It is appreciated that the given case study contains other factors such as psychological trauma and the impact of blood loss. However this essay is going to explore the efficacy of pre hospital immobilisation utilising cervical collars and extrication/ orthopaedic stretchers, reflecting on an account from the paramedic’s practice. A modified framework of Gibbs Reflective cycle (1988) will be used. Including Description, Feelings, Evaluation, Conclusion and Action Plan. This essay is supported throughout

i. Car Body Car bodies are usually made of steel or aluminium. They both have different properties and prices ranges that make it ideal. Aluminium has a lower density meaning the car will be lighter than if it was made from steel. It also doesn’t corrode easily so a car made of aluminium will last longer than that made from steel as the steel contains iron which will corrode. In saying this aluminium is much more expensive, and although it has better properties is may take the price of the car up

Introduction The cervical spine is a very important aspect of the body. It is responsible for protecting the spinal cord, supporting the head while allowing movement, and facilitating blood flow to the brain. Cervical spine injuries occur most commonly from diving among the recreational sports. Among organized athletic activities, football is also a sport that the injury commonly occurs in. Injuries have also occurred in ice skating, hockey, rugby, snow skiing, baseball, gymnastics, soccer, and other
incidence and epidemiological causes of maxillofacial trauma and facial fractures varies widely between different regions of the world due to social, economical, cultural consequences, awareness of traffic regulations and alcohol consumption. Reports from distinct regions in Turkey also have different etiological findings.[1, 2] According to the reports from developed countries [3-6] assault is the leading cause of facial fractures followed mostly by road traffic accidents, pedestrian collisions, stumbling
Cervical cancer malignant cancer of the cervix uteris or cervical area. It may present with vaginal bleeding but symptoms may be absent until the cancer is in its advanced stages, which has made cervical cancer the focus of intense screening efforts using the Pap smear. About 2.2 percent of women carry one of the 2 virus strains most likely to lead to cervical cancer. One of the symptoms of Cervical Cancer is very Unusual amount of discharge. Treatment consists of surgery in early stages and chemotherapy
population. Indians, males had a higher prevalence of 55.7% compared to females (44.3%) (Ndlovo, 2006; Slabbert, 2009; Muchna, 2010). Neck pain is categorised clinically as either non-specific or pathologic. Non-specific neck pain is pain in the cervical spine without any identifiable evidence of disease
Group 2: The significance of modulus of elasticity and fracture toughness for resin composites Kelly Griffith, Lance Gunter, Joshua Haentges, Erik Hageman, Zohra Hasham, Nellab Hashimi Modulus of elasticity is defined as the comparative stiffness of a material. A stiffer material will have a higher elastic modulus. Fracture toughness is the amount of stress required to propagate a preexisting flaw. It describes resistance of a material with a pre-existing flaw to fail. These two properties will
Nasal Fracture A nasal fracture is a break or crack in the bones or cartilage of the nose. Minor breaks do not require treatment. These breaks usually heal on their own in about a month. Serious breaks may require surgery. CAUSES This condition is usually caused by a blunt injury to the nose. This type of injury often occurs from: • Contact sports. • Car accidents. • Falls. • Getting punched. SYMPTOMS Symptoms of this condition include: • Pain. • Swelling of the nose. • Bleeding
people in the United States that are infected with HPV, and there are about 6.2 million new HPV cases each year (Vamos, McDermott, and Daley 303). Even though most HPV cases are non-cancerous, two of the HPV strains are known to cause 70 percent of cervical cancer, and the other two strains cause 90 percent of genital warts cases (Javitt, Berkowitz, and Gostin 384). Mendenhall, Elisa, and O'Mara stated, "Because of the cancer link, the strains that are the greatest medical concerns are those that are
Even if your child is a virgin until they get married, their partner might not be and your child would then be at the same risk in adulthood as they are now as a teenager. If someone could then tell you that a vaccine could prevent a majority of cervical cancer for your child later on in life, then that is a pretty big deal. This vaccine also prevents contraction of the STD and its genital warts.” (Flores, Joey). This medical professional is in the majority with the consensus of her peers, but it
Newspapers 1. "When these new data for cervical cancer are considered in light of similar results from previously published studies, our findings suggest that passive smoking may be firmly linked with cervical cancer," wrote lead author Anthony J. Alberg. "Our study of two large cohorts found that women who lived with smokers had a percent or greater risk of developing cervical neoplasia." excerpt from Second hand smoke, cervical cancer linked.

Memorandum of Research Results STATEMENT OF FACTS: Henrietta Hamster lives in Brooklyn, NY, and works in Manhattan. Normally, Henrietta takes the subway into work ($2.25 each way), but once a week she commutes home in a unique way. For some time, Henrietta has been seeing a psychologist for counseling (for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) but was often late for or missed her appointments. She recently switched psychologists. A van, equipped with a carpeted office and easy chairs, picks her up from work
vaccination among males with quadrivalent vaccine reduced the incidence of condylomata acuminata. In trials, the HPV9 vaccine has shown to be superior to the HPV4 vaccine in preventing invasive cervical cancer (ICC). Rethmuiller etal. (2015) found that the HPV9 vaccine could prevent 90% of ICC, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), and anal cancers. In a phase III efficacy trial showed that HPV9 was 96.7% effective preventing > CIN2, vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 or 3, and vaginal
smear to screen for cervical cancer. How your GP screens for cervical cancer is changing and it's important for women to understand what the changes are and why they're happening. What is cervical cancer? Cervical cancer is a disease that occurs when the cells in the cervix, or the opening to the uterus, start growing out of control. It's the 14th most common cancer diagnosed in women in Australia and nearly 1000 women will be diagnosed with it in 2017. Almost all cervical cancer is caused by a
Pap smear (also called a Pap test) is a screening procedure for cervical cancer. It is a simple, quick and relatively painless screening test. The Pap smear, test for the presence of precancerous or cancerous cells on the cervix, the opening of the uterus. Pap tests are very accurate and regular. Up to 80 percent of women diagnosed with invasive cancer of the cervix have not had a Pap smear in the past 5 years. A Pap test reduces cervical cancer rates and mortality by 80 percent (Kelbach 2015). Many
What’s the most effective HPV treatment? These questions have become common questions for most women today. Why is that? It’s simply because HPV (human papillomavirus) creates nearly all cases of cervical cancer. The cervix is a small and tapered lower part of the uterus which opens into the vagina. Cervical cancer is a prevalent STI (sexually transmitted infection). Around 14 million people get infected each year. Many people who get HPV infections though, never experience any signs or symptoms and

related to spinal stenosis the signs and symptoms of lumbar spinal stenosis, how the condition is diagnosed, and the treatments available for the condition. Spinal Stenosis Spinal Anatomy The anatomy of the spine has three major regions: the cervical, the thoracic, and the lumbar. Your spine is a long column of bones (aka vertebra) that stretches from the base of your skull to your tailbone. The vertebrae supports and stabilizes your upper back, while at the same time allowing you to move freely
