Functional Electrical Stimulation in Stroke Rehabilitation

Age-related changes in the spinal column produce a degenerative process known as spondylosis. Cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) is associated with changes in spinal column resulting in direct compressive and ischemic dysfunction of the spinal cord. Some symptoms, such as motor and sensory abnormalities, have been related to this dysfunction.1 Genetic, environmental, and occupational factors influence in the development of this condition, affecting not only old people, but also a spectrum of different ages, being a big source of disability and affecting negatively quality of life. 2 Clinical findings in cervical spondylotic myelopathy can be subtle, such as reduction in ...

It was in January 1986, and Everett’s family were travelers on Carnival's journey ship "Occasion." While strolling along a traveler pavement on the Lido deck of the boat, Mrs. Everett stumbled and fell, maintaining wounds to one side shoulder and upper limb. The boat reached the shore the following day when Mrs. Everett visited the doctor who prompted her to go back to their place to be treated. This family eventually flew back to Pennsylvania where Mrs. Everett was admitted to the hospital (Wyatt 147). That stuff which she stumbled on remained a metallic limit spread for a ...

Innovative Foreign Product as Business Opportunity in the US

United States has been credited with many innovations both in products and services. It is known for its technological and medical inventions that have contributed to upgrade standard of living and have provided immense service to mankind. However some innovative ideas that did not originate in US have considerable potential both as business opportunity and philanthropic initiative if imported and implemented in America. One of such inventions is the ‘Jaipur Foot’ – a prosthetic leg that was invented in India and has benefitted many since then. Prosthetic limbs are available in America too but what makes the Indian innovation unique ...

Introduction

There are two main attributes of the centre of gravity (COG) that pose a huge impact on the stability of organisms. The location of the COG is determined by the shape of the body. As such, as the same body is assuming different forms, the position of the COG keeps varying. An individual who bends his/her legs is likely to lower his/her GOG position. This, together with other things, leads to higher stability. As strange as it may sound, at times, the COG does lie completely outside the body itself. For instance, if the body is unoccupied the COG ...

Introduction Death, as a form of punishment, is being practiced even in the earliest days of human civilization. The people of ancient Mesopotamia, during the time of Hammurabi, have been observed to perform death sentences on certain transgressions and immoral acts, as determined by their codes . Similarly, the Hebrews has also been using death as a capital punishment for several transgressions under their law. The traditional Law of Moses, which can also be read in the Christian bible, is, in fact, a relic of the age old tradition of exacting death penalty that has been practiced for ...

Background research Artificial limbs (arms and legs) or the prostheses are intended to perform the degree of the normal function to the amputees. The mechanical devices enable the amputees to walk or to continue using the hand(s) as normal. According to research, artificial limbs date back in 600 BC when armorers created the first prostheses using cumbersome and inflexible iron. Artificial hands intricate imitations of the real hands. Amputees themselves started making their limps after losing such parts. Research shows some amputees lost arms and legs during civil wars and accidents. Indeed, the twentieth century has seen ...

Parental Overreliance

Strategies The writer used many literal terms in her story such as satire which is the use of humor and exaggeration to ridicule people with the intentions of criticizing their stupidity particularly with the social problems affecting them. For example, she says, “I tore my 91-year-old father limb from limb with my hands in the town square; I believe no jury of my peers would convict me. Indeed, if they knew all the facts, I think any group of sensible, sane individuals would roll up their shirtsleeves and pitch in (Lho, 2012, para. 1).” Here, the writer is trying ...

Secrets of the Mind by V.S. Ramachandran Secrets of the Mind with V.S. Ramachandran The secret functions carried out by our brain first came into the attention of Dr. Ramachandran while examining the case of an amputee, Derek Steen, who lost his right arm above the elbow in a car accident. His condition garnered a curiosity in Ramachandran when he (Derek) reported that he had felt tingling and stroking sensations in his right arm (that was removed surgically) while shaving the left side of his face. This opened an opportunity for Dr. Ramachandran to study phantom limbs in detail. ...

Introduction

In the year 2015, Wang, Doleschel, Wunderlich, and Heinen published a paper in the Journal of Medical Systems [1]. The paper was on a wearable wireless ECG system that was based on the novel 3-Lead electrode placements. After carrying out an experiment for the 3-Lead electrode placements, it was discovered that the distance between the electrodes could further be reduced for efficiency. A smaller sized sensor node being powered by a rechargeable battery would then be developed based on the newly identified electrode positions. A dynamic method of controlling power is also automatically installed in the sensor node for ...

The distrust between East and West may be as old as the confluence of the two parts of the world themselves. After all, it was during his attempt to conquer India that Alexander the Great fell ill with the fever that was the only thing that kept him from world conquest (Biography.com Editors). The ongoing war between the feverishly fervent establishment of Islam and the coolly complacent secular-Christian West is only becoming more and more entrenched by the news cycle, as the West seems to have forgotten that it’s only been a few centuries since its leaders were ...

Ridley Scott’s Gladiator released in 2000 explores a number of important issues that are not limited in time or in space. This is not just a story that could have happened in the Roman Empire with a Roman military general only. It is a universal story about family values, loyalty, justice, friendship and a lot more. One of the main themes of the film is the struggle for fairness. Gladiator advocates the idea of a regime without totalitarianism and argues against the dictatorship in any form. One of the primary forms of inequality in the Roman Empire was ...

Abstract

As the aging population in the United States and other similarly developed nations across the globe continues to burgeon, the health significance of the aging population in these nations continues to increase. In 2008 alone, about 28-35% of those aged over 65 years were reported to fall every year with the proportion being greater at 45% for individuals aged 70 years and over in the US. The proportion of hospital admission owing to fall for people who are aged over 65 years ranges from 1.7 to 3.0 per every 10,000 individuals in the universal population. Hip fracture, upper ...

Introduction

The sensitivity of health information creates the need to for proper protection. However, the emergence of technology has proved to be a major impediment in the fight against information insecurity. It is critical to understand that several factors that have been attributed to the insecurity of information have mainly been caused by human behaviors. Therefore, the security experts are under the threat of losing their mandate due to uncontrolled behavior by humans. It is important for every practitioner to understand that certain guiding principles govern the practice of nursing due to the handling of critical information about the patients ( ...

1.0. Introduction Entrepreneurship is both willingness as well as capacity to set up and manage a business. Therefore, merely having a desire to take an initiative in this regard does not suffice, but the willing individual should also complement it with appropriate skills to satisfy the criteria of ‘capacity’ as well. Certainly, it involves polishing inborn traits and developing required set of skills through consistent learning and getting influenced (Gartner, n.d.; Gartner & Edward Elgar Publishing, 2016; Keister, 2005). This is a self-analysis report dealing with my personal approach to the matter in hand. Currently, I have taken the General ...

The Constitution states that due process shall be and should be observed at all times, either in criminal or civil cases. Due process can either be substantive or procedural. Substantive due process is contained in several branches of law and refers to the government’s interference with an individual’s exercise of rights. Usually, it involves acts, matters or issues which society deems controversial. Examples of issues that have to be settled with substantive due process is the allowance or prohibition of abortion, same sex marriage and any form of state regulation which involves potentially or in any way ...

INTRODUCTION

There is one thing is this world that is guaranteed to every living thing, from the smallest to the largest and from the simplest to the most complex. That singular great equalizer is death, everyone, and everything that lives will die. There are many people who struggle with that reality and in response become preoccupied with what happens after they die. Throughout time millions of people have celebrated hundreds of philosophies and ideologies have worked to explain it, justify and perpetuate beliefs regarding the afterlife (Wallace 1). Most of these explanations do not stem from science, but from religion. ...

Greek mythology abounds in heroic figures and monstrous anti-heroes, and Polyphemus, the son of Poseidon, the god of the sea, and the sea nymph Thoosa, is one of the latter. Polyphemus is first described in Homer’s Odyssey as a terrible Cyclops who eats human beings. However, Polyphemus is a complex character, despite this appearance, and later descriptions portray him in a completely different light. Thus, in Theocritus’s “Idyll XI”, Polyphemus is the main comical character, and in Ovid’s Metamorphose, he appears as a tragic antihero. The present paper will analyze the three accounts of Polyphemus. First, ...

The myth of the Cyclops Polyphemus has changed throughout different Greek and Roman depictions of him. In the Archaic Greek poet Homer’s version in the Odyssey, Polyphemus is depicted as a large, man-eating monster, which threatened the life of Odysseus and his men. In the Hellenistic Greek poet Theocritus’ version of the myth in his Idyll, Polyphemus was humanized. He is depicted as being in love, and singing a love poem to a water nymph and feeling as though he is not good enough for her. Roman poet Ovid mixed these two elements together in his poem, the ...

The benefits of the crusades vs. the benefits of the current terrorist group (ISIS)

Introduction Since the medieval ages, religion has been used to spread acts of narrow-mindedness against others. From the time of the Christian inquisitions and crusades to the current Islamic jihadism and terrorism, this fundamentalist attitude has caused the death of many. At its root, is the selfishness and ambition for power and wealth that rules the hearts of men. Religious organizations are responsible for establishing the moral fiber in the society. They undertake this duty by selling the concept of ‘salvation’. In return, they obtain rent in the form of tithes in order to intercede on behalf of individuals ...

Violation of law without commission of crime and consideration as to intent

It is possible for one to violate the law without necessarily committing a crime. In criminal law, crimes could be classified into crimes of commission and those of omission. While the crimes of commission involve the circumstances where the accused participate actively in the commission of the crime, in crimes of omission, the accused usually have abstained from the delivery of what if often their legal duty conferred upon them through statute or any other operating law. Crimes of omission, therefore, involve violation of the law without necessarily or actively committing any crime. However, in the context of the law, ...

The chicken limb (wings) develops and buds out from the lateral plate mesoderm at typical locations along the sides of the embryo. These limbs grow with regional specification that includes distinct anterior-posterior and dorsal-ventral pattern. The limb buds out because of the interaction between the mesenchyme and apical ectodermal ridge (AER). The signals sent from the AER maintain the progress zone in the mesenchymal layer. The progress zone has cell in highly proliferative and undifferentiated state. This knowledge can be used to produce higher number of chicken wings from fewer chickens.

However, the idea is still nascent in most of parts of the world. The leading international stock markets for cross listing are New York, Tokyo and London markets. This paper would tackle two central issues. The first limb seeks to examine advantages and disadvantages of listing companies in different foreign stock markets while the second limb examines issues involved in ...

There is a growing need for the education of healthcare workers, for them to efficiently cover and treat wounds and prevent contamination. Thus, there should be an evidenced approach in evaluating differences in the approach of treatment that medical practitioners use in various spheres. For this, it is important to examine some evidences on the different treatment of wounds that are being used nowadays in healthcare. This is crucial for medical practitioner training, while providing opportunity for developing proficiencies with regards to proper wound care, which may avert undesired patient outcomes in hospitals.

ABSTRACT

Muscular dystrophy disorders are hereditary neuromuscular disorders in which the skeletal muscles deteriorate progressively due to loss of the functional protein dystrophin encoded by the DMD gene. There are many types of muscular dystrophy and they are classified based on the genetic mechanisms involved. Muscular dystrophy symptoms are usually caused by mutations in the link between cytoskeletal and basal lamina proteins since dystrophin is a sarcolemmal membrane protein (Meregalli M, 2013). Loss of ambulation is also an important clinical milestone in the clinical diagnosis of muscular dystrophy. Respiratory muscles, particularly the intercostal and diaphragm muscles are also affected by muscular ...

Introduction

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is a psychiatric disorder in which patients exhibit impulsive behaviour and an inability to fix attention for any significant length of time. Behaviour patterns of such persons are not age-appropriate. This disorder is detected predominantly in children and presents between ages 6 to 12. Diagnosis can be definite only after the condition has existed for a minimum period of six months to a year. The major presenting symptom is lack of attention at school and home study which reflects on academic performance. Clinical diagnosis is based on certain standardized tests – questionnaires for parents as well as children. These ...

The case of Eleanor Ostrowski v Lynn M. Azzara was a case principally regarding the legal significance of a medical malpractice claimant’s pre-treatment health habits. Ostrowski, the plaintiff, consulted Dr. Azzara, the defendant, who was a podiatrist, for an inflamed left big toe. Azzara examined it and diagnosed Ostrowski with a fungal disease on the toenail requiring its removal. She further did a test that revealed high blood sugar level and some peripheral vascular disease. Ostrowski had always been highly diabetic and insulin-dependent, a heavy smoker and obese. Azzara explained the risk of losing the limb if the blood sugar levels and weight were ...

The common adage goes that learning only ends when one goes to the grave. I belong to the school of thought that believes that the brain is an empty slate that is continuously filled with knowledge during the journey of life. I am a good example of a learned mind going by my relatively modest experience in the world of computers. My area of concentration has always been and remains machine learning and computational theory. In briefly commenting on my academic and professional goals, I wish to state the fact that I purpose to pursue academic research and coursework on ...

It is difficult to arrive at a common agreement about the meaning of pain. However, everyone will agree that pain implies physical discomfort. Pain can be in the form of aching, throbbing, smarting, stinging, pinching, pricking or burning. Most people associate pain with a physical injury. It can be a minor injury like a scratch or a major injury like a broken limb. The intensity and duration of the feeling of pain depends upon the seriousness of the injury. When we think of the term pain deeply, we realize that pain cannot be explained in a simple way. There are many types of pain. The understanding ...

- At the end of the first chapter, Chief Bromden states, “It’s gonna burn me . . . finally telling about all this, about the hospital, and her and the guys—and about McMurphy. . . . It’s still hard for me to have a clear mind thinking on it. But it’s the truth even if it didn’t’t happen” (13). What does this mean? Is Broom a reliable narrator? Can you as a reader trust that his perceptions and his version of the story are accurate? Why or why not? Use an example from the book to support your response. Chief Bromden ...

Science states that human beings evolved from the ape- like creatures. Charles Darwin, the proponent of the evolution theory states in his book that there is fossil evidence that show the resemblance in these ancestors and present day human beings. Then one wonders why humans do not have tails, or better still, why some humans develop tail- like structures. Science has it that over time, all living things change and adapt to that change in a way that suits their living environment at any particular time. It is not surprising to state that in the next fifteen million years, human ...

Question A: Justification for shift into the new market

The reasons given by the directors to justify the shift into a new market can be seen in different perspectives. However, in overall, the main reason that justified the move was the poor performance of their business in their initial area of operation. This is perhaps explained by the fact that the Ghanaian market was nascent and had hardly grown sufficiently to necessitate the information services the company initially offered. In that context, it is imperative to appreciate the need for the company to profit so as to offset its loan while at the same time being able to pay ...

Martin Luther King Jr. Contributions

A Separate Peace is Gene’s story to tell, of course. The entire plot is a flashback, as he waxes eloquent about his time at the Devon School. When the novel first opens, he appears as an alumnus coming back to the site of his adolescence. This gives the reader the sense that the narrator has some greater wisdom along with a healthy perspective about his time at the school. However, from the beginning, it is clear that Gene seems just as insecure as an adult as he was as an adolescent. Indeed, his main concern is that nothing may have ...

Phantom Limb Syndromes

Introduction Most people who have had amputation would have experienced a phantom limb; it is a sensation that the limb is actually present, and in some cases there is a feeling of pain. There is a lot of empirical evidence to suggest changes in cortical topography following amputation. “With the advent of non-invasive imaging techniques such as MEG (magneto encephalogram) and functional MRI, topographical reorganization can also be demonstrated in humans, so that it is now possible to track perceptual changes and changes in cortical topography, in individual patients.” A feature of the human brain is the multiplicity of specialized areas, ...

What is Machiavelli’s View of Political Power? Is the Prince an Immoral Text?

Indeed, the Prince is a seminal treatise on governance and the concept of the nation state. In the treatise, Machiavelli provides an illuminating conception of the state and governance. In his composed and combative approach, Machiavelli offers a viewpoint that essentially departs in a radical manner from what at that time was the typical conception in the mindset of the societies in question. The brief of this paper shall be to briefly examine Machiavelli’s view of political power and by extension assess whether the Prince is an immoral text. While the former task requires a discussion, the latter may as well be ...

Summary

A salamander’s limbs are smaller and slimier than those of people but they are not different from those of human. Its limbs are unique in the world of vertebrates because they can regrow from a stump after an amputation. This ability has been a wonder for the humans since no scar is formed on the skin where the stump as it would in humans. The human body’s healing mechanism is not very different from that of the salamander but the amphibian shows a unique divergent healing strategies. When the salamander limb is amputated, the blood vessels contract immediately limiting bleeding ...

Stigma is a common phenomenon is the contemporary world. Goffman thinks it affects almost everyone at some point in their social life (Ritzer and Stepnisky 149). While there is no consensus on the accurate definition of the term stigma, it is generally understood to mean the negative feeling that engulfs an individual who is trapped in a wide gap between their actual self and their virtual self. According to Goffman, social stigma is the gap that exists between that which a person ought to be – virtual social identity – and that which they actually are – actual social identity (Ritzer and Stepnisky 149). Goffman ...

Body integrity identity disorder

Body integrity identity disorder, commonly abbreviated BIID and also known as AID (amputee identity disorder), is a psychological disorder where one feels that their actual physical form does not match with their idea of how they should look like and feels that they would look more appealing and happier living as amputees (Steven, 12). BIID is normally accompanied by the desire to amputate healthy limbs so as to achieve one’s desired appearance. One finds a part of the body being not appealing to them and fantasizes how they will feel or appear without the part. Though the disorder has been ...
