PAIN QUALITY PDAP can present in a broad range of fashion. Diagnosis should not rely on pain characteristics only, as it may mislead the clinician towards other diagnoses such as tooth pain, myofascial pain or even trigeminal neuralgia (11). We summarized features of PDAP pain quality from studies of level 3 and 4 evidence (11) (35) (36). Among the most common descriptors for the baseline pain we find terms as aching, dull, pressing, heavy and cramping. Some patients report an itchy and tingly sensation other than a real pain. Pain exacerbations can be described even more variably and the most reported one is pain felt as intense heat. Clinicians must be aware of possible misleading descriptors for pain exacerbations such as throbbing and stabbing, that can lead towards a vascular …show more content…
Patients quality of life score was lower than in matched healthy controls in most of the domains, particularly in pain-related aspects and social functioning (35). The persistent nature of the pain has a tiring effect and involves every aspect of patient’s daily life (4). In the aforementioned study by List et al., patients also filled out the JFLS questionnaire (Jaw-Functioning-Limitation-Scale). Jaw related limitations are higher in PDAP patients than in controls. Though, according to a case-control study by Baad-Hansen et al., jaw limitations, as measured by the JFLS, are less severe in PDAP patients than TMD patients (43). Vena et al., administered the OHRQoL questionnaire (oral health-related quality of life) to 63 patients having persistent post-endodontic tooth pain. The authors concluded that patients reporting pain on percussion of the affected tooth have the lowest quality of life, as every time their tooth functions, they have pain exacerbation and a constant remainder of their chronic pain
During the 1700’s the Britain Colonist decided to declare war against Great Britain. The war began due to friction between the British colonists over the King's policies. The colonist eventually lost their patience and started a revolution. High taxes, and no religious freedom led the colonist to fight for self government.
An Italian scholar in the 1300s named Petrarch described the time period of 500AD to 1500AD a "dark age" for Europe(Movie Talk; Dark Ages). While most historians agree with this term, many debate that the "dark age" was actually a time of growth and prosperity for Europe. The time period of 500AD to 1500AD consisted of many tragic events such as the Crusades and the Black Death but also good events like the opening of new universities and the Magna Carta. The time was mostly a period of growth and prosperity that still affects our world today.
In the year 1775 my life was turned upside down. I was born in Manhattan, New York, in the year 1760. Life was wonderful for my first 15 years. My father owned a print shop and his business thrived. Everything started to change when my brother, Abiel, and father, Jonas, left to join The Continental Army in December of 1775. Britain's power over the Colonies was troubling many people, including my dad. My father had always complained about the how the Stamp Act affected his business negatively and that the British are no good. When he joined the army, he had to sell off the shop to another family and left my mother and me with a dilemma; how would we support ourselves and our family? At the time of his departure I had a sister named Amity who was nine and a baby brother who was almost one. I had always assumed I would live in wealth until I married. However, nothing was guaranteed. I realized I was going to have to put in lots of effort to get my life back to how it was before, if that was even possible.
From 1754-1763, Britain fought the French and Indian war. Although Britain had won the war, they still had a lot of war debts to pay off. Britain turned to the colonies to pay off their debts by taxing them. The taxes angered the colonists because they believed it violated their rights. Benjamin Franklin had initially proposed the Albany plan of Union to unite the colonies, however this law was rejected by all of the colonial governments. It wasn't until after all of the British laws and taxes that the colonies would unite and write the Declaration of Independence.
John Steinbeck and Martin Luther King, Jr. (MLK Jr.) have both gone down in American literature as some of the most influential authors, but why? Steinbeck was an influential author throughout the 20th century with pieces in many genres. On the flip side is Martin Luther King, Jr., a civil rights leader in the fight against racial discrimination. In order to gain a deeper understanding of the style of these two authors, it is necessary to compare them on the bases of repetition, tone, and purpose.
Exam Essay Historically, women have been excluded from combat roles. On the surface, it is because men, who have always thought of themselves better and stronger than women, believed that females could not handle the responsibility of holding a combat position and women are rupturing the socially constructed gender norms that were set in place. According to Nicole Dombrowski, “no other topic concerning women’s role in war creates as great a debate as the question of women’s active participation in combat units.” The benefits of the expansion of women’s roles in the military advantage not only the women but the military as well. In comparison, the drawbacks of expansion of women’s roles are usually disadvantages to the men within the military.
“The Pain Tree” written by Olive Senior tells the story of a woman who comes back home after many years and begins to think about her childhood in a new light, which changes much of what she thought she knew of her family and childhood. The story shows the main character, Lorraine, revisiting the memories of her family and the woman who had taken care of her as a child, Larissa. Children mainly focus on the happy memories which may be tied to more important topics that they do not understand until they are older. Most children do not pick up on many of the complicated things happening around them. Lorraine can now see the bigger picture of her relationship with Larissa and how large the divides were between Lorraine’s family and Larissa’s
Conclusions. An adequate and clear understanding of the concept of pain and implementing interventions of pain treatment and management is essential in the clinical settings. Understanding the concept of pain is necessary for its relationships with other concepts that are related and similar to the pain experience for theory building. The in the end, understanding the concept of pain will ultimately benefit the patient and lead to better and approp...
Pain is universal and personal to those who are experiencing it. It is subjectively measured on a scale of 0-10 with zero being no pain and 10 being the worst pain ever. This can be problematic for patients and doctors because this score can be understated or overstated. Doctors will make quick decisions based on this score. Patients might feel not believed because only they can feel the pain. However, untreated pain symptoms may be associated with impaired activities of daily life and decreased quality of life. Pain is defined in our textbook, “as an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage” (Ignatavicius & Workman, 2016, p 25). Actual pain is understood by most because there is an
Applying to graduate school is an important process. Students must make sure that they meet all the expectations of the programs to which they are applying. However, the graduate schools must also meet the needs of the students. From what I have learned, the DPT Program at Franklin Pierce University exceeds expectations. Both the DPT program, and the university as a whole, show deep commitment to academic excellence, helping the community, and thoroughly preparing students for careers in their desired field.
In diabetes, pain that is located in the upper and lower extremities is referred to as Painful Diabetic Neuropathy (PDN) (Stein et al., 2013). Other names, such as Painful Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (PDPN) and Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN) are also used to describe this symptom (Zelman, Brandenburg, & Gore, 2006). For continuity of this paper, the term PDN will be used. PDN is considered a chronic pain, and a common complaint is increased peripheral pain at night that disrupts sleep (Zelman et al., 2006). This exacerbated nighttime pain and disruption in sleep can affect the overall health and quality of life for the diabetic person (Zelman et al., 2006).
Yes, Clemson has a listserv for all PhD students in the educational leadership department, but this listserv does not include the master’s program students in student affairs. As it stands now, there is very little communication between the two programs. I am a member of the PhD listserv, I could use the list serve as a tool to disseminate information as an ACPA Ambassador. However, I think the benefits of creating a new listserv are far greater. In doing so, I could target all students in the student affairs program/students with aspirations of working in student affairs in the doctoral program, along with new student affairs professionals here at Clemson. This method would be more strategic in my opinion.
In the 21st century brands play a big part in society but in particular shoe brands. They have developed over the years in terms of quality, appearance and price. Major shoe brands such as Converse, Puma, Adidas, Reebok and Vans have been in great competition and managed to deliver nothing but the best. At the Academy these popular shoes are being worn such as Adidas and Puma.
In the era of globalization, complex interdependence has never been this relevant in the international community. However, there are security challenges that need to be addressed in order to maintain peace and stability. As China becomes a major stakeholder in global politics, as Russia have annexed Crimea, as tensions in the South China Sea and East China Sea increased due to overlapping territorial claims, as the conflict in the Middle East remains a challenge, as the United States prioritizes its rebalance to Asia and as Non-Traditional security threats such as terrorism, environmental security, piracy, illicit drug trades etc. have become imperative concerns, security dilemma has been prevalent more than ever. In order to maintain peace and stability, diplomacy and collective security have to run its course. Multilateral and bilateral cooperation should serve as avenues to serve the best interest of all stakeholders. Currently, different regional organizations are formulating mechanisms in order to foster cooperation and solve different disputes among concerned parties. The Assoc...
There are many different kinds of religions out there in the world. What we hear is what we know. When we hear religion, the five basic ones come to mine. Christianity, Hinduism, Judaism, Buddhism, and Islam are the ones we hear in the United States. Have we ever heard of Baha’i? I know I haven’t and I’m sure if I was to ask someone, they would look at me crazy. Believe it or not, Baha’i is a religion.
