CERVICAL SPINE MOVEMENT INTER-VERTEBRAL DEGENERATIVE DISC DISEASE expert witness testimony information
Shows degenerative disc disease at C5-6 in the lateral view and the limitations in flexion-extension, lateral flexion and rotation due to the disease.
INTERVERTEBRAL DISC HEALTH
When you sit, stand up, bend or twist, large compressive forces are applied to your spine. There are several factors that determine the ability of your inter-vertebral discs to handle these forces:
your inherited make-up
disc health – worsened by smoking, poor nutrition, sedentary lifestyle, weak muscles, and obesity
ageing
poor posture – while sitting, standing and lifting
heavy loads during home, work or sporting activities.
DISC INJURY
Cervical Spine Movement Intervertebral Degenerative Disc Disease expert witness testimony information
When the forces applied to your neck exceed the strength of your discs, minor injuries to the disc can occur. It is important to note these injuries may or may not hurt at the time they occur.
DISC DEGENERATION
Cervical Spine Movement Intervertebral Degenerative Disc Disease expert witness testimony information
As the continuous stresses and repeated injuries accumulate, they cause wear and tear on the spine’s discs and joints. Some people are more susceptible to this degeneration, for reasons that are unclear. this disease process is called osteo-arthritis or spondylosis.
Often the annulus of the inter-vertebral disc is the first area injured. Small tears occur that heal with weaker scar tissue. As more scar tissue accumulates, the annulus becomes weaker overall.
This damages the inner nucleus, which loses it cushioning water content, and begins to dry up and stiffen. It changes from a jelly-like consistency, to more like crab meat. As it dries up, the height of the disc collapses. The decreased cushioning ability of the drier, weaker nucleus leads to even more stress on the annulus, and further annulus damage and nucleus collapse.
The attachment of the disc to the vertebra is placed under a lot of stress by this disc collapse, and the vertebra reacts by growing more bone in an attempt to get stronger. This can be seen as vertebral lipping (osteophytes, spurs) at the edges of the vertebral body and the unco-vertebral joints. This lipping can encroach on the spinal canal and adjacent nerves.
The alignment of the facet joints at the back of the spine alters to accommodate the disc collapse. This changes the way in which the facets slide over each other, causing increased wear of the cartilage on the joint surface. The cartilage frays, and is ground down to the underlying bone. When this facet joint osteo-arthritis or spondylosis occurs, the bone around the facet joint is irritated, and grows in an attempt to stop the excess motion.
These facet joint bone spurs, or osteophytes enlarge, and can grow into the intervertebral foramen or spinal canal, where they can compress the spinal nerve and the adjacent spinal cord.
The ligamentum flavum runs along the back of the spinal canal from one vertebra to the next. As the disc height collapses, and the adjacent vertebra move closer together, the ligamentum flavum thickens and buckles into the spinal canal, placing additional pressure on the spinal cord. Cervical Spine Movement Intervertebral Degenerative Disc Disease expert witness testimony information.
SUMMARY
So osteo-arthritis or spondylosis is a degenerative process that involves disc collapse and bulging, vertebral body and unco-vertebral joint lipping, facet joint osteophytes, thickening of the ligamentum flavum, and the slipping of the adjacent vertebra. This disease can put pressure on the spinal cord and adjacent nerves, and can cause pain.
TREATMENT
Cervical Spine Movement Intervertebral Degenerative Disc Disease expert witness testimony information.
Although osteo-arthritis or spondylosis can not be reversed, there are things that you can do to slow it down and control any pain.
The safest and most effective treatments for osteo-arthritis or spondylosis include :
Stop smoking
Physical therapies - correct posture, activity modification (avoiding excess neck movements, physical activities above shoulder level), low impact and flexibility, strength and endurance exercises, hydrotherapy, physical therapy modalities such as heat, ice, massage, and manipulation or mobilization
Medications - early aggressive use of medication to reduce pain, inflammation, muscle spasm and sleep disturbance
Other treatments – ie acupuncture, ultrasound, laser, short-wave diathermy.
The use of neck bracing and acupuncture is controversial.
The amount of pain experienced from degenerative disc disease (osteo-arthritis, spondylosis) varies widely. This may be due to differing degrees of instability, scarring of the disc and facet joint osteo-arthritis. Once the degeneration is advanced, and the instability produces uncontrollable pain, or the pressure on the nerves affects their functioning, then your clinician will consider fusing the two vertebrae together, or inserting an artificial intervertebral disc.

"smoking diseases"
Smoking causes many diseases smoking diseases. Some of these diseases include COPED (Cardio), CF (congestive heart failure), lung cancer smoking diseases, asthma, pneumonia and emphysema, diseases that are associated with smoking may cause lung.
Other medical conditions caused or contributed to cigarettes are multiple blood pressure smoking diseases, blood clots, Stokes, cancers of the mouth and stomach, and other cancers, birth defects, low birth weight, premature delivery, spontaneous abortion smoking diseases. Smoking can also cause bad breath, taste different things, and the house and clothes smelled like smoke.
diseases from smoking the best way..
COPED (Cardio) - smoking diseases
Cardio pulmonary disease is a serious disease of the lungs and the heart and blood flow smoking diseases. COPED causes respiratory problems and makes the ability of hair to make blood oxygen. The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the capillaries are not exchanged efficiently smoking diseases.
diseases from smoking what to do ?
CF - smoking diseases.
CF (congestive heart failure) is heart disease smoking diseases. This causes not enough blood circulating in the body and also causes heart tissue to die slowly. Also causes heart swelling due to not being able to circulate blood correctly lower extremities smoking diseases. This also causes an accumulation of fluid around the heart and can cause heart failure.
diseases from smoking how to ?
Lung and other cancers - smoking diseases.
Cancer caused by smoking is caused by carcinogens in cigarettes. Carcinogens are cancer agents that are inhaled from cigarettes and can also enter the body through the snuff is smoked in a pipe smoking diseases, cigar or chewing cause.
Oral cancer is most likely caused by chewing snuff smoking cigarettes, but cancers of the mouth, throat and stomach can be caused by cigarettes too smoking diseases. Carcinogens in the body can be installed anywhere and do any type of cancer.
diseases from smoking that like :
Asthma, pneumonia and emphysema - smoking diseases.
Asthma is a lung disease in which the constriction and bronchial spasm smoking diseases. This narrowing of the airways that causes difficulty breathing and lack of oxygen in the body and organs smoking diseases.
Asthma also causes the alveoli (small nodules in the lungs place of oxygen in the bloodstream) to the lungs fill with mucus and affects its ability to transfer oxygen into the bloodstream smoking diseases.
Asthma extremes can cause the patient to be incubated to help him breathe. Severe asthma attacks can also cause pneumonia developing smoking diseases. Pneumonia is fluid in the lungs that causes the lungs not being able to fill with oxygen because of fluid in the lungs.
In both asthma attacks and pneumonia oxygen levels in the blood can be reduced to the point of death smoking diseases. Oxygen levels are monitored closely for these two as well.
diseases from smoking the best
Asthma and pneumonia can both be corrected if the patient stops smoking smoking diseases. Lung damage can be reversed if caught in time slowly and the patient stops smoking early. Emphysema is, however, is not reversible smoking diseases. Emphysema is permanent damage to the lungs caused by smoking and asthma and repeated episodes of pneumonia.
diseases from smoking for life:
This damage is scare the lungs, resulting in a loss of elasticity of the lungs smoking diseases. Emphysema also causes the loss of elasticity of the lungs, alveoli in the lungs can not be fully deflated and therefore the patient can not get enough oxygen in the lungs due to the age of the air in the lungs smoking diseases. Emphysema causes difficulties also exhale completely due to loss of elasticity of the lungs.
diseases from smoking
Air ancient remains in the lungs and alveoli and make it more difficult for cells to exchange carbon dioxide for oxygen in the lungs smoking diseases. This makes the rest of the body does not get enough oxygen to function. The patient has difficulty breathing because of these conditions smoking diseases.
Arterial sclerosis and stroke and blood clots in the body and lungs - smoking diseases.
diseases from smoking Arterial sclerosis occurs when arteries are blocked by fats which are then transformed into plate and causes hardening of the arteries smoking diseases. This plaque causes the arteries to clog arteries and causes no longer carry blood to different parts of the body diseases from smoking.
Smoking contributes to arterial sclerosis smoking diseases, making the blood more sticky and combined with cholesterol in the blood and becomes the plate diseases from smoking. Smoking increases the chances that these plaques that accumulate in the arteries smoking diseases, and other factors diseases from smoking.
These plaques can break off and become blood clots that completely block arteries smoking diseases. Blood clots can also cause strokes. The breakdown of these parts of the plate and become a blood clot can enter the lungs or brain blocks oxygen-rich blood to get where they need to be for normal function smoking diseases.
diseases from smoking Blood clots can occur anywhere in the body and cause inflammation and other symptoms depending on which houses the clot smoking diseases. Blood clots in the lungs can also cause death smoking diseases.
that the best way to do smoking diseases.

Vaccination against hepatitis B —from Medical Coding Career Guide
There are three known strains, A, B, and C. The incidence of B began to drop as soon as the vaccine was deployed. The incidence of C stayed up until a vaccine was developed for it. This gives the lie to the argument that improved sanitation or care of the ill, rather than vaccines, reduced the number of cases.
You can get a vaccine against Hepatitis B and C together: it's called Twinrix. If hepatitis destroys your liver, you will die.

Opening of the 25th Ordinary Session of the African Union Assembly of Heads of State and Government
Press Release Nº04/25TH AU SUMMIT
Women are special breed, there’s no task which women cannot do - President Robert Mugabe
Johannesburg, South Africa - 14 June 2015: “Whenever I think of the virtues and the indomitable spirit that epitomizes the African woman, I am reminded of the heroines across the African continent, who stood up against the forces of colonialism and occupation,” President Robert Mugabe, President of Zimbabwe and current Chairperson of the African Union said as he described the heroics of the African woman. He was addressing the opening ceremony of the 25th Assembly of African Union Heads of State and Government, on Sunday 14 June 2015, in Johannesburg, South Africa.
During his address, President Mugabe recounted the important role played by women for many years, while acknowledging the need for more to be done in line with the AU theme for the year, “Women’s empowerment and development towards Agenda 2063.”
He cited the examples of President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf of Liberia and the Chairperson of the African Union Commission Dr Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, amongst others, whom he described as trailblazers and living testimonies of women leadership. He cited the role they played in the fight against Ebola, adding that today Liberia is free of Ebola.
President Mugabe, however, said though much had been achieved, a lot more still needs to be done, particularly in the areas of economic empowerment and decision-making. He expressed the wish to see the Summit engaging in open and frank discussions aimed at empowering the women of Africa.
On her part, the Chairperson of the African Union Commission, Dr. Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma reflected on a number of issues, including the opportunities presented by Africa’s Agenda 2063, lessons learned from the fight against the Ebola Virus Disease, the blue economy, its demography especially with women and youth constituting a greater majority of the population. She highlighted the need for the continent to remain focused on its transformation agenda, to ensure that the continent achieves its vision of “an integrated, prosperous, peaceful and people-centered Africa which is a dynamic force in the world.”
After congratulating President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Dr. Dlamini Zuma reflected on the fight against the Ebola Virus Disease, which has been stopped in Liberia, but is still affecting Guinea and Sierra Leone. The AU Commission Chairperson said the lesson learned from the epedemic is that, “with African solidarity and resolve, we can find our own solutions to our challenges.” She said the disease exposed the weaknesses of Africa’s health systems, especially public health, noting the need to train more health workers, and build and strengthen Africa’s health systems and infrastructure.
During the opening ceremony, the AU Commission Chairperson took the opportunity to present tillers to the Heads of State and Government. She said the tillers were meant to replace the handheld hoes that should be sent to the museum, a request that had been made by women farmers during Agenda 2063 consultations. Presenting one tiller each to President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe and President Macky Sall of Senegal, she invited the other Heads of State and Government to collect theirs to take back home.
South African President Mr. Jacob Zuma, who is host of the summit, delivered the official welcome statement. He called for the realization of the aspirations of Agenda 2063. “The expectations from our people are high and we cannot fail in the implementation of Agenda 2063 to redefine, lead and fund our own development and the future”, he said.
Other speakers at the Summit included Mr Mahmoud Abbas, President of the Palestine Liberation Organisation; Secretary General of the League of Arab States Mr. Nabil Elaraby; new Heads of State and Government of AU member states such as President Muhammadu Buhari of Nigeria, President Hage Geingob of Namibia, President Filipe Jacinto Nyusi of Mozambique and Prime Minister Pakalitha Mosisili of the Kingdom of Lesotho. Outgoing President of Tanzania, Mr. Jakaya Kiwete also addressed the opening of the Summit.
The 25th AU Summit ends on 15th June with the adoption of key decisions and resolutions. A final press conference will be held immediately after the closing ceremony, to which members of the media are invited.

Animal diseases pose a significant risk to public health as most infectious diseases can spread between species. The European Parliament votes 15 April on new rules updating some 40 pieces of European legislation dating back to the 1960s. This would not only clarify who would be responsible for what, but also make prevention a higher priority. We spoke to Marit Paulsen (ALDE, Sweden), responsible for steering the proposal through Parliament, about the difference the new legislation would make.
What is the challenge facing us when tackling animal diseases?
