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

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.

Why did Marshall describe the economy in Europe over the past 10 years as "highly
abnormal"?
Answer:
When Secretary of State Marshall accepted an invitation from Harvard University to receive an honorary degree during the first week in June 1947, the State Department informed the president of the Alumni Association that Marshall would make a speech for the afternoon meeting of the Harvard Alumni Association but that Marshall did not want it to be a major speech of the occasion. There were no discussions with representatives of other governments; there were no notifications of the American press that an important speech was to be delivered, and even Harvard President James B. Conant did not expect a major address from General Marshall.
The speech was drafted by Chip Bohlen, a Russia specialist and interpreter who used memoranda from the Director of the Policy Planning Staff George F. Kennan and from Under Secretary of State for Economic Affairs William Clayton. Bohlen especially benefited from Clayton’s graphic oral descriptions of Europe’s situation. In the memorandum he wrote, “Millions of people in the cities are slowly starving,” if the standard of living continued to deteriorate, “there will be revolution.”
On the day of the speech the capacity crowd of 15,000 in Harvard Yard did not expect to see history made but simply to see one of the most admired public servants in America. However when Secretary Marshall began to read his speech there was a recognition that the carefully worded remarks on the political and economic crisis in Europe marked an important event. In that speech, Marshall outlined the need for an economic aid plan to help the devastated nations of Europe and their citizens to recover from the ravages of World War II. When Marshall said, “It is logical that the United States should do whatever it is able to do to assist in the return of normal economic health in the world, without which there can be no political stability and no assured peace,” the Secretary of State committed the United States to consider a European recovery plan that would be developed by the Europeans and presented to the United States. Thus was launched The Marshall Plan for which George C. Marshall would be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

In paragraph form, describes the main idea of the 5 characteristics of civilization.
Answer:
A civilization is often defined as a complex culture with five characteristics which include: advanced cities, specialized workers, complex institutions, record keeping, and advanced technology. Advanced Cities Cities were the birthplaces of the first civilizations. A city is more than a large group of people living together. The size of the population alone does not distinguish a village from a city. One of the key differences is that a city is a center of trade for a larger area. Like their modern-day counterparts, ancient city dwellers depended on trade. Farmers, merchants, and traders brought goods to market in the cities. The city dwellers themselves produced a variety of goods for exchange. Specialized Workers As cities grew, so did the need for more specialized workers, such as traders, government officials, and priests. Food surpluses provided the opportunity for specialization—the development of skills in a specific kind of work. An abundant food supply allowed some people to become expert at jobs besides farming. Some city dwellers became artisans—skilled workers who make goods by hand. Specialization helped artisans develop their skill at designing jewelry, fashioning metal tools and weapons, or making clothing and pottery. The wide range of crafts artisans produced helped cities become centers of trade. Complex Institutions The soaring populations of early cities made government, or a system of ruling, necessary. In civilizations, leaders emerged to maintain order among people and to establish laws. Government is an example of an institution—a long-lasting pattern of organization in a community. Complex institutions, such as government, religion, and the economy, are another characteristic of civilization. With the growth of cities, religion became a formal institution. Most cities had great temples where dozens of priests took charge of religious duties. Sumerians believed that every city belonged to a god who governed the city’s activities. The temple was the hub of both government and religious affairs. It also served as the city’s economic center. There food and trade items were distributed. Record Keeping As government, religion, and the economy became more complex, people recognized the need to keep records. In early civilizations, government officials had to document tax collections, the passage of laws, and the storage of grain. Priests needed a way to keep track of the calendar and important rituals. Merchants had to record accounts of debts and payments. Most civilizations developed a system of writing, though some devised other methods of record keeping. Around 3000 B.C., Sumerian scribes—or professional record keepers—invented a system of writing called cuneiform , meaning “wedge-shaped.” (Earlier Sumerian writing consisted of pictographs—symbols of the objects or what they represented.) The scribe’s tool, called a stylus, was a sharpened reed with a wedge-shaped point. It was pressed into moist clay to create symbols. Scribes baked their clay tablets in the sun to preserve the writing. People soon began to use writing for other purposes besides record keeping. They also wrote about their cities’ dramatic events—wars, natural disasters, the reign of kings. Thus, the beginning of civilization in Sumer also signaled the beginning of written history. Improved Technology New tools and techniques are always needed to solve problems that emerge when large groups of people live together. In early civilizations, some farmers harnessed the powers of animals and nature. For example, they used ox-drawn plows to turn the soil. They also created irrigation systems to expand planting areas. Sumerian artisans relied on new technology to make their tasks easier. Around 3500 B.C., they first used the potter’s wheel to shape jugs, plates, and bowls. Sumerian metalworkers discovered that melting together certain amounts of copper and tin made bronze. After 2500 B.C., metalworkers in Sumer’s cities turned out bronze spearheads by the thousands. The period called the Bronze Age refers to the time when people began using bronze, rather than copper and stone, to fashion tools and weapons. The Bronze Age started in Sumer around 3000 B.C., but the date varied in other parts of Asia and in Europe.

Limited risk suggests that a uninvolved financial backer in an undertaking will not be eventually capable either for lawfully agreed responsibilities of the association, or for wrongdoings (necessary harms) serious by the organization against a pariah.
Confined commitment in arrangement is uncontroversial in light of the fact that the get-togethers to the understanding could have agreed to it and could agree to do without it by contract.
Regardless, confined commitment in wrongdoing stays problematic in light of the fact that pariahs don't agree to delay the choice to seek after financial backers.

In your own words, explain how the Woodland period was different from the Paleo period!
Answer:
By the beginning of the Woodland period, climatic conditions had reached an approximation of the modern climate. The Woodland period is marked by the manufacture of ceramic vessels, construction of mounds, an unequal distribution of exotic raw materials and finished goods, and horticultural activity. In the Arkansas River Valley region, however, very little is known of Woodland period patterns of prehistoric life. However, during this period regioinally distinct patterns of cultural activity began to develope, patterns that reached their florescence in the following period. Fourche Maline and Evans phase sites have been identified, as well as sites of the Gober complex and the Plum Bayou culture. In the northern Ouachita Mountains, the Fourche Maline phase continued the adaptational pattern of the previous period with the addition of ceramics and changes in artifact type frequencies.
