Ankle arthritis What causes it? Unlike the hip and knee, which are prone to develop primary osteoarthritis, the ankle develops arthritis usually because of a traumatic event. In 70% patients with ankle arthritis there is a history of trauma (ankle fracture or a significant ankle sprain). The second most common cause of ankle arthritis is Rheumatoid arthritis. How to diagnose it? The most common location of pain is anterior which gets worse by walking uphill. Pain caused by going downhill…

ear disorder that cause fluid pressure to build up in the ear. TMJ disorder is problems with the joint on each side of one’s head that is in front of the ear where jawbone touches the skull, and head injuries or neck injuries, as well as, acoustic neuroma, which is a tumor that developed on the nerve of the skull, which goes from the brain to the inner ear that control one’s balance and hearing. But this case of tinnitus only happens on one side of the ear (“Tinnitus”…

Introduction: Cell phones are durable communication devices whose popularity has increased significantly since their first arrival over four decades ago in 1973. Cell phones transmit and receive radio-frequency electromagnetic waves which are the weakest waves in the electromagnetic spectrum with the lowest frequency but the biggest wavelength in the spectrum. This type of electromagnetic radiation is less dangerous than higher frequency electromagnetic radiation at immediate contact as it is…

Thesis: What is significant about being a neurosurgeon? A neurosurgeon is a medical specialist who performs diagnosis or surgical treatment relating to the brain and the spinal cord. They treat disorders such as: acoustic neuroma (a benign tumor of the hearing nerve), angiography (imaging of blood vessels using a certain material for better visualization of vessels), anticoagulant (a medication that prevents coagulation of the blood), etc. To be a neurosurgeon, one must acquire the following…

Research Question: Do the health risks from using cell phones over power the necessity for them in modern times. Introduction: Everyone has been told that mobile phones pose a great health risk to them, and that they are one of the main causes of cancer, but is this really true? Are mobile phones as bad a health risk as we are made to believe? Billions of people around the world are connected due to mobile phones, which means that billions of people face the supposed dangers that mobile phones…

case reports used combinations of lidocaine, Sarapin, B12, dexamethasone, and anti-inflammatory drugs for treatment. This report included 75 patients at a private podiatry office. The diagnoses ranged from plantar fasciitis, metatarsalgia, Morton’s neuroma, and tarsal tunnel syndrome. These patients were also diagnoses with biomechanical causes of foot pain and treatment would include orthotics. These patients were not included or excluded in the report based on demographics of age, weight,…

outer and middle ears can be cleared; damaged eardrums can be repaired surgically; and ossicles affected by otosclerosis can be replaced with artificial bones. Some causes of sensorineural hearing loss can also be improved. For example, an acoustic neuroma can be removed surgically. If there is no cure for the hearing loss (as with age-related hearing loss), a hearing aid for one or both ears usually helps most people, whether the hearing loss is the result of conductive or sensorineural…

The peripheral mechanism occurs after nerves are severed at the site of the amputation, causing neuronal and tissue injury. The proximal portion of the nerve then forms neuromas, abnormal sprouting of nerves, which have increased numbers of sodium channels, leading to hyper-excitability and random neural discharges. (Subedi & Grossberg, 2011). Inflammatory mediators and enzymes also sensitize the nociceptors and stimulate…

When first trying to understand the issues of technology abuse facing children today, we must consider that times aren’t like what they used to be. Just around 10 years ago, children would play outside, ride bikes, play tag, and engage in sports. They were all masters of their own imagination, creating new and enjoyable ways to entertain themselves without costing their families an arm and a leg. But now, todays families are different, and this change has occurred due to technology. Technology’s…
