The extrication consists of four steps: the protection of the zone, to avoid a risk of collision (marking out the zone, lighting) and of fire (switching off the ignition, disconnecting the battery, absorbing powder on oil and gasoline pools, fire extinguisher and fire hose ready to use) ; the stabilisation of the vehicle, to avoid the movements of the vehicle itself (e.g. falling in a ditch), and the movements of the suspension (risk of worsening of an unstable trauma) ; the opening of the vehicle and ...

Stingers are best diagnosed by a medical professional. This person will assess the athelete's pain, range of head and neck motion, arm numbness, and muscle strength. Often, the affected athlete is allowed to return to play within a short time, but persistent symptoms will result in removal. Athletes are also advised to receive regular evaluations until symptoms have ceased. If they have not after two weeks, or increase, additional tests such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) can be performe ...

In this book, we find out that the Salvation Army has rounded up most of the world's lower class, forcing them to work underground in horrible conditions for the sole benefit of the rich upper class. It would seem that th ...

Uterin position has no effect on fertility. A tipped uterus will usually right itself during the 10th and 12th week of pregnancy. If a uterus does not right itself, it may be labeled persistent. "Persistent retroflexion of the pregnant uterus is incompatible with advanced pregnancy. If spontaneous or artifical reposistion does not occur, the patient either aborts or develops symptoms caused by incarceration of the uterus before the end of the forth month. In exceptional instances, however, pregnancy may proceed, resulting in ut ...

In 1553 Anchieta was chosen to travel to Brazil as a missionary of the third group of Jesuits sent to the New World, accompanying Duarte da Costa, the second governor general nominated by the crown. After a perilous journey and a shipwreck, Anchieta and his small group arrived in São Vicente, the first village which was founded in Brazil, in 1534. There, he had his first contact with the Tapuia Indians living in the region. In the same year, Manoel da Nóbrega, a Portuguese Jesuit, ordered that 13 priests, Anchieta among them, to sca ...

Spinal fusion is the most widely performed surgery for scoliosis. In this procedure bone (either harvested from elsewhere on the body, or donor bone) is grafted to the vertebrae so that when it heals, they will form one solid bone mass. This restricts spinal movement and prevents worsening of the curve, and straightens the curve as much as possible. Originally spinal fusions were done without metal implants. A cast was applied after the surgery, usually under traction to pull the curve as straight as possible and then hold it there wh ...

Spina bifida - Spina Bifida Occulta. "Occulta" is the Latin for "hidden." This is a mild form of spina bifida. There is no opening on the back, but the outer part of some of the vertebrae are not completely closed. The split in the vertebrae is so small that the spinal cord does not protrude. The skin at the site of the lesion may be normal, or it may have some hair growing from it; there may be a dimple in the skin, or a birthmark. People with this form may have incontinence, slight ambulatory problems, and slight loss of sensation. Spina ...

This most often occurs because the facet joints at on the posterior part of the spine have degenerated (worn away) and fail to prevent excessive vertebral slippage. In adults, the most common cause is a degenerative disc disease which leads to excessive stress on the facet joints and causes degeneration (such as arthritis) and the slip usually occurs between the fourth and fifth lumbar vertebrae (L4 and L5) or the one below that level. Other causes of spondylolisthesis include stress fractures (caused by repetitive hyper-extension of the back, commonly see ...

In Hinduism and its spiritual systems of yoga and in some related eastern cultures, as well as in some segments of the New Age movement -- and to some degree the distinctly different New Thought movement -- a chakra is thought to be an energy node in the human body. The word comes from the Sanskrit cakra चक्र meaning "wheel, circle", and sometimes also referring to the "wheel of life". The pronunciation of this word can be approximated in English by chuhkruh, with ch as in chart and both instances of a as in yoga (the commonly found pronunciatio ...

Reporter law - United Kingdom. In England, reporters were initially compiled in a rather haphazard fashion by private entrepreneurs. The situation was not helped by the tradition among English judges of delivering opinions orally, and of not distributing written copies, so the quality of reporters usually depended on the shorthand skills of whomever was taking notes. In 1865, the nonprofit Incorporated Council of Law Reporting for England & Wales was founded, and it has gradually become the dominant pu ...

When fully mature, the SuperCroc was as long as a city bus (11–12 m, or 37–40 ft), and weighed up to 8,000 kg (8.8 short tons), as much as the largest known terrestrial carnivore, the dinosaur Giganotosaurus. The saltwater crocodile is the largest modern species, and only reaches half that length (6.3 m, or 20.7 ft, is the longest confirmed individual), and a small fraction of the weight (1,000 kg, or 1.1 tons). The largest SuperCroc was the oldest, because it kept growing through its entire 50–60 year average life span. ...
