Chemicals such as bleomycin, tetracycline (e.g., minocycline), [2] povidone-iodine, or a slurry of talc can be introduced into the pleural space through a chest drain. The instilled chemicals cause irritation between the parietal and the visceral layers of the pleura which closes off the space between them and prevents further fluid from accumulating. [3]
The management of scoliosis is complex and is determined primarily by the type of scoliosis encountered: syndromic, congenital, neuromuscular, or idiopathic. [1] Treatment options for idiopathic scoliosis are determined in part by the severity of the curvature and skeletal maturity, which together help predict the likelihood of progression.
Passive exercises of the shoulder are movements in which a physical therapist maintains the arm in a particular position, manipulating the rotator cuff without any effort by the patient. [26] These exercises are used to increase stability, strength and range of motion of the subscapularis, supraspinatus, infraspinatus, and teres minor muscles ...
The Frozen stage is where the shoulder loses its range of motion and becomes stiff. Lastly, the thawing stage is where pain becomes minimal, and range of motion is restored. Exercise increases blood flow to the muscles affected which enhances blood flow. Regular exercise is a crucial part of the healing stages of adhesive capsulitis.
At-home somatic exercises are diaphragmatic breathing, mindful walking and cathartic movement. Somatic workouts focus on mind-body connection to relieve stress and tension. At-home somatic ...
The face pull is a weight training exercise that primarily targets the musculature of the upper back and shoulders, namely the posterior deltoids, trapezius, rhomboids, Latissimus dorsi as well as the biceps.

It is more common in women younger than 50 years and has associations with tobacco, cocaine, or triptan use. People usually complain of chest pain at rest that is unrelated to stress or exertion.

This syndrome can begin with severe shoulder or arm pain followed by weakness and numbness. [5] Those with Parsonage–Turner experience acute, sudden-onset pain radiating from the shoulder to the upper arm. Affected muscles become weak and atrophied, and in advanced cases, paralyzed. Occasionally, there will be no pain and just paralysis, and ...
