Presentation transcript:

Disorders of the nervous system HS1 – Section 8

Alzheimer's disease

Alzheimer's disease Progressive disease – starts w/ little things No known cause No cure  **Mind stimulation helps (crossword puzzles, consistency, signs around the house..etc…)

Cerebral palsy (CP)

Cerebral palsy Disturbance w/ voluntary muscular action ? birth injury or abnl. brain development Sx: head rolling, grimacing, difficult speech and swallowing No prob. w/ intellect

Epilepsy

epilepsy Seizure disorder recurring & hyper d/c from neurons Cause – uncertain Usually aura’s prior 2 Types: Grand mal – severe, convulsive seizure Petit mal – milder

Hydrocephalus

hydrocephalus Increased vol. of CSF in brain ventricles Usually, blockage in 3rd or 4th ventricle Enlargement of head Bypass or shunt performed to relieve pressure

meningitis

meningitis Inflammation of the lining of the brain & spinal cord bacterial or viral Sx – HA, fever and stiff neck If severe, may lead to paralysis, coma and death If bacterial, may be treated with abx Vaccine

Multiple sclerosis

Chronic inflammatory disease of CNS ms Chronic inflammatory disease of CNS Immune cells attack myelin sheath of axon No known cause Sx – weak limbs, numbness, diplopia, speech problems, loss of coordination, ? paralysis Typically strikes age 20 – 40 & women

neuritis

Inflammation of a nerve neuritis Inflammation of a nerve Sx : severe pain, hypersensitivity, loss of sensation, muscular atrophy and weakness, PARESTHESIA (tingling, burning, and crawling of skin) Causes – may be infectious, chemical, or because of other conditions Rx – eliminate cause, analgesics

Parkinson’s disease

Parkinson’s disease Sx – tremors, shuffling gait, pill-rolling, and muscular rigidity Decrease in neurotransmitter “dopamine” Rx –drugs to treat symptoms

Poliomyelitis (polio)

Disease of nerve pathways of spinal cord – causing paralysis polio Disease of nerve pathways of spinal cord – causing paralysis Almost eliminated in USA (vaccine)

West nile virus

West nile virus Mosquito-borne virus that can causes meningitis. Spread to humans by the bite of an infected mosquito Mosquito becomes infected by an infected bird Some have flu like sx or no sx at all Key is prevention

Cerebral Vascular Accident (cva or stroke)

cva Interruption of blood and O2 to brain 3rd leading cause of death in USA Causes of CVA Risk Factors 90% caused by blood clots 􀂃 Smoking 􀂃 Htn 10% caused by ruptured blood vessels in the brain 􀂃 Heart disease 􀂃 Family hx

Cva cont.. Sx Tx Hemiplegia on opposite side of the body Get to the hospital immediately!! Sudden, severe ha CT done to determine etiology Dizziness If a clot, treatment aimed at dissolving clot Sudden loss of vision in one eye Prevention Aphasia one asa a day Dysphasia Stop smoking Coma Exercise and lose weight Control htn

Spinal cord injury

Spinal cord injury 2 types: Complete. - almost all feeling/ability are lost below the spinal cord injury Incomplete. - some function below the injury area. Tetraplegia or quadriplegia. arms, hands, trunk, legs and pelvic organs are all affected
