...hamstring injuries, are athletes who indulge in sports that involve jumping and explosive sprinting. In addition of hamstring injuries, they can be very frustrating to deal and treat with. The hamstrings are composing of tendons that attach three large muscles, the biceps femoris, semitendinosus, and semimembranosus. These three muscles helps one knee to bend and extend to his or her hip; however, when one or more of these muscles gets stretched too far and starts to tear, it may cause plenty of pain due to the pulled hamstring. In the circumstance of having to go through a hamstring strain, his or her may experience many symptoms and signs. For example, if his or her feels a sharp pain and possibly a popping sensation at the back of his or her leg, it is probably a sign of a hamstring strain injury. Some symptoms that one may go through during this incident, is pain in the back of his or her thigh when they flex or extend their leg, tenderness, swelling, and bruising in the affected area, and lastly weakness in his or her leg that lasts for a long time after the injury.

The study was carried out based on the assessment of percentage reduction in original wound. It showed significant burn wound healing activity. INTRODUCTION: Tissue damage from excessive heat, electricity, radioactivity or corrosive chemicals that destroy (denature) protein in the exposed cells is called a burn. Burns disrupt haemostasis because they destroy the protection afforded by the skin. They permit microbial invasion and infection, loss of body fluid and loss of thermoregulation.1 Several indigenous drugs have been described in Ayurveda (an ancient Indian system of Medicine) for the management of wounds and burns. Hence, in an attempt to study the wound healing activity of several locally available indigenous herbs, we studied and reported the wound healing activity of the ethonalic extract of the whole plant of Euphorbia hirta in various models like excision, incision and dead space wounds.2 In this communication we report the bourn wound healing activity of...

...Dangerous Habits of Drivers Drivers with bad driving habits are most likely to have accidents. Accidents could lead to serious injuries or even death. To prevent accidents, drivers need to have a responsible attitude and a level of maturity, when given this privilege. These accidents occur when the driver’s concentrating less on the vehicle and more on the things around them. Driving is a major part of life, but some habits like using cell phones, over speeding, and drinking and driving could be known as abusing the right of driving. Firstly, talking and texting while driving is a major addiction that could lead to accidents. When talking on the phone one could certainly lose the concentration needed for driving. It’s definitely hard to be aware of two things at a time, but some people don’t realize this, because of over confidence. Texting while driving could also lead to loss of control on car. This most likely happens when one is using both hands to text and is also looking down on the phone. If there is no control of the steering wheel by the driver, the consequences could lead to death. Fortunately, the solution for talking on phone has been found! The use of Bluetooth could help save lives. It is considered good because you don’t have to hold the phone, and so it saves many lives. Secondly, another bad habit is when a person drives the car over the speed limit. This is considered a bad habit because there will be less control on the vehicle, since it’s going...

...NUR2300: Burn Injuries Ali Almalki University: Date: Burn Injuries Burn injuries often have a significant impact on all aspects of the patient’s life, leaving them with a variety of psychosocial as well as physical handicaps. Extensive research evidence indicates that burn patients suffer profound social and psychological effects such as anxiety and depression, with long-term implications on the patient’s recovery and quality of life. Accordingly, it has been suggested that burn patients should undergo both long and short term systematic mental health care, in order to minimize and avert these psychopathological responses. Moreover, psychological interventions helps burn patients and staff to reduce burdensome as well as decline depressive symptoms. Notably, dissatisfaction tendencies with post-burn body image and appearance, have been pinpointed as a leading cause of psychological impacts, resulting to protracted recovery and impaired social life. According to Thombs et al. (2007) burn scars following a deep dermal injury are often cosmetically disfiguring and impel the scarred individual to deal with an alteration both in body image and appearance. The patient is also forced to adjust to significant impairments in motion and limitations of activities. However, according to Henry (2011), it is the disfigurement or change in appearance and body image that has a profound impact on the patient. Lau & Van Niekerk (2011) note that the alteration...

...Disaster assessment and recovery plan Robert Favinger Everest University Disaster assessment and recovery plan A small convenience store recently suffered an unforeseen incident arising from the carelessness of one of its customers. This resulted in a lot of damage in terms of people, building damage, stocks and utilities and a temporary halt to normal business operations (Walzer, 2009). The incident caused a lot of panic among shoppers and personnel causing a stampede towards the other end of the store. Five people were among the injured. Two were shoppers, a cashier, a shelf attendant, and a supervisor. The young child did not suffer any injuries. Emergency services were quickly contacted and the injured were transported to a nearby hospital for treatment. After every one had been safely evacuated from the store, a thorough disaster assessment was conducted. The store’s insurers determined that the store had suffered extensive damage on its front section of about 54% (Insurance Information Institute, 2014). Damage to the rear section which was used as the emergency exit was calculated as 3%. Many products on the display stands were damaged especially glass bottles and jars as well as goods on the pathway leading to the rear exit. Most of the utilities were left intact though computers and accessories at the front entrance were written off. No damage was registered in the frozen foods section, as there was no loss of power. Business recovery was estimated to require...

...dangerous, but children cannot be protected from everything that presents a possible risk. Some children do get hurt in sports, but the vast majority of children who play sports will not have any long-lasting injury. Many other things are dangerous as well, such as riding in a car, risks present themselves every day, but not everything that is dangerous can be banned. The concept of children in organized collision based sport is to learn how to appropriately use their body in a safe and effective way. If you teach a young child to tackle they're far less likely to be injured than if you attempt to teach an eighteen year old to hit for the first time. As children play contact sports they are learning and growing in their skills that will benefit them later in life. Although there are risks to playing contact sports such as; fighting, concussion, possible long-term damage, and other serious injuries, the chance of most children suffering from these risks are low. Some parents feel the need to shelter their children or protect them from any unnecessary harm but the truth is, parents and other adults cannot protect their children from every harmful thing that goes on every day. With every sport comes the need for proper training and equipment to prevent from unnecessary injuries. In football, for example, it is mandatory for players to have helmets,...

... John Kennair April 4, 2014 The case between passenger Rose Alder v. Ontario Cruises Inc. and employee Wallis Boatswain can be explained by more then three ways. Passenger Rose Alder suffered head trauma and recovering from serious injuries because an employee of the provincial government was distracted from his duty. Rose alder then decided to sue the company Ontario Cruises Inc. and the employee involved, which was Wallis Boatswain. Ontario Cruises Inc. can be held liable, the government of Ontario can be held liable and Wallis Boatswain can also be held liable for the accident. There are certain steps and things missing that make this case complicated because of certain mistakes and steps that were taken to lead a lawsuit. Ontario Cruises Inc. offers cruises around Lake Ontario at 50 dollars a ticket, which entitles the customer to 3 hours of an enjoyable cruise. At the time of ticket purchase, the customer must sign a “Waiver of Liability”. The waiver states, “The passenger accepts all physical and legal risks of loss or injury. Neither Ontario Cruises Inc. nor its employees shall be held responsible or liable for any loss or injury suffered by any passenger that is caused by the negligence of Ontario Cruises Inc. or its employees.” Since the accident happened on the pier and not actually on the cruise ship the companies “Waiver of Liability” is not relevant. Therefor the company of Ontario Cruises Inc. cannot be sued...
