CVD, PD, MS Flashcards

1
Q

What is cerebral thrombosis?

A

When cerebral artery is clogged by clot/cholesterol usually because of atherosclerosis, which is caused by ischemia (lack of blood flower), which is caused by anoxia (lack of oxygen), which is caused by infarction/necrosis (death of brain cells)-too little blood

Q

apraxia, which dis?

A

inability to perform tasks despite adequate cognitive & motor skills (CVA)

18
Q

dysarthria, which dis?

A

weak facial muscles & joints which causes speech difficulties (paralysis in muscle), respiratory problems (CVA & PD)

19
Q

visual field deficit

A

loses vision in half of each eye

20
Q

left-side hemiplegia (aka right CVA)

A

left side paralysis (paresthesia), impulsive behavior, more dangerous than left CVA

21
Q

right-side hemiplegia (aka left CVA)

A

aphasia+++, apraxia, cautious behavior

22
Q

clot-buster drug

A

given right away

23
Q

TIA

A

transient ischemic attack; warning stroke

24
Q

decubitus ulcers/pressure sores

A

lack of sensory sensation, decrease blood flow risk skin breakdown & infection

25
Q

spasticity, which dis?

A

exaggerated muscle tone (dig nails into the skin) (CVA)

26
Q

flaccidity, which dis?

A

jello-like muscle tone (CVA)

27
Q

Parkinson’s disease

A

progressive degenerative disease of the brain, characterized by tremor @ rest, muscular rigidity, slow movement, and posture instability

28
Q

Cause of PD

A

depletion of dopamine in basial ganglia deteriorates nerve message to muscles (movment control)

29
Q

Signs & symptoms of PD

A
  1. involuntary Tremor (decr. purposeful, incr. stress);
  2. rigidity
    3 bradykinesia - slowness in all motor voluntary movements
30
Q

akinesia, which dis?

A

difficulty initiation of movements (PD)

31
Q

hypokinesia

A

decrease movement (PD)

32
Q

dyskinesia

A

unwanted jerky movements, hallucinations/delirium

33
Q

what’s one rehabilitation technique/exercise?

A

increase balance by doing taichi

34
Q

MS

A

Multiple sclerosis - a chronic, progressive disease of the CNS, interferes brain’s ability to control function like vision, muscular coordination & speech

35
Q

What is the pathology of MS?

A

disease attack myelin sheath causing inflammation causing distorted nerve impulse

36
Q

What is the possible etiology of MS?

A

Lack of vitamin D

37
Q

What are the signs & symptoms of MS

A

fluctuating s&s, asymmetrical; visual problems (optic neuritis), extreme fatigue, paresthesia (sensory) & paralysis (motor weakness)

38
Q

Optic neuritis

A

involuntary eye movement; twitch

39
Q

Hypophonia, which dis?

A

Decrease volume, monotone

40
Q

Hypophonia, which dis?

A

Deacrease volume, monotone
