoarthritis in human skeletons is correct. This research will test the null hypothesis that physical activity levels, as evidenced by osteoarthritis in human skeletons, remained constant at Epidamnus, and Apollonia, Albania during Greek colonial expansion (620 BCE-229 BCE). The assemblages for each site was first divided…

patient will be going through. Spinal fusion is a long recovery from thoracic spine to lumbar spine vertebrae. On December 12, 2011 I was in sixth grade when I had spinal fusion. The night…

Rare peroxisomal biogenesis disorder RCDP1, is a genetic disease diagnosed in infants and inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. The disease is caused by a monogenic nonsense or missense mutation in the PEX7 gene of humans, encoding the Pex7p import receptor protein responsible for transporting PTS2 proteins and enzymes from the cytosol to the matrix of the peroxisome. Affected individuals are significantly impaired and do not live longer than a decade, displaying severe learning, growth,…

Introduction Primary renal tumors account for approximately 2% of all canine cancers.11 Tissues of origin include the renal epithelium, renal mesenchyme or embryonal tissue of mixed origin.1 Roughly 10% of primary renal tumors originate from embryonal pluripotential blastema, which include Wilms’ tumor, nephroblastoma, and embryonal nephroma.11 The majority of diagnosed renal tumors occur in older dogs; however, nephroblastoma is unique in that it is seen in juveniles. The mean age for…

meant to be. The exercises taught at Rehab are muscle repetitive exercises that can be taken home and continued after Rehab is complete. Some of the exercises completed at Rehab are pelvic tilts forward and back, holding each time to strengthen lumbar vertebrae, maintaining proper posture while sitting on a yoga ball and holding weights above your head, this strengthens all muscles of the back, and lastly is electro stimulus with alternating heat and ice. Electro stimulus works as a muscle…

A study by Larsen and colleagues (2001) examines the biological impacts of Spanish colonization on indigenous American populations in the Southeast. Researchers addressed how colonization and missionization affected the lives of local populations by analyzing tooth microwear, both skeletal and dental physiological stressors, skeletal morphology, and stable isotope analysis (Larsen et al., 2001:70-73). This study used documents kept at the Spanish missions and examined skeletal remains of the…

Introduction A vertebrate is characterized by the vertebral column as it is part of their axial skeleton. Its main function is to act as a communication pathway between the brain and the body of the vertebrate. Usually, vertebrates have a fixed number of vertebral column, but there are variations in the number of vertebral columns within the cetacean species. Dolphins are vertebrates and are one of the fastest swimming species due to their morphological stability. The morphology can determine…
