Cerebral Palsy is one of the most common movement disorders‚ especially in children. Approximately 2.1 per 1000 births are diagnosed with this disorder (CDC 2013). Causes of cerebral palsy range from preterm birth and birth complications to poor genetics to hypoxia or inflammation in the newborn brain. Since many causes of cerebral palsy occur prenatally rather than postnatally or perinatally‚ and given that it is hard to isolate any one of these factors as the cause‚ it is very difficult to determine

I. INTRODUCTION Background and rationale of the study: One of the leading cases of musculoskeletal trauma is fracture. Fractures are any break in the continuity of the bone. It usually occurs when the stress placed on a bone is greater than the bone can absorb. Muscles‚ blood vessels‚ nerves‚ tendons‚ joints and other organs may be injured when fracture occurs (Nettina‚ Sandra B. 2006). It can be caused by metabolic bone diseases such as osteoporosis‚ or as a result of direct force when

Cerebral Palsy Cerebral Palsy is caused by a brain injury or brain malformation caused before‚ during or after birth‚ which is when the baby’s brain is under development.As a result of the brain damage a child’s muscle control‚ muscle coordination‚ muscle tone‚ reflex‚ posture and balance could be affected because of this. Can impact the child’s motor skill. In order to prevent your child from having Cerebral Palsy you have to be careful with birth injuries. In some cases‚ Cerebral Palsy cannot

(2010) performed a randomized study to examine the effects of vibration therapy in children with cerebral palsy (CP). The investigators pursued effects on bone and muscle in this population. The criteria for inclusion were children with cerebral palsy 6 -12 years old (most likely to show response for bone mass accrual due to their young age)‚ children with Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS)

A. Effects on catecholamine release and reduction of cerebral metabolic rate Cerebral hypoxic injury is known to be associated with a massive catecholamine increase in central and peripheral norepinephrine concentrations are commonly seen with cerebral hypoxic injury. Catecholamines may impoverish outcome from cerebral ischemia‚ possibly by stimulating central _2-receptors (Figure 2.20). Neuronal damages are results of icreased norepinephrine due to the elevation of metabolic demand and alteration

MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION Myocardial infarction (MI) or acute myocardial infarction (AMI)‚ commonly known as a heart attack‚ is the interruption of blood supply to part of the heart‚ causing heart cells to die. This is most commonly due to occlusion (blockage) of a coronary artery following the rupture of a vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque‚ which is an unstable collection of lipids (fatty acids) and white blood cells (especially macrophages) in the wall of an artery. The resulting ischemia (restriction

Myocardial Infarctions” by Rahel Alemu‚ Eileen Fuller‚ John Harper and Mark Feldman it has become ostensible that smoking cigarettes increases the risk for acute myocardial infarctions. While smoking is a major risk factor in coronary heart disease as well as one of the major predictors of leading to myocardial infarctions. However there was not an awareness that smoking lead to different types of myocardial infarctions as in the difference between an anterior or an inferior myocardial infarction. This
