Tension

14.2K
Tension is a force along the length of a medium, in particular, a force carried by a flexible medium, such as a rope or cable. The word "tension" comes from Latin, meaning "to stretch". Not coincidentally, the flexible cords that carry muscle forces to other parts of the body are called tendons. Any flexible connector, such as a string, rope, chain, wire, or cable, can exert pull only parallel to its length; so, a force carried by a flexible connector is a tension with a...

Muscles that Move the Head01:19

Muscles that Move the Head

7.5K
The muscles that move the head are a dynamic and complex group of structures that work together to facilitate a wide range of head movements, including rotation, flexion, extension, and lateral bending.
The bilateral sternocleidomastoid, or SCM, and the suprahyoid and infrahyoid muscles are significant head flexors. The SCM muscles originate at the sternum and clavicle and attach to the mastoid process of the temporal bone. The SCM contracts bilaterally to bend the head forward, whereas...

Posttensioned Masonry Walls01:15

Posttensioned Masonry Walls

611

Post-tensioned masonry walls use high-strength steel rods or flexible tendons to enhance the strength and efficiency of masonry structures. These elements are securely anchored to the foundation and extend vertically either within the cores of the masonry units or between the masonry wythes. The construction process involves building the wall with these tensioning elements in place and allowing the mortar to fully cure.
Following the curing process, the tensioning begins. Steel rods are...

Equilibrium and Balance01:15

Equilibrium and Balance

8.2K
The inner ear assumes dual functionalities of auditory perception and equilibrium maintenance. The vestibule is the organ responsible for balance. This organ contains mechanoreceptors, specifically hair cells, endowed with stereocilia, which aid in deciphering information regarding the position and motion of our heads. Two intrinsic components, the utricle and saccule, help perceive head position, while the semicircular canals track head movement. Neurological messages initiated in the...

Dysrhythmias II: Classification of Tachyarrhythmias

793
Tachyarrhythmias are a type of dysrhythmia where the heart rate exceeds 100 beats per minute. Here are some common types of tachyarrhythmias:Sinus TachycardiaSinus tachycardia originates from increased impulses from the sinus node, leading to an elevated heart rate. It is often triggered by stress, fever, or exercise.Patients may experience palpitations, a sensation of a racing heart, dizziness, and chest discomfort.Causes and Risk Factors: Common causes include physical exertion, emotional...

    Summary

    Tension-type headaches (TTH) are common and often underdiagnosed, frequently co-occurring with migraines and psychiatric conditions like anxiety and depression. Acute TTH treatment involves NSAIDs, while prophylactic options include antidepressants and cognitive behavioral therapy.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Psychiatry

    Background:

    • Tension-type headaches (TTH) are highly prevalent in the general population.
    • TTH are frequently underdiagnosed.
    • Comorbidity of TTH with migraine headaches and underlying psychiatric conditions (anxiety, depression) is common.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To summarize the diagnostic and therapeutic landscape of Tension-type headaches.
    • To highlight the association between TTH, migraine, and psychiatric disorders.
    • To outline current treatment strategies for TTH.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of TTH prevalence, diagnosis, and treatment.
    • Analysis of comorbidities associated with TTH.
    • Summary of acute and prophylactic treatment options.

    Main Results:

    • TTH are common and may be underdiagnosed.
    • Higher prevalence of TTH in migraine sufferers.
    • Anxiety and depression are prevalent in TTH sufferers.

    Conclusions:

    • NSAIDs are the primary treatment for acute TTH.
    • Prophylactic treatment options include tricyclic antidepressants, SSRIs, and cognitive behavioral therapy.
