Margaret Sanger, born September 14, 1879, was a women’s rights activist who led the birth control movement and dedicated her life to fighting for access to sexual health information for women. The impact of her work can still be felt today as reproductive health is no longer a forbidden topic and access to birth control or other contraceptives is mainstream. Sanger fought for women to have access to sexual health information so they could properly educated themselves about the control they have over
Mariana Aponte Professor Leiderman ENC 1101 March 15, 2017 Abortion and Birth Control Feminism has been an important topic since the end of the 19th century. That is when the first wave of Feminism began by Elizabeth Cady Stanton who drafted the Seneca Falls Declaration to outline the new movement. Three hundred men and women joined together to rally towards equality for women. Their initial goal was to give women the chance to vote “so that [they] might have some influence over their fate”.
and ectocardia, is a rare and severe congenital heart defect. There are four types of Ectopia Cordis disease: thoracic (60%), abdominal (10%) cervical (5%) and thoracoabdominal (20%). Thoracic and thoracoabdominal are the two most common forms of this disease. Thoracic Ectopia Cordis is a rare congenital heart abnormality with the heart partly or completely placed outside of the thoracic cavity. It is not protected by the sternum or skin and in some cases, the other organs form outside the body
1. Nine year old Jerry stumbled into a drug store, which is usually open late with very few attendants, gasping for breath. Blood was oozing from a small hole in his chest wall. When paramedics arrived, they said that Jerry had suffered a pneumothorax and atelectasis. Just what do both these terms mean and how do you explain his respiratory distress? How will it be treated? The respiratory system undeniably serves a very important function in the body. Anyone who has had any event where they couldn’t
A 73-year old female presented to St Vincents Emergency Department, with a 3 week history of progressive dyspnoea, cough, and lethargy, on a background of a 6-year history of Multiple Myeloma.

In terms of her presenting complaint, she described herself as an active lady, who ran her own pub, but her recent symptoms rendered her unable to carry out her normal activities, such that her husband recommended she should go to hospital. Following
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
The case is about one Arturo Iturralde who was diagnosed with degenerative spondylolisthesis L4-5 with stenosis. The condition is treated by way of surgery. The surgery was carried out at Hilo Medical Center (HMC). It involved implanting titanium rods in the spine forming a bilateral fixation. During surgery, the titanium rods were missing from the surgery room and Dr. Robert Ricketson decided to make do by use of a stainless steel screwdriver. The stainless steel was not approved nor intended for
Neck pain is defined as pain between the occiput and third thoracic vertebrae (Cote et al., 2003) and is a common debilitating condition (Carroll et al., 2008). It is estimated 30-50% of all adults will develop neck pain at some point in their lives and of those affected, 11-14% will experience a degree of work-related limitation (Cote et al., 2008). Studies conducted in South African settings reported that the prevalence of neck pain was 50% in the Caucasian population and 45% in the indigenous
Lymphatic Disorder Castllesman’s Disease CD In most cases, Castleman’s disease is characterized by a single, solid growth within lymphatic tissue in the chest, stomach, or neck. The growths may also occur in other lymphatic tissue throughout the body. Castelman’s Disease is not cancer, but, a lymphoproliferative disorder. It is a condition resembling lymphoma but without recognizable malignant cells. It shows as isolated masses of lymphoid tissue and lymph node hyperplasia, usually in the abdominal
During the review period, the claimant was diagnosed with cervical spine radiculopathy, pain in the right shoulder, a strain of the muscle, fascia, and tendon of the long head of the biceps, and right arm, and intervertebral disc degeneration of the lumbosacral spine. Cervical spine radiculopathy Continued having pain in the neck. The examination also revealed a negative Spurling's maneuver bilaterally, a full, active range of motion, and a nonfocal neurological examination. Pain in the right
Chiropractic care helps keep the body healthy and working properly and promotes homeostasis by keeping the spinal column in alignment. There are many nerves in the spinal column which are directly related to the organ systems and functions of the body. When the spinal nerves become compressed through a subluxation many ill affects throughout the body can occur. Keeping the back aligned though chiropractic care will greatly improve one’s overall health and well-being. The body is controlled down
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
In dance, the term ‘ideal alignment’ refers to the body at the state of which allows the dancer to execute movement most efficiently and safely. Correct alignment can relieve muscle tension and stress, which can be greatly assisted through imagery. Eric Franklin stated that "Posture reveals our genetic and social heritage as well as the sum of our accumulated mental and physical habits." Posture constantly fluctuates due to one’s psychological state (Franklin, E 1996). As a result, dancers must be
The Diaphragm muscle form and its function Summary; This essay is established or focused on the main respiratory muscle and its function. The diaphragm muscle is a skeletal muscle, which is a large flat, or the dome-shaped sheet of muscle of the body. It separates the lungs from the stomach area, or the thoracic and abdominal cavities from one another, that is used for breathing. Also, the main function occurs during breathing. It reduces intrathoracic pressure and contracts to enlarge the thoracic
and expiration. In a resting person the action of inhaling and exhaling is done passively. Inspiration involves air flowing into the lungs whereas expiration involves gases leaving the lungs. The muscles involved in the act are diaphragm and intercostal muscles. The diaphragm is an essential part of the breathing process. It is a muscle located underneath the lungs and has an ascending and descending motion (Better Health Channel, 2013). Intercostal muscles are located between ribs and differentiate
into the pharynx, through the glottis, and into the larynx and ultimately the trachea. Air then passes through the voice box and over the vocal cords which vibrate when air passes over them. The diaphragm is a sheet of muscle that seperates the abdonimal cavity from the thoracic cavity. The thoracic cavity is divided into three areas by membranes: The right and left pleural cavities, which surround the lungs, and the pericardial cavity where the heart is located. The trachea, when it enters
the inhalation and exhalation of air into the lungs (Oxford University Press, 2010). The diaphragm is the key muscle in respiration. Its dome-shaped skeletal muscle separates the thoracic and abdominal cavities, consisting of muscle fibres and tendons. The fibres run upwards from their origin at the inner part of the thoracic cage and then arc towards the midline. During ordinary, quiet respiration, the diaphragm contracts and moves downward in inspiration and the diaphragmatic parietal pleura descends
follows a progressive decline in lung function. Structural changes include deformities in the chest wall and thoracic spine which leads to impurities in air flow and increases the effort needed to conduct a tidal breath. The lung parenchyma loses its supporting structure causing dilation of air spaces, also known as “senile emphysema”. The strength of respiratory muscles, the diaphragm being a major example, decreases which besides lowering vital capacity directly, also impairs effective coughs
Section of the lung that lies on the diaphragm is known as the base of lungs (inferior lobe) one of five lobes. It can be found inferior/posterior to the oblique fissure containing bronchopulmonary segments: superior, medial basal, anterior basal, lateral basal, and posterior basal. However, each lobe comprises branches of alveoli functioning to work together in filtering air, providing oxygen for the bloodstream, and the removal of carbon dioxide (Thoracic, 2016). Outer double-layered serous membrane
