Symbolism of racism was the first thing that stood out while reading this story. This idea came from the…
A nerve cell is also called a motor neuron, which is made from a cell body, an axon and axon terminals. The cell body contains a nucleus and dendrites that receive the signals and send it down the axon that is covered in myelin sheath. The axon terminals are connected to the muscles creating a neuromuscular junction. This is where the signal is relayed to the muscle. There are two groups of motor neurons: upper and lower. Upper motor neurons are those found in the brain and lower motor neurons…
The principal effect that make people continue smoking is that the drug excites neural activity and speed body functions. In other words, it makes the body feel good every time he/she smokes because the drug (cigarettes) helps keep motivated the body and feel energetic throughout the year. That is why it is really difficult a person stops smoking.

know that as we age our age of motion will decrease, but it can be up to 30% as we reach our senior years. Over the year’s muscle will begin to shorten thus losing their elasticity. For seniors maintain a quality of life stretching needs to be a part of their life. Stretching can increase their joint range of motions, making daily tasks a bit easier to complete. There is no set time of schedule of when stretches should be done, but seniors should aim for 3 days a week, performing each stretch…

My mom started to notice that I wasn’t walking; but instead I was pulling myself across the floor. I also had…
ABSTRACT: Myotonia congenita is a rare genetic neuromuscular disorder characterized by painless muscle stiffness, myotonia and generalized muscle hypertrophy with non-progressive course. We report a case series of children who were presented with myotonia, generalized hypertrophy and characteristic myotonic discharges on electromyography and showed good response to carbamazepine. This case series is aimed to make the readers aware of this rare entity which shows excellent response to treatment…
Keywords: neuromuscular, genetic, chloride channel, myotonia congenita, Thomsen’s, Becker’s, anaesthetic management, general anaesthesia, TIVA, non-depolarising muscle relaxant, laparoscopic surgery Abstract: Administering anaesthesia in a patient with nerve and muscle disorders is tricky due to multiple challenges- the unpredictable effects of neuromuscular blockade and dreaded risk of malignant hyperthermia. We present the management of a case of Myotonia Congenita, with an ovarian dermoid and…
