Median nerve

In the front of a ginormous school, just staring up at the school hanging over me. As I had enough courage to walk inside I pushed through the crowed of people. There was senior party banner that was hanging on inside the school. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to go necessarily because I was a kind of a popular girl. I don't want to mess up my reputation and ruin my education in school, I was a A+ student. There could be fights that could break out of hand. Troublemakers at the school, that are…

Common symptoms of the full can and empty can test are weakness and pain, therefore both tests need to be used to test for rotator cuff injuries. If pain, weakness, or both are present, these tests are thought to be positive. Since pain modifies muscle strength, there is a concern about the reliability of the empty can test.1 This concern arises because of the internal rotation of the humerus results in impingement, therefore potentially decreases the usefulness of the test. With the empty can…

After Joe left the small garret that I shared with Herbert Pocket in London, I decided that I must leave at once to inform Mr. Jaggers of my need to visit Estella back at Ms. Havisham’s house. As I was about to step foot into his office, this young girl wrapped in a scarf with a large floppy hat ran up to me and stopped me in my tracks. She quickly asked me if I wouldn’t mind joining her for tea, and before I had time to reply, she pulled me into a tea shop nearby. As we stepped into the shop,…

Introduction Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a debilitating condition characterized by unilateral stabbing facial pain along the divisions of cranial nerve V. The lifetime prevalence of TN is estimated to be 0.7 per 1,000 people and usually presents between the fourth and seventh decades(1, 2). First line management involves medical therapy, although 10-25% of patients fail to respond to standard medication regimens and some patients may become resistant to medical treatment over time(3, 4). For…

The American Chiropractic Association states that as many as 30 million Americans suffer from lower back pain at some point in their lives. Many of these people live in the Seattle area. Typically, most people with low back pain will make an appointment with their family doctor, which often leads to a prescription of anti-inflammatory drugs. These are known as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or NSAIDs. These drugs can be helpful short-term, but they also come with a myriad of harmful side…

within the face. It occurs when there is a disruption of normal function in the trigeminal nerve, which sends electrical impulses of pain, pressure, temperature, and touch to the brain from the jaw, face, gums, and around the eyes. The disruption is caused by compression or damage to the trigeminal nerve, usually due to contact between the nerves and a nearby blood vessel. This contact places pressure upon the nerve, which leads to malfunction and pain. In most cases, the disorder begins as…

cranial nerve function is an important part of a neurological assessment (Department of Health Sciences, 2014). The brain has twelve main pairs of nerves, called cranial nerves. During a complete neurological assessment, most of the cranial nerves are evaluated to help determine the proper functioning of the brain (Neurological Examination, 2014). Each cranial nerve is paired and is present in each side of the brain. Cranial nerve I (Olfactory) is the sensory nerve of smell. Cranial nerve II…

During WWI poisonous gas was used to break through the front lines, this caused people to die, and live the rest of their lives with health problems like blindness, lung problems, mental issues, or heart problems. During WWII Adolf Hitler set jews in gas chambers. Gas chambers were described as rooms that were airtight in which tons of jews were forced into to be murdered. These chambers then released tons of toxins thus suffocating the jews leaving them to die due to the poisonous gas in the…

What is chemical warfare and why should we care about it? Chemical warfare is the use of toxins as a devastating weapon. So devastating that it falls under the WMD’s or weapon(s) of mass destruction. Although chemical weapons aren 't as prolific as during the WW1, they still pose a real threat. The most recent case and point is in Syria when they used chemical weapons on their own civilians after they were told by the OPCW to destroy them (http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-34212324). But…

the Chinese based conglomerate, Black Canyon Research, had been escalating rapidly. They had an experimental research facility in Osaka, Japan. They were testing an experimental gas for warfare that was supposedly 25 times more powerful than VX nerve gas, and 200 times more powerful than Sarin gas. Employees had reported that the containment tanks were leaking. The government had shown up and told them to shut down their research and destroy all the gas, but they didn't. They finally hired…
