(Adynamic Ileus; Paralytic Ileus; Nonmechanical Bowel Obstruction; Ogilvie's Syndrome; Colonic Pseudo-obstruction)
Ileus is a type of non-mechanical bowel obstruction. It results when peristalsis stops. Peristalsis is the wavelike contractions that push contents through the digestive system.
Small Bowel Distention
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Ileus is caused by damage to the nerves controlling the intestines from surgery, infection, low blood flow, trauma, medications or changes in the body chemistry.
Risk Factors
Risk Factors
Factors that increase your chance of ileus include:
- Abdominal, joint, or spine surgery
- Intestinal injury or trauma
- Severe generalized trauma
- Abdominal bleeding.
Infections, such as:
- Abdominal infections: peritonitis, appendicitis, kidney infection, and diverticulitis
- Pneumonia
- Severe generalized infections such as sepsis
- Heart attack or stroke
- Imbalance of electrolytes, especially potassium and calcium
- Disorders that affect muscle function
- Use of certain drugs, such as narcotic pain drugs, high blood pressure medication, or chemotherapy
- A previous history of ileus
Symptoms of ileus may include:
- Abdominal swelling
- Pain
- Vomiting
- Cramps
- Hiccups
- Inability to pass stool or gas
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam and blood tests will be done. A diagnosis of ileus is usually based on symptoms and results of imaging studies.
Images may be taken of your bodily structures. This can be done with:
The lining of your colon may need to be examined. This can be done with colonoscopy.
If ileus was caused by surgery, stress or trauma it will usually resolve within 48 to 72 hours. In other cases, the disease or abnormality that caused the ileus needs to be treated. This may involve adjusting the dose of or stopping a medication, treating an infection, or replacing electrolytes.
Other treatments may be used to help ease symptoms. These may include:
Diet Limitation
People who have ileus should not be fed until the ileus has resolved.
Nasogastric Suction (NG Tube)
A tube is inserted through the nose and into the stomach to remove digestive fluids. This will help relieve pain and bloating.
Intravenous Fluids and Electrolytes
IV fluids and electrolytes are given to avoid dehydration.
There are medications that increase peristalsis, such as neostigmine and tegaserod, that can be used in some to help ileus resolve.
Colonoscopic Decompression
A flexible tube may be inserted into the colon to relieve pressure.
Rarely, surgery is required if there is a perforation or other abnormality causing the ileus.
Since ileus is generally the result of injury, surgery, or a medical condition, there is little that can be done to prevent it.

Alexandria, Kentucky
Community Information
Twelve miles south of Cincinnati along U.S. 27, in the heart of Campbell County, is Alexandria. Named after Alexandria, Virginia, the home of its first settlers, the town was laid out in the early part of 19th century, but was not incorporated until 1856. Alexandria has been the county seat of Campbell County since 1840. There are 8,500 residents.
The small town atmosphere is still evident in Alexandria. With its easy access to major highways and vast undeveloped land, however, the city is destined to become a center of significant residential growth. With U.S. 27 intersecting I-471 just north of the city, and the AA Highway crossing the southern tip of Campbell County, Alexandria is one of the "new" focal points in Campbell County and is charting a steady growth pattern. Homes in and around Alexandria vary in style and price. Prospective buyers will find an impressive selection of modest subdivision homes, stately homes and more elaborate custom homes from which to choose. Many new developments are proof positive Alexandria is the fastest growing market in Campbell County.
Public transportation is provided by the Transit Authority of Northern Kentucky (TANK). US 27, I-471, the AA Highway and several state highways provide quick access from Alexandria to Cincinnati and Kenton, Boone, Pendleton and Bracken Counties, and the southern parts of Campbell County. It takes just 30 short minutes to drive to downtown Cincinnati, Ohio or the Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky International Airport.
St. Elizabeth Hospital East is located in Fort Thomas. Nearby hospitals include St. Elizabeth Medical Center-North, St. Elizabeth Medical Center-South and St. Elizabeth West in Florence. Several doctors have offices in the city. Emergency medical service (EMS) is available.
Major shopping centers and malls are within a 20-minute drive. Alexandria, a farming community for many years, still has farm supply stores as well as several stores to serve the needs of the city farmer. Village Green Shopping Center offers a wide variety of shopping opportunities from WalMart to many smaller retailers. Established convenience stores and local chain stores are located in the city or nearby.
Alexandria Community Park has over 80 acres that were originally part of the Alexandria Reservoir. A walking trail circles the nine-acre fishing lake. This park features baseball fields, basketball courts, play area as well as miles of paved walking trails. This park hosts an annual Easter Egg Hunt, Fishing Derby, Halloween Haunted Walk and a Christmas Tree Lighting. Tribute Park is a small area that pays homage to all who serve our country – from armed services to the police, firefighters and EMS teams. There are commemorative bricks in this park that serve as personal tributes.
Alexandria has tennis and track facilities available through the public schools. Six miles from the city is a county park offering fishing, golfing, camping, picnicking and swimming. The nearby Ohio and Licking Rivers also offer water activities. Sports are plentiful and amateur softball and soccer games can be seen all summer.
The Alexandria Community Center offers fitness classes as well as other programs. Many residents enjoy a walking membership at the center.

Czechia Population: 10,644,8421 VISITOR FROM HERE!
« Previous Country | Next Country » Back to Flag Counter Overview
|At the close of World War I, the Czechs and Slovaks of the former Austro-Hungarian Empire merged to form Czechoslovakia. During the interwar years, having rejected a federal system, the new country's predominantly Czech leaders were frequently preoccupied with meeting the increasingly strident demands of other ethnic minorities within the republic, most notably the Slovaks, the Sudeten Germans, and the Ruthenians (Ukrainians). On the eve of World War II, Nazi Germany occupied the territory that today comprises Czechia, and Slovakia became an independent state allied with Germany. After the war, a reunited but truncated Czechoslovakia (less Ruthenia) fell within the Soviet sphere of influence. In 1968, an invasion by Warsaw Pact troops ended the efforts of the country's leaders to liberalize communist rule and create "socialism with a human face," ushering in a period of repression known as "normalization." The peaceful "Velvet Revolution" swept the Communist Party from power at the end of 1989 and inaugurated a return to democratic rule and a market economy. On 1 January 1993, the country underwent a nonviolent "velvet divorce" into its two national components, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The Czech Republic joined NATO in 1999 and the European Union in 2004. The country changed its short-form name to Czechia in 2016.

Czechia is a stable and prosperous market economy that is closely integrated with the EU, especially since the country's EU accession in 2004. The auto industry is the largest single industry, and, together with its upstream suppliers, accounts for nearly 24% of Czech manufacturing. Czechia produced more than a million cars for the first time in 2010, over 80% of which were exported. While the conservative, inward-looking Czech financial system has remained relatively healthy, the small, open, export-driven Czech economy remains sensitive to changes in the economic performance of its main export markets, especially Germany. When Western Europe and Germany fell into recession in late 2008, demand for Czech goods plunged, leading to double digit drops in industrial production and exports. As a result, real GDP fell sharply in 2009. The economy slowly recovered in the second half of 2009 and registered weak growth in the next two years. In 2012 and 2013, however, the economy fell into a recession again, due both to a slump in external demand in the EU and to the government's austerity measures, returning to weak growth in 2014, and stronger growth in 2015. Foreign and domestic businesses alike voice concerns about corruption, especially in public procurement. Other long term challenges include dealing with a rapidly aging population, funding an unsustainable pension and health care system, and diversifying away from manufacturing and toward a more high-tech, services-based, knowledge economy.

Froggy wrote:Letang is flashy and he does the showy stuff really well. It's just that sometimes I think he doesn't have a grasp on the basics.
I have the same thoughts.
That pass in Philly: Letang at his glorious best. The kind of thing that only a rare few players can do.
The mistake turnover on clearing a puck on the PK last nite that led to the (2nd I think) goal: the kind of thing Kris Letang does FAR too often. Plays where he has an opportunity to do BETTER and he flubs it, are a big big problem.
This is why I find it odd that people still talk about him as a Norris candidate. He is not. Even. Close.
While he has fantastic skills, he has too many of those "d'oh" moments where he fails to make basic, solid, shutdown plays. The kinds of plays that players like Lidstrom made nearly all the time. I think Letang has it in him. He is by far the most talented Pens individual D. But for every "Did he just singlehandedly muscle that guy off the puck, spin away, and skate thru 3 guys to clear the zone???" magic play, he has as many "What happened there? He missed a basic pass/clearance/check/pinch/shot" moments. That's why he's been more of a millstone around the neck of the PP than his skillset says he should be.
Until Kris has those mistake moments be a rare exception happening every few games or so... instead of happening every few shifts..... he doesn't deserve to be mentioned in Norris talk.

WHAT "When New Life Begins" book signing
WHERE Delaware Technical & Community College – Terry Campus conference center
WHEN 1 p.m., Saturday
COST $30 for the program; $12.95 for the book
INFO www.kishhomeinc.org; (302) 399-6477
Everyone has a story to tell, whether is a story of love, loss or triumph.
Several authors have come together and put pen to paper to share their stories with others, in hopes their book will inspire others to overcome, while also benefiting a good cause.
"When New Life Begins" is a compilation of stories co-authored by Ayanna Lynnay, Rodney Davis, Kishma A. George, April Holmes, Letisha Galloway, Iyana Davis and Natasha Simms. Simms, George, Davis and Galloway are locals, while the other authors are from New Jersey.
The stories included in the book range from Galloway's account of learning to live with a physical disability that required the amputation of her legs as a young child, to Davis' story of learning he had fathered a child when he was 18 and the subsequent fight to free her from the foster care system.
Copies of the book are being sold to raise money for Kingdom Investments in Single Hearts Homes (K.I.S.H), a non-profit organization that was started by George, who was working as a mentor to foster kids when one boy's stories motivated her to take action.
"This young guy had aged out of the system," George said "The day he turned 18 he had to find a place to stay, I drove him around but there wasn't room in any of the shelters. He told me to just take him to his brother's work. He slept outside that night."
The next day she was able to get him into a shelter with the help of a legislator but knowing that someone had no place to go because they had aged out of the system bothered her.
George decided that she wanted to create a home for young women to go when they age out of the foster care. She has a vision of a 24-hour supervised home where girls ages 18 to 23 can go once they age out of the system. She hopes the home can be located in Kent County.
"Youths who age out often end up homeless, incarcerated or with an unwanted pregnancy. They're still kids and they need guidance," George said.
George also hopes to provide the girls with mentoring, GED preparation, college entrance assistance, career development and mental health counseling. George is currently in the process of raising funds and looking for a site for the future home.
"This home would give them a place to go, a safe haven, somewhere to help them grow and learn who they are," said Natasha Simms, one of the co-authors of "When New Life Begins."
"When New Life Begins" is just one of many fundraising projects that George has undertaken. Previously she put together a play and the group of authors is currently working on publishing a magazine.
This Saturday the authors will be holding a fundraiser at Delaware Technical & Community College's Terry Campus, where they will be signing and selling copies of their book in order to raise money for the transitional housing. The event will also feature guest speaker Joyce Dungee Proctor, who is a motivational speaker, musical guests, vendors, giveaways and a red carpet. Each author will also take a little time to share their story. Tickets are $30 and can be purchased at Beauty Max in the Rodney Village Shopping center. Copies of the book will be $12.95. The event will start at 1 p.m. at the Dover campus' conference center.

WASHINGTON — Hillary Rodham Clinton formally resigned Friday as America's 67th secretary of state, capping a four-year tenure that saw her shatter records for the number of countries visited.
In a letter sent to President Barack Obama shortly before she was to leave the State Department for the last time in her official capacity, Clinton thanked her former foe for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination for the opportunity to serve in his administration. Clinton said it had been an honor to be part of his Cabinet.
"I am more convinced than ever in the strength and staying power of America's global leadership and our capacity to be a force for good in the world," she said in the letter.
Her resignation will be effective on the swearing-in of her successor, John Kerry, who was to take the oath of office in a private ceremony later Friday.
Clinton pushed through a throng of American foreign service workers who clamored for handshakes and smartphone photos with her and gave an emotional goodbye speech.
She told them to continue to "serve the nation we all love, to understand the challenges, the threats and the opportunities that the United States faces and to work with all our heart and all of our might to make sure that America is secure, that our interests are promoted and our values are respected."

"Class was a delicate matter, a subject for intuition rather than conversation, one of those 'borderline' subjects, deeply felt but never discussed," writes Jessica Mitford in Hons and Rebels (NYRB Classics, 2004), a memoir of growing up in the storied upper-class English family that inspired her sister Nancy's Love in a Cold Climate, reviewed earlier today. I haven't read this one, but I admired Jessica Mitford's landmark exposé of the funeral industry, The American Way of Death. And the NYRB site has a brief introduction by Christopher Hitchens and a reading group guide with more on this family of six gifted daughters and a son killed in World War II.

Some have complained that the N900 cell capability feels like an afterthought, and is missing features expected on advanced communications devices.
While the N900 may be a mobile computer first, there is no reason to accept phone shortcomings if improvements make sense and can be reasonably incorporated.
If you have ideas for UI and/or usability improvements to the cell or even VoIP functionality, add them here!

The Japanese do all their "spring cleaning" leading up to New Year's Day, the notion being that whatever state you're in when you kick off the new year is how you're destined to spend the rest of it. Which is why I've spent all day doing thirteen loads of laundry (the floor's starting to peek though again, though I could swear the carpet was a different color) and also why I plan to pop a beer shortly before the ball drops.
Holidays and ritual serve important functions in society, primarily as a reason to drink a lot of alcohol, eat a lot of food, and argue about proper greeting etiquette. Though January 1 is nothing more than an arbitrary date in the never-ending march of time, it's a good to have a time to reflect on the immediate past and be hopeful that the future will be brighter.
From where I sit, 2013 is shining like the sun, primarily because it's not an election year. I plan to keep an arm's length away from the news media and Facebook over the next 12 months. I learned more about my friends in 2012 than I ever wanted to know.
When it comes to resolutions, though, I'm more hardcore than most: When I make one, I keep them for at least 12 months. I love the built-in opportunity to try to prove to myself that I still have a modicum of willpower. When so much in the world is out of your control, isn't it nice to be able to exert some control over something?
So when I craft these, they're bold, specific, and almost always involve food. I went vegetarian in 2007 to try to curb my cholesterol and went entirely without meat for two years. In 2008, I ate not a single dessert I didn't make myself. And I gave up carbonated drinks in 2003. Except for beer. You have to keep your goals realistic.
This year, inspired by the documentary Forks Over Knives - and armed with the companion cookbook I snagged for $5 on closeout - I'm going for the gold by sticking to an entirely plant-based diet devoid of processed food and oils, with exemptions for meals abroad and my mother-in-law's cooking. The last time she tried to accommodate my vegetarianism, she insisted the bacon in her salad was okay for me because it was turkey bacon.
I've found that, when you're giving something up, it helps to have a ritual send-off. It anchors the effort in time and helps cement your resolve in your own mind. So tonight Bich and I went to Pizza Hut and ordered the items pictured below.
Stuck in snowy, icy Kirksville today, it was the best I could come up with. If Japanese superstition holds true, I'm destined to spend most of 2013 sick to my stomach.
But I'm feeling pretty cocky this year, so other resolutions follow, most of which strategically involve my Playstation 3:Learn to play the bass guitar. Thanks to Rocksmith, I got a head-start on this three days ago. Live healthier by exercising four times a week and walking every day. I'm on day 3 of the EA Sports Active 2 program and already having difficulty walking. Watch more films (Netflix), read more books (Nook), and stay out of web browsers as much as possible. Overall, I'm going to try to keep it more real and less virtual. Write a little something every day, and finally participate in NaNoWriMo. This will be on actual pencil and paper, only because the PS3 onscreen keyboard is impossible to navigate.
Why am I putting this down in some bizarre public confessional? You gotta have a partner to hold you to your word. Maybe by setting this in print, you can help keep me honest. And maybe it's time you stopped reading and checked to see what the kids are up to in the other room. They've been awfully quiet.
Time to bury the bones of the past and ... uh ... slather on the sauce of the future. Hey, it's late.

A risk factor is something that increases your likelihood of getting a disease or condition.
It is possible to develop TMD with or without the risk factors listed below. However, the more risk factors you have, the greater your likelihood of developing TMD. If you have a number of risk factors, ask your doctor what you can do to reduce your risk.
Risk factors for TMD include:
Stress-related Habits
Some of the stress-related habits that may increase your risk of TMD include:
- Habitually clenching and unclenching your jaw
- Biting your lip
- Grinding your teeth during the day and/or at night in your sleep
- Constantly or very regularly chewing things, such as gum or ice, for long periods of time
Medical Conditions
The following medical conditions may increase your risk of TMD:
- Misaligned teeth or misaligned bite
- Jaw or facial deformities
Arthritic conditions, such as:
- Osteoarthritis
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Fibromyalgia
- Synovitis, an inflammation of the membrane that lines the temporomandibular joint
- History of jaw or facial injuries such as fractures or dislocations of the jaw
- Muscle pain or spasm of the chewing muscles
- Psychological illness
Most people report TMD symptoms between the ages of 30 and 50.
TMD is more common in women than in men.
Ill-fitting Dentures
Poorly fitted dentures are thought to be a risk factor for TMD.
Other Risk Factors
There is some evidence that women taking hormone replacement therapy are more likely to develop symptoms of TMD.

Sooner Schooner
Powered by matching white ponies named Boomer and Sooner, the Schooner races across Owen Field in a triumphant victory ride after every OU score.
The Schooner was introduced in the fall of 1964 and become the official mascot of the Oklahoma Sooners in 1980.
The Ruf/Neks, OU's all-male spirit squad, maintain and drive the Schooner. Mick Cottom, a freshman Ruf/Nek member from Liberty Mounds, Okla., has the distinction of being the first person to pilot the Schooner across Owen Field in 1964.
The Sooner Schooner and accompanying ponies are kept at the Bartlett Ranch in Sapulpa, Okla. Charley F. (Buzz) Bartlett and his brother, Dr. M. S. Bartlett, organized the Doc and Buzz foundation in 1964 for the purpose of presenting scholarships to deserving students. The most sentimental thrust of the foundation was the support of the OU mascot.
The sight of the Sooner Schooner rolling across the field is one that Oklahoma fans (and most opponents) will always cherish as one of the best traditions in college athletics.
Boomer & Sooner
The mascots were introduced at the Big Red Rally on campus on August 26, 2005. A number of groups participated in the process of researching and devising the new mascots over a period of nearly three years.
The OU Athletics Department and student leaders recognized the need for a mascot to provide representation at all OU athletics contests as well as attend charity events and visit children's hospitals.
Mex the Dog
During Oklahoma football and baseball games from 1915-1928, Mex the Dog wore a red sweater with a big red letter 'O' on the side. One of his main jobs was to keep stray dogs from roaming the field during a game in the days when the football field was more accessible to non-ticketholders.
Before his career as a mascot, Mex was just a helpless 'dog waif.' Then, a U.S. Army field hospital medic found him in Mexico in 1914 during the Mexican Revolution unrest. Mott Keys was stationed along the Mexican border near Laredo, Texas, and found the dog among a litter of abandoned pups one night on the Mexican side.
Mex was adopted by Keys' company, and when Keys finished his duty and moved to Hollis, Okla., he took Mex. He later attended OU and Mex followed him again.
At OU, Mex's experience as an Army medic company mascot landed him the job with the football team and a home in the Kappa Sigma fraternity house. He quickly became Oklahoma's most famous dog. 'A joyous staccato bark cheered Sooner touchdowns' at football games and a 'victory woof' punctuated home runs at baseball games. But Mex began to gain national attention in October of 1924 when the OU football headed north to play Drake.
Mex did not board the train in Arkansas City, Kan., as the OU football team and its boosters switched cars to head for Des Moines, Iowa, and the game. Missing their beloved mascot, the Sooners were shut out by Drake, 28-0. The headline from the Arkansas Daily Traveler on October 28, 1924 left no doubt as to the cause of the humiliating loss: "Crushing Defeat of Bennie Owen's Team is Charged to Loss of Their Mascot Here."
A 50-cent reward was offered. Mex was eventually discovered in Arkansas City pacing the train station platform. OU grads J.D. Hull, Hughes B. Davis and J.C. Henley recovered Mex and the men drove him to the next Sooner game against Oklahoma A&M in Stillwater.
Mex died of old age on April 30, 1928. He was so popular among students and faculty that the university closed for his funeral and procession on May 2, 1928. He was buried in a small casket somewhere under the existing stadium.

I've a girlfriend, Amy, that's been learning the previous couple of many years and experienced a number of informal work to deliver some additional money in. Previously this yr she began performing what she promised was only entrance desk receptionist function during the night for an escort company / brothel. She was there to greet clients and deal with bookings. I began dropping her off to create certain she was secure but grew to become comfy with it following a thirty day period or so.
1 working day she arrived house and stated the proprietor, Danny, requested if she desired to do a "try-out" to begin obtaining a couple of bookings. I requested what a try-out was, to which she replied that Danny provides the woman a private session to determine if they're as much as operating regular.
"But you are not intrigued to complete that correct?" I requested.
Amy pulled a $100 invoice out her purse. "I understood we had been brief on lease this thirty day period, so I believed it might be harmless and that i did not believe it might be penetration anyway"
Now I used to be taken back again "hang on, so there was penetration or not?" I queried, my thoughts racing back again to when she was providing me a blow occupation just that early morning and appeared extremely sexy.
She provided up particulars, as though it intended it might justification her....."you know Danny, he is married, he attempts out all of the women and offers them directions how you can fuck the client and what positions to make use of. It did not imply something, it had been just like a occupation job interview. I hadn't determined I would like to become a operating woman but he provided a $100 reward."
"At initial he just requested to possess me bare, to determine what my worth could be. Then he pulled his trousers down and requested me to suck him a couple of occasions so he could see just how much I'm able to consider. I believe he even arrived a little in my mouth. By then I used to be misplaced in how to proceed as I used to be bare, he's my manager and I would currently taken the cash. He was stating this kind of good issues about my physique I received misplaced in exactly where I used to be and forgot all about you. Lastly he informed me to kneel around the mattress so he could verify my pussy. He stated he has extremely specific customers and he needs to know the ladies nicely so he can match them to customers requirements."
"So I bent more than around the mattress considering he would perhaps take a look at my pussy up near. I rested my head around the mattress, it had been spinning recognizing which i experienced just sucked my bosses dick, even when merely a couple of strokes. Abruptly I felt a power on my pussy. It took me unexpectedly. As I used to be now becoming rocked ahead I spotted he experienced plunged his cock into my pussy and was fucking me. I used to be helpless as my arms had been relaxation backwards so I could not transfer absent with him pushing me ahead together with his pelvis.

Frozen shoulder is a tightening of the tissue around the shoulder joint. It results in a loss of movement and pain at the shoulder joint.
In frozen shoulder:
- Active range of motion is lost—You cannot move your shoulder well.
- Passive range of motion is lost—Someone trying to move your arm at the shoulder joint will find it stiff and difficult to move.
This condition may get worse over time. After a period of time, the shoulder may also improve spontaneously. This improvement is called thawing.
Frozen shoulder is caused by inflammation and scarring of the soft tissues of the shoulder. This includes the capsule that surrounds the joint.
The cause of the tightening is usually not known.
Risk Factors
Frozen shoulder is more likely to occur in women between the ages of 40-65 years old.
Factors that increase your risk for frozen shoulder include:
- Diabetes, especially with complex regional pain syndrome
- Thyroid problems
- Disc problems in your neck
- Injuries to the shoulder
- Illness or injury that forces you to keep the shoulder immobile for a period of time
- Coronary artery and/or lung disease, during which time you do not move the shoulder normally
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. The range of motion in your shoulder will be tested.
Images may be taken of your shoulder. This can be done with:
Treatment focuses on:
- Relieving pain
- Restoring function and range of motion to the shoulder
Nonsurgical Options
- Pain relief with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs—To help reduce inflammation and relieve pain.
- Muscle relaxants—To help relax arm and shoulder muscles.
- Physical therapy—To stretch muscles and restore motion and function to the shoulder. This is the foundation of treatment. It requires home exercise.
- Heat and ice therapies—To help relieve pain and reduce swelling.
- Corticosteroid injections—As prescribed and given by your doctor (rarely done for this condition).
- Low-level laser therapy and pulsed electromagnetic field therapy—May have some benefit, but evidence is mixed. It may be used alone or with other therapies.
- Extracorporeal shockwave therapy—To stimulate healing using shock waves outside of the body
Closed manipulation surgery is a forceful movement of the arm at the shoulder joint. It is done to loosen the stiffness. The surgery is performed under anesthesia. The procedure is followed by intensive physical therapy.
In arthroscopic surgery, a small incision is made in the shoulder. Special small instruments are inserted through the incision. The tightened tissues are released. The shoulder is manipulated. Physical therapy must be done after this procedure.
Capsular Distension
Capsular distension is often done as a combination of an arthrogram and corticosteroid injection. The doctor expands the shoulder joint by injecting salt water under pressure. The fluid may contain cortisone and may also contain a dye that allows the shape and character of the shoulder joint to be seen.
Frozen shoulder may recur. To help prevent frozen shoulder:
- Do regular strength training and range-of-motion exercises. This will help maintain a strong and flexible shoulder joint.
- Seek prompt treatment for a shoulder injury.
- Do activities that use your shoulder joint regularly.
- After injury to an upper extremity (such as, hand, wrist, elbow), always move the shoulder through a full range of motion several times a day. This is true even when lying in bed for an illness such as a lung infection.

A UK court has handed Apple another win against Samsung regarding standards-essential patents. Judge Christopher Floyd ruled on Wednesday that Apple's mobile products do not infringe on Samsung's patents on 3G wireless networking, likely dashing Samsung's hopes of receiving royalties on such patents in the EU.
The decision is just one of many that have occurred around the globe between Apple and Samsung. And Samsung's attempts to assert patents that are considered "essential" to 3G standards have been controversial. Last year, the European Commission said it had begun investigating Samsung for trying to use its patents against competitors—which it agreed to license on fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory (FRAND) terms.
Still, Samsung tried to pursue this same strategy in the US last year, demanding up to $399 million for Apple's alleged violations (based on a 2-to-2.75 percent royalty per device), but Apple pushed back by arguing other companies would not consider Samsung's demands to be "reasonable." Judge Floyd apparently agreed, ruling in London that Samsung's infringement claims were invalid.
"We are disappointed by the court's decision. Upon a thorough review of the judgment, we will decide whether to file an appeal," a Samsung spokesperson said in a statement, according to ZDNet. "For decades, we have heavily invested in pioneering the development of technological innovations in the mobile industry, which have been constantly reflected in our products."
