Soft tissue injuries of the handCarpal tunnel Syndrome. Carpal tunnel syndrome is an arm disorder that causes tingling, numbness and other indications. Carpal tunnel syndrome is associated with a pinched nerve in the wrist. Factors that can contribute to the carpal tunnel syndrome are; patterns of hand use, anatomy of one's wrist or certain health risk factors. Bound by tendons and bones, carpal tunnel is a thin pathway that is situated on the palm flank of the wrist. That passageway protects the main nerve from the hand and tendons that bend the limbs. The compression of the nerve is what produces ...

Introduction

The integumentary system is made up of the skin together with other accessory structures including nails, hair, as well as glands. The four major functions that are done by the integumentary system include protection, production of vitamin D, sensation, and temperature regulation (Bailey). The integumentary system offers protection of the body against ultraviolet light and abrasion while preventing dehydration as a result of water loss and entry of pathogens into the body (Seeley, Stephens and Tate).
The skin possesses numerous receptors that make it also function as a sensory organ. The receptors are usually referred to as free or encapsulated ...

Euthanasia is synonymously known as mercy killing, physician-assisted suicide or terminal sedation. The word has its origin in the two Greek words Eu (well) and Thanatos (death). Euthanasia is legal in some countries and is practiced to relieve the pain and suffering of the patient. However, it is greatly opposed by religious, philosophical and social bodies in some places.
The patient, his or her spouse or the family may ask for euthanasia. But, the approval of euthanasia is only granted if the patient experiences remitting pain and extreme physical debility. One of the most discussed arguments against euthanasia ...

Introduction

Pain is an essential part of the body’s defense system which is perceived as an unpleasant feeling. Pain produces a quick warning to the central nervous system to start motor response as a minimization of harm. Lack of pain perception is dangerous can cause grave problems such as Auto-amputation, corneal scarring or self-mutilation. Researchers in the medical profession have distinguished between pain and what is known as nociception. Nociception occurs when signals get to the central nervous system as a result of the activation of nociceptors (Svokos & Goldstein, 2009). Nociceptors are special sensory receptors which relay information regarding tissue damage. Pain ...

Executive Summary
Lower back pain is a common symptom prompting clinic visits in the University. The standard treatment is pain-relieving medications and rest from exertion but current trends in health care point to the increasing use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) in the treatment of lower back pain. The use of CAM is motivated by patients’ desire to avoid the side effects of frequent pain medication use. However, many CAM modalities only result in short-term pain relief which decreases patient satisfaction with these treatments.

Injuries in Sports

Background
In basket ball, the ankle and the knee stand out as some of the most commonly injured body parts perhaps due to the fact that the sport involves a lot of running and jumping which renders the sport one of the most dangerous. While running or jumping, the knee and the ankle are served with the responsibility of supporting a characteristic enormous amount of load. In this light, it is valid to say that the success of any athlete involved in basketball as a sport is overly dependent on his ability to avoid overloading the knee and the ankle, Common ...

Introduction

Dextropropoxyphene is a drug used as a painkiller. The mild opioid can alleviate long-term or short-term pains. Dextropropoxyphene is an opioid that is a morphine-related drug. It acts on the neural system in the spine and the brain and hence relieves pain. The drug has been available for use by blending it with other drugs or on its own. In the recent past, use of the drug has been rejected by several countries, among them Australia, because of safety reasons. In Australia, the drug has been recently in March 2012 following discoveries that Dextropropoxyphene can cause changes in the electrical activity ...

Introduction

The studied muscles on which this report is based make part of the skeletal muscles group; they are connected to the bones by “tough cords of tissue” (NIH 2012) which are called the tendons and, as they contract, they pull these same tendons and the bones attached, causing movement. These movements are of voluntary nature, one being capable of controlling them as one wish to. The action of these muscles can be described as being initiated on the body’s standard or anatomical position and used for specific movements that one requires for a given activity. Some of these actions ...

Alternative Medicine

One of the nonstandard care practices widely used today is acupuncture. Acupuncture is a practice that involves the insertion of needles at particular areas on the skin to treat pain or a disease (Tseng & Streltzer, 2008). Originally, acupuncture was a model practice in China more than two decades ago. In the USA, the use of acupuncture borrows heavily from the medical traditions of China, Korea and Japan. The most common practices involve inserting a needle (the size of hair) into the skin.
Research shows that acupuncture can reduce vomiting and nausea when carried out after a surgery (Eshkevari & Heath, 2005). Moreover, acupuncture can ...

Article Analysis

Millennium Laboratories’ case is a complex investigation conducted in tribunals for two charges, different, but linked in the same time. The company was sued by former employees for misconduct and intimidation, but is also facing a health care fraud allegation. The journalistic analysis conducted by Duff Wilson in a Reuters material reflected the case somehow biased, accusing the company, and this because there is little reference to how Millennium defended its case. Nonetheless, this situation can be explained, because the company has declined to comment on the allegations or on the various accusations for mistreatment, intimidation or bribery, which indicates that the ...

Based on the initial symptoms, the patient most likely suffers from hypothyroidism or low thyroid hormone disorder. Further clinical tests and an examination of the family’s medical history reveals that the particular disorder could be Hashimoto’s disease; also called Hashimoto thyroiditis. Hashimoto thyroiditis is classified as an autoimmune disease. In autoimmune disease, one's immune system attacks the body’s tissue specifically the thyroid gland (Skugor & Wilder, 2006, p.2). By attacking the thyroid gland, the disease reduces the gland’s ability to produce thyroid hormones of substantial quantity. This condition leads to hypothyroidism. Thyroid hormone deficiency presents with ...

Concept of Community

Introduction
In recent years, organizations that are of benefit to the community have been on the increase, which has been attributed to the different advantages that organizations have over others (Gardener & Fitzpatrick, 2003). These organizations are firmly based on the visions and goals that have been set by communities; thus benefiting the community in the long run. The organizations are considered to be of benefit to the community because they involve members of the community in their general planning and management (Diamond, 2001). Also, this helps to move the communities towards change that the people within the communities ...

ABSTRACT

According to literature, women on average use physician services much more often than men, both in regular appointments and in ambulance related care, leaving men at a serious lack of reporting of health problems. This report, meant for the Department of Health, details the reasons behind this kind of behavior, and gives possible solutions for increasing the rate at which men go to the doctor. The reasons for this development include sociological and psychological factors, such as the male need to seem self-reliant and to have a higher tolerance for pain. The fixed role hypothesis also says that, usually, women have ...

Rhabdomyolysis

Introduction
In normal conditions, muscles grow when certain activities cause the muscle fibers to become damaged and then subsequently regrown and developed through a series of cellular process. This activity occurs during the body is at rest. In other words, the continuous breakdown is normal for growing muscles as it allows them to become bigger through the introduction of myrofibrils, or muscle fibers.
However, there is a condition when the muscle fibers break down rapidly due to a number of reasons, and then they do not regrow at a corresponding rate. This condition is known in medical circles as ...

Executive Summary

The subjects of suicide among the terminally ill and the severely despondent is one of the most heated in the international community. Though various states have proffered the immoral nature of intentionally killing someone even though that person is suffering from an incurable and aggressively illness that medical science cannot cure as of yet, it must be noted that patients that are suffering in these situations do not automatically request for the operation of processes that will ultimately result in the quickening of their death. Research literature shows that though it is correct to hold that there are ...

Suffering from addiction is an aspect of life that everyone can relate to.

I. INTRODUCTION, BACKGROUND and AIM
Sickle cell anemia is a devastating genetic disease which causes premature death. Sickle cell disease (SCD) is caused due to single amino acid change (glutamine to valine at position 6) in β chain of hemoglobin molecule, which causes the hemoglobin molecules to aggregate. These aggregated hemoglobin molecules make the red blood cells (RBCs) stiff and deformed (sickle shaped). These deformed cells block the normal blood flow. Although this disease is well-characterized, but no long-term treatment 1 is still available for this disease.

Gender roles are the differentiated social and behavioral norms that are associated with individuals of a particular sex. Social and cultural factors assume a central position in defining gender roles. This is mainly in terms of interpersonal relationship and personality of a person, meaning that the level of socialization is highly dependent on the biological and physiological differences. Gender roles differ in reference to cultural and historical context. The society expresses the idea of gender identity in terms masculinity, femininity and variant genders or a gender-neutral behavior, clothing, hairstyle and body characteristics. This paper analyzes the impacts of macro and micro influences in ...

Introduction

The topic of animal testing has been a debatable subject for quite a length of time. The determination of whether it is worth taking the life of an animal in a bid to treat any human disease has been surrounded by multiple ethical, social, legal as well as moral questions. The controversy between the arguments from both sides, those who support and those who oppose animal testing, has been aggravated by the fact that animal testing still remains a common practice in many laboratories across the world. The claims that some animals are similar to human beings have been proven wrong by several ...

An Overview

As per the theory, the behavior of breaking the law should be considered as something that takes place when a la breaker makes a decision to take the risk and violate the law after surveying one’s personal surroundings which may include personal values, the desire for money as well as learning experiences. Also situational factors come into play which includes the affluence of the neighborhood, how well an area is protected, and the efficiency of the local police. So before a reasoning criminal decides to get into action, he definitely takes time to evaluate the apprehension risk, adversity of the punishment ...

In deterrence theory it is believed that people weigh the gains and consequences of violating or obeying the law. We have two classifications of deterrence theory: general and specific deterrence theory.
General deterrence prevents general population crime. This is because one is punished as an example to the rest. This is because one has not yet performed the crime; the punishment is to show the horror of what would happen if they committed the crime, thus deterring them from even the thought whereas the pictorial representation of the horror of reccurpesion is very fresh and clear. For example ...

Introduction

The urinary bladder is a hollow organ in the pelvis that stores urine for a temporary period until it is passed during urination. Bladder cancer is a common cancer affecting the urinary system; and bladder is the most commonly affected cancer site in the urinary system. Most of the bladder cancers originate at the urothelium, which is a layer of mucosa lining the bladder (cancer.net). It is very common in the regions of the Americas, Europe, and Asia. Squamous cell carcinoma is the second most common carcinoma. Approximately, 2% of bladder cancers are adenocarcinomas and 0.3% to0.7% are small cell carcinomas(Medscape).

Issue 15: Can Machines Be Conscious?

Before I state my position, it’s important to define what “consciousness” really means. In my understanding, consciousness is the ability to feel or be aware of what is going on around you. So, rephrasing the question: Can machines be aware of what is going on around them? The answer is NO; machines are not aware of what goes on around them or what they do. They simply act because they have been programmed to do so.
Many clever things can be handled by machines (just like the human brain) based on the programs written by people and ...

Introduction to Physiology: Respiration

There are a lot of factors that determine the rate and depth of human respiration. Some of the factors are influenced by the conscious control part of the brain while others are not. Different organ system functions leads to unique pattern of respiration and even though respiration is controlled by the autonomous nervous system, people play a part in the control of breathing. Respiration is affected by certain chemicals which include oxygen, carbon dioxide, acid, epinephrine and acetylcholine (Marieb e.tal 2010).

Whether or not oxygen concentration affects respiration remain a debating topic in the scientific realm. This is because the human body ...
