Nerve

Chiropractic Care? Just as adults, children can visit a chiropractor for musculoskeletal injuries or discomfort, such as neck pain and headaches. In fact, a child’s rapidly developing spine can sometimes encounter subluxations, a term used to describe nerves that are compressed in vertebral…

claimant presented with a mid/low back pain radiating to his feet and toes with numbness. She had nerve block injection in the sciatic nerve, bilaterally. On a follow-up visit with Dr. Johnson dated 07/26/2017, it was noted that the claimant had been having anxiety issues with her thyroid effect on her hair. She stated that it feels like her hair was growing. The claimant had bilateral sciatic nerve block injection on 07/31/2017, 08/07/2017, and 08/14/2017. A peer review by Germaine Rowe,…

his sleep, the narrator finds himself hungover (he mentions bourbon later) and caught between consciousness and unconsciousness. Ellison then indirectly characterizes the narrator confusion through his thoughts: “I sought the meaning of the brash, nerve-jangling sound.” The auditory…

cause of the reactivation is unknown, but it is linked to stress, aging, and or immune impairment. Shingles are characterized by the development of painful vesicular skin eruptions that follow the underlying route of the cranial and or the spinal nerves which are inflamed by the virus. Through prompt treatment of antivirals can speed up the healing process and reduce the risk of potherpetic neuralgia. Shingles are caused by the varicella-zoster…

Via cranial nerves it stimulates responses that are reflexive such as coughing, sneezing, vomiting, and salivating. Some sensory information is passed through this area of the brain from the cranial nerves and then relayed to higher structures of the brain like the thalamus. If this part of the brain does not function properly than the results could be fatal…

muscular atrophy and its characteristics. I will discuss signs and symptoms as well as some treatments for the disorder. Spinal muscular atrophy is a genetic disorder that affects the control of muscle movement. It is caused by a loss of specialized nerve cells, called motor neurons, in the spinal cord and the part of the brain that is connected to the spinal cord. The loss of motor neurons leads to weakness and wasting (atrophy) of muscles used for activities such as crawling and walking. It is…

Amputations have been performed since Prehistoric times and are known as one of the oldest surgical procedures. Although in the Neolithic ages amputations were more brutal, some of the same principles are used in today’s amputations. The earliest writings of amputations date back to the 1700 BCE in the Babylonian code of Hammurabi. It describes the first therapeutic amputation for vascular gangrene. Before anesthesia patients had to be held down during the procedure and were usually highly…

loss. It consists of four distinct cell types and five layers. The dermis, the second major skin region containing strong, flexible connective tissue. It is composed of dense irregular connective tissue. Also, the dermis contains the blood vessels, nerve fibers and lymphatic vessels. The sweat glands and hair follicles reside in the dermis layer. The subcutaneous tissue or the hypodermis is deep to the skin. It is composed of adipose and areolar connective tissue. It is not part of the skin.…

Were the human body compared to a machine by today’s standards, it would be considered something of a marvel that is far ahead of its time. In addition to bringing together multiple systems to work as one cohesive unit, it also has the ability to independently maintain relative amounts of consistency and constancy within and between these systems. Comparatively speaking, if a computer is infected by a virus the user typically has to manually diagnose and remove the virus, but if a person is…

One of the major channels of the spinal cord is the spinothalamic tract; a sensory pathway. It conveys nerve impulses for sensing pain, warmth, coolness, itching, tickling, deep pressure, and crude touch. (Tortora, 2014-01-22, p. 461). Based on that description and as the name implies, information will travel from the region of stimulation on the skin to the CNS, ultimately landing at its destination at the thalamus; thus, making it an ascending pathway. This pathway is further divided into…
