Intussusception Intussusception is one of the surgical emergencies that occurs in childhood. “Intussusception occurs when one segment of bowel telescopes into another adjacent segment, causing obstruction” (Nelson & Hostetler, 2002). This form of obstruction can occur at any point in the gastrointestinal tract, the most common location is at the ileocolic. The blockage cause the blood supply interruption to the colon that cause ischemia to bowel. Intussusception also cause heavy bleeding and perforation

Amy stopped to pull her water bottle from her pack, downing the rest of it. She stuffed the bottle back in, next to her full back-up bottle. “I’m happy there don’t seem to be other hikers, but damn is it hot,” said Catherine, hoisting herself up to sit on a path-side boulder, “Let’s rest again.” “Again?” Amy asked, “It’s not even hot, Cath.” She walked up to where Catherine sat, putting her hands on the other woman’s open knees and standing between them. “Yes, again. I’m tired,” Catherine whined

Mechanism of injury: Obstetric brachial plexus palsy is caused by traction to the brachial plexus during labour. In the majority of cases delivery of the upper shoulder is blocked by the mother’s pubic symphysis (shoulder dystocia). If additional traction is applied to the child’s head, the angle between the neck and the shoulder is forcefully widened, overstretching the ipsilateral brachial plexus. Recently, the exact origin of OBPP was again a matter of debate. It was suggested that intrauterine

ur in the forearm region. It is composed in crosses of axons which may produce changes in the innervations of the upper limb muscles, mainly motor part of intrinsic muscles in the hand (MANNERFELT, 1966; KIMURA, MURPHY and VARDA, 1976). Anastomosis in which the branch anastomotic originates proximally in the median nerve and unites distally in the ulnar nerve is known as Median- Ulnar anastomosis type or Martin-Gruber anastomosis. Martin, a Swedish anatomist, in 1763 was the first one to consider

Landmark techniques of axillary brachial plexus block: Perivascular “Single-Injection” Technique The patient lies supine, the arm was abducted about 90° and the elbow is flexed about 90° and externally rotated. The axillary artery, which is usually palpated readily, acts as a landmark. The coracobrachialis muscle runs cranial to the axillary artery. The palpating fingers find the gap between the axillary artery and coracobrachialis somewhat distal to the axillary crease (Fig. 22). The injection

whose axons will travel down the pyramids of the medulla oblongata and synapse on lower motor neurons in the anterior gray horns of spinal cord segments C5-C6. From there, the ventral rami of spinal nerves C5-C6 form the superior trunk of the brachial plexus, which splits into two divisions. We will follow the posterior division that supplies to extensor muscles. This posterior division then runs into the posterior cord from which the axillary nerve is derived. The axillary nerve’s motor end innervates

Kuehn, MS, RHIA, CCS-P, FAHIMA Therese M. Jorwic, MPH, RHIA, CCS, CCS-P, FAHIMA ICD-10-PCS Flashcards The first step in mastering ICD-10-PCS is to become familiar with the terminology, structure and format of this new code set.

Methods Materials Male AP+ Tg Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats weighing 350-450 g will be used in this study. There will be a total of 40 rats which will be divided into four groups with ten in each group. Adult DRG from C1 to L1 will be dissected from rats ≥ 8 weeks of age using standard techniques. Operative Techniques DRG isolation, plating, and axon elongation: Adult DRG from C1 to L1 will be dissected from SD rats ≥ 8 weeks of age using standard techniques.14,32,33 Dissected DRGs are treated in 0.25%

In FSNB group sciatic nerve is blocked first. The operator stand on the side that is to be blocked, facing the patient with the ultrasound machine across the other side of the patient.The patient was put in the supine position, the hip was abducted, externally rotated, and the knee flexed then exposure of the calf and foot. With the patient in the proper position for blocking sciatic nerve by anterior approach, the doppler curved probe (SonoScape®, SSI-6000, China) was placed 10 cm distal to

Introduction The Naegleria fowleri amoeba resides in lakes, rivers, thermal springs, dirty swimming pool and sometimes soil. The amoebas thrive during the summer months due to the increase of temperature(Shakoor, Beg, and Mahmood 258). Naegleria amoeba infects and targets brain tissue of the central nervous system and the neuromuscular system. The central nervous system is responsible for integrating and responding to neural signals. The nervous system and muscles in the body work together to permit
