Compression is a force that affects what area of the spine?
Compression affects the vertebral bodies of the spine, particularly the intervertebral discs. This force can lead to conditions like disc herniation or spinal stenosis.
Can levoscoliosis of the lumbar lead to bulging disks?
Yes, levoscoliosis of the lumbar spine can contribute to the development of bulging disks. The abnormal curvature alters the spine's biomechanics, leading to uneven pressure on the intervertebral disks. Over time, this uneven pressure can cause the disks to weaken and bulge, potentially resulting in pain and other complications. Regular monitoring and appropriate interventions can help manage these risks.
Can spinal cord injuries lead to paralysis in dogs?
Yes, spinal cord injuries can lead to paralysis in any vertebrate.
Is characterized by a ruptured annulus fibrosis?
A ruptured annulus fibrosus is a condition often associated with a herniated disc in the spine, where the outer layer of the intervertebral disc tears, allowing the inner gel-like nucleus pulposus to protrude. This can lead to nerve compression, resulting in pain, numbness, or weakness in the affected area. Treatment options may include physical therapy, pain management, or, in severe cases, surgery to relieve pressure on the nerves.
What procedure is the surgical removal of an intervertebral disk?
The surgical removal of an intervertebral disk is known as a discectomy. This procedure is typically performed to relieve pressure on spinal nerves caused by herniated or degenerated disks, which can lead to pain, numbness, or weakness in the limbs. A discectomy can be done through traditional open surgery or minimally invasive techniques, depending on the patient's condition and the surgeon's preference. Recovery time and outcomes vary based on the individual and the extent of the surgery.
Which childhood disease causes infantile paralysis?
Polio is a childhood disease that causes infantile paralysis. It is a highly contagious viral infection that can lead to paralysis and can be prevented through vaccination.
Can seizures lead to paralysis in a dog?
Yes, he can also get a heart attack.
Is bulging disks arthirits?
No .However it can lead to situations where arthritis develops.
Can an enlarged spleen burst open?
Yes, though the term everyone uses is "ruptured." A ruptured spleen is mildly painful, but bleed profusely into your abdominal cavity, and is an emergency. The condition can lead to death.
The absence or inhibition of AChE at a synapse would lead to?
The absence or inhibition of AChE at a synapse would lead to flaccid paralysis.
What is partial or total loss of voluntary muscle use?
Partial or total loss of voluntary muscle use is called paralysis. Paralysis can lead to the loss of an independent lifestyle.
Can your spine break?
No. Not everything you see in cartoons is real. (spongebob)
