Other MPAmedia Alternative Health Site Links Acupuncture AcupunctureToday.com Massage Therapy MassageToday.com Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm and Low Back Pain Norman Engel, MS, DC, DABCO An aneurysm, by definition, is a sac formed by the dilatation of the wall of an artery, a vein or the heart. The chief signs of an arterial aneurysm are the formation of a pulsating tumor and often a bruit is heard over the swelling. Sometimes there are symptoms from pressure on contiguous parts. The aorta is the largest artery in the body. It arises from the left ventricle, ascending and bending over the heart, descending anteriorly to the thoracic and lumbar vertebrae. It splits at L-4 into the common iliacs, femorals, tibials, and dorsalis pedis arteries, supplying the lower extremities. The average diameter of aorta is 2.0-2.5 cm. More than 90 percent of abdominal aneurysms are associated with atherosclerosis and can cause leg pain (claudication), numbness or fatigue. An artery may be sclerosed (hardened) but if the lumenal diameter isn't altered, there is no aneurysm. Most abdominal aortic aneurysms do not produce symptoms, but some people feel a pulsating sensation in the abdomen. These silent (asymptomatic) aneurysms are often recognized by careful physical examination. Abdominal aortic aneurysm is most likely to occur in people older than 60 years, and it affects men more often than women.

44. National Brain Aneurysm Foundation Brain aneurysm Foundation Established. A Medical Advisory Board, made up of aneurysmexperts from around the country, assists in preparation of the brochures. http://neurosurgery.mgh.harvard.edu/natl-brn.htm

The Brain Aneurysm Foundation now has its own homepage http://neurosurgery.mgh.harvard.edu/baf/ Please, update your links. Brain Aneurysm Foundation Established Patients with brain aneurysms often present with intracranial hemorrhage. There can be varying degrees of neurologic injury as a result of the initial hemorrhage. Recovery after treatment can often be long and, at times, requires inpatient or outpatient physical and occupational therapy. For patients with unruptured aneurysms, there is often more time for patient education regarding the potential risks of hemorrhage or neurologic impairment from their aneurysms and the risks of treatment. After treatment, the process of recovery requires the full support and understanding of the patient's family, as well as the willingness of the patients themselves. Many of the patients and their family members share common concerns. In response to many of these concerns, members of the Brain Aneurysm/AVM Center (at the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston) have worked closely with patients and their families to establish the Brain Aneurysm Foundation. The purpose of the foundation is to serve the needs of brain aneurysm patients and their families through support networks, the expertise of its Medical Advisory Board, newsletters,educational materials and public education about the condition. Two other goals of the foundation are to promote and support research, including clinical and basic scientific, on the cause(s) and treatment of brain aneurysms (and related conditions) as well as to provide financial assistance to needy aneurysm patients and their families. The foundation has already begun working in an advisory capacity with several hospitals in other states to set up support groups. The foundation has also recently published

46. Aneurysm Surgery Backtracking a bit, it is important to get an instant education on the Brain Attack. Some basic questions What is a brain aneurysm? Etc. Etc. The aneurysm. http://www.brain-surgery.com/aneurysm.html

A Stroke is the ultimate "Brain Attack." It can strike the young, healthy, productive head of a household during a soft, shared moment with a spouse anytime. Nothing is more frightening. One might hear: "I'm having the worst headache of my life!" Or, "Oh, my neck is so stiff!" Then the victim might vomit, perhaps have a convulsion which could leave them comatose and all bystanders truly frightened. In the emergency room even the doctors look worried. The CAT scan shows "blood around the brain," something doctors call a "subarachnoid hemorrhage." There could possibly be other problems, such as a blot clot in the brain itself ("intracerebral hemorrhage) and/or something called "hydrocephalus" (water on the brain, building up after blood cells have gradually clogged, the brain's drainage system). There is lots to be done, and in a very short time frame. Backtracking a bit, it is important to get an instant education on the "Brain Attack." Some basic questions: What is a brain aneurysm? How serious is the problem?

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm by Susanne Shamsolkottabi Patient History The patient has an abdominal aortic aneurysm measuring approximately 10 cm in diameter. The aneurysm starts below the renal arteries and extends to the common iliac arteries. Both iliac arteries are dilated and atherosclerotic. Orientation Slices MPEG Movies Original Reconstructed Helical CT data set The original trans axial section 84 slice Toshiba Helical CT data set of a patient with an abominal aortic aneurysm. Isoview 370 was the contrast used. The volumetric data acquisition of 5 cm thickness included the aortic arch but did not include the aortic bifurcation which should have been included to allow evaluation of the common iliac arteries. The 74 images of 5mm slice thickness were generated using an interpolation algorithm with a 1:1 pitch. MIP of Abdominal Aorta Aneurysm Enhanced Maximum Intensity Projections (MIP) of an abdominal aortic aneurysm measuring approximately 10 cm in diameter. In this movie, the chest wall and spine were removed and the aorta was highlighted through segmentation. You can also see the heart, liver, spleen, kidneys, and renal arteries. MIP of Aneurysm and Common Iliacs Maximum Intensity Projection of an abdominal aortic aneurysm measuring approximately 10 cm in diameter. In this movie, you can also see the superior mesenteric artery, renal arteries, and common iliac arteries. Rotation is about the intersection of a coronal and sagital plane (y-axis).

search A-Z of health health news healthy living medicines ... A-Z of health Aortic aneurysm What is an aortic aneurysm? An aortic aneurysm is the dilatation (widening or bulge) of a portion of the aorta, usually at a weak spot in the aortic wall. The aorta is the largest artery in the body. It carries all the blood that is pumped out of the heart and distributes it, via its many branches, to all the organs of the body. The aorta projects upwards from the heart in the chest and then arches downwards, travelling through the chest (the thoracic aorta) and into the abdomen (the abdominal aorta). The normal diameter of the abdominal aorta is about one inch. What causes an aortic aneurysm and who is at risk? Most aortic aneurysms occur in the abdominal aorta, the main cause being arteriosclerosis. This is a condition in which fatty deposits are laid down in the walls of arteries, which are less elastic and weaker as a result. Major risk factors for arteriosclerosis are smoking and high blood pressure, although it also probably runs in families. Other causes of aortic aneurysm include: trauma to the aorta, for example a crush injury to the chest following a car accident
