QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (100%
CORRECT ANSWERS) ALREADY GRADED
A+
BAEP / R - CORRECT ANSWER-Brainstem auditory evoked
potential / response
-Diagnosis for cerbellopontine angle tumors, mutliple sclerosis,
brainstem lesions, metabolic and toxic encephalopathies,brain
death, and early prediction of outcome in postraumatic coma,
Kindling - CORRECT ANSWER-Development of epileptic seizures
(in rats) that results from repeated focal stimulation and
leads to the development of a predisposition to epileptiform
convulsions. Similar to a log will not burn unless it's kindled.
,Mirror Focus Phenomenon - CORRECT ANSWER-Concept that an
actively discharging epileptiform region may induce paroxymal
behavior in a homologous site. Related to the kindling
phenomena that occur through interhemispheric callosal or
commissural connections. It means that secondary
epileptogenic foci develop in the contralateral hemispheric by
the corpus collusum
Aura - CORRECT ANSWER-Initial sensation(s) of a seizure that
the patient is aware of in the absence of observable signs.
Provides localizing information in some cases. Precedes
temporal lobe seizures in many cases
The Principle of Beneficence - CORRECT ANSWER-An ethical
principle that addresses the idea that a medical professional's
actions should promote good by having the welfare of the
patient as a goal of any treatment. Actions should weigh
,possible benefits to risks and prevent and remove harm in any
situation and should advocate for high standards for the
greater good.
QEEG - CORRECT ANSWER-Type of EEG that allows
visualization of up to several hours of EEG data in a single
screen display. Commonly referred to as a trend analysis. This
type of EEG trending for seizure detection is based on
amplitude, frequency, rhythmicity and degree of asymmetry.
Coup - CORRECT ANSWER-Closed head injury / whiplash. The
injury is when brain are damage is on the same side as the
external force of the injury
Contra Coup - CORRECT ANSWER-Brain injury is contralateral
to the external force of injury. The brain moves away from
the external object along with the head, but the brain
eventually impacts the side of the skull, causing damage
, A deficit in one visual field indicates a lesion in the: -
CORRECT ANSWER-Contralateral occipital lobe (or optic
pathway posterior to the optic chiasm
According to guideline 12, the clinical indications for
ambulatory continuous EEG recordings - CORRECT ANSWER-
Appropriate for documentation and quantification of ictal
(clinical and subclinical) and interictal EEG features and
assessment of their relationship to reported behavior. It is
also applicable in an inpatient setting, particularly when
characterization of EEG features as is required in presurgical
evaluation
Loss of pupillary reflexes indicates: - CORRECT ANSWER-Loss
of brainstem fuction
