Which structure in cnidаriаns is used fоr defense аnd prey capture?
Cаse Study 4: Spinаl Cоrd Injury with TLSO аnd KAFO Interventiоn (J.T.) Scenariо: J.T., a 17-year-old patient, sustained a T5 spinal cord injury following a motor vehicle accident. Imaging revealed a intracranial hemorrhage, prompting ongoing neuroimaging to monitor brain structure and glucose metabolism. Initially stabilized with a Thoraco-Lumbo-Sacral Orthosis (TLSO), J.T. experiences episodes of autonomic dysreflexia, requiring careful autonomic monitoring. His Orthotic Treatment Plan includes bilateral Knee-Ankle-Foot Orthoses (KAFOs) for therapeutic standing and short-distance ambulation, enhancing bone density, circulation, and overall health, although primary mobility remains wheelchair-based. 4.6 Which imaging technique is most sensitive to subtle intracranial hemorrhage? A subtle hemorrhage refers to a small, difficult-to-detect bleed in the brain that may not be easily visible in some imaging. These hemorrhages can be microbleeds, very thin layers of blood, or slow, low-volume bleeding that do not cause significant mass effect or dramatic changes on imaging.

With a spinal cord injury at T5, sensory perception below this level is impaired. Although J.T. cannot consciously sense pressure points or discomfort, understanding neuron function emphasizes the importance of proactive orthotic management, such as regularly inspecting skin integrity, carefully distributing pressure, and ensuring proper fitting of orthotic devices like TLSOs and KAFOs to prevent unnoticed pressure injuries, rather than relying solely on patient feedback.
