spinal cord injury: Flexion-rotation injury
Give this one a try later!
This is the worst type of spinal injury because it leaves a
highly unstable spine, and is associated with high incidence
of neurological damage.
Injury
Examples:
Mechanism
opposite side
(i) heavy blow onto one shoulder causing the trunk to be in
flexion and rotation to
Liver disease (effects of portal hypertension)

, Esophageal varices
Splenomegaly
Ascites
Dilated abdominal veins
• Gastropathy and Melena
Rectal varices (hemorrhoids)
Pressure ulcers stage 3
Give this one a try later!
full thickness tissue loss with visible fat
angina (chest pain)
Give this one a try later!
heaviness in chest
pain radiate to jaw and neck
lasts for abour 5-10 min
relives with rest
triggers are stress, extreme temp, exertion
similarities between Hashimoto and Graves
Give this one a try later!
, Autoimmune
+ Antibodies
Negatively impacts thyroid
Similar root causes
Joint/muscle issues
Goiter
Mood changes
Sleep disturbances
Cancer signs
Give this one a try later!
Low-grade fever
Fatigue/ dizziness
Nausea//vomitting
Loss of appetite/ unexplained weigh loss
Excessive sweating
Abdomen discomfort
Potential Complications of Immobility
Give this one a try later!
Respiratory: pneumonia, atelectasis, and pulmonary embolism
Cardiovascular: postural
hypertension, cardiac muscle atrophy, and deep vein thrombosis
Neurological: depression and anxiety
Musculoskeletal:
osteoporosis, muscle atrophy and weakness, contractures
Metabolic:
glucose intolerance and negative nitrogen balance
Renal: calculi and nephritis
Skin: pressure ulcers
, Gastrointestinal: constipation and fecal impaction
Chromosomal disorders
Give this one a try later!
Down syndrome (trisomy 21)
Turner syndrome ( monosomy X)
Klinefelter syndrome ( polysomy X )
pulmonary embolus signs
Give this one a try later!
sudden dyspnea
diaphoresis
confusion
tachycardia
hypoxia
stationary blood clot from a varicose vein becomes an embolus (moving
clot) that lodges in the pulmonary circulation
chills and fever = infection
Increase intracranial pressure in infants
