The Break by Katherena Vermette exposes the reader to the lives and issues that impact generations of Indigenous women which is told by ten distinct voices, which includes Phoenix’s. The third person narrative of Phoenix reveals how intergenerational trauma has affected Indigenous women of Canada and caused them to experience family problems. The flashbacks and memories of Phoenix as a child highlight how intergenerational trauma has caused there to be a rift between Phoenix and her family. The internal monologue and the extreme actions she takes to be loved exposes the readers to how Phoenix, due to not growing up with a proper family, always seeks affection and approval. Furthermore, the conversation Phoenix has with her mother in prison
She suggests that injury can be a blessing in disguise, and that it is important to stop and listen to the body and recognize its limitations. She stresses that injury should not be seen as a burden, but as a helpful reminder. As a result, injury could act as a way of reordering an athlete’s life. Dancer Cora Bos-Kroese experienced a serious back injury and claimed that the injury “really made her think”, and she realized she could perform differently. She decided to start listening to her body and to work with it instead of against it.

Like all wars the Vietnam War had Physical and Psychologial scars. Fifty-eight thousand people were killed, two thousand captured, and three hundred thousand wounded. I could talk more about the physical trauma, but I want to talk about the psychological damages the war caused O’Brien and other soldiers. O’Brien was a part of the war and through the story you can see his bitterness and how the war affected his mind. Like loosing his best friend Ted Lavender, the chapter I chose to do is On the Rainy River.

I am doing The Second Impact Syndrome it was when the brain swells rapidly and catastrophically, after a person suffers a second concussion before symptoms of an earlier one have subsided. This injury only happens in football. Second impact may be relatively minimal and not involve contact with the cranium. Impact disrupts the brain’s blood autoregulatory system, leading to swelling, increasing intracranial pressure. This second blow may occur minutes, days or weeks after an initial concussion,and even the mildest grade of concussion can lead to SIS.
Adult Proximal Humerus Locking Plate for the Treatment of a Pediatric Subtrochanteric Femoral fracture: A Case study Pediatric subtrochanteric femur fractures are rare injuries that lead to a high level of satisfactory outcomes after nonoperative treatment in young children and operative treatment in older children and adolescents.1–8 Only limited data have been published on operative treatment of these injuries with reported healing rates of 100% after intramedullary nailing with elastic or rigid nails, external fixation Case report An 8 year old , otherwise healthy male child presented to emergency with alleged history of fall from a height of 8-9 feet while playing following which sustained trauma to left hip region and patient was not able to walk and weight bear.

Skeletal muscle injuries are a major problem faced by high-performance athletes and amateurs in different sports and often result in time lost from practice and competition [1, 2]. The impact caused by muscle injuries has led to the important search for new prevention strategies and therapeutic tools that can minimize muscle damage, enhance the repair process and optimize treatment. Muscle injury results in a rapid early response by neutrophils to remove necrotic tissue and monocyte infiltration that generates functionally diverse macrophage subpopulations, followed by regeneration of damaged tissue and resolution of inflammation within days after injury [3-6]. Initially macrophages adopt a pro-inflammatory or M1 polarization (classically
If I were to tell the truth (which I try to make it a habit to do), I would assert that I spent the last two days considering our class conversation without formulating much in terms of coherent impressions or judgments. Nor did I conclude what idea to pluck from my notebook and my mind to address here. I’m torn between Peter’s statement that “trauma is the ineffable,” that “it is not reliable” and Naomi’s insight that we—all of us—make choice in life and in so doing, close doors on other opportunities. Perhaps the two are connected in some way, and I hope to do this in this construction.
A concussion is a head injury which results from the movement of the brain in the skull causing the brain to hit the sides of the skull which can cause swelling, bleeding, or other serious injury. Concussions can be linked to neurological trauma, especially after a patient suffers from multiple head traumas. This link was first considered when Phineas Gage, in 1848, suffered an injury from an iron spike being driven through his head, and following the injury, exhibiting extreme personality changes. Some 170 years later, these same personality differences can be observed in patients following head trauma. Some symptoms for concussion include; headache or a feeling of pressure in the head, temporary loss of consciousness, dizziness or "seeing
“A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a disruption in the normal functioning caused by a blow or jolt to the head or a penetrating injury” (Owens, 2015). People who suffer from a TBI may have trouble with speaking or understanding language. According to Kathleen bell MD from the “living with traumatic brain injury video”, They may have “problems with double vision difficulty with moving about the most common problems that people have and this stretches across mild to more severe brain injuries is problems with thinking and problems with managing behavioral emotions” (Living with a Traumatic Brain Injury, 2012.) There are three main types of brain injuries: contusion, axonal injury, and bleeding in the brain. A contusion to the brain is essentially
While you rarely see sports injuries contributing to a fatality, the leading cause of death in sports injuries relates to brain injury. Approximately 21 percent of the TBI in American adolescents relates to sports injuries. Concussions can occur from a direct blow to the face, head or neck. It does not matter as long as the force transmits itself to the head. The signs and symptoms of a head injury can change over the course of minute or hours.
