Nerve agent

mainly in the wrists. But people can get it in other areas of the body too, such as the elbows. It is caused by the nerves getting pinched because of repetitive movements that damage the delicate tendons and bones. Since the wrists are fairly small in size, there isn't enough room for the nerves to move freely enough. So some of them get trapped. The constant pressure on the nerves makes the wrists hurt very badly. But the usual treatment that doctors recommend to relieve the pain is surgery.…

splinting and splinting plus local steroid injection in moderate to severe carpal tunnel syndrome; A Randomized control clinical Trial Introduction Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) which defined as “a symptomatic compression neuropathy of the median nerve at the level of the wrist” is considered as the most common disabling neuromascular condition of the upper extremities(1,2). With an incidence rate of 276:100000 per year, it known as the most prevalent entrapment neuropathy, accounting for 90%…

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…

The Pearl of Great Price is an ideal place to learn about agency because it shows us the story of our first brothers and sisters to practice using agency in the flesh, through Adam and Eve’s experience falling from the presence of God and exercising their agency outside the Garden of Eden. Additionally, we learn about how we had agency even before we came to Earth and received our bodies through the knowledge we can gain about our preearth life, and our specific choice to follow our…

her bed with a pipe saying that it helps with glaucoma too. But is any of this true? Yes and no. Glaucoma does not affect the pressure in your head known as intracranial pressure or ICP. What it does affect is the pressure that is put onto the optic nerve, this type of pressure is call intraocular pressure or IOP. There are several different types of glaucoma that can have different symptoms and treatments. Although this happens mostly in adults over the age of sixty, it can happen at any…

Mathematically Modelling Clinical Resolutions of CSF pressure in Type-I Chiari Malformation and Syringomyelia Patients. Alexander S. Iacobucci, Andrew A. Hassall, Meagan E. Harrington, Korey V. Scanlin Introduction: Type-I Chiari Malformation is a neurological disorder describing the herniation of the cerebellum past the foramen magnum, occasionally resulting in a condition known as Syringomyelia. This disorder causes cysts, known as syrinxes, to form in the spinal cord and result in severe…

Open-Angle Glaucoma According to the authors Ramdas, Wolfs, Kiefte-de Jong, Hofman, and de Jong (2013) of the article "Nutrient Intake and Risk of Open-Angle Glaucoma: The Rotterdam Study", Open-Angle Glaucoma is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that leads to glaucomatous optic neuropathy and eventually, through glaucomatous visual field loss, to the loss of sight. It is also the most common cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. Increased intraocular pressure, oxidative stress, and…

In discussion question 1 I discussed carpal tunnel. Treat carpal tunnel syndrome as early as possible after symptoms start. Take more frequent breaks to rest your hands. Avoid activities that worsen symptoms and applying cold packs to reduce swelling also may help. Other treatment options include wrist splinting, medications and surgery. As you go through your day, keep an eye on how tense your hands are and how much pressure you put on them. If you can back off even a little, your hands and…

This paper introduces the portion of the lower arm called the forearm. The two bones contained within the forearm are described in detail, briefly mentioning their relation to one another. The relevant names and descriptions are depicted of the common bone breaks, dislocations, and the process of acquiring radiographic images in order to identify such forearm trauma. It is pertinent to always get a little more than just the injured bone in the x-ray to rule out something significant just past…

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a condition in which the space within the carpal tunnel in your wrist is reduced and the median nerve, one of the major nerves in your hand, is pinched as it travels through the tunnel. Injury, fractures, rheumatoid arthritis, work stress, repetitive use of hand tools, and things such as factory work, gardening, or typing over a long period of time, are typical causes of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. If your job makes your carpal tunnel worse, doctors often recommend a…
