Transverse Myelitis Transverse myelitis is a neurological disorder caused by inflammation (swelling) across both sides of one level or segment of the spinal cord. Inflammation can damage or destroy myelin, the fatty protective substance that covers nerve cell fibers.

Transverse Process Fracture: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know According to Sports Injury Clinic: A transverse process is a bony protrusion from the back of a vertebrae bone in the spine. There is one on each side of every vertebrae in the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine. … A transverse process fracture … usually results from a sudden extreme twisting or side-bending movement.

transverse transverse tubules. structures in myofibers which run transversely to the long axis of the myofibrils in skeletal and cardiac muscle. They are filled with basal lamina material and are part of the communication system of muscle fibers and provide a means for the passage of action potentials into the depths of the fibers.

A to Z List of Neurological Disorders Transverse myelitis is a neurological disorder caused by inflammation across both sides of one level, or segment, of the spinal cord. The term myelitis refers to inflammation of the spinal cord; transverse simply describes the position of the inflammation, that is, across the width of the spinal cord.ain is the primary presenting symptom of transverse myelitis in approximately one-third to one-half of all patients. The pain may be localized in the lower back or may consist of sharp, shooting sensations that radiate down the legs or arms or around the torso.

What Is A Transverse Process Fracture? From SW.org : A fracture of a transverse process is a break of a part of one of the bones in the spine. This part extends out from the side of the main body of the bone (called the vertebral body). A transverse process is shaped like a wing. They extend from both the left and right sides of the vertebral body.ext post Prev post. Use your ← → (arrows) to browse.

- An oblique fracture is when the break has a curved or sloped pattern. A comminuted fracture is when the bone breaks into several pieces. A buckled fracture, also known as an impacted fracture, is one whose ends are driven into each other. This is commonly seen in arm fractures in children.

Understanding Bone Fractures -- the Basics An open fracture is one in which the bone breaks through the skin; it may then recede back into the wound and not be visible through the skin. This is an important difference from a closed fracture because with an open fracture there is a risk of a deep bone infection. Some fracture types are: 1  A Greenstick fracture is an incomplete fracture in which the bone is bent. 2  This type occurs most often in children. 3  A transverse fracture is when the broken piece of bone is at a right angle to the bone's axis.

Transverse wave A light wave is an example of a transverse wave. Propagation of a transverse spherical wave in a 2d grid (empirical model). A transverse wave is a moving wave that consists of oscillations occurring perpendicular (or right angled) to the direction of energy transfer.If a transverse wave is moving in the positive x-direction, its oscillations are in up and down directions that lie in the y–z plane.Light is an example of a transverse wave.With regard to transverse waves in matter, the displacement of the medium is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave. A ripple in a pond and a wave on a string are easily visualized as transverse waves.ight is an example of a transverse wave. With regard to transverse waves in matter, the displacement of the medium is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave.

- Longitudinal Fractures. Structure of the break: These fractures are usually quite long in length and travel along the axis of the bone they are in. As these fractures always follow the axis of the bone they are always non-displaced fractures.

Vertebral Compression Fracture 1 Pathologic fracture is a fracture occurring in the vertebra due to preexisting disease at the fracture site.  Most commonly, this type of break is from cancer in the bone, which has often traveled from other sites in the body (called metastasis), such as from the prostate, breast, or lungs.
