Injuries and poisonings

Scoliosis: surgery

Harrington began work on creating his endocorrector in 1947 by studying the anatomy and deformations of the spine. The author concluded that it was fundamentally possible to obtain and maintain correction of the scoliotic spine using a metal structure and used it in 16 patients between 1947 and 1954.

Herniated disc

A herniated disc (or prolapsed disc) is a bulge in the back wall of a disc or a squeezing out of its contents that persists even when there is no pressure.

Acute functional blockage of the spine

Acute functional blockade of the spine occurs when one of the facet joints is displaced. When you make a careless movement, a sharp pain pierces your back like an electric discharge. This is acute functional blockade of the spine. The pain, like a lightning strike, strikes a person at the very beginning of the movement, leaving him bent double, motionless and unable to straighten up.

What to do for bruises?

What to do with bruises? This is information that each of us should know and which is useful not only to study, but also to assimilate at the level of habitual actions. Bruises accompany us almost every day - there are small, unnoticeable, and there are those that require basic, but urgent help.

Bruised arm

A hand contusion is a type of injury that is classified as mild or moderate. A hand contusion is defined as damage to the subcutaneous layers of the epidermis and soft tissues, not accompanied by cracks, dislocations, stretches or fractures.

A baby bruise

A child's bruise is considered relatively normal, because a child should a priori be mobile, active and inquisitive. No parental prohibition will give as much useful life experience as independent study of the surrounding world.

Back contusion

A back bruise is one of the most dangerous injuries, since there is little soft tissue in the back area that takes the blow. The spine is most often subject to bruises, and the severity of the injury depends on which area of the spine is damaged.

Nasal contusion

A nose contusion is a facial injury and is quite a serious injury, regardless of the severity of the blow. As a rule, a nose contusion is accompanied not only by swelling, but also by bleeding, since in the anterior part of the nasal cavity there is a specific area of accumulation of many vessels - Kiesselbach's field, and the posterior part of the cavity contains even larger capillaries and vessels.

Treating bruises

Providing assistance for bruises is a rule that everyone should know, because bruises are constant companions of our lives, regardless of the degree of our caution. It is especially important for parents to know the algorithm of actions for providing assistance for bruises, since a child, due to his natural activity, will inevitably encounter falls, and therefore bruises.
