The supratrochlear nerve passes medially [3] above the trochlea of the superior oblique muscle. [2] [3] It then travels anteriorly above the levator palpebrae superioris muscle. [1] It exits the orbit through the supratrochlear notch or foramen. [3] It then ascends onto the forehead beneath the corrugator supercilii muscle and frontalis muscle ...
Generally, diseases outlined within the ICD-10 codes J40-J47 within Chapter X: Diseases of the respiratory system should be included in this category. Subcategories This category has only the following subcategory.
Explanatory model of chronic pain. Chronic pain is defined as reoccurring or persistent pain lasting more than 3 months.

Corticosteroids: Inhaled corticosteroids (e.g. fluticasone, budesonide) are typically used when bronchoconstrictive disease has advanced to a persistent inflammatory state, more specifically in persistent or severe asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) is an unrecognized and controversial diagnosis characterized by chronic symptoms attributed to exposure to low levels of commonly used chemicals. [1] [2] Symptoms are typically vague and non-specific. They may include fatigue, headaches, nausea, and dizziness.
Pain, weakness, loss of muscle at the base of the thumb, swelling, paleness, bluish coloration [1] [2] Usual onset: 20 to 50 years of age [1] Types: Neurogenic, venous, arterial [1] Causes: Compression of the nerves, arteries, or veins in the superior thoracic aperture (thoracic outlet), the passageway from the lower neck to the armpit [1] Risk ...
Nerve conduction studies will show absent or reduced sensory nerve conduction action potentials in the upper and lower limbs with preserved conduction velocity. [4] Motor nerve action potentials and conduction are usually unaffected, but in a subset of cases may have limited dysfunction. [ 2 ]
Bronchospasms can occur for a number of reasons. Lower respiratory tract conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and emphysema can result in contraction of the airways. Other causes are side effects of topical decongestants such as oxymetazoline and phenylephrine. Both of these medications activate alpha-1 ...
