What are the four nerve plexuses?
Cervical: C1 - C5Innervates muscles of neck and extend into thoracic cavity, where they control diaphragmatic muscles. Major nerve: Phrenic...which provides entire nerve supply to diaphragm.Brachial: C5-T1Innervates pectoral girdle and upper limbs. Major nerves: Radial nerve, median nerve, ulnar nerve.Lumbar: T12 - L4Innervates pelvic girdle and lower limbs. Major nerves: Genitofemoral nerve, lateral femoral cutaneous nerve, and femoral nerve.Sacral: L4-S5Innervates pelvic girdle and lower limbs. Major nerves: Sciatic nerve (which branches into tibial and fibular nerves) and pudendal nerve.
What is the typical bleed out time for a brachial artery injury?
The typical bleed out time for a brachial artery injury can range from a few minutes to around 20 minutes, depending on the severity of the injury and the individual's health condition. It is important to seek immediate medical attention in case of such an injury to prevent excessive blood loss.

Brachial plexus injury in newborns?
DefinitionBrachial plexus injury is a loss of movement or weakness of the arm that occurs when the collection of nerves around the shoulder are damaged during birth.This bundle of nerves is called the brachial plexus.Alternative NamesKlumpke paralysis; Erb-Duchenne paralysis; Erb's palsy; Brachial palsyCauses, incidence, and risk factorsThe nerves of the brachial plexus can be injured during a difficult delivery from:The infant's head and neck pulling toward the side as the shoulders pass through the birth canalPulling on the infant's shoulders during a head-first deliveryPressure on the baby's raised arms during a breech (feet-first) deliveryThere are different forms of brachial plexus injury in an infant. The type depends on the amount of arm paralysis:Brachial plexus injuries usually affect only the upper arm.Erb's paralysis affects the upper and lower arm.Klumpke paralysis affects the hand. The infant may also have an eyelid droop on the opposite side.The following increase the risk of brachial plexus injury:Breech deliveryLarger-than-average newborn (such as an infant of a diabetic mother)Difficulty delivering the baby's shoulder after the head has already come out (called shoulder dystocia)Brachial plexus injury is less common now that delivery techniques have improved. Cesarean delivery is used more often when there are concerns about a difficult delivery. Although a c-section reduces the risk of injury it does not prevent it, and this delivery also has other risks.Brachial plexus injury may be confused with a condition called pseudoparalysis, in which the infant has a fracture and is not moving the arm because of pain, but there is no damage to the nerves.SymptomsSymptoms can be seen immediately or soon after birth, and may include:Newborn is not moving the upper or lower arm or handAbsent Moro reflex on the affected sideArm flexed (bent) at elbow and held against bodyDecreased grip on the affected sideSigns and testsA physical exam usually shows that the infant is not moving the upper or lower arm or hand. The affected arm may flop when the infant is rolled from side to side.The Moro reflexis absent on the side with the brachial plexus or nerve injury.A careful examination of the clavicle or collarbone will be done to look for a fracture. Sometimes, the infant will need to have an x-ray of this bone.TreatmentGentle massage of the arm and range-of-motion exercises are recommended for mild cases. More severe cases, or those that do not improve in the first few weeks of life may need to be evaluated by several specialists.If some strength has not returned to the affected muscles by the time the baby is 3 - 6 months old, surgery may be considered.Expectations (prognosis)Most babies will fully recover within 3 to 6 months, but those who do not recover have a poor outlook. In these cases there may be a separation of the nerve root from the spinal cord (avulsion).It is not clear whether surgery to repair the nerves or fix the nerve problem can help. Nerve grafts and nerve transfers are sometimes tried.In cases of pseudoparalysis, the child will begin to use the affected arm as the fracture heals. Fractures in infants usually heal very quickly and easily.ComplicationsComplications include:Abnormal muscle contractions (contractures) or tightening of the muscles, which may be permanentPermanent, partial, or total loss of function of the affected nerves, causing paralysis of the arm or arm weaknessCalling your health care providerCall your health care provider if your newborn shows a lack of movement of either arm.PreventionTaking measures to avoid a difficult delivery, whenever possible, reduces the risk of brachial plexus injury in newborn babies.ReferencesFenichel GM.

How do I know if my headache is related to sciatic nerve issue?
The sciatic plexus controls the area below the waist, hips legs and so on. the chest and mid body nerves are in the lumbar plexus. The upper body control center is the thoracic plexus and the cervical plexus is for the arms, neck and head. The burning sensation is a nerve being pinched to the point of deadening. You didn't mention age, but often pains are caused by arthritis or bone spurs. You could have what many call a slipped disc causing the nerve to be pinched. You need to go to a specialist, not an M.D. An osteopath is one such doctor that would qualify, but I'd want more than that. You may have several places that are injured, and it could result in you becoming paralyzed.

What would life be like without x-rays?
If X-Rays did not exist, then people would not know how severe their broken bone is, or they would not know if they have broken a bone in an injury. X-Rays are very important because they help you with your health and your bones.
