So naturally, our group started calling him Walt. A month later, after progressing through Walt’s back, thorax, and abdomen, it was time to dive into the retroperitoneal space. On almost every other day I was asked to stand back and read the…

what it was meant to do? If you knew what it was for, you probably didn’t know the science behind how it worked. MRI stands for magnetic resonance imaging.

The therapy session focused on correcting the posture of a mother who was 4 months pregnant and was experiencing low back pain because of excessive lordosis. The goal was to relieve the pain while walking and doing chores by making her aware of the muscle transverse abdominis and use it when doing her activities. Limb-loading while doing the activation of TrAs was used as a progression of the exercise. The reference used for determining the exercises and breakdown of actions appropriate for the…

A twenty-nine year old male suffered a tear of his right acetabular labrum when he experienced a swift anterior force from an opponent during a basketball game. Additionally, the patient has experienced symptoms of femoral acetabular impingement (FAI) on other occasions throughout his basketball career. Due to the severity of the injury, doctors used a surgical procedure to repair the labrum and instructed the patient to avoid full weight bearing (WB) activity for at least 3-4 weeks.…

Many people have probably heard of osteoporosis, and may understand it to be something along the lines of weaken bones, but may not understand the significance. Osteoporosis is characterized by decreased amount of bone density, and this loss of bone density allows for bones to be much weaker and even break easily. To avoid osteoporosis in the elderly, it is recommended to take calcium and vitamin D supplements, because it is much harder for the elderly to exercise, get sunlight, or even to…

Q-1. Describe the function of hemoglobin in blood and describe how pH can affect the function of hemoglobin and the amount of oxygen in blood. Be sure to relate the lab results you obtained to this discussion. Hemoglobin’s main function is to carry oxygen throughout the human body. As the oxygen molecule is dissolved in the blood it combines with hemoglobin forming oxyhemoglobin. Oxygen released from oxyhemoglobin increases as the blood pH levels decreases. Deoxyhemoglobin can also bind to the…

Different autopsy methods are useful in different situations. I have previously mentioned Rokitansky method which involves examining the organs in situ “a condition sometimes mandated by a restrictive autopsy consent or severe time limitations” (Finkbeiner 35). But there are other methods that involve removal of the organs including Letulle, Ghon and Virchow. Both the Letulle and Virchow start the same way: a Y incision is made and the skin is reflected from the chest and abdomen. If the…
