Answer:

First you have to take into account the muscular limits to understand the phenomenon that would occur, these limits are:

Origin: Spinous processes of vertebrae T3-T6

Insertion: transverse processes of C1-C3 vertebrae.

This is why the patient, having the muscle in the cervical area and only contracting the one on the left side, would generate a painful neck torsion and paralysis that shortens the length of the neck towards the left side.

It can also give other symptoms and signs as head can give headache to the suboccipital, occipital, frontal, ocular and ear regions. The splenium muscle of the neck can give the occipital region and posterior part of the orbit a headache.

Explanation:

Many times this is due to cervicitis or tension headache due to dental malocclusion, stress, malposition or also due to some disease that generates random muscle hypertonicity of different muscles.

MAVERICK [17]

Total mass = 85 kg

Per breath tidal volume = 6-8 ml/kg

Rate of breath = 12 breaths per minute

Find:

Breath rate tidal volume in 1 minute.

Computation:

Rate =  Total mass × Per breath tidal volume × Rate of breath

Lower limit = 6

Lower rate = 85 × 6 × 12

Lower rate = 6,120 ml

Higher limit = 8

Higher rate = 85 × 8 × 12

Higher rate = 8,160 ml

Rate = 6,120 - 8,160 ml

Which of the following is true regarding panic disorder in children?
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

A. Children report more cognitive symptoms than adults, is true regarding panic disorders in children.

Explanation:

A. Children report more cognitive symptoms than adults.  

Children with panic disorder are more anxious as compared to adults even when they are not having panic attacks. They report severe cognitive symptoms such as fear of an attack, reluctance to perform well in school, avoiding certain places due to fear of attack called agoraphobia, depression, substance abuse and suicidal behaviors. Hence, children may also need psychotherapy along with panic disorder medications so that they could control their anxiety. Early treatment of panic disorder with cognitive behavioral therapies may prevent complications such as agarophobia, and depression in children.  

B. Children experience only cued panic attacks.  

Both children and adolescents have unexpected panic attacks which might be triggered by anything which causes anxiety in them. They should have varying periods of fear and discomfort which might last minutes to hours.  

C. Children may report a general fear of becoming sick rather than specific physical symptom

A child suffering from panic attacks may have heart-attack like symptoms with a racing heart, fear of death and losing control, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, and physical symptoms including nausea, vomiting, dizziness, shortness of breath etc. Moreover, children are also left with an intense fear of another panic attack which might trigger these symptoms. Thus, they become less functional and has a fear of changing places, habits as anything might trigger their symptoms. So, children are more anxious about the physical symptoms ensuing the panic attack and tries their best to avoid it.
