The brain while expanding pushes the skull outward in the same perpendicular to the closed structure. This will be marked by the occurrence of 'papilledema' 'pseudoproptosis' as also 'optic atrophy.' (39) This results in the orbital socket being smaller and the eyes getting 'protoposed'. The intercranial pressure is bound to be high. The symptoms in such cases will be optic atrophy, head ache and papilledema. Or in the case of 'Crouzon's disease' where occurs a marked hooked nose and a frontal lobe which makes the disease also called the parrot head disease. Surgery in both these types of situations become mandatory as the result of the cranial pressure could result in death. (39)
Regarding the facial surgery discussions always centre on perfecting features and cosmetic changes. The debate must rather be on the goals of the surgery and the overall benefits that can accrue to the patient in terms of anatomical benefits. (7) in cases of adults and children different considerations of etiologies exist. For planned intervention and rehabilitation etiology is important. It is crucial that the etiology of the patient and associated problems be determined including the severity of the paralysis. In some cases etiology is apparent as in the case of a 'temporal bone fracture' or in 'partoid' cancer. Where it is obscure further tests may be necessary. In the absence of proper verification it may result in the deterioration of the patient's condition. (5)
All medical problems, and the time of onset of the paralysis is important along with the condition of the internal 'audiary canal'. MRI scan is helpful in diagnosis. A front cranial nerve examination and procedures like the 'hypoglossal facial anamostosis' need be conducted in cases where severe injuries in the cranial area are noted." (Park (5) p. 140) While assessing the anatomy of the patient, the forehead must be analyzed for cosmetic reasons. The degrees of the 'ptosis' of the brow along with eye examination are warranted. Regarding the eye it is important to observe for Bells disease, and the closure rate of the eye. Corneal anesthesia and dry eye are called Bad by Gulbor. Nasal functions and 'valve collapse' with or without 'septal' deformities must be noted. The depth of the 'septal' muscles and location are important. Similar examination of the mouth with particular notice to the mouth, upper and lower lips, dysfunction, dentures, drooling, biting etc. ought to be observed and recorded. (5)
Other tests that form the part of etiology are electrophysiological tests that help measure muscle dysfunction, and the maximal simulation test that determines the amount of facial nerve degeneration. Electromyography is used to find the 'depolarization' potentials of fibers and motor units. The patient may also be subjected to the nerve excitability test. Through this test we can obtain the current in amps that is necessary to obtain minimum 'facial movement'. (5) a difference to 3.5 amp between affected to the normal side will indicate a poor chance of recovery. To test the muscles an electrode stimulated record of muscle function is obtained by the 'electroneurography'. CT scans of the temporal bone helps in surgical planning. (5)
In short the necessary test for etiology may be summed up as "The history of the patient, Topognostic tests- Including hearing, stapes and schimers's tests, electrical tests - MST, EENG, and EMG tests, Radiographic study of chest, CAT Scan, magnetic resonance scan, and many laboratory tests needed for a surgical evaluation of the individual including lumbar puncture, WBC count, Mono spot tests, test for 'sarcodisis' and so on." (May, Schaitkin (6) p. 183) Bell's palsy is the most noted etiology, but there must be a diagnosis of exclusion all infections and congenital and developmental influences, and other causes must be ruled out. In a differential diagnosis for bell's palsy the diagnosis of exclusion works for 40% cases, the "chronic 'otitis media' may occur due to nerve compression from granulation tissue, or 'herpes 'zoster' 'oticus' which causes hearing problems with vertigo, and 'lyme disease' that forms after inoculation, and tumors - like temporal bone leukemia, fractures, and 'Melkwerson -Rosenthal Syndrome.'" (Kahan (10) p. 30)
In pediatric cases a surgical scoring system to asses the severity of the RRP disease is needed to track the course of the disease in the infant. (9) a case study of the etiology of a 3-day-old male child with left facial paralysis had the following history: The maternal history prior to delivery was normal, and the delivery was a 'vaginal delivery' without the use of forceps. There was mild facial asymmetry and no record of family inheritance of the disease. The physical examination did not show any abnormalities...
" (Walker, 1999) the gas crisis caused that particular market sector to almost completely vanish, and the need for increased efficiency shifted power in the automotive industry away from designers and into the hands of engineers. Detroit tried one last time to introduce small cars to the American public, but this attempt was far less successful than all others before it. GM created the Chevrolet Vega, and Ford had the
Muscle Grow Case Qs The commerce clause grants the federal government the right to regulate interstate commerce, which the online sale and interstate shipment of Muscle Grow by Texas-Based Health Corp. definitely constitutes (U.S. ConstitutionArticle 1, Sec. 8, Clause 3). A determination of whether or not this constitutes commerce is not really at issue as it quite clearly is concerned with the sale and transport of goods across state lines, however
Preventing this 'snowball effect' of fatigued muscle, leading to leakage of calcium, leading to a weaker muscle that must work harder, leading to increased fatigue, would mean an increased life expectancy for these patients. From an economic standpoint, the resultant increased life expectancy of a treatment derived from this study, would likely result in an increased cost to society. Direct items, such as increased payments in Social Security benefits, will place an
Bellinger, a.M., Mongillo, M., & Marks, a.R. (2008). Stressed out: the skeletal muscle Ryanodine receptor as a target of stress. Journal of Clinical Investigations. 118(2): In this report prior the researchers addressed overall present understanding of muscle fatigue. For decades, the mechanisms underlying muscle fatigue and weakness were the emphasis of numerous studies. The dominant theory was that lactic acidosis caused muscle fatigue. However, dysregulation of sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ release has
Tennis The number of movements carried out in any sport is known as technique. This technique is the one that is behind a backhand stroke or a forehand stroke. This technique can go for all strokes, swings and basically all the movements involved in sports. This technique is a result of the different forces, whether they are external or internal, acting on the body of the player (Bahamonde, 1992). In order
In a comparative study, Klein and colleagues (1994) studied the overall fat metabolism ratios for endurance-trained and untrained men during low-intensity exercise routines. They sample a total of 10 men, 5 who were endurance-trained athletes and 5 who were untrained. They started off by calculating and analyzing the overall lipid activities and muscle activities while all 10 subjects were resting before the exercise routines began. They also calculated the free
