The pain is made worse by passively stretching the muscle bellies traversing the affected fascial compartment. ![]() The most reliable symptom of compartment syndrome is severe pain, disproportionate to the injury, which is not readily improved with initial measures (such as analgesia, elevation to the level of the heart, and splitting a tight cast). ![]() Symptoms tend to present within hours, although it can develop up to 48 hours post-insult. ![]() Paraesthesia is therefore a common symptom.Īs the intra-compartmental pressure reaches the diastolic blood pressure, the arterial inflow will be compromised, and the leg will become ischaemic. This causes a sensory +/- motor deficit in the distal distribution. Next, the traversing nerves are compressed. This increases the intra-compartmental pressure further. This increases the hydrostatic pressure within them, causing fluid to move down its gradient and out of the veins in to the compartment. 2).Īs pressure increase, the veins will be compressed. Other causes include iatrogenic vascular injury, tight casts or splints, deep vein thrombosis, and post-reperfusion swelling.įascial compartments are closed and cannot be distended consequently, any fluid that is deposited therein will cause an increase in the intra-compartmental pressure (Fig. Compartment syndrome: the importance of early diagnosis.Figure 1 – Cross section of the muscles of the distal forearm, highlighting those of the posterior compartment PathophysiologyĬompartment syndrome typically occurs following high-energy trauma, crush injuries, or fractures that cause vascular injury.

Sifu leg sweep2/7/2024 But it is an extremely complicated movement for simply a method of returning to a standing position? Many students of Chinese martial arts have seen it used as simple leg sweeps, but what if it also could be used for the guard sweeps so common in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu? Or perhaps even the arm bars and triangle chokes used from the guard? It is often seen as simply a way to get up. Most Chinese martial artists have learned the scissors legs (“Gaau Jin Geuk”) that appears universally in all traditions’ ground fighting teachings. Also, those who really are familiar with the diversity of Chinese martial arts might find techniques similar to Gracie jiujitsu. The original Gracie family jiujitsu contained a lot of kicks from the ground upwards at an attacker, techniques that would seem familiar to Chinese martial artists. ![]() It was also designed for “Vale Tudo” or no-holds-barred fighting. The original Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, as developed by the Gracie family (as opposed to sport jiujitsu which has come up rather recently by comparison) was a self defense art. Unfortunately, most are not that educated regarding the actual art. The most common Chinese martial arts ground fighting tactic is indeed kicks from the ground.Ī lot of people who identify themselves as traditional Chinese martial artists are highly critical of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. If you can’t get off the ground quickly enough, the next tier of defense is defending against the standing attacker. ![]() The first ground fighting skill is learning to stand back up. He may known that his chances are reduced in combat with weapons, against multiple attackers, etc, but he won’t abandon all hope and resign to his fate. The man training for personal combat wants potential solutions should he find himself on the ground. The man training to defend himself is not a general willing to sacrifice troops to achieve victory, he is the very individual the general would sacrifice to achieve larger aims. The single man is NOT a consideration, so the man who finds himself on the ground is NOT a concern.Īs these methods trickle down to the general population and become methods of personal defense, the frame of reference changes. When we talk about battlefield combat, casualties are both unavoidable and accepted, a price of doing business. On a battlefield, a man who falls or is taken to the ground is likely to be stabbed, speared, crushed or trampled to death. With the proper context we can understand the proper application.Īs a battlefield combat art, there is very little place for ground fighting. ![]() The sooner we can realize that the evolution from battlefield combat method to personal combat method is not all that different from the same evolutionary path that took place in Japan, and even took place in Europe. The sooner we accept these origins, the sooner we can examine a correct history and appreciate its consequences. Set aside fanciful stories about Buddhist and Daoist monks, spiritual alchemy, achieving enlightenment and later history of cultural appropriation and examine Chinese martial arts for what they originally were intended, combat.

![]() As the circle on this Xehanort saga get closer to being complete, you can still pre-order the game on Amazon if you'd like, which will net you an exclusive Keyblade alongside the copy you chose. Kingdom Hearts III will have a special event in Disney Springs in Orlando, Florida where fans can play a demo as well as see life-sized models of Keyblades and more. As we get closer to the game's release on January 29, 2019, the more Disney and Square Enix are promoting it. Whether you are new to the series or are a Kingdom Hearts veteran, this game provides a unique experience unlike any game before it. The last trailer for the month will be a short 30-second one for movie theaters.Īfter Kingdom Hearts III went gold in late November, the game's file size on Xbox One was discovered on Microsoft's Japanese website. Welcome to Kingdom Heart Re:Chain of Memories. Kingdom Hearts: Melody Of Memories Directors On Retelling The Series Story And Working With Disney - Feature Nintendo Life The biggest thing that hasnt. This next trailer will be the game's "final" trailer and should be released around December 18. There are still two more trailers that are supposed to be released this December. The only spin-offs not shown in the near two-minute trailer were Re: coded, A Fragmentary Passage, and the animated movie, Back Cover. Kingdom Hearts 3 closed off the Xehanort saga and ended with Sora being defeated by a mysterious enemy named Yozora who looks rather similar to Noctis from the original Final Fantasy Versus XIII trailer. This is reminiscent of one of the first Kingdom Hearts III trailers where a young Xehanort plays chess with a young Eraqus. Where is Kingdom Hearts 4 set Kingdom Hearts 4 is set in a new world called Quadratum after the events of Kingdom Hearts 3. All these scenes fly in and out while a young Xehanort moves chess pieces around a board. We see characters and scenes from Birth By Sleep, Kingdom Hearts, Chain of Memories, 358/2 Days, Kingdom Hearts II, and Dream Drop Distance. The trailer acts like chronological cliff notes for the key games from the series' past. This time the game's opening cinematic gets a snappy trailer with the new song from Hikaru Utada & Skrillex called "Face My Fears." This is the first of three new trailers for Kingdom Hearts III that will be released this month. KINGDOM HEARTS III tells the story of the power of friendship as Sora and his friends embark on a perilous adventure. Yet another new trailer has been released for Kingdom Hearts III. Its possible that we see another smaller Kingdom Hearts title at one of these shows in the vein of Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories, Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep, and Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance, but its pretty unlikely that we see anything from Kingdom Hearts 4 here.

Cta bus driver uniform2/7/2024 The city has already taken some steps to keep drivers safer, such as fitting buses with an enclosure that keeps drivers separate from passengers, Hill said. The union is working with the CTA and the Mayor’s Office to evaluate options for making transit safer. “If people don’t feel safe, they’re not going to get on the bus or the train in the first place,” he said.Ī spokesperson for CTA declined to comment on the incident.ĭrivers are looking to elected officials and law enforcement agencies to take action to keep buses and trains safe so CTA can live up to its reputation as a world-class transit system, Hill said. Ridership has been recovering, but safety issues are likely a key concern stopping many commuters from choosing public transit, he said. Those concerns come as the CTA is already struggling with staffing, leading to many train and bus lines seeing service cuts.Īnd the concerns aren’t just affecting CTA workers, Hill said. If a person don’t feel safe, why would they go to work?” Hill said. “If we don’t see something soon, we’re going to have to change our mindset about driving these routes. RELATED: As Complaints Of Late Trains And Missing Buses Mount, City Officials Call For Hearing On ‘Deteriorated’ CTA Serviceĭozens of riders were on the West Side bus at the time of the shooting and the relatively new driver was “very distraught” and “scarred” by the shooting, Hill said. Robberies and batteries are both up significantly from pre-pandemic levels on the CTA, according to a CBS Chicago data analysis.īut many bus drivers don’t feel safe coming to work as the risk of violence has “grown tremendously” for CTA workers and passengers, said Keith Hill, president of Amalgamated Transit Union Local 241, which represents bus drivers. The teen’s identity had not been released by the Cool County Medical Examiner’s office as of Tuesday morning.Ĭrime on the CTA has been a consistent problem for the last year, leading to officials adding more police and guards to popular routes and stations. ![]() The teen died, while the other passenger had a graze wound, police said. Two men got onto the bus, walked to the back and shot the teen and another passenger. ![]() ![]() Sunday in the 300 block of South Pulaski Road, police said. WEST GARFIELD PARK - Bus drivers are calling for better safety protocols on the CTA after a 17-year-old boy was shot and killed while riding the bus on the West Side.

My favorite things ideas2/7/2024 ![]() You want to make sure that everyone can attend and will not opt-out due to budgeting reasons. Once all gifts have been distributed, each person can talk about why they choose each of the items they brought.īefore choosing one of these three options, think about the guests you are going to invite and what will be affordable based on the number of guests you will have at your party. After that, it is unable to be stolen, and the person who has it will keep the gift. You can steal a gift a total of two times. Participants can either choose a gift on the table or steal from someone who already opened a gift. You’ll again choose numbers from a bowl to see who gets to pick first. The difference is that this exchange is done in white elephant style. Wrapped Favorite Things PartyĪ wrapped favorite things party is similar to unwrapped because you need to bring three gifts to the party, regardless of how many people are at the party. Just like the original favorite things party, each guest will have a turn to talk about why they choose those specific items. This will be done a total of three times, so every person will get to take home three items. After the first round, guests will choose numbers again and repeat the process. Whoever draws the first number will get to choose which item on the table they would like to take. Everybody will draw a number from a bowl to see who gets to choose an item first. ![]() In this alternative, instead of bringing an item for every person at the party, your guest will bring three unwrapped gifts. After everyone has spoken about the things they brought, each guest will get to take one of each to take home. When the guest arrives, they can use a name tag to display their products.Įvery person gets a turn to showcase their specific item and talk about why they chose it. The classic favorite things party is when each guest brings enough items for every other guest at the party to enjoy. It just depends on what sounds more fun to you. ![]() There are three different ways you can choose to run your Favorite Things Party. It’s super important to determine the budget and make it clear to every invitee so that everyone is on the same page. However, if you’re inviting fewer guests, you could change the limit to be anywhere between $10-$30. If you’re planning on inviting a ton of guests, use a low budget limit of $5 per gift to ensure that everyone can participate. That means if 10 guests are going to show up, you guest will bring 10 gifts to the party. The idea is that each guest will bring a certain number of items depending on how many guests are attending. Start by Setting a Budgetīefore sending out the invitations, you need to set a budget limit. If a Favorite Things Party sounds fun, follow these steps to create your own party. Typically, this type of party will last anywhere from one to three hours. You can choose to invite as few or as many friends, neighbors, and co-workers as you want to enjoy the party with you.

Homebrew better unarmed strike 5e2/6/2024 ![]() Add the wielder’s Strength bonus (if any) to damage rolls for melee attacks with a light weapon if it’s used in the primary hand, or one-half the wielder’s Strength bonus if it’s used in the off hand. It indicates whether a melee weapon, when wielded by a character of the weapon’s size category, is considered a light weapon, a one-handed weapon, or a two-handed weapon.Ī light weapon is easier to use in one’s off hand than a one-handed weapon is, and it can be used while grappling. This designation is a measure of how much effort it takes to wield a weapon in combat. Light, One-Handed, and Two-Handed Melee Weapons ![]() Then add on top of that, that if a monk has natural attacks of his own, he can add those ON TOP OF his unarmed strike attack routine, just like a monster with natural attacks and a manufactured weapon can slash you with a sword a bunch of times and then gore you with its horns. Also, unarmed strike attacks can be used interchangably with special monk weapons in a flurry, which again implies that an unarmed strike is the equivalent of a manufactured weapon. This general stance is also backed up by the itterative attack sequence only granted to manufactured weapons, natural weapons only get on attack per round buy default. A Small monk deals less damage than the amount given there with her unarmed attacks, while a Large monk deals more damage see Table: Small or Large Monk Unarmed Damage. The unarmed damage on Table: The Monk is for Medium monks. She has the same choice to deal lethal or nonlethal damage while grappling.Ī monk’s unarmed strike is treated both as a manufactured weapon and a natural weapon for the purpose of spells and effects that enhance or improve either manufactured weapons or natural weapons.Ī monk also deals more damage with her unarmed strikes than a normal person would, as shown on Table: The Monk. Usually a monk’s unarmed strikes deal lethal damage, but she can choose to deal nonlethal damage instead with no penalty on her attack roll. A monk may thus apply her full Strength bonus on damage rolls for all her unarmed strikes. There is no such thing as an off-hand attack for a monk striking unarmed. ![]() This means that a monk may even make unarmed strikes with her hands full. A monk’s attacks may be with either fist interchangeably or even from elbows, knees, and feet. They did learn something, it’s just not what you expected them to learn.At 1st level, a monk gains Improved Unarmed Strike as a bonus feat. Then they go off and learns martial arts and comes back knowing how to do either 1d4+ (Str or Dex) slashing damage with their Natural Weapon, or1d4+ (Str or Dex) bludgeoning damage with their Unarmed Strike. The other aspect to consider is that Leonin could just innately not need training to use their claws as it is a part of their form, and players would need to consider the other RP aspects that answer why the Leonin decided to become a monk to begin with and lean more into that.Ī Leonin knows how to use its claws and brute force to do 1d4+Str slashing damage with their Natural Weapon, or their punches and kicks with brute force to do 1+Str bludgeoning damage with their Unarmed Strike. Basically what I mean is just ignore the whole you can reroll the weapon’s damage dice where it implies it only works for weapons bit and let it work for your Leonin's unarmed strikes. I'd just make a special case where a Leonin Monk's unarmed attacks count as a weapon in regards to the Savage Attacker feat possibly. Seems a playable race with natural weapons should get better at using those natural weapons with training versus a commoner of that race with no training. Doesn't training make them better in some negligible way? Know vital points, gets faster, something?

Over the counter anti nausea2/6/2024 ![]() It is frequently used to treat stomach problems such as ulcerations and for pets with nausea or who are prone to vomiting.įamotidine is the most commonly used in this class due to its improved mechanism of action and length of action. Human OTC Stomach Medications Often Used in Dogs Famotidine (Pepcid®)įamotidine, commonly known by the brand name Pepcid® among others, is a histamine H2 receptor antagonist that decreases the production of acid in the stomach.

We will include information about stomach medications used for vomiting, drugs to treat diarrhea, drugs that can be used to treat allergies, and medications for car sickness.
