Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 DEF
A test done during [a] physical examination to determine whether a patient with low back pain has an underlying herniated disk, often located at L5 (fifth lumbar spinal nerve). 11, record 2, English, - straight%2Dleg%20raise%20test
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT
When performing the straight leg raise test the patient is positioned supine in the absence of pillows. The clinician lifts the patient's symptomatic leg by the posterior ankle while keeping the knee in a fully extended position. The clinician continues to lift the patient's leg by flexing at the hip until pain is illicited or end range is reached. Neurologic pain which is reproduced in the leg and low back between 30-70 degrees of hip flexion is a positive result of lumbar disc herniation at the L4-S1 nerve roots. In order to make this test more specific, the ankle can be dorsiflexed and the cervical spine flexed. This increases the stretching of the nerve root and dura. 2, record 2, English, - straight%2Dleg%20raise%20test

Le test d’élévation de la jambe tendue est un signe essentiel de hernie discale. [Le patient est allongé sur le dos et l'opérateur soulève la jambe tendue.] Ainsi, le genou est en extension pendant toute la manœuvre et l’opérateur pratique une flexion de hanche sans abduction, adduction et sans rotation. Le pied est laissé libre. Il s’agit donc d’une limitation douloureuse de la flexion de hanche. [...] On peut affirmer qu’il existe chez le sujet de moins de 50 ans une hernie discale, si l’EJT est positif. Par contre si l’EJT est négatif, il peut exister une compression nerveuse (exemple : canal lombaire étroit). 3, record 2, French, - test%20d%26rsquo%3B%C3%A9l%C3%A9vation%20de%20la%20jambe%20tendue

This pose is named cobra because it resembles an upward position of a serpent snake. Cobra pose is beneficial in many ways, both physically and mentally. It works on opening up four chakras within the body : the root/sex, navel, heart and throat chakra. This helps to keep you balanced within. It's also great for those suffering with any back pain. 4, record 3, English, - cobra%20pose

Percutaneous Balloon Microcompression. Fluoroscopy is used to guide a 14-gauge access needle through the skin of the cheek into the entrance of the foramen ovale.... A 4. 0 french(1. 35 mm) balloon catheter is inserted through the cannula of the needle and advanced to the entrance of Meckel' s cave. The balloon, filled with approximately 0. 75-1 ml of a contrast material, is inflated to compress the gasserian ganglion and nerve root against the dura and the petrous ridge for 1 minute. The contrast material allows the position of the balloon to be verified under fluoroscopy. After deflation, the balloon and cannula are removed concurrently. 3, record 5, English, - percutaneous%20balloon%20microcompression

Successful tree planting begins in the tree nursery with bimonthly cultivating, pruning of roots, and fertilization. This is essential to assure healthy trees and compact root structure. Planting holes for bare-root trees should be large enough to receive roots when they are spread in a natural position. Planting holes for balled and burlapped trees should be 2 feet wider than the root ball. Ideally, holes should be as wide and deep as can conveniently be made, so that the tree can be placed at the same levels as it originally grew in the nursery. 2, record 6, English, - tree%20planting
