Neuroma

obstacles in my short 14 year life, but two have stood out he most influential in my life then all others. In this essay I'll tell you about the two that have been influential moments in my life. When I was eight years old my mother had an acoustic neuroma, which is a brain tumor that affects your balance and your hearing. We found out about the tumor when we went to the doctor's office and had us all sit down in his office. He said that the safest thing to do was to take it out. So we did.…

McCluskey, 2008). Research on the sensitivity and specificity of acoustic reflexes in detecting acoustic neuroma has been proven to be poor at the frequency of 1000 Hz and would need an acoustic reflex decay testing to be at 115 dB, which risks losing any residual hearing the patient has. The same study found that using asymmetric audiometric testing was better at detecting acoustic neuromas than acoustic reflex testing(Hunter, Ries, Schlauch, Levine, & Ward, 1999). Another study found that…

were saying because I was trying to process what I was just told a hour ago. My surgeon Dr. Kauffman tells me and my parents that I need to get surgery on June 16th,2015. When I got my surgery I found out that my tumor is an acoustic neuroma tumor. Acoustic neuroma or Vestibular schwannoma tumors are slow growing tumors that grow on the main nerve leading from the inner ear to the brain. Mine grew off my left ear and facial nerve, it was as big as a softball, and was predicted to be growing for…

Post-cholecystectomy syndrome is defined as the recurrence of symptoms similar to those experienced before the cholecystectomy. This usually takes the form of upper abdominal pain (mainly right upper quadrant) and dyspepsia, with or without jaundice. It is defined as early if occurring in the post-operative period and late if it manifests after months or years1,2. The incidence of postcholecystectomy syndrome has been reported to be between 5% and 40% in one study, and the onset of symptoms may…

The American Podiatric Medical Association is making a direct effort to inform members about Health IT and Meaningful Use. A recent analysis of the initial federal incentive payments for Meaningful Use shows that podiatrists make up 12 percent of the total number of recipients; this is substantial considering that this specialty makes up less than 2 percent of Medicare practitioners and physicians. With a podiatry practice generally consisting of a solo or small-group practice that functions…

out neurological findings that could produce vertigo such as cerebellar disorders, multiple sclerosis, and vertebrobasilar disease (Towler,1984). If the person does not have tinnitus, or hearing loss, both cerebellopontine angle tumor and acoustic neuroma can be ruled out (Towler,1984). In addition to tinnitus and hearing loss, if the patient does not complain of a sensation of pressure in the ears, Meniere’s disease can be ruled out. If the patient does not have a worsening of vertigo with…

This technique is now considered as the most effective technique. The recurrence rate in surgeries is low but the complications are high comparing to the aspiration and reassurance. These complications include wound infection, neuroma formation, hypertrophic scar, median nerve, and radial artery damage. Pathophysiology: The ganglion cysts can be uniloubted, or mostly multi lobuted. There is a septa made from connective tissues separate the lobes. Outcome: The ganglion cyst is…

Custom shoe inserts are inserts that are designed to comfort and support your feet. These inserts are crafted especially for you. Prescription orthotics match the contours of your feet and are designed to restore the natural function of your foot. Today, many people suffer from problems such as lower back pain, heel pain, and knee pain, which are caused by poor foot function. Custom shoe inserts re-align the ankle and foot bones to their neutral position, which helps in restoring natural foot…

Podiatry practices are usually small group practices that function independently; therefore, finding a low-cost, easy to deploy EHR software solution is essential. Benefits of Podiatry-specific, Cloud-based EMR Software The reality is that a Podiatrist needs a more focused system than a primary care physician does. The charting features of a Podiatry-specific, Web-based EMR are tailored to your specific needs. This saves you time because all of the information that does not apply to Podiatry is…

body and can provoke the development of brain cancer in the future. According to the research conducted by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, excessive use of mobile phones may lead to the genesis of brain tumors as glioma and acoustic neuroma. This is an issue for those people who are virtually glued to their cell phones ( National Cancer Institute). Another health concern is people’s emotional reliance on cell phones, leading to distress and even physical symptoms when one's…
