Throughout researching Chiari, I have learned that Chiari is not only rare, but research is limited. In my essay I have defined key components of Chiari and it affects. I looked at who has chiari, why they have it and how they cope with it. Chiarians around the world have come together to find find a cure and I believe that with further research and investigation, not only a cure can be found but also a diagnostic test. The history of Chiari goes back all the way to the 17th century. That’s when reports were first published of hindbrain herniation. Hindbrain herniation had only been seen in the presence of patients with myelomeningoceles. According to The Chiari Malformations, Hindbrain herniation was found alone in 1881 by Langhans. 10 years …show more content…
Type one doesn’t always cause symptoms and is the only type of Chiari that can be developed. This form of Chiari is usually discovered after an accident of some sort and is often found during an examination for other conditions. Type one is almost always first noticed as a young adult or adult. Type II or Classic CM is when the cerebellum and brainstem extend into the foramen magnum. Type II is also known as Arnold-Chiari malformation and named after after two significant Chiari researchers. Type two commonly associated with a form of spina bifida that occurs when part of the spinal canal and backbone don’t close before birth. Type III is when cerebellum and spinal cord protrude through the foramen magnum and into the spinal cord. This is the most serious form of Chiari. In very serious and rare cases, part of the brain enters a sac like structure that extends out of the back of the head or neck. It is also possible for the brain or spinal cord covering to protrude through an unusual hole in the back of the skull or back. Arnold-Chiari does cause severe …show more content…
Hydrocephalus is when CSF (cerebrospinal fluid) builds up in the brain, causing increased pressure in the brain. The pressure can cause mental defects and possibly a misshapen skull. Hydrocephalus can occur with any other type of Chiari but it is most often seen with Type II. Severe Hydrocephalus can be fatal if left untreated. Spina Bifida occurs when the spinal cord is either incomplete or underdeveloped. Spina Bifida is most commonly associated with Type II. Syringomyelia is a buildup of CSF, which forms a synix, or a fluid cavity. The growing synix destroys the spinal cord which results in pain and weakness. Other symptoms include, stiffness in the back and shoulders, and loss of extreme feelings of cold and hot. Tethered cord syndrome is another syndrome related to Chiari.Tethered cord syndrome is the attachment of the spinal cord to spine. This disorder can cause permanent damage to the lower bodies muscles and nerves. Spinal curvature is commonly associated with type I Chiari. It is seen most commonly with children whose spine is underdeveloped. According to Conquer Chiari, 60-70% of Chiarians struggle with sleep apnea. A person with sleep apnea stops breathing in their sleep and then wakes up breathing again. Decompression surgery decreases sleep apnea occurrences by 90%. According to The National Organization
For Lionel Naraidu, a retired NYPD police officer born to a poverty-stricken family, “being part of American society,” chartered the saga of his life. Naraidu, a Guyanese immigrant, who is the youngest of 15 children, was raised in blue-collar Queens Village, New York. Embracing, “the values many men and women lost their lives for, like having an education, a home, a decent job, and a good community,” ultimately nurtured his servanthood and patriotism.

Throughout Andrei Chikatilo's childhood and early adult life may have been the reason why this man became such a vicious killer. Chikatilo had an awful childhood since day one. When analyzing Chikatilo one must start at his birth. He was born with water on his brain Chikatilo like any teenage boy felt a desire for girls, because he was so insecure and shy he probably felt more comfortable with younger girls. At an early age Chikatilo felt power over younger girls between age eight and age sixteen. When Chikatilo could not get an erection it caused him anger and frustration. When looking at Chikatilo's childhood, you would have to assume that he was traumatized and a product of all the horrible events in his later years. Going through these events alone would make anyone a psychopath.
Andrei Chikatilo was a very bad person. He would kidnap, attack, castrated (boys/men) and bite/slice off sexual organs (women/girls). September 3, 1981, he started a pattern which cause police to move. To get to the children/adults he would trick them at bus stops and train stations then persuade them into the nearest forest or woods. Shortly after persuading them Andrei Chikatilo would kill, rape, and make an imprint on their faces or incapacitate them. Police can only find 53/56 killings. There was a rumor saying there were werewolves attacking people until he Andrei started telling everyone about his killings and the damage he had done. Beginning of 1988 Andrei continues to kill people in a different location called "Rostov". Chikatilo started
Music is a very powerful expression of emotions that come together as a whole to morph your psychological feelings into a sub-reality vision. Over the many years, history has been able to capture the moments at which music has made an impact on human lives. We can start with Manu Chao the artist that sings about left-wing messages and portrays his concerts as “collective therapy”. Or Juan Gabriel the young man that rose out of poverty to become the world’s most beloved artist/songwriter and whose music carried a resonate flamboyant style. Music is a way of communication that is used in many realms such as entertainment, tradition religion and sporting events. So far this semester, Chic 316 has influenced me to seek a more coherent relationship
DOI: 6/26/2002. The patient is a 64 -year-old female patrol officer who sustained a work-related injury to her back, shoulder and legs due to constant driving at work. As per OMNI, the patient is status post lumbar surgery on 1/13/11 and epidural steroid injection on 9/24/12.

If you are going to be Chisinau anytime soon it's important to be prepared in regards to safety before your arrival. Having knowledge beforehand can increase safety and make your time more enjoyable.
Type II: a greater amount of tissue extends into the spinal canal compared to Chiari malformation type I.
School lunches across the US are about to offer healthier choices to the students. After a successful test run Greek yogurt maker Chobani has announced that they were chosen to be a permanent choice on the lunch menu.

When I was younger, I would get frequent headaches, which felt like knives going through my skull to say the least. As I got progressively older, the symptoms would get worse until even the slightest inconvenience, such as coughing, would render me paralyzed for several minutes because of the immense pain felt at the back of my head. In May 2013, I would finally be diagnosed with Chiari Malformation. Chiari, in simple terms, is a brain disorder in which the brain is too large for the skull, so the brain hangs over into the spine. This causes
Spina bifida, a type of birth defect meaning, “cleft spine” affects many babies around the globe in that their neural tube incorrectly closes and affects their spinal cord and brain. The three most common types of spina bifida are spina bifida occulta, meningocele, and myelomeningocele—in the order of least to the most debilitating. The birth defect is most commonly diagnosed with the Maternal Serum Alpha-Fetoprotein blood test, as well as other tests. The complications occurring with the most severe case of spina bifida include meningitis and the Chiari II malformation. Spina bifida can be treated with a wide variety and number of surgeries such as prenatal surgery, as well as prevented by intake of folic acid. The birth defect, spina
I am a good fit for Phi Delta Chi because I am outgoing and I am always open to new ideas. Everyone comes from different backgrounds with different ways of seeing things and I am someone who is open to listening without making any judgements. I am also someone who wants to learn as much as possible so that I can give back to the community. Joining PDC will give me an opportunity to learn more about the chapter so that each year, I can educate others on what we do and how they can benefit from joining.
The cause of spina bifida is unknown, however, it may play a role in genetics. Folic acid may also play a role in developing spina bifida, women who are pregnant are encouraged to take folic acid vitamins to help sustain adequate levels. It has been found that it is more commonly seen in Caucasian and Hispanic infants. The neural tube in the spine fails to close completely during the first month of pregnancy, making the vertebrae unable to form and enclose the spinal column correctly. While it endangers a vital part of the human body, the severity and damage to the infant can vary. There are 4 types of spina bifida: spina bifida occulta, closed neural tube defect, meningocele, and myelomeningocele.
According to the site Chiari Malformation, “Chiari Malformation is a structured defect in the brain and spinal cord. This happens sometimes during fetal development and is called congenital Chiari Malformation”(Chiari Malformation). Some Chiari can occur later in life when excessive amount of cerebrospinal fluid is drained away due to injury infection and exposure to toxic substances(Chiari Malformation). This is called secondary Chiari Malformation(Tamiz 1). He also said “Chiari is caused by poor diet. The indented bony space at the back of the skull is abnormally small. As results this will build up pressure on the
