The purpose of this essay is to describe structure and function of the tendon, present a discussion on the process of pathophysiological Tendinopathy and provide a review of known intervention used to manage or treat both acute and chronic tendinopathies. Tendons act to serve a connective tissue linking muscle to bony attachment points and in the case of the intermediate tendons that will act to link a muscle belly to another (Benjamin and Kaiser, et al). Tendons are a uniaxial and assist in force transmission thus being able to withstand external forces from multiple planes and angles (Kannus, 2008). Tendons are also responsible for storage of power and changes in the mechanical energy of the body of which in turn reduces muscular work by
Pathophysiology ANAT1066 Case study assessment Case study (b) INTRODUCTION Base on the clinical and laboratory data provided, the patient is suffering from Graves’ disease, a cause of hyperthyroidism which is a type of thyrotoxicosis. Clinical manifestation of Graves’ disease (GD) includes diffuse thyroid enlargement, palpitation and hyperthyroidism (Fukishima et al 2009). Other symptoms are ophthalmophathy which result in exopthalmos (bulging of the eye), and dermopathy (oedema) (mencori et al 2014). Hyperthyroidism has some symptoms such as heat intolerance, sweating and weight loss (mencori et al 2014). Tachycardia (a faster than normal heart rate at rest) and bruit (indicate hyper dynamic circulation) are among
(Mayo Clinic, “Raynaud’s Disease”) The primary form of Raynaud’s syndrome is not related to another disease or other health complications and is typically mild enough to where the patient will not seek medical attention. It effects people who live in cold climates and women more than men. The typical age of a primary Raynaud’s syndrome
DOI: 6/21/2014. The patient is a 52-year-old right-handed female technician who sustained a work-related injury to when metal paper holder sprung out and hit her. She did not lose consciousness but was disoriented and confused. Based on the latest medical report dated 02/27/16, the patient reports that after the injury, she had headaches on the right side of the head and had tinnitus almost right away. She developed blurry vision the next day, nausea disruptions to balance and hearing changes on the right side.
This goes hand in hand with his worn joints and possible Lyme disease. (Hall, 2007) (Owen,
Takayasu Arteritis Takayasu arteritis is a rare condition that may also be called pulseless disease. Takayasu arteritis is caused by inflammation in your large blood vessels (vasculitis). It mainly affects your aorta, which is a large blood vessel that carries blood away from the heart, and the large blood vessels that branch off from it. Areas of the aorta or other affected blood vessels can become narrowed, blocked, or weakened because of the inflammation.
Orthostatic hypotension has many etiologies but the baseline is that it is generally caused by a dysautonomic syndrome, drugs, volume depletion or a combination of a variety of factors. Peripheral autonomic (sympathetic) denervation, resulting from systemic diseases can prevent needed peripheral vasoconstriction with standing, diseases such as diabetes and amyloidosis. Other diseases are Parkinsonism , and Addison’s, porphyria, tabes dorsalis, syringomyelia, spinal cord transection , Guillian–Barré syndrome, Riley–Day syndrome, surgically induced sympathectomy, pheochromocytoma, multisystem atrophy, Bradbury–Eggleston syndrome, and the Shy–Drager syndrome (which is also known as idiopathic orthostatic hypotension). There is a variety of medications that can cause syncope by causing orthostatic hypotension and other mechanisms also leading to syncope. These are vasodilators (such as hydralazine, nitrates, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors), adrenergic blockers and adrenergic stimulants, diuretics, tricyclic antidepressants, phenothiazines, and others, can cause orthostatic
One of the causes were unsafe work habits like it shows in Document
Studies have shown that there are many causes/risk factors that go along with carpal tunnel syndrome. The first cause/risk factor would be an anatomic injury.
Osgood-Schlatter Disease Osgood-Schlatter disease is an inflammation of the area below your kneecap called the tibial tubercle. There is pain and tenderness in this area because of the inflammation. It is most often seen in children and adolescents during the time of growth spurts. The muscles and cord-like structures that attach muscle to bone (tendons) tighten as the bones are becoming longer. This puts more strain on areas of tendon attachment.
Pregnancy can trigger the disease due to women of childbearing years being more at risk of having Lupus. Researchers believe that estrogen plays a role in disease development, but the actual cause of the disease unknown. Environmental factors play a role in the disease such as; exposure to the sun, stress, and smoking can spark an outbreak. Some of the symptoms associated with Lupus are; butterfly shaped rash on the face, feeling severely fatigue, extreme weight
After reviewing the agency’s quarterly Workers Compensation reports from the past two years, an alarming pattern regarding carpal tunnel claims among employees was discovered. In the past two years the amount of employees with carpal tunnel claims has more than tripled. The majority of the work being done within this agency takes place in front of a computer. With the constant typing and repetitive computer work, our employees are at a higher risk for carpal tunnel.
The disease that affected certain eye muscle was described as ‘ocular myasthenia gravis’. The more generalized disease or described as ‘generalized myasthenia gravis’ is affecting the muscle at the eyes, face, jaw, throat region, arm, leg, and muscle that involve for respiratory process. Myasthenia gravis may cause disorder that may vary. The disorder and symptom may be changing from time to time. The changed of the disorder may be shown by the degree of muscle weakness increasing from time to time.
- Abrasion – when a worker’s body part (such as their hand) comes into contact with an abrasive object causing the skin to become rough or coarse. Shaping Equipment Grinding Wheel – Vibration Injury Vibration Exposure to certain types of vibration through the use of heavy machinery can lead to damaged nerves. An example of a condition that could arise from this would be vibration white finger. This is caused by using high vibration machinery such as a needle
