⩥ AIDS dementia complex.

brain and nerves
⩥ Dementia Screening Tools.
Answer: MMSE
MOCA
SLUMS
Mini-Cog
⩥ Sinusitis treatment.
Answer: Decongestant, acetaminophen, fluids, rest, antibiotics
,Broad-spectrum antibiotics for bacterial infection
Antifungals and/or surgery for fungal infection
⩥ Symptoms of Acute Angle Glaucoma.
Answer: sudden occular pain, seeing halos around light, red eye
⩥ Giant Cell Ateritis.
Answer: an inflammation of the arteries in and around the scalp.
unknown cause.
Diagnosed by biopsy of the temporal artery.
SXS: HA, jaw pain, vision loss, fever, and fatigue.
TX: Prompt tx w/steroids to prevent permanent vision loss. NSAIDS.
Complications: irreversible vission loss
⩥ Temporal arteritis.
Answer: a form of vasculitis that can cause headaches, visual
impairment, jaw pain, and other symptoms
⩥ Trigeminal Neuralgia.
Answer: characterized by severe lightning-like pain due to an
inflammation of the fifth cranial nerve
⩥ Measurement of Jugular Oxygen Saturation.
,Answer: Normal jugular venous oxygen saturation (SJVO2) ranges
between 60 and 90%. A decline to below 50% is considered indicative of
cerebral ischaemia. Spontaneous episodes of desaturation (SJVO2 <
50% for at least 15 min) were frequent during the acute phase of these
insults.
⩥ Types of Migraine headaches.
Answer: Migraines - dysfunction of the brain stem pathways that
normally modulates sensory input. Rise in plasma serotonin dilates the
cerebral vessels.
- can be triggered by: menstrual cycle, bright lights, stress, oral
contraceptives, certain foods, fatigue, overuse of certain meds, sleep
deprivation
- migraines without aura is the most common type
- its unilateral with moderate pain; may cause photophobia, phonophobia
& nausea
Tension-type - steady & constant feeling of pressure that usually begins
in the forehead, temple or back of neck.
- often bandlike or may be described as " a weight on top of my head"
Cluster Headache - severe form of vascular headache.
- Unilateral and come in clusters of 1 to 8 daily
- excruciating pain localized to the eye & orbit, radiating to the facial &
temporal regions
, - pain accompanied by watery eyes and may have crescendo-
decrescendo pattern
- attacks last from 15min to 3 hrs
- pain described as penetrating
Cranial arteritis -
- fatigue, malaise, weight loss & fever.
- inflammation; heat redness, swelling, tenderness, or pain, over
involved artery
- sometimes a tender, swollen, or nodular temporal artery is visible.
- visual problems caused by ischemia of involved structures
- cranial arteritis thought to be immune vasculitis
⩥ Etiology of Guillain-Barre Syndrome.
Answer: normally preceded by an infection such as an intestinal diarrhea
or upper respiratory tract infection - see Campylobacter Jejuni; also
associated with systemic conditions such as HIV, sarcoidosis,
lymphoma, and SLE
⩥ Edrophonium Test (Tensilon Test).
Answer: Injection of the chemical edrophonium chloride (Tensilon) may
result in a sudden, although temporary, improvement in your muscle
strength. This is an indication that you may have myasthenia gravis.
