For our discussion board this week, we will discuss a neurological condition known as Cluster Headache.

Case Study:

Richard is a 40-year-old man with a history of 4 weeks of cluster  headache once each year. These began when he was 35 years old. His  cluster periods occur in the fall. The cluster period begins slowly,  increasing over 1 week, reaching a peak where Richard has two or three  severe cluster attacks each day. They occur from 10 p.m. to 3 a.m. Each  cluster headache lasts from 40 to 90 minutes, and the headaches are  severe. The pain is always on the right side, with eye tearing and nasal  congestion. 

Richard comes into our office 1 week into this fall’s cluster  series. The headaches are increasing in intensity, and he is miserable  with the pain.

Please complete the following questions:  Describe Cluster Headache and its epidemiology. What would be your goals for therapy for Richard? Give rationale with evidence from articles. 

Please limit your posts to the above 2 questions.

 using APA 6th ed. Work must be supported by peer-reviewed article published within 5 years.

Using the directional terms in the table from your textbook, describe how you, or someone close by you, is sitting or standing. Include at least 5 of the terms describing body positioning and movement. Then describe the opposite (for example, if you said your foot was plantar flexed, use dorsiflexed) for all of the terms you used, and make a guess whether you would be comfortable in that position.

Your response should be posted to the Discussion Area below. By the end of the week, begin commenting on at least 2 of your peers’ responses. Ask questions, further the discussion of the topic, reinforce a response, or add another dimension to the discussion. Always use constructive language.

Part Two

Think of a few examples or do some research into examples where the prefix or suffix of a root word changes the meaning from one term to another. Why is it critical for medical professionals to understand and use prefixes and suffixes carefully?

 

What is your evaluation of the effectiveness of the U.S. health care system in the context of delivery, finance, management, and/or sustainability? What are the issues that prompted a need for health care reform? Support your answer with a credible data reference. Do not use a reference already used by another student.
