Spinal cord injury. Symptoms samer kareem 3,677 Views • 3 years ago

Though you might think of your spinal cord as one single piece, it's actually a column of nerves protected by a sheath of myelin and then further secured by 31 butterfly-shaped vertebrae (singular: vertebra). Medical providers divide the spinal cord into four distinct regions. Knowing the region in which the injury is located is often the key to understanding diagnosis and treatment. The four spinal cord regions are: The cervical spinal cord: This is the topmost portion of the spinal cord, where the brain connects to the spinal cord, and the neck connects to the back. This region consists of eight vertebrae, commonly referred to as C1-C8. All spinal cord numbers are descending, so C1 is the highest vertebra, while C8 is the lowest in this region. The thoracic spinal cord: This section forms the middle of the spinal cord, containing twelve vertebrae numbered T1-T12.

De Quervain's tenosynovitis (dih-kwer-VAINS ten-oh-sine-oh-VIE-tis) is a painful condition affecting the tendons on the thumb side of your wrist. If you have de Quervain's tenosynovitis, it will probably hurt when you turn your wrist, grasp anything or make a fist. Although the exact cause of de Quervain's tenosynovitis isn't known, any activity that relies on repetitive hand or wrist movement — such as working in the garden, playing golf or racket sports, or lifting your baby — can make it worse.

http://vitiligo-home-remedies.plus101.com ---- white spots on skin, small white spots on face, what causes white spots on skin, vitiligo. The Link Between Vitiligo and Auto Immune Disorders. If you suffer with Vitiligo, a condition that strips your skin of its natural pigment or coloring, the odds are good that you are also battling some sort of autoimmune disorder. It took years for doctors to connect the two disorders, but recent research shows that at least 20 percent of Vitiligo suffers also get autoimmune thyroid disease, and that's juts the beginning. Many more suffer a multitude of other disorders. Until recently, the link between the Vitiligo and autoimmune problems were not clear. Doctors seemed to see a link, but nothing substantial could be proven. Until now. In march 2013, The National Institute's of Health's National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) announced an amazing discovery: a connection between a specific gene named NALP1, Vitiligo and a host of autoimmune diseases including thyroid disease, pernicious anemia, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus and Addison's Disease. According to lead researcher, Richard Spritz M.D., the discovery of this gene may make newer, more effective Vitiligo treatments possible within the next few years. But that's not all. It will also be able to help treat certain auto immune disorders. By finding ways to block the inflammatory response of the NALP1 gene, doctors may some day be able to cure certain autoimmune disorders. A long-term solution for vitiligo should address the internal causes of vitiligo by tackling all vitiligo contributing factors. Only by controlling the nutritional, hormonal, psychological and environmental triggers of vitiligo, using a multidimensional and holistic approach to healing you can reverse the "internal vitiligo environment"- the only, safe, natural and effective way you could ever achieve lasting vitiligo freedom.
