Quaeris is the second person singular present tense of quaero, which means I look for, I search for, I seek out or I inquire into. So it means "you seek out", "you search for" and so on.

Spina bifida can involve an incomplete development of the brain, caused by the failure of the fetus's spine to close properly during the first month of pregnancy. Some individuals have a learning disability, or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

In my opinion, the best support you can get if you or a family member was born with Spina Bifida is from closed groups on Facebook, just search "Spina Bifida" and you will find them. I am an adult that was born with Spina Bifida and the best support I've found is in closed Facebook groups (they are called closed because they are private groups and what you ask or say does not show up on your friends' timelines).

The only information I have found on-line regarding Homeopathy for Spina Bifida resulted in a very interesting =O exchange of ideas between a student of Homeopathy and a "learned practitioner" of over 20 years. For reference ❝ ❞ is a "snippet" of ideas and not to be taken as a diagnoses or treatment plan.

❝It is a tumor of the spine. The suggested treatment is: xxx

I have helped to avert surgery in many cases of pilonidal sinus...

The causation is hereditary due to the presence of a miasma passed on from previous generations.

There could be cases of TB in the family, father's side or mother's side. Check family medical history of uncles and aunts in addition to that of parents, grand parents etc. ❞

As limited as my knowledge of homeopathy is he may have hit something with the miasmas, something Western Medicine would likely call genetic change or damage. It seems every ailment known to this on-line practitioner is caused by TB in the family. The homeopathic medications for TB should not be considered as treatment for Spina Bifida so for my own peace of mind I am not putting them in this comment, as we know Spina Bifida is not a tumor of the spine or elsewhere. On-line medical advice of the Homeopathic or Western type is only as good as the medical school the practitioner graduated from.

A pilonidal cyst or sinus is not thought to be related to Spina Bifida rather is a formed by a "follicular occlusion" which is blocking and causing inflammation of pores in the midline of the buttocks.

I believe there may have been a language barrier or possibly a site "translator" In my opinion not a safe way to practice medicine. Your best and safest possibility in Homeopathy is to find one in your area by recommendations from other practitioners, friends or from employes of your local health food store.

People with Spina Bifida can be born with hydrocephalus ("water on the brain), which can cause memory problems. But not all people with Spina Bifida have hydrocephalus, and therefore not all of them have memory problems.

No, that is not a part of Spina Bifida. What does happen with many children with Spina Bifida is a condition called Arnold Chiari II, which causes the cerebellum and the brain stem to extend down into the area where the spinal cord is, which can cause various problems such as swallowing and feeding problems in the infant with Spina Bifida.

Adults with Spina Bifida will need to keep track of bowel and bladder problems and drink plenty of water and try to avoid bladder infections, and take antibiotics if necessary. Another thing to watch for is pressure sores. As far as treatment, sometimes physical therapy can help with maintaining strength.

The shunt used for a person who has hydrocephalus ("water on the brain") is not called a "value shunt". It is usually called a "ventriculo-peritoneal shunt" or "VP shunt" for short. Sometimes a "ventriculo-atrial shunt" or "VA shunt" is used instead.

There are a few different symptoms that you might experience if you have spina bifida. These symptoms include loss of sensation in the legs and feet, unable to control the bladder, and poor bowel control.

Folic acid, also known as folate, causes neural tube defects and disorders like spinal bifida.

The spinal opening can be closed shortly after birth or even in the womb, but this will not "remove" the Spina Bifida. Spina Bifida is a permanent, lifelong condition.

Yes it can. I suffer from spina bifida occulta which affects at least two of my lower vertebrae. Over time this has led to deterioration in my discs and MRI scans have revealed considerable wear and tear to the area. Severe pain is often experienced in my lower back along with spasms which are so painful that they render me totally immobile. I also suffer considerably from severe headaches. Sadly in my experience most General Practitioners and even Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeons are not very familiar with this condition.

Marijuana has not been proven to cause spina bifida. Having said that, the main causes of spina bifida are not well understood. It has been noticed that women who are deficient in folic acid tend to have a higher chance of having children with neural tube defects, but the exact mechanism has not been discovered.

Spina bifida doesn't follow a strict inheritance pattern, but hereditary factors do play some role, though it is not completely understood yet.

Mothers who have had one child with spina bifida have a 3-4% chance of their next child having spina bifida, while the general population only has a 0.1-0.2% chance. In the case a pregnant woman has a family history of spina bifida, it is recommended that they take a higher dose of folic acid than other pregnant women. Here again, folic acid plays a role in preventing neural tube defects (like spina bifida), but the mechanism is not well understood.

Also, for an unknown reason, it is more prevalent in female children than in male children.

Professor Nicholas Tulp, Born: Amsterdam, 11 October 1593; Died: The Hague, 12 September 1674, gave Spina Bifida its name and gave the first formative description of the disability. Although the term and real medical description are somewhat recent, it is estimated that Spina Bifida occurred almost 12,000 years ago.

Giovanni Battista Morgagni (February 25, 1682 - December 6, 1771), Italian anatomist, linked lower-limb deformity and hydrocephalus (an excessive amount of cerebro-spinal fluid within the head) with Spina Bifida in 1761.

It completely depends on their level of disability and where their interests lie. I have worked in the medical field. I also worked in a pre school when I was young, sold Christmas trees, delivered balloons dressed as a Smurfette.

Woldwide the incidence of spina bifida is about 7 per 10,000 live births. Since there is approximately 6,700,000,000 (6.7 billion) there is approximately 4.7 million people living with spina bifida in the world, which is more than the population of the Dallas Texas Metroplex.
