The status of this case is that we are awaiting the applicant to undergo an EMG of the upper extremity as recommended by the Panel Qualified Medical Evaluator, Dr. Stephan Choi, in his evaluation report dated December 14, 2016. Please recall, Dr. Choi requested an EMG of the right upper extremity so he can rule out possible carpal tunnel release. He opined if the EMG of the right upper extremity were to come back normal, the applicant would be deemed permanent and stationary. However, since

Given the patient’s initial presentation and pain level during the evaluation, soft-tissue mobilization and myofascial release was performed. The patient was positioned supine with one pillow and a bolster placed under bilateral lower extremities. Extreme stiffness in bilateral sternocleidomastoid muscles consisted as the main focus of the initial treatment. The manual strokes were applied with moderate pressure in a superior to inferior fashion along the direction of the muscle fibers. Treatment

1. Explain the pathophysiology of bacterial meningitis Bacterial meningitis is an acute inflammation of the meninges and the CFS. The introduction of antimicrobial therapy has had a manifest result on the progress of the prognosis. The introduction of the vaccine against Haemophilus influenza type B, Hib vaccine and streptococcus pneumoniae has steered to huge changes in the epidemiology of bacterial meningitis. The inflammatory response to the infection tends to increase CSF production with a moderate

Persistent pain in the dento-alveolar region of unknown cause has been named in different ways in the scientific literature. It is still worth mentioning “phantom tooth pain”, a term coined by Marbach et al. that has been abandoned in the last 15 years. Marbach considered this painful condition merely as a deafferentation problem. His opinion was that whenever a tooth was denervated (not only extracted), the brain cortex would reorganize and occasionally a phantom sensation expressed as pain would

7th cranial nerve, also known as the facial nerve is what controls most of the muscles of the face. This facial nerve stems from the brainstem between the pons and the medulla, and controls the muscles of facial expression. The function of the 7th cranial nerve is to express taste sensations from the tongue and oral cavity. It also supplies preganglionic parasympathetic fibers to several head and neck ganglia (citation). In the Bell’s Palsy condition, there is damage to the facial nerve that controls

The Brain and Cranial Nerves      One of the most complex and fascinating things in the human body is the brain. The body is “capable of almost everything, but it would not be possible, without the brain receiving information, and analyzing the information.”      The brain is aware of its surroundings, via input from the spinal cord and cranial nerves. Cranial nerves with sensory functions allow us to smell and see. Nerves with both motor and sensory

For the past couple of years, I have witnessed first hand the effects that trigeminal neuralgia does to the human body. My mother was diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia in 2010. She was suffering from the pain of the condition for more than two years before she was correctly diagnosed at MD Anderson in Houston, Texas. My mother always explained her pain as worse than childbirth, and that is because she has had four children. It caused my mom to have multiple sleepless nights, an aching jaws, constant

The voice is an individual’s main mode of communicating his or her wants, needs, and emotions among other things. Each individual’s voice is different, depending on whether the individual is male or female, and ranges in pitch and loudness. The voice is something that defines an individual as a person by helping shape the person’s overall personality and attitude. However, there are many factors that may cause an individual’s voice to be affected. According to Verdolini and colleagues (2006), the

front of your ears. Parotid glands make spit (saliva). Sometimes, the parotid glands develop infections or growths (tumors) which can block the flow of saliva from the gland. This can cause swelling. Sometimes, tumors can get in the way of the facial nerve that passes through the parotid gland. In some of these cases, parotidectomy is necessary. Parotidectomy is surgery to remove all or part of a parotid gland. LET YOUR CAREGIVER KNOW ABOUT: • Allergies to food or medicine. • Medicines taken, including
