incidence of cervical canal stenosis in football players with recurrent burner syndrome. The combination of disk disease and cervical spinal canal stenosis may lead to an alteration in normal cervical spine mechanics that may make these athletes more prone to chronic burner syndromes.” (Levitz) According to reports Wilson had cervical stenosis, disc removal and spinal fusion all of which the American Journal of Sports Medicine can contribute to chronic burner syndromes.

confrontation, and then later has him held down and performs an invasive and unnecessary spinal tap and then electro-shock therapy on him.

She manages to hold back her anger at Taber for disrupting her ward, showing her self-control; then she uses her position and the authority it grants her to have the orderlies assist her with the spinal tap and doctors assist her with the electro-shock…

require transplanting cells generated from human embryonic stem cells. These diseases include traumatic spinal cord injury, diabetes, Duchenne’s muscular dystrophy, vision and hearing loss as well as heart disease. 2. Stem cell research can also potentially in the future help to treat medical problems like Birth Defects, Parkinson’s Disease, Replace or Repair Damaged Organs, Alzheimer’s Disease and Spinal Cord Injuries. With the proper treatment of these diseases individuals will get significant…

intermittent periods of relief, followed by relapses as he tried to increase his activity level. Unsatisfied because of his persistent symptoms, the athlete independently sought chiropractic care four months post injury. Chiropractic care consisted of spinal manipulation and electric stimulation for 12 treatments and resulted in intermittent periods of improvement but no long-term relief. Six months post injury, the athlete was seen by a nonsurgical sports medicine physician. The physician…

size continued to increase throughout the hominid line, some of the influencing factors, in addition to natural selection, for increased brain size are: bipedalism enabled early hominids to explore new environments, the use of simple tools and manipulation of resources increased cognitive ability, a higher protein diet promoted brain growth, and changing climates required new thinking methods in order to adapt and…

This project will be a quasi-experimental cross-sectional case-control design to explore differences in knowledge and beliefs in managing patients with LBP between physical therapists and physicians. Subjects will be invited to participate in the study, which will involve completing an education and experience survey and an examination that assesses their level of knowledge in managing nonspecific LBP. Physical therapists and family practice physicians will be invited to participate in this…

stem cells can cure many ailments that cannot be reversed with existing treatment and those that even lead to permanent damages of the human body. Existing studies have shown that stem cells can help to cure macular degeneration, Parkinson’s disease, spinal cord injuries, and certain cardiovascular problems (Young, 2014; Björklund et al., 2002; Hodgson et al., 2004; Keirstead et al., 2005). Advances of stem cell research has greatly increased the potential for uses…
