Physical Therapy uses many interventions to help patients regain their muscular strength. One modality commonly used is Russian Stimulation. Russian stimulation was developed by Dr. Yakov Kotz in the 1970s. It was used to help individuals increase their muscular strength by using different “variation of alternating currents”. It can be used by those who have had an injury and are trying to strengthen the muscles that were hurt, or it can be used by athletes to increase their muscular strength.…

Objectives: In the present study we made an attempt to evaluate the association of Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor-1(PAI-1)4G/5G polymorphism with oxidative stress markers Malondialdehyde (MDA) and High sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), fibrinolysis marker PAI-1and lipid profiles. Subject and Methods: Blood was drawn and DNA extracted from 90 subjects (46 cases and 44 controls). The 4G/5G polymorphism of PAI-1 was amplified using specific primers. Amplified products were visualized by…

Comparing with other disabilities, diseases, spinal cord injury is a critical disorder in worldwide. Physiology and anatomy The spinal cord(SC) is a grayish-white structure that begins superiorly at the foramen magnum in the skull, where it is continuous with the medulla obolongata of the brain.

The spinal cord is located within the vertebral canal of the vertebral column, which is surrounded by three meninges: the…

Thesis Statement: Although bed rest is a recommended treatment by many obstetricians to prevent preterm birth, there are physical and psychosocial risks, such as the formation of blood clots or increased emotional stress, which may outweigh the benefits to this method of therapy. I. Introduction A. Point B. point II. Bed rest has been a form of therapy to treat complicated pregnancies since the 1800’s. A.

QUESTIONS 1. Discuss the pathophysiology of coronary artery atherosclerosis. Include discussion of risk factors associated with the development of this disease. (10 points) Coronary artery atherosclerosis is most commonly comprised of atherosclerotic fibrous fatty obstructions of the large epicardial vessels, which provide for blood flow and transport nutrients, oxygen, and elimination of metabolic waste products such as CO2, lactic acid, and hydrogen ions. Coronary artery atherosclerosis…

Organ transplants save thousands of lives each year and are considered one of the most significant medical innovations of the past century. Despite that, each year, the number of patients on the waiting list continues to grow, while the number of donors and transplants remains stagnant. One solution scientists are investigating in order to solve this problem is xenotransplantation, a procedure which involves the “transplantation, implantation, or infusion of live cells, tissues, or organs from a…

Coronary artery disease (CAD; also more simply referred to as coronary heart disease) is a specific type of atherosclerosis, which is in turn a form of arteriosclerosis (Dulson, Fraser, LeDrew, & Vavitas, 2011). All of these medical conditions entail the same problem, which hinders proper blood flow of oxygenated blood in the arteries: the sclerosis (that is, hardening) of arteries in the circulatory system (Sclerosis [medicine], 2016). Arteriosclerosis is a general term used to describe the…

mortality, stroke, or MI; an NACE, described as the composite of major bleeding not associated to CABG or major adverse cardiovascular events. Secondary outcomes consisted of each component of the composite outcomes, cardiovascular mortality, and stent thrombosis. Between October 11, 2011 and November 7, 2014, 8,404 patients were randomly assigned to obtain radial (4, 197 patients) or femoral access (4, 207 patients). Of these patients, 3,951 (94%) underwent radial approach, and 4,098 (97.4%)…

can be very major and be very deadly. There are many different types of medical errors some of the most common ones are; adverse drug events, catheter-associated urinary tract infection, injury from falls and immobility, pressure ulcers, venous thrombosis (“9 Most Common Medical Errors”, 2014). Medical errors are very avoidable, all doctors and nurses have to do is take the time needed to make sure what medicine they are administrating is correct or they make sure the patients are moved to avoid…
