Posterior Slow Waves of Youth (PSWY) - ANS High voltage theta or delta waves, commonly seen in children 8-14 years of age, accentuated by hyperventilation 3-6 months - ANS a reactive PDR to eye closure first appears around how many months of age Electral decrementals - ANS what is a sign of infantile spasms in a EEG delta brush - ANS A pattern of 1-1.5 Hz activity with superimposed 8-12 hz activity that is seen in neonates is called what Trace Alternant - ANS Bursts of slow waves, at times intermixed with sharp waves and intervening periods of relative quiescence (quiet and inactive) with extreme low-amplitude activity central - ANS where are delta brushes expected to be seen in a 27 week old neonate 32-34 weeks - ANS delta brush patterns are commonly seen at what age Hypsarrhythmia - ANS In the Periods between seizures, EEG shows Irregular and disorganized activity in the EEG. no distinguishable pattern, often seen in Infantile Spams posative - ANS what type of polarity does lambda have Highest number 5 Hz - ANS if you want to attenuate slow waves (ie. make slow waves dissapear) you need to use the biggest number in seconds - ANS if you want to enhance slow wave activity on a time constant what number would you use. Alzheimer's disease - ANS which of the following diseases typically produces diffused slowing in a EEG. 1. Meningioma 2. Cerebral abscess 3. Alzheimer's 4. cerebral thrombosis REM in the onset Sleep - ANS which of the following is a characteristic feature in a EEG of a narcolepsy patient 1.FIRDA 2.REM in the onset of sleep 3.Increase in EMG 4. Diffused delta slowing Teberculosis - ANS most common infection worldwide acquired in the hospital- HBV, HBC, HIV - ANS what is a nosocomial infection, and what are the top three infections Crutzfeld - Jacob Disease - ANS spongiform encephalopathy that is a prion based disease, and is passed by contact with tissue from certain organs. FIRDA - ANS frontal delta metabolic encephalopathy frequency decreases - ANS how do triphasic waves change with the deepening level of a coma coma patients, hepatic uremia, kidney or liver issues - ANS continuous 2/sec GPDS with triphasic morphology is seen in what type of patients. 24 hours - ANS how long after dialysis should you wait to complete a diagnostic EEG drug overdoses, coma, hyperthermia, Reyes syndrome, encephalopathy - ANS burst suppression is usually seen with what type of patients Pediatrics, hyperthermia, drug induced. - ANS burst suppression usually has a poor prognosis unless seen in what type of patients. West syndrome - ANS infantile spasms, cognitive delay, multifocal hypserthymia is usually a sign of what. LPDS (PLEDS) - ANS associated with herpes simplex encephalitis, cerebral infarction, brain tumor, and cerebral abscess non - ANS alpha coma is _____ reactive and has a poor prognosis drugs - ANS beta coma is caused by what simple partial seizure - ANS a partial seizure, starting from a focus and remaining localized, that does not produce loss of consciousness Jacksonian March Seizure - ANS a phenomenon where a Simple partial seizure spreads from the distal part of the limb toward the ipsilateral face (on the same side of the body). They involve a progression of the location of the seizure in the brain, which leads to a "march" of the motor presentation of symptoms.
