Contusion vs. Concussion: Symptoms, Causes, and Treatment
Author: Spinalcord.com Team
Publish Date: May 20, 2020
Contusions-and-Concussions-Are-Similar
Newly-initiated spinal cord injury survivors are hit with a dizzying array of terms to remember—and doctors aren't always the best at simplifying what their endless list of jargon actually means to patients. For example, two terms that are closely associated with head/brain injuries are contusion and concussion. These terms are often used semi-interchangeably by non-experts, but doctors often have a set definition in mind when they use either term.
“What is a contusion? What is a concussion? How do the two terms differ from one another? What treatments are available for each? How can I tell if I have a contusion or a concussion?” People who have experienced any kind of severe head injury often have questions like these. Here is some information to help you answer these questions:
What is a Contusion?
What is another name for contusion? The word “contusion” is basically another word for a bruise—a collection of blood not in a blood vessel. Contusions can also be referred to as hematomas (based on the Greek words for “blood” and “mass”).
Contusions can occur in any part of the body subjected to trauma that ruptures blood vessels. For example, say you get hit hard in the arm with a baseball, and it bruises. That bruise could be called a contusion by medical professionals. Or, say you fall hard on your back, and it bruises. That could be a sign of a spinal contusion—which can be every bit as bad as a contusion in the brain.
What is a Concussion?
The term “concussion” generally refers to widespread brain trauma due to a blow to the head, shaking, or a similar injury. While contusions can happen anywhere on the body, concussions are specific to injuries that affect the brain—and may not involve visible bruises.
The effects of a concussion are varied, and may change in severity depending on the location of the injury, the severity of the force applied to the brain, and the quality of care following the injury.
Contusion Vs Concussion
Infographic: Concussion vs Contusion
One might assume a concussion is just a more serious contusion. The reality is that the two injuries are fundamentally different. While they are related, and one can cause the other, understanding the difference between a concussion vs contusion can help you get a better idea of what to expect from your recovery journey.
Because both contusions and concussions are a type of traumatic brain injury (TBI), and because both are often the result of a fall or blow to the head, it's easy to confuse the two. Even more confusing is the fact that you can have both at the same time.
A contusion does not mean you have a concussion, but some contusions are caused by head trauma so severe that the damage affects a larger portion of your brain. Likewise, a concussion does not necessarily indicate a contusion, since shaking and other brain injuries can produce brain damage without visible bruising.
The difference between the two ultimately comes down to a simple distinction:
A contusion is any injury that causes blood to collect under the skin. Contusions range from relatively minor to life-threatening. Because the blood must clot to stop the bleeding a bruise results from, contusions also increase cardiovascular risks.
A concussion is an injury resulting specifically from brain trauma. These injuries can have both temporary and lasting

1-Coup in Iran (1953)
In this historical episode it is perfectly observed how the world works and what are the arts of the economic system to survive. It is a flagrant case of greed and evil, since it not only aimed to overthrow a democratic regime and exploit the natural resources of another country, but it also hid for 50 years in secret so that people would never know what happened.
2-Bay of Pigs Invasion (1961)
On January 1, 1959, after 25 months of guerrilla struggle, the Cuban Revolution led by Fidel Castro triumphed. Until then, and since formal independence from Spain in 1898, Cuba had been under the political and economic influence of the United States, including several military occupations (1898, 1902, and 1906). In a context of the Cold War, the US administration considered that the Cuban Revolution was a serious danger, not only due to the fact of having an ally of the Soviet Union so close, but because it was evident from very early on that the new leaders had intentions to support other revolutions in Latin America.
3-Angolan civil war (1975-2002)
The Angolan Civil War has been the longest conflict to take place in Africa. It was fought as an escalation of the Angolan War of Independence (1961-1974), which confronted several enemy Angolan movements and their allies, but it resulted immediately from the decolonization process of 1974-1975, which sharpened and amplified this war. .
4-Invasion of the Island of Granada (1983)
Grenada is a tiny island country located south of the Caribbean Sea. It is a beautiful island of just 90,000 inhabitants, and it was the scene of another imperialist movement by the United States. In this case, the Americans were not looking for peace, tranquility or beaches, but with the intention of removing from power a government they did not like.
Between 1981 and 1984, President Reagan doubled the:
A. Living space in the White House.
B. Budget for welfare programs.
C. Defense Department's budget
D. None of the above.
Between 1981 and 1984, President Reagan doubled the Defense Department's budget because of the Cold War that existed between the US and the USSR. They increased their spending because they were engaged in an armaments race with the union. Thus, option 'C' is the correct option.
Why did President Reagan build up the military?Reagan had advocated raising military expenditure while cutting taxes and domestic spending during the 1980 campaign. The Reagan defense buildup was justified by the conclusion that the Soviet Union had broken the SALT II treaty's restrictions meant to preserve nuclear parity between the superpowers.
Reagan thought that the Soviet Union had instead maintained its pursuit of nuclear hegemony. Reagan and his staff were worried that because of the Soviet Union's significant advantage in conventional combat due to the size of the Red Army, they would push their own advantage globally and put pressure on Western Europe to disarm.

Read the following summary of “Mathematician Katherine Johnson at Work.”
Katherine Johnson joined NACA in 1953 as part of a team of African American women who were trained as mathematical researchers. From the beginning, Katherine stood out as a strong leader who was eager to learn. She was also an expert at math calculations and was moved from the research team to work with engineers on flight projects. When the U.S. decided to invest in space exploration, NACA became NASA and Katherine was an important part of the program’s success. She worked on several early space missions, including the first flight to the moon. Later, she contributed to projects like the space shuttle program.
Which key detail should be included to complete the most effective summary?
Katherine contributed more to the U.S. space program than any other individual who worked for NASA.
After 1962, Katherine spent time with young people helping them find careers in science or technology.
Katherine made sure that computer calculations were correct and solved many problems by approaching them differently from the engineers she worked with.
Katherine worked for NASA for more than thirty years and, in 2015, she received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in honor of her service and contributions.

What this book is about？《Napoleon's Crimes》
Answer:
Napoleon's Crimes: A Blueprint for Hitler (French: Le Crime de Napoléon) is a book published in 2005 by French writer Claude Ribbe, who is of Caribbean origin. In the book, Ribbe advances the thesis that Napoleon Bonaparte during the Haitian Revolution first used gas chambers as a method of mass execution, 120 years before the method - as generally defined - was adopted for capital punishment in the United States and Lithuania (the only countries to have employed it for civilian, penal purposes), and 140 years before Hitler's and the Nazis' infamous mass use of gassings in the Final Solution. Ribbe's accusations in the book caused political and academic outrage when it was published, and its premise remains under contention to this day.
In the early 19th century, Napoleon had reinstated slavery in the French colonies of Saint-Domingue (now Haiti) and Guadeloupe were hit by a series of massive slave rebellions. Napoleon, as the person responsible for the reinstatement of slavery after the First French Republic had abolished it, was in charge of putting the salve revolts down, and he did so with brutal efficiency. Ribbe claims that some of Napoleon's men refused to do as they were ordered, and then later wrote journals describing the massacre. From these passages, he claims that Napoleon's troops burnt sulphur (readily collected from nearby volcanoes) to make sulphur dioxide gas, which is extremely poisonous. This would have been effective at helping to quell the rebelling Caribbean slaves.

Berlin, the nation's capital city of the Soviet Union, was split into four occupied zones as well. East of the Oder and Neisse rivers, which was under German authority, was also lost to Polish rule. The estimated 15 million ethnic German residents of this land were compelled to leave and endured appalling conditions while being driven out.
Many perished from freezing or starvation on crowded trains, while others was subject to forced labour camps run by the governments of Poland and Czechoslovakia.

I believe Alexander Hamilton created it in order to "clear up his name" by writing down the what he'd done.

The brother was ready to beg, steal, borrow, or barter
Then a hurricane came, and devastation reigned
Our man saw his future drip, dripping down the drain
Put a pencil to his temple, connected it to his brain
And he wrote his first refrain, a testament to his pain

What five characters should be included in a game about the Lewis and Clark expedition and why? You should name and describe each
character and his or her role. You must include at least one Native American and one woman in your list.
Answer:
Explanation:
Lewis and Clark's expedition added significant knowledge of the zoological and botanical of the continent, providing the first descriptions of many new species of animals, including the grizzly bear, prairie dog, pronghorn antelope, and mountain goat.
Meriwether Lewis, Clark, York, Toussiant Charbonneau, Sakakawea and her son slept together in a tepee the expedition carried. And after the expedition dropped Charbonneau, Sakakawea and her son off at the Knife River Indian villages on the way back to St. ... Louis and bring Sakakawea and the child with him.
Nevertheless, the expedition contributed significant geographic and scientific knowledge of the West, aided the expansion of the fur trade, and strengthened U.S. claims to the Pacific. Clark's maps portraying the geography of the West, printed in 1810 and 1814, were the best available until the 1840s.
Lewis and Clark's team mapped uncharted land, rivers, and mountains. They brought back journals filled with details about Native American tribes and scientific notes about plants and animals they'd never seen before. They also brought back stories—tales that made other Americans dream about heading west.
Their mission was to explore the unknown territory, establish trade with the Natives and affirm the sovereignty of the United States in the region.
