Tylenol or NSAIDS can reduce the inflammation around the spinal area or nerve site (Ullrich, 1). (Ullrich, 1). Injections are also another type of treatment options available (Ullrich, 1). Epidural steroid injections are typically the selection frequently administered. These injections consist of Lidocaine and steroids injected into…

Mathematically Modelling Clinical Resolutions of CSF pressure in Type-I Chiari Malformation and Syringomyelia Patients. Alexander S. Iacobucci, Andrew A. Hassall, Meagan E. Harrington, Korey V. Scanlin Introduction: Type-I Chiari Malformation is a neurological disorder describing the herniation of the cerebellum past the foramen magnum, occasionally resulting in a condition known as Syringomyelia. This disorder causes cysts, known as syrinxes, to form in the spinal cord and result in severe…

Open-Angle Glaucoma According to the authors Ramdas, Wolfs, Kiefte-de Jong, Hofman, and de Jong (2013) of the article "Nutrient Intake and Risk of Open-Angle Glaucoma: The Rotterdam Study", Open-Angle Glaucoma is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that leads to glaucomatous optic neuropathy and eventually, through glaucomatous visual field loss, to the loss of sight. It is also the most common cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. Increased intraocular pressure, oxidative stress, and…

In discussion question 1 I discussed carpal tunnel. Treat carpal tunnel syndrome as early as possible after symptoms start. Take more frequent breaks to rest your hands. Avoid activities that worsen symptoms and applying cold packs to reduce swelling also may help. Other treatment options include wrist splinting, medications and surgery. As you go through your day, keep an eye on how tense your hands are and how much pressure you put on them. If you can back off even a little, your hands and…

This paper introduces the portion of the lower arm called the forearm. The two bones contained within the forearm are described in detail, briefly mentioning their relation to one another. The relevant names and descriptions are depicted of the common bone breaks, dislocations, and the process of acquiring radiographic images in order to identify such forearm trauma. It is pertinent to always get a little more than just the injured bone in the x-ray to rule out something significant just past…

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a condition in which the space within the carpal tunnel in your wrist is reduced and the median nerve, one of the major nerves in your hand, is pinched as it travels through the tunnel. Injury, fractures, rheumatoid arthritis, work stress, repetitive use of hand tools, and things such as factory work, gardening, or typing over a long period of time, are typical causes of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. If your job makes your carpal tunnel worse, doctors often recommend a…

The exam of the right and left shoulder showed tenderness over anterior, posterior and superior aspect of both shoulders. ROM of shoulder joint is restricted in all planes. Exam of the…

Glaucoma is a physical aspect of increased pressure on the optic nerve, which transfers to the brain, identifies it. The pressure could cause the damage for a foundation of vision loss. There is no exact know cause of the increased pressure other than genetics, rather than a combination of factors that could lead to early onset or risk for aggressive progression of the disease (Cascella, Strafella, Germani, Novelli, Ricci, Zampatti and Giardina, 2015). There are theories of risk factors that can…

Compartment syndrome can cause a Volkmann’s contracture. Injury to the arm, including a crash injury or fracture, leads to swelling that presses on blood vessels and decreases blood flow to the arm. When a person has prolonged blood flow it injures the nerves and muscles, causing them to become stiff and shortened. The muscle shortens…

The medication Plaquenil has been prescribed for the treatment of various illnesses that include malaria, rheumatoid arthritis, and systemic lupus. The purpose of this paper is to draw attention to the side effects that can damage the visual system. Even though the side effects cover a broad range, the results on the illness that Plaquenil is prescribed for outweigh the side effects. The side effects will impact individuals in different ways, depending on the dosage and the length of time that…
