What is chemical warfare and why should we care about it? Chemical warfare is the use of toxins as a devastating weapon. So devastating that it falls under the WMD’s or weapon(s) of mass destruction. Although chemical weapons aren 't as prolific as during the WW1, they still pose a real threat. The most recent case and point is in Syria when they used chemical weapons on their own civilians after they were told by the OPCW to destroy them (http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-34212324). But…

the Chinese based conglomerate, Black Canyon Research, had been escalating rapidly. They had an experimental research facility in Osaka, Japan. They were testing an experimental gas for warfare that was supposedly 25 times more powerful than VX nerve gas, and 200 times more powerful than Sarin gas. Employees had reported that the containment tanks were leaking. The government had shown up and told them to shut down their research and destroy all the gas, but they didn't. They finally hired…

her bed with a pipe saying that it helps with glaucoma too. But is any of this true? Yes and no. Glaucoma does not affect the pressure in your head known as intracranial pressure or ICP. What it does affect is the pressure that is put onto the optic nerve, this type of pressure is call intraocular pressure or IOP. There are several different types of glaucoma that can have different symptoms and treatments. Although this happens mostly in adults over the age of sixty, it can happen at any…

Spondylolisthesis can be treated in various options. However, this could also be a painful process to endure. Most common remedy is over-the-counter medications. 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…

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…

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…

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…
