Recommended: Bell's palsy

Bell’s palsy is a type of facial paralysis that mimics the signs and symptoms of a stroke. The etiology of Bell’s palsy is still debated. “The widely accepted mechanism is inflammation of the facial nerve during its course through the bony labyrinthine part of facial canal, which leads to compression of the axons, and disruption of blood supply to the nerve itself (Lee, 2013)”. The databases that were searched were CINHAL and MEDLINE. Bell’s palsy and steroids were the key words that were used to search for the research articles. The research question to be answered is do men and women with Bell’s palsy who were treated with steroids compared to men and women with Bell’s palsy who were not treated with steroids have a decreased risk for complications? The two research articles that were found provide information to help to answer this question. The first article that was searched is titled “Increased stroke risk in Bell’s palsy patients without steroid treatment.” …show more content…

The first article is strictly a follow up study. The researchers used a data base to compile all of their data. They did not do any experiments on any persons but merely looked through files to answer their question. The second article actually did a study and had to obtain informed consent form the patients. The researchers for the second article had an experimental and a control group. They are similar in a way that they both looked at how steroids can have a positive outcome for Bell’s palsy patients. Both articles answered their question and are have valuable information when using them to answer the research question of, do men and women with Bell’s palsy who were treated with steroids compared to men and women with Bell’s palsy who were not treated with steroids have a decreased risk for complications? Both articles helped answer this question and gave valuable information regarding steroids positive

    Both articles give true factual information and unique perspectives on the study of bed bugs. However, the primary source expands lot more into in-depth detail and elaborates more on the nature of bed bugs and mentions a specific study and data. Moreover, it was also written by collaborated researchers, whereas the secondary source was written by only one author. The secondary source does have a clear, understandable vocabulary, and its relative brevity allows a much easier read. However, like all secondary sources, it lacks the formality, credibility and validity of the primary source.

  • Liberty Bell Research Paper

    1642 Words  | 4 Pages

    The Liberty Bell is a symbol of American independence and is located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The government paid around 100 pounds for the bell (A&E Television Networks). It was once rung in the tower of the Pennsylvania State House, which is now called the Independence Hall. This bell was used to call the lawmakers to meeting and the people of the town to hear the reading of the news. Isaac Norris is the person that ordered for a bell in 1751, and on the first ring the bell cracked. Once it was cracked, John Pass and John Stow melted it down and casted a new one right in Philadelphia. (U.S. Department of the Interior) Both of their last names are on the bell after doing the new cast on the bell. (Liberty Bell Facts)

From the materials, I learned that when the other two participants gave up swimming across Lake Ontario due to various obstacles, Marilyn Bell, who was only 16-year-old at that time, kept on struggling against all the difficulties. After twenty hours and fifty-nine minutes, Marilyn Bell completed the seemingly impossible task and won national respects. Moreover, Bell was not satisfied with the glory of one success, and continued to conquer many swimming challenges throughout her life. Same as Marilyn Bell, Rocket Richard also achieved kinds of successes, one after another, in his career. However, honors

In this way, scientists can figure out a new idea to be tested or one that will change the thinking about some topics (King, 2016).

  • Essay On Rett Syndrome

    1434 Words  | 3 Pages

    In the 1960’s, an Austrian pediatrician, Dr. Andres Rett, recognized a few of his female patients with similar indications of having some type of neurologic disorder but did not fit the cerebral palsy classification (Zoghbi, 2002). Without the knowledge of earlier research, a Swedish physician, Bengt Hagberg, began to openly speak about his observations similarly to Dr. Andres Rett records (Zoghbi, 2002). Bengt Hagberg observed numerous of female patients with this unknown syndrome and was curious in their wringing hand movement that no textbook had information on. In June 1981 Dr. Neil Gordon hosted a board meeting of the European Federations of Child Neurology Societies in Manchester and Bengt Hagberg had the opportunity to share his studies there. The discussion group had other pediatric neurologists that had seen the same behaviors but they all were unable to categorize it into its own identity. As years past, this syndrome has increased and neurologist began to evaluate this syndrome t...

    This is evidence given before the Sadler Committee in 1832 by Peter Smart, a factory worker. The Sadler Committee was a parliamentary investigation, prompted by Michael Sadler, on Factory Children's Labour and the conditions in the textile factories. The report had testimonies from factory workers, medical practitioners and other bystanders to the effects of the textile industry. The report of Sadler’s Committee led to the 1833 Factory Act, limiting hours of employment for women and children. Peter Smart’s testimony reflects much of the Evidence provided to the committee, with the brutality and unfairness of the time.

If you are skeptical you may have to do your own research to see where the information originated. Do not believe everything you read just because it states it was from a study as it may not be reliable or truthful. Both of these studies had interesting information, however since they both were lacking sufficient data it was hard to determine if the studies were completely honest and adequate or not.

  • Clinical Trials: A Kantian and Utilitarian Point of View

    977 Words  | 2 Pages

    Both articles give great example of proving their point but i favor article one. Although i do believe that randomized clinical trials is very useful but i don't agree to sacrificing one's health just to benefit a majority. I steer towards a kantian point of view because i believe a physician needs to be completely loyal to their patients and should not put their health in jeopardy. Randomized clinical trials have benefited medicine but they are a common place of corruption, by the exploitation of patients the medical industry can easily do more harm than good. Randomized clinical trials are a very broad idea therefore choosing to be for or against it is very difficult. Overall the kantian theory is what i personally thinks is the best way have a patient-physician relationship.

  • A Stroke’s Effect on Memory

    1982 Words  | 4 Pages

    Stroke is a serious medical condition that affects people of all ages specifically older adults. People suffer from a stroke when there is decreased blood flow to the brain. Blood supply decreases due to a blockage or a rupture of a blood vessel which then leads to brain tissues dying. The two types of stroke are ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke. An ischemic stroke is caused by a blood clot blocking the artery that brings oxygenated blood to the brain. On the other hand, a hemorrhagic stroke is when an artery in the brain leaks or ruptures (“About Stroke,” 2013). According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), “Stroke is the fourth leading cause of death in the United States and is a major cause of adult disability” (“About Stroke,” 2013). Stroke causes a number of disabilities and also leads to decreased mobility in over half of the victims that are 65 and older. The CDC lists several risk factors of stroke such as heredity, age, gender and ethnicity as well as medical conditions such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes and excessive weight gain that in...
