Effects of hippotherapy and therapeutic horseback riding on postural control or balance in children with cerebral palsy: a meta-analysis. Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology. In this meta-analysis the main argument is whether hippotherapy and therapeutic riding (THR) positively effect postural control or balance in children with cerebral palsy (CP). The method used as the source of proof to answer the argument is a
There are many legal aspects that go into declaring what is and what is not brain death. In today’s society, many people, including medical professionals, judges and attorneys struggle to identify what exactly constitutes as brain death. According to, Smith“ the concept of brain death came about during the 1950’s when, as a consequence of developments in critical care, clinicians were faced for the first time with the prospect of an apparently ‘alive’ patient sustained by mechanical ventilation long

Functional image contrast reflects aspects of tissue function rather than structure. A variety of techniques currently exist for imaging at various levels of tissue function, including changes in tissue blood flow, metabolism, or receptor binding. It is totally noninvasive, does not require exposure to ionizing radiation, and is widely available at medical centers. fMRI has become the standard modality for visualizing regional brain activation in response to sensorimotor or cognitive tasks and is
marijuana for medicinal purposes. “In a placebo controlled in a 2007 study in the journal Neurology, Abrams and his colleagues found that marijuana is effective at reducing neuropathic pain, or pain caused by damaged nerves, in HIV patients. Opiates, such as morphine, which is generally given for increased pain, aren’t effective for treating that sort of pain.” Also Researchers at the American Academy of Neurology have also found that medical marijuana in pills or sprays reduce stiffness of muscles

When I was in third year of medical school, the knowledge that I obtained from neurology rotation helped me diagnose that my grandmother, with history of chronic liver disease, had the complication called decompensated cirrhosis and led to hepatic encephalopathy as she gradually had asterixis both of her hands along with declined cognitive function. Nevertheless, after bringing her to the hospital, her condition soon deteriorated to seizures, then she passed away as she went into coma. This was a

Jaycie Carvalho Professor Yumiko Ohara LING 102 The Mind, Brain, and Language: Neurology Linguistics As discussed in class, my paper is on Neurology Linguistics, or Neurolinguistics. Since I am a psychology major I wanted to incorporate that into my linguistics class. The term Neurolinguistics came from the founder of the Journal of Neurolinguistics, Harry Whitaker. Neurolinguistics is the branch of linguistics associated with the relationship between the functioning of the brain, structure, and
