Spinal Cord Injury – Conditions – For Patients – UR …

Posted: Published on October 10th, 2018

For more information, please visit our Integrated Spine Care site The spinal cord is a bundle of nerves that carries messages between the brain and the rest of the body. Acute spinal cord injury (SCI) is due to a traumatic injury that can either result in a bruise (also called a contusion), a partial tear, or a complete tear (called a transection) in the spinal cord. About 250,000 to 400,000 individuals in the US have a spinal cord injury. About 60 percent of these cases are 30 years old or younger. The annual incidence of spinal cord injury in the U.S. is 40 cases per million, or 12,000 new cases each year. The number of people in the U.S. in 2008 living with a spinal cord injury is approximately 259,000, with a range of 229,000 to 306,000. SCI results in a decreased or absence of movement, sensation, and body organ function below the level of the injury. The most common sites of injury are the cervical and thoracic areas. SCI is a common cause of permanent disability and death in children and adults. The spine consists of 33 vertebrae, including the following: * By adulthood, the 5 sacral vertebrae fuse … Continue reading →

Parkinson’s Disease: Symptoms, Causes, Stages, Treatment

Posted: Published on October 9th, 2018

What Is Parkinson's Disease? Parkinson's disease is a fairly common age-related and progressive disease of brain cells (brain disorder) that affect movement, loss of muscle control, and balance. Usually, the first symptoms include a tremor (hand, foot, or leg), also termed a "shaking palsy." The majority of people develop Parkinson's disease after age 60 (although a few patients like Michael J. Fox develop it at an early age of about 30 and boxer Muhammad Ali at age 42). Men are about 1.5 times more likely to develop it than women. In general, the disease slowly progresses with more pronounced symptoms developing over many years. Although a few patients, especially those who develop it in their younger years may have more rapid symptom development, symptoms slowly increase over many years. Treatments may reduce symptoms in many patients. Three key symptoms that develop early in Parkinson's disease are a tremor, usually on one side of the body (hand, foot, arm, or other body part) when the person is at rest. The second symptom is rigidity, or resistance to movement when someone tries to move the person's joint or when the person has difficulty going from a sitting to a standing position. The … Continue reading →

Cardiac Remodeling and Its Significance – verywellhealth.com

Posted: Published on October 5th, 2018

Cardiac remodeling is a term that refers to changes in the hearts size and shape that occur in response to cardiac disease or cardiac damage. When doctors talk about remodeling, they are usually talking about the left ventricle, though occasionally this term is applied to other cardiac chambers. When you remodel your house, that is often considered a good thing. The opposite is true with remodeling of the heart. In general, the greater the degree of ventricular remodeling, the worse the patients outcome is likely to be. When the left ventricle is damaged -for instance, by amyocardial infarction(heart attack) or by cardiomyopathy-changes often occur in the size and shape of the ventricle. The ventricle tends to become enlarged, its general shape becomes more globular and less elliptical, and the muscular wall of the ventricle often becomes thinner. This remodeling occurs due to mechanical stress on the heart muscle produced by the underlying disease process. In the early stages of a heart attack, some degree of remodeling can help the ventricle compensate for the damage that has occurred. But if this initial remodeling process continues, and the changes in the size and shape of the ventricle become more exaggerated, cardiac function … Continue reading →

Cerebral Palsy Cerebral Palsy in Children – Symptoms …

Posted: Published on October 5th, 2018

What is cerebral palsy? Cerebral palsy (CP) is a broad term that describes a group of neurological (brain) disorders. It is a life-long condition that affects the communication between the brain and the muscles, causing a permanent state of uncoordinated movement and posturing. CP may result from several problems, such as lack of oxygen to the brain, genetic conditions, infections, brain hemorrhage, severe cases of jaundice, and injury to the head. For more information about cerebral palsy, please call 314.454.5347 or 800.678.5437 oremail us. Many cases of cerebral palsy have unknown causes. The disorder occurs when there is abnormal development or damage to areas in the brain that control motor function. It occurs in approximatelythree out of every 1,000 live births. Risk factors for cerebral palsy include the following: The following are the most common symptoms of cerebral palsy. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. The child may have muscle weakness, poor motor control, or have shaking, also called spasticity, of the arms or legs. Muscle stiffness in the form of stiff legs or clenched fists may also be seen. Cerebral palsy is classified according to the kind of motor function the child may have, including the following: Children … Continue reading →

Hypothalamus – Anatomy, Nuclei and Function | Kenhub

Posted: Published on October 5th, 2018

At the core of any well-oiled machine, there is a busy engine that keeps it going. The hypothalamus is at the center of a plethora of physiological processes including, but not limited to, thermoregulation, osmoregulation and hormonal regulation. It also works closely with the pituitary gland to modulate endocrine activity based on the bodys physiological demands. The purpose of this article will be to evaluate the gross anatomical organization and vascular supply of the hypothalamus. Additionally, the article will look at key anatomical relationships to other structures, some associated neuronal pathways and the function of different nuclei of hupothalamus. The human hypothalamus and its nuclei Recommended video: Medial view of the brain Structures seen on the medial view of the brain. The images show a midsagittal section of the brain. The left and right lateral walls of the third ventricle are divided by an anteroposterior depression known as the hypothalamic sulcus. It runs from the anterior tip of the fornix between the interventricular foramen of Monro superiorly and the anterior commissure inferiorly to the posterior commissure (superior to the beginning of the cerebral aqueduct of Sylvius). This depression separates the thalamus (superiorly) from the hypothalamus (inferiorly). Anterior (preoptic) hypothalamic area … Continue reading →

Cardiac Surgery – Ventricular Assist Devices (VAD)

Posted: Published on October 4th, 2018

A ventricular assist device (VAD) is a mechanical pump that's used to support heart function and blood flow in people who have weakened hearts. The device takes blood from a lower chamber of the heart and helps pump it to the body and vital organs, just as a healthy heart would. (For more information about how the heart pumps blood, see the Diseases and Conditions Index How the Heart Works article.) A VAD may be used if one or both of the heart's lower chambers, the ventricles (VEN-trih-kuls), don't work properly. You may benefit from a VAD if your ventricles don't work well due to heart disease. A VAD can help support your heart: The basic parts of a VAD include: a small tube that carries blood out of your heart into a pump; another tube that carries blood from the pump to your blood vessels, which deliver the blood to your body; and a power source. The power source is connected to a control unit that monitors the VAD's functions. The control unit gives warnings, or alarms, if the power is low or if it senses that the device isn't working right. Some VADs pump blood like the heart … Continue reading →
