During a vaginal delivery, muscles involved in the process are more likely to squeeze out fluid found in a newborn's lungs which is a benefit because it makes babies less likely to suffer breathing problems at birth. Babies born vaginally also receive an early dose of good…

can’t. My whole body is getting controlled… by nothing. I continue to run. Where am I going? I think to myself. Flowers hit my face, and scratch my arm as I’m proceeding. All of a sudden, I come to an immediate stop. My feet ache so badly. My feet muscles contract, and exhaust. The wind blows in my face, while pushing my maddened hair behind my shoulders. I close my eyes and take a deep breath, and let it out. When I open my droopy eyes, a small pool of crystal clear water lingers in front of…

From receiving feedback from Dr. Sims in the fall semester and Professor Hapke in the spring semester of 2015, I have applied it to my studies this semester. Learning how to release my head and not to be so stiff with my limbs allowed me to explore a kinesphere around me that I did not think existed. Working on releasing the tension in my neck has allowed me to notice how fluid my movements appear rather than looking as if I am scared to let go and release. After exploring…

Definition and Pathophysiology The leading cause of PVD/PAD is atherosclerosis of the arteries. Atherosclerosis occurs when deposits of lipids and cholesterol obstruct and harden the arteries. This leads to progressive narrowing of the artery. When this takes place in the peripheral vessels, blood flow id compromised to the lower extremities, and is known as PVD/PAD. There are actually three types of Peripheral Vascular Disease. Type 1(10-15% of patients) involves the aorta and ileac…

Introduction The thoracic cavity has complex networks of lymphatics which have a fundamental immunological function protecting intrathoracic organs such as the lungs, pleura, oesophagus and mediastinum. These networks drain interstitial fluid from the lungs, chyle from the gastrointestinal tract, and white blood cells and other immune components (Brotons et al., 2012). Thoracic lymphatics are involved in several diseases that most thoracic surgeons are concerned about. The most important…

central nervous system (CNS) contains the brain and spinal cord, while the peripheral nervous system (PNS) carries information between the CNS and other organs. The PNS consists of 12 pairs of cranial nerves that extend from the brain into the head and upper body, in addition to 31 pairs of spinal nerves that branch out from the spinal cord throughout the entire body. The PNS contains of all of the nerve tissue except the brain and spinal cord. The peripheral nervous system has two main…

Introduction Spinal stenosis is a condition which involves the narrowing of the vertebral column, either in the spinal canal, intervertebral foramina, or the intervertebral spaces. The condition is degenerative and widespread, affecting approximately five in every one thousand people (Hsiang, 2015). This report aims to describe the anatomy of the vertebral column and spinal cord, relating changes in anatomy to the development and presentation of spinal stenosis. Within this discussion, the…
