M6A3: Pain Management for the Obstetric Patient Erin Johnson Reproductive Health Helene Wallingford August 10th, 2014 There are three stages of a pregnancy which start at conception and last until six weeks after the birth of the baby. The stages include antepartum, intrapartum, and postpartum. Antepartum can be described as the period before childbirth, this would start at the time of conception until labor starts. Intrapartum is the labor stage of pregnancy. Intrapartum starts from

invaluable in decreasing plaque buildup and; thereby, lowering the curvature of the penis in men suffering from the painful situation known as Peyronie's disorder. ALCAR has additionally been found to be neuroprotective in opposition to peripheral nerve injury of the penis, which can also be brought about by way of aggressive sexual pastime and may just minimize the total sensitivity of the

What is Complex Regional Pain Syndrome? Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), previously known as Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome (RSD), is a chronic neuro-inflammatory disorder (Sebastian, 2011). This disorder is characterized by persistent, on-going pain and disability. According to the Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome Association (RSDA), up to two hundred thousand people in the United States are affected with the disorder every year (“Telltale Signs and Symptoms of CRPS/RSD,” n.d.)

their benefits and risks will help you in your decision-making during the course of labor and delivery Epidural anesthesia is a regional anesthesia that blocks pain in a particular region of the body. The goal of an epidural is to provide analgesia, or pain relief, rather than anesthesia, which leads to total lack of feeling. Epidurals block the nerve impulses from the lower spinal segments. This results in decreased sensation in the lower half of the body. Epidural medications

Team – Based Learning: Case Study on John Stillmann John Stillman, a thirty-two year old gymnastics instructor, was presented to the clinic with complaints of muscle weakness in the face that comes and goes. Symptoms have progressed over the past two months to include tired jaw, difficulty swallowing, diplopia in the evening, increased weakness in his limbs and shortness of breath. Physically visible, John has mild ptosis in both eyelids and his smile is a bit off. Patient John Stillman portrays

The authors adhered to the PRISMA guidelines(16) in the preparation of this systematic quantitative review. Randomized and quasi-randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that examined the analgesic effects of adding SNB to FNB following TKA were reviewed and evaluated using a predesigned protocol. Literature search Two of the authors (F.W.A. and R.B.) independently searched the US National Library of Medicine database, MEDLINE; and the Medline In-Process and Other Non-Indexed Citations databases; the

billions of neurons (cells) that carry out communication throughout the nervous system in order to function. Each neuron also produces neurotransmitters (messenger molecules) that are released by the neuron and may affect the adjacent neurons. When a nerve cell is activated, this produces an impulse which starts in the body, passes along the axon, and ends in the terminal bouton. This causes the release of the neurotransmitters into the synapse, therefore a ‘message’ has been released into the synapse

I knew that I had a battle for the finish ahead of me, for I was going to have the defending champion on my right. Lined up behind our blocks, we kept moving and tried to calm our nerves as the announcer spoke. “In lane four with the fastest time coming into finals, from Hazen, Grace Zimmerman.” Without time to think, the gun went off and we ran the first curve with sheer determination. Once we reached the

heart being the most important part of our body. While they are indeed important, they would be entirely useless if certain substances called neurotransmitters didn’t exist. Neurotransmitters are substances in our body that carry signals from one nerve cell to another. Without these neurotransmitters in our body, we wouldn’t receive crucial signals such as telling our heart to beat. Six of the most common neurotransmitters in our body are dopamine, serotonin, endorphins, norepinephrine, acetylcholine
