Spinal Stenosis and Surgery

-

As we know spine is made of a series of interlinked connected bones and shock-absorbing discs.  It protects the spinal cord from external injury and plays a key part of the central nervous system (CNS) which connects the body to the brain.









Spinal stenosis is the abnormal narrowing of spaces between the spinal canal, which puts more pressure on the nerve roots that travel through the spine. Few people have the inherited the degenerative discs, but for most people, the degenerative discs develop through the degenerative cascade of the degenerative disc which is a part of spinal stenosis. Some people don’t feel the effects of narrowing, but following aging, eventually, they start noticing the sign of radiating pain, tingling and muscle weakness in the nerves and spinal cord.












 Spinal stenosis is caused due to the aging process and often due to osteoarthritis. It occurs in the lower back and the neck. Symptoms are typically worsened over time and it may cause loss of bowel or bladder control. In harsh cases, doctors prefer surgery to create more space for the spinal cord or nerves.

An appropriate treatment is crucial to acquire a positive surgical conclusion. Neuroimaging studies are required to identify the areas of narrowing. Many areas of spinal stenosis may also be a reason not to perform elective spinal stenosis surgery. Spinal stenosis surgery is also done to increase the motor strength in legs and arms even if they lose the sensation.














The spine can be stabilized with the help of braces externally and insertion of rods or brackets surgically. Spine stabilization surgery has been in trend for many years and is generally followed by spinal decompression surgery. In spine fusion surgery, the surgeon fuses the spinal discs, which might provide relief from the pain, but also limits various day to day activities. Surgery makes use of the bone graft, biological substances or spinal instruments to increase the stability and help to fuse the bones.

4 Silent Signs of Brain Tumor

Stubborn headaches There is no clear-cut type of a headache that can forecast whether or not the person having a brain tumor. The way to analyze is to be on the lookout for a new daily stubborn headache that won’t seem to go away or do not respond to any treatment. These headaches are often present when you wake up in morning and tend to worsen over time. These stubborn headaches depend upon the size or growth rate of the tumor of the brain. Loss of vision Patients experience blurred or double vision due to the tumor present on or near to the optical nerve. Including this other types of brain tumor cause abnormal eye movements and make changes or loss of vision, depending on the size and location of the tumor.  This symptom often sees a pituitary tumor that compresses chiasm, or part of the visual pathway.  Brain tumor or cancer is just one of many surprising disease eye doctors can diagnose first.

Star of the brain -Neural Stem cells

On the off chance that you’re new with stem cells, we all start our lives as a little bundle of them in the womb. These astonishing cells can alter their appearance, morphing into each pro cell in the body. The stem cells present in brain called as neural stem cell – separates to become the complex blend of profoundly particular cells shaping our ‘grey matter’, including cells called astrocytes. These star-shaped cells play fantastically imperative parts in the brain, by protecting other cells and repairing those that gotten to be damaged. A stem cell’s capacity to lay calm and, when required, to self-renew plays a key part in re-establishing and keeping up the wellbeing of our organs. Shockingly, cancer stem cells have that same property permitting them to avoid radiation and chemotherapy medicines which leads to tumor regrowth. The brain stem cells, which ordinarily direct brain improvement and support, inadvertently communicate with brain cancer cells in dangerous tumors, c

The brain is the most imperative organ in the body. Each and every action of our body including the ability to move, think, learn and emotions are controlled by these spongy tissues.  When some malignant cell growth occur called brain tumor, it starts infecting surrounding healthy brain tissue quickly. 4  Strategies to Prevent & Heal From Brain Tumors Naturally Sleep Our body needs a satisfactory amount of sleep for the survival as well as the well-being of our brain. Detoxification pathway of our body which is also known as glymphatic system naturally removes toxic waste during the day. This system is active at night and gives a chance to flush the toxins using cerebrospinal fluid in the brain. Especially for the chemotherapy patients, sleep allows the cells to repair and restore tissue. Breathe in Frankincense Essential Oil By doing stress reduction techniques such as meditation, yoga and breathing exercises can reduce the stress of brain. Inhaling frankincense
