wound. Medical patients can be stated as any patient who is sick from an illness such as diabetes or a heart attack. There are many treatments a patient needs before they even step foot in a hospital such CPR‚ breathing assistance‚ epinephrine shots‚ spinal stabilization‚ and many more. Before any person can learn these techniques‚ they must first master three fundamentals of the emergency medical system. Education is important in the emergency medical system because workers must know the basics of

medical community after many decades of research. Multiple Sclerosis is a chronic inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system and the spinal cord‚ which leads to patches of plaques in the regions of the brain and the spinal cord (Tenemabaum‚ 2011). The disease affects the body’s neurons‚ the cells of the brain and the spinal cord that carry information‚ which creates thoughts and perception‚ therefore allowing the brain to control the body instead of

medial surface of her right arm. After neurological testing‚ it is determined that she has a compressed spinal nerve on the right side. a. Which spinal nerve (what level) is affected? The level is C5-T1 cervical nerves. The specific spinal nerve would belong to the brachial plexus‚ the ulnar nerve. b. How did you determine/decide it was this level? The ulnar nerve branches off of the medial cord‚ which is connected to the cervical plexus. The figure 13.4 in the book lists the innervation of the ulnar

The Reproductive System What is it? The reproductive system is a collection of organs that work together for the purpose of producing a new life The major organs of the reproductive system include the external genitalia and internal organs‚ including gonads that produce gamete‚ which is a cell that fuses with another cell during conception in organisms that reproduce sexually. Substances such as fluids‚ hormones‚ and pheromones are also important to the effective functioning of the reproductive

Typically‚ the brachial plexus is composed of 5 roots‚ 3 trunks‚ 6 divisions‚ 3 cords‚ and terminal branches. ------------------------------------------------- Roots The ventral rami of spinal nerves C5 to T1 are referred to as the "roots" of the plexus. The roots emerge from the transverse processes of the cervical vertebrae immediately

Gehrig’s disease. The disease itself‚ new therapies and treatments‚ along with a cure are currently being studied by universities and stem cell researchers. ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease which attacks the neurons in the brain and spinal cord that control voluntary movement‚ eventually leading to respiratory failure and death (Kamel et al.‚ 2008). The current course of action for a patient with ALS is physical therapy and‚ if their budget allows‚ cell replacement therapy. However there

This usually occurs in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia. This may also occur in individuals with spinal cord injury in the setting of trauma or multiple sclerosis. Risk factors for urinary incontinence include: • Obesity • Having given
