clinical neurology 100-130 Flashcards
Wernicke's area corresponds most closely to Brodmann's area(s) A. 17 B. 19 C. 22 D. 41 and 42 E. 44
C 22
Complications of diabetes generally thought to be vascular in origin include I. ophthalmoplegia 11. acute mononeuropathy 111. mononeuritis multiplex IV. distal sensorimotor polyneuropathy A. I, 11,111 B. I, I11 C. 11, IV D. IV E. all of the above
A.I. ophthalmoplegia
11. acute mononeuropathy
111. mononeuritis multiplex
Mer p. 624, V&A pp. 1396-1398. The progressive sensorimotor polyneuro- pathy is generally (but not universally) thought to be metabolic in origin.
Each of the following is consistent with a cholinergic crisis in a patient with myasthenia gravis being treated with pyridostigmine (Mestinon) except
A. bradycardia
B. diarrhea
C. increased strength after the Tensilon test
D. miosis
E. sweating
C.increased strength after the Tensilon test
V&A p. 1544. The weakness of a cholinergic crisis is unaffected by Tensilon (edrophonium).
The genetic transmission of the MELAS syndrome is A. autosomal dominant B. autosomal recessive C. maternal inheritance D. sporadic E. X-linked recessive
C. maternal inheritance
V&A p. 985. The MELAS syndrome is a mitochondria1 disease associated with a maternal inheritance.
acute hyperextension A. anterior cord syndrome B. Brown-Sequard syndrome C. central cord syndrome D. AandB E. none of the above
C. central cord syndrome
flexion injury A. anterior cord syndrome B. Brown-Sequard syndrome C. central cord syndrome D. AandB E. none of the above
A. anterior cord syndrome
dissociated sensory loss A. anterior cord syndrome B. Brown-Sequard syndrome C. central cord syndrome D. AandB E. none of the above
A. anterior cord syndrome
Among the incomplete syndromes, this has the best prognosis. A. anterior cord syndrome B. Brown-Sequard syndrome C. central cord syndrome D. AandB E. none of the above *
C. central cord syndrome
dreaming A. REM sleep B. non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep C. both D. neither
C. both
adult somnambulism A. REM sleep B. non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep C. both D. neither
B. non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep
desynchronization of the EEG A. REM sleep B. non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep C. both D. neither
A.REM sleep
K complexes A. REM sleep B. non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep C. both D. neither
B. non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep
sleep spindles A. REM sleep B. non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep C. both D. neither
B. non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep
Glucose metabolism in the brain is increased in comparison to the waking state.
A. REM sleep
B. non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep
C. both
D. neither
A. REM sleep
For questions 108-113 see V&A pp. 405-407. Although most dreams occur inrapid eye movement (REM) sleep, they can occur in non-REM (NREM) sleep.Adult somnambulism, K complexes, and sleep spindles all occur in NREM sleep (the latter two in stage 2). Glucose metabolism in the brain isincreased in REM and decreased in NREM sleep in comparison to the wakingstate.
myophosphorylase deficiency
A. glycogen storage disease type 11 (acid maltase deficiency)
B. glycogen storage disease type V (McArdle’s disease)
C. both
D. neither
B. glycogen storage disease type V (McArdle’s disease)
