Paralytic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia drugs which induce paralization are called paralytics, such as Vecuronium, Pancuronium and Succinylcholine. This sometimes includes anesthetics that have paralytic effects such as Ketamine.

Franklin D. Roosevelt's paralytic illness - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The unquestioned diagnosis at the time and thereafter in countless references was paralytic poliomyelitis, which was understandable because polio was epidemic in the northeastern United States during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. For paralytic poliomyelitis in Roosevelt's age group, the best estimate of the annual incidence was 2.3 / 100,000. The March of Dimes initially focused on the rehabilitation of victims of paralytic polio, and supported the work of Dr. Jonas Salk and others that led to the discovery of the polio vaccines. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Franklin_D._Roosevelt's_paralytic_illness   (1246 words)

Imported Vaccine-Associated Paralytic Poliomyelitis --- United States, 2005 Paralytic poliomyelitis is rare in the United States because of the success of universal childhood immunization and the Global Polio Eradication Initiative. However, the isolation of Sabin-strain polioviruses types 2 and 3 from a stool specimen and absence of isolation or serologic evidence for infection with another agent known to cause polio-like symptoms (e.g., West Nile virus or enterovirus 71) is consistent with VAPP (2). Overall, the risk for paralytic disease in a traveler is much greater in a polio-endemic country or outbreak country (e.g., Nigeria) than in an OPV-using country that is free from wild poliovirus, although this increase in risk is difficult to quantify. www.cdc.gov /mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm5504a2.htm   (2309 words)

AllRefer Health - Intestinal Obstruction (Bowel Obstruction, Ileus, Intestinal Volvulus, Paralytic Ileus, ... Paralytic ileus, also called pseudo-obstruction, is one of the major causes of obstruction in infants and children. In the newborn, paralytic ileus that is associated with destruction of the bowel wall (necrotizing enterocolitis) is life-threatening and may lead to infecting the blood and lungs (pneumonia) in infants. Paralytic ileus is marked by abdominal distention, absent bowel sounds (no noise heard when listening to abdomen) and relatively little pain (as compared to mechanical obstruction). health.allrefer.com /health/intestinal-obstruction-info.html   (507 words)

ENLmedical.com: Conditions And Concerns: Medical Encyclopedia: Intestinal obstruction Paralytic ileus is a one of the major causes of obstruction in infants and children. Paralytic ileus is marked by abdominal distention, absent bowel sounds (no noise heard when listening to abdomen) and very little pain (as compared to mechanical obstruction). The incidence of paralytic ileus is high in comparison to mechanical obstruction but paralytic ileus is not as significant as mechanical obstruction. www.enlmedical.com /article/000260.htm   (575 words)

Definitions of Non-Paralytic and Paralytic Polio This is the "nub" of the definition of paralytic polio. Bulbar paralytic polio is accompanied by weakness of muscles supplied by the cranial nerves which may affect swallowing, breathing, facial muscles, tongue etcetera. If you bite your tongue, mouth, can't chew gum etcetera it means you had bulbar polio because those nerves damaged are cranial nerves which stimulate those affected muscles (cranial means they come out of the head and not off the spine, rather from the back of the brain) --the bulb of the brain--hence bulbar. www.skally.net /ppsc/p-p.html   (430 words)

The Paralytic - As It Is Written   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01) In all three Synoptic Gospels, the healing of the paralytic (Matthew 9:1–8; Mark 2:1–12; Luke 5:17–26) is followed immediately by the calling of the tax collector and the Lord’s eating with sinners (Matthew 9:9–13; Mark 2:13–17; Luke 5:27–32). The paralytic was healed, after all, "that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins," and the point of the second story is that "I did not come to call the righteous but sinners." When the healing of the paralytic is effected to demonstrate that Jesus is possessed of the "authority to forgive sins," it is done with that same ready dispatch with which he stilled the storm and drove the devils into the swine. www.touchstonemag.com /docs/issues/16.5docs/16-5pg28.html   (795 words)

Poliovirus - Epidemiology In 1960, a total of 2,525 paralytic cases were reported, compared with 61 in 1965. The last cases of paralytic poliomyelitis caused by endemic transmission of wild virus in the United States were in 1979. In order to eliminate vaccine-associated paralytic poliomyelitis from the United States, ACIP recommended in 2000 that IPV be used exclusively in the United States. www.brown.edu /Courses/Bio_160/Projects2000/Polio/PoliovirusEpidemology.htm   (453 words)

Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning is a well known danger from consuming bivalve mollusks (oysters, clams, sea snails, and mussels). If paralytic shellfish poisoning is suspected, save any remaining oysters, clams, sea snails, or mussels so they can be tested for toxin. Sea snails have been a usual source of the toxin, and this is the first known outbreak of Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning in Alaska associated with sea snails. www.epi.hss.state.ak.us /bulletins/docs/b1977_07.htm   (626 words)

Lincolnshire Post-Polio Library [Non-Paralytic Polio and PPS] One misplaced criterion for obtaining a diagnosis of PPS is the necessity for a documented case of paralytic polio. Of their "summer grippe" patients, 50% had a non-paralytic polio caused by a less virulent strain of polio, 20% developed paralytic polio, and the infectious agent of the remaining 30% of patients was not established. To monitor the strains of polio virus causing a Washington, D.C. epidemic, specimens were obtained from 63 paralytic cases, 87 non-paralytic cases with positive spinal taps and 5 non-paralytic cases with negative spinal taps (Shelokov et al. www.ott.zynet.co.uk /polio/lincolnshire/library/falconer/nonparalytic.html   (4908 words)

Jesus Heals a Paralytic Especially interesting is that in this story, it wasn’t the faith of the paralytic that led to his healing but that of the men who carried him. In forgiving, Jesus not only forgave the paralytic of his sin which freed him from his separation from God but also freed him from the dungeon of his illness. "Paralytic" describes the condition the man suffered from: his body was acting as if dissolved, his muscles loosened, relaxed or melted. webpages.charter.net /myers_co/teach/jesus_heals_a_paralytic.htm   (1403 words)

Explanation of Scripture read by Orthodox Christians - The healing of the paralytic - Answers only During a particular feast of the Jews, Jesus went to Jerusalem, and encountered a paralytic who had been laying for 38 years by the "sheep's pool", which was a place where the sheep were washed before sacrifice. The canon for the paralytic makes mention of Michael (who is known by the church as the "Supreme Commander" of the Heavenly Hosts) and asks his intercession several times. The paralytic at Peter's house was healed of his sins first, and the one at the sheep's' pool was reminded concerning his sins after he was healed of his physical infirmity. www.orthodox.net /questions/paralytic_1-a.html   (2457 words)

Lincolnshire Post-Polio Library [Late functional deterioration following paralytic poliomyelitis] The incidence of acute paralytic poliomyelitis has been reduced dramatically over the past 35 years by means of mass vaccination campaigns, careful surveillance, and targeting areas in which the 'wild' virus persists. The assessment sought clear evidence for the diagnosis of paralytic polio to be made, the nature of stable function, the latency to onset of the functional deterioration and its clinical manifestations. In summary, of patients with previous paralytic poliomyelitis presenting with late functional deterioration at a median of 35 years after the acute illness, the majority of those who presented with new or increasing locomotor symptoms had degenerative joint disease, and this is likely to be a major factor in their functional deterioration. www.ott.zynet.co.uk /polio/lincolnshire/library/lanefox/late-fd.html   (3821 words)

Kid's Corner - Parents Guide - Jesus Heals the Paralytic - In Touch Ministries   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01) That is why Jesus made the paralytic (or man who could not walk) well; He showed that He had the same authority as God (or the same ability to do what only God can do). That is why He healed the paralytic; Jesus loved the angry men so much that He wanted them to have proof so they could believe He was God.

Polio (Paralytic)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01) Residual paralytic disease occurs in approximately 10% of cases with paralytic illness. There was substantial fluctuation in the number of reported cases of paralytic polio in Maryland from the 1912 to 1960, with a maximum of 481 cases reported in 1950. All six cases of paralytic polio reported in Maryland since 1977 were vaccine associated. edcp.org /html/polio.html   (472 words)

Paralytic Poliomyelitis -- United States, 1980-1994 Although reasons for the decline have not been firmly established, enforcement of state vaccination requirements for school entry beginning in the late 1960s may have decreased the proportion of parents and adult close contacts of vaccinees without immunity to poliovirus, particularly in areas where compliance with these requirements is high (8). Enhanced surveillance for paralytic poliomyelitis (whether vaccine- or wild poliovirus-associated) is necessary to monitor the impact of the change in the routine poliovirus vaccination policy. A clinical case definition for reporting cases of paralytic poliomyelitis * was adopted by the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists in 1990. www.cdc.gov /mmwR/preview/mmwrhtml/00045949.htm   (1645 words)

Role of Sabin 3 Poliovirus in Vaccine-Associated Paralytic Poliomyelitis in the United States Paralytic poliomyelitis still exists in the US, but it is solely the result of the administration of OPV (31). The estimated risks of VAPP in recipients of OPV is approximately 1 in 1.2 million for the f irst dose and 1 in 6.2 million for the second dose (31). The use of OPV and IPV has vastly reduced the incidence of poliomyelitis world wide, and the last reported case of paralytic poliomyelitis in the Western Hemisphere was reported in 1990 (10). www.stanford.edu /~siegelr/mattold   (4521 words)

CHURCH FATHERS: Homily on the Paralytic (Chrysostom) How then shall we make it clear that this paralytic is not the same as the other, but a different man? By many tokens, both of place and time, and season, and day, and from the manner of the cure, and the coming of the physician and the loneliness of the man who was healed. He made public their secret thoughts before the demonstration which was concerned with the cure of the paralytic's body, wishing to prove to them the power of His Godhead. For that it is an attribute of God alone, a sign of His deity to shew the secrets of His mind, the Scripture saith "Thou alone knowest men's hearts." Seest thou that this word "alone," is not used with a view of contrasting the Son with the Father. www.newadvent.org /fathers/1911.htm   (4264 words)

The Paralytic   (Site not responding.

Sunday of the Paralytic This healing of the paralytic had some major repercussions since it was done on the Sabbath (John 5:1, 9). Earlier, Jesus began by asking the Paralytic, "Do you want to be made whole (or healthy)?" Yet the Paralytic did not even know Who Jesus was (v.13), never mind believe that He could perform the miracle. John Chrysostom noted that the circumstances of the healing of Aeneas were similar to that of the Paralytic in the Gospel lesson. www.stathanasius.org /bible/paralytic.html   (3104 words)

Control of bovine paralytic rabies in Latin America and the Caribbean He observed Negri bodies in a bovine brain and was able to produce paralytic rabies in rabbits with this material. Of the 18 countries affected by bovine paralytic rabies, seven have been able to reduce their problems; seven have maintained their epidemiological situation as it was in 1968; and four have seen their problems increase. In 1959, Málaga reported that there were annual losses of one million head of cattle in Latin America as a result of paralytic rabies and, in 1968, Acha estimated the doss to be 0.5 million (Málaga, 1959; Acha, 1968). www.fao.org /ag/AGa/AGAP/FRG/FEEDback/War/v0600b/v0600b0a.htm   (3992 words)

Statistics about Paralytic ileus - CureResearch.com The term 'prevalence' of Paralytic ileus usually refers to the estimated population of people who are managing Paralytic ileus at any given time. The term 'incidence' of Paralytic ileus refers to the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of Paralytic ileus diagnosed each year. Hence, these two statistics types can differ: a short-lived disease like flu can have high annual incidence but low prevalence, but a life-long disease like diabetes has a low annual incidence but high prevalence. www.cureresearch.com /p/paralytic_ileus/stats.htm   (681 words)

Meditation on the Healing of the Paralytic That means it would take at least four people, each grabbing a corner of the bedding, to carry the paralytic in a fashion that would not dump him on the ground. I for one would rather be a paralytic with four constant companions, than to be able to walk and have no friends at all.

American Civil Liberties Union : ACLU Says California's Use of Paralytic Drug During Executions is Unconstitutional In their friend-of-the-court brief, Death Penalty Focus and the ACLU of Northern California state that the use of the paralytic drug Pavulon can mask a prisoner's expression of pain by inhibiting all voluntary muscle movement. Most states have banned Pavulon in the euthanization of animals because it prevents the individual performing the euthanasia from knowing whether the animal was properly anesthetized. First, the inmate is administered sodium pentothal, a fast-acting barbiturate; second, pancuronium bromide ("Pavulon"), a chemical paralytic agent; and third, potassium chloride, a compound that causes cardiac arrest. www.aclu.org /DeathPenalty/DeathPenalty.cfm?ID=17314&c=17   (499 words)
