1
Q

Upper Motor Neuron vs Lower Motor Neuron?

A

UMN - LMN
Spastic paralysis - flaccid paralysis
No atrophy - Severe atrophy
Deep tendon reflex is increased - DTR is absent
Positive babinski sign - absent babinski sign
Absent superficial reflex - present sup reflex
No fasciculation and fibrillation - fasciculation and fibrillation could be present
Spasticity (clasp knife) - hypotonia

DİPNOT: Spasticity and rigidity are hypertonia types therefore they are not the same thing

What is myostatin mutation?

A

Myostatin-related muscle hypertrophy is a rare genetic condition characterized by reduced body fat and increased skeletal muscle size. Affected individuals have up to twice the usual amount of muscle mass in their bodies, but increases in muscle strength are not usually congruent.

Q

what is pyramidal tract?

A

The pyramidal tracts are part of the UMN system and are a system of efferent nerve fibers that carry signals from the cerebral cortex to either the brainstem or the spinal cord. It divides into two tracts: the corticospinal tract and the corticobulbar tract.

Q

Why there is + babinski sign in UMN lesions?

A

Due to reflex arch. Mostly corticospinal tract s upper motor neurons inhibit the lower. So, if upper motor neuron is inhibited, the lower motor neurons cause accentuated reflex which causes + babinski reflex.

32
Q

Info about Basal ganglia

A

The basal ganglia are interconnected deep
nuclei including the putamen, caudate,
globus pallidum and substantia nigra with
complicated interrelations.

They are involved in the integration of motor
and sensory inputs. when things go wrong,
they produce clinical syndromes of
involuntary movement.

33
Q

Info abt brain stem

A

The brain stem contains nuclei, including
the reticular formation, which maintains
consciousness, and those for the cranial
nerves (3– 12), and the large white
matter tracts running from the spinal
cord to more central structures and vice
versa

The descending motor tract, the
corticospinal tract, mostly crosses over
(decussates) in the pyramids in the
medulla. The ascending dorsal column
crosses in the medulla

The fact that these tracts cross in the
brain stem is helpful in localization of any
lesion. A brain stem lesion can produce a
cranial nerve lesion on one side and limb
signs on the other side

34
Q

Sympathetic and parasym system localization distribution?

A

Sympathetic ‘alarm’ system, which arises
from the spinal segments T1 to L2

Parasympathetic ‘holiday’ system, which
arises from the brain stem (associated
with cranial nerves 3, 7 and 9) and the
spinal segments S2–4

35
Q

CSF values?

A

no RBC’s,
* few WBC’s,
* Glucose 45-75mg/dl,
* Protein 15-45 mg/dl.

36
Q

What is anosmia and which disease is it related to?

A

Anosmia: Koku alamama.
Due to blocked nasal passages, trauma, a relative loss occurs with aging and Parkinson’s disease

37
Q

(Göz info kısmında da bulunuyor)
What are horner syndrome and Argyll Robertson pupil

A

Horner’s synrome: Caused by
interruption of the sympathetic
innervation of the pupillary dilator
muscle.

Argyll Robertson pupil: It is occasionally
seen in midbrain lesions (tectum). Some
favor the ciliary ganglion as the site of
the lesion. Its majör components:
responds to accommodation. Does not
respond to light, irregular

    a) Spinothalamic
    b)Dorsal Column
  • Cortical-integrative Sensory System

Dorsal Column-Medial Lemniscal System-Proprioception
* Vibration
* Position

40
Q

what is cauda equina syndrome?

A

(CES) occurs when the nerve roots of the cauda equina
are compressed and disrupt motor and sensory
function to the lower extremities and bladder
* Patients with back pain should be aware of the
following “red flag” symptoms that may indicate CES:
* Severe low back pain
* Motor weakness, sensory loss, or pain in one, or more
commonly both legs
* Saddle anesthesia (unable to feel anything in the body areas
that sit on a saddle)
* Recent onset of bladder dysfunction (such as urinary
retention or incontinence)
* Recent onset of bowel incontinence
* Sensory abnormalities in the bladder or rectum
* Recent onset of sexual dysfunction
* A loss of reflexes in the extremities

41
Q

What is a seizure¿

A

Sudden and uncontrolled electrical disturbance in the brain that is causing a change in movement, behavior, sensation, or any other neurological function.

42
Q

What is the diagnostic criteria of epilepsy¿

A

Classical definition: two or more recurrent stereotypic unprovoked seizures.

Additional info: the Condition is characterized by a predisposition to recurrent stereotypic seizures of a CNS origin (caused by idiopathic reasons, tumors, strokes, etc.)

43
Q

What provokes seizure formation¿

A

Hyponatremia.

SSRI’s, increased water intake and diuretics might cause hyponatremia, therefore seizures too.

44
Q

What is a spell¿

A

Halk ağzı ile seizure.

(Bu kısımdan emin değilim) epileptik olmayan seizureları daha çok kapasıyor gibi.

İnfo: epileptik olmayan seizure örneği, vasovagal syncope.

45
Q

What are the key features of two seizure types, which are partial and generalized¿

A

Partial —> starts from cortex. Further divided into: simple, complex, secondary generalized.

Generalized —> starts from thalamus, whole cortex gets affected. Further divided into: absence, myoclonal, tonic, atonic, generalized tonic clonic

46
Q

Which medication types should be given to the patients who have seizures¿

A

GABA and K promoter, Na Cl Ca channel and Glutamate inhibitor
