Alexander (2008)‚ “Spina bifida is a birth defect that involves the incomplete development of the spinal cord or its coverings. The term spina bifida comes from Latin and literally means "split in two" or "open" spine”. The location of the opening on the spine often dictates what problems may occur and how bad they will be. It is important to know that Spina bifida can affect the nerves‚ surrounding spinal bones‚ muscles‚ and the overlying skin. According to the National Institute of Neurological

surgeons perform a laparotomy (an incision across the mother’s abdomen)‚ the uterus is opened and the baby’s back is rotated into view. A pediatric neurosurgeon removes the MMC sac‚ if one is present‚ and closes skin over the defect to protect the spinal cord from exposure to the amniotic fluid. The uterus and the abdominal incision are then closed. A maternal-fetal medicine specialist performs sterile intraoperative ultrasound to map the position of the placenta and the fetus‚ and a fetal cardiologist

minimal blood supply to the discs‚ unlike the muscles; so they lack reparative powers. In this process‚ fibro-cartilage replaces the gelatinous mucoid material of the nucleus pulposus. Nucleus pulposus is the jelly-like substance in the middle of the spinal disc. Its function is to distribute pressure in all directions within each disc under compressive loads. While this degeneration is a normal process of aging – It is rather a ‘Condition’ than a ‘disease’ - and for some people does not create any

Mad Cow Disease Paper Mad Cow Disease‚ or bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE)‚ is a fatal brain disorder disease of cattle that affect the central nervous system and causes staggering and agitation. Some unknown transmissible agent causes mad Cow Disease. Currently‚ the most accepted theory is that the agent is a modified form of a normal cell surface component known as prion protein. In BSE‚ the unknown agent causes the cow ’s brain cells to die‚ forming sponge-like holes in the brain.

Although Rick Hansen was burdened by his handicap‚ he didn’t let it completely ruin his life. He decided to make the best of it by starting the Man in Motion world tour which raised over 26 million dollars for spinal cord injury research. This really shows Rick Hansen’s benevolence. His self-sacrificial attitude made further development in spinal cord injury research

There could be an underlying problem with the brain or spinal cord. In structural scoliosis there could also be an underlying problem with nerves or muscles (Board). Most scoliosis patients have idiopathic structural scoliosis. Eighty percent of all scoliosis cases are idiopathic structural scoliosis. The cause
