Since the retina can't work properly under these conditions, you could permanently lose vision if the detached retina isn't repaired promptly. The possible risks for retinal detachment include being severely nearsighted, having had an eye injury or cataract surgery, family history of retinal detachment. Symptoms of retinal detachment include flashes of light, seeing "floaters" (small flecks or threads), darkening of your peripheral (side) vision. There are many ways to reattach a retina which include laser (thermal) or freezing (cryopexy), Pneumatic retinopexy, Scleral buckle, and Vitrectomy. Depending on the complexity of the retinal detachment, various combinations of vitrectomy, buckle, laser and gas bubble may be used to repair the retina.
Brainspotting is all about locating, activating, and processing Brainspot. Another main difference between EMDR and Brainspotting are the tools used during the sessions. EMDR does not typically use tools, but Brainspotting is the most effective when it is done with BioLateral Sound CDs. BioLateral Sound CDs use healing sounds that enhance the brain’s ability to process information by alternately stimulating the two hemispheres. The healing sounds enter the brain through the auditory nerves in the ears while the eardrums are vibrated bilaterally.
Dementia Written by Christopher Hodge Introduction With dementia now being an internationally recognised issue facing many people as they become older, although dementia is not limited to the older generations, there has been an influx of campaigners and organisations aiming to raise awareness of the syndrome. There are many ways in which different individuals are seeking to raise awareness with an aim to rid the stigma that surrounds dementia. It is often heard that people with dementia are vastly misunderstood and are wrongly labeled with differing, yet inappropriate labels. If there is not one thing that has come apparent from the awareness, it is that statistics tell us of dementia only being diagnosed to under half the populous
Braille is used for the blind as they used the raised dots on paper to read and are quite often found on the boxes of medicine. (Royal College of Nursing, Online, 2010) The use of a hearing aid is very beneficial and will improve hearing which helps the communication to be clear but will also give a better quality of life to the patient ad they can now hear better. However they will not work if the patient has totally lost their hearing so using visual things such as writing down words and imitations will be useful as they are using the strengths of the patient to overcome the barrier to
Discoid rash: red scaly patches on skin that cause scarring. The acronym to remember the 11 symptoms is SOAP BRAIN MD. Some people, especially those with antiphospholipid syndrome, may have SLE without four criteria, and also SLE may present with features other those listed in the criteria. Treatment Being a chronic disease with no known cure, the treatment of SLE is symptomatic. In essence, this involves preventing flares and reducing their severity and duration when they occur.
Justice also supports measures that can assist in alleviating any financial burden or provide resources for additional assistance to help with the cost of healthcare (Rich & Butts, 2014). Heart failure can cause a financial burden, which can create fear in seeking further treatment (Chen-Scarabelli et al., 2015). If additional treatment is essential to maintain the quality of life, justice can be served by utilizing available resources to aid in financial assistance, such public health (Chen-Scarbelli et al., 2015). From 2005-2009, there was an increase in the implantation of left ventricular assist devices with the support of Medicare and Medicaid primarily paying (Chen-Scarabelli et al.,
Information about an objects colour, shape and movement is processed by the occipital lobe, then passed on to the parietal lobe for a complete 3D picture. A loss of nerve cells in the occipital lobe could result in: * The person having difficulty seeing what an object is despite both eyes being in good condition. The parietal lobe has two parts, the dominant side and the non-dominant side. The dominant side is responsible for things we have to put together in order or structure, so reading, writing and calculation, and body sense. A loss of nerve cells in the dominant side of the parietal lobe could result in: * Apraxia (an impairment of learned purposive movements) which reflects a lack of co-ordination and forgetting of movements required to achieve a goal.
However, children and young adults can also experience this disease as a result of number of rare diseases and conditions. For example, in Batten Disease, unfortunately, Alzheimer’ disease can be observed in many facets, many age ranges, in many different aberrations. The intensity ranges from mild to almost extreme of the worst possible. This disease seems very difficult to treat in the world of Batten disease accompanied with all the paroxysm and psychological issue that the children are going through. (Taylor, Richard 2007) Some of the reasons that why awareness is important for parents about this disease are 1) Low awareness results in higher medical costs 2) Awareness facilitates timely medical arbitration 3) Awareness diminishes disgrace and further facilitates timely intervention 4) Awareness of risks involved can lower the incidence of this disease 5) Awareness speeds up scientific progress.
Technology has also made it easier for doctors to offer more treatment options to their patients as well as treating patients faster by having the ability to go inside their medical records. By having access to a patient’s medical record a doctor can avoid ordering tests that are not needed, and this will allow them to treat the patient faster. So as you can see technology plays a big part in
potentially overlapping parts such as WM, GM and CSF.MRI is one of the common ways to visualize brain structure. Automatic segmentation of MR images is very useful for research and clinical study of much neurological pathology. The MRI scan is more reliable than CT scan for diagnosis because it does not affect the human body as it does not use any kind of radiation. MRI shares a common advantage with CT of high spatial resolution images but without ionizing radiation exposure. It possesses good contrast resolution for different tissues.
