ALS is
rare, progressive disorder.. loss of motor neurons
death with ALS occurs within
2-6 years
Presenting symptoms of ALS
weakness, muscle wasting
ALS peripheral or central
both
Mechanism of ALS
loss of motor neurons
Diagnoisis of ALS
neuro exam EMG, CPK
Advanced stage of ALS
speech and swallow
Terminal stage of ALS
dyspnea SOB, speaking no longer possible
ALS treatment is
Riluzole.. slows progression
GBS peripheral or central
peripheral
Mechanism of Illness for GBS
PNS, dymyelination, edema, inflammation
Presenting symtomps of GBS
lower extremity weakness, URI, of GI infection
Diagnosis of GBS
clinical picture EMG, incr CSF protein
Treatment of GBS
immunotherapy, Plasmaphoresis
what is myelin
lipoprotein from neural support cell bodies that wrap around neural axons
GBS is acute or chronic
ACUTE!
with GBS look at to diagnosis
brain MRI to rule out MS
genetically transmitted autosomal dominate.. progressive degenerative brain disorder
hunningtons disease
with hunningtons disease
high caloric requirements. 4,000-5000 calories per day
Uncontrollable and sometimes overwhelming urge to move legs. shows at night.. relaxing makes worst

central
Mechanism of MS
CNS demyelination, axonal injury, glial scarring
Presenting symtomps of MS
numbness, vision changes, depression, dysfunctional elimination
Diagnosis of MS
MRI , increase in immunoglobin G, presence of iligoclonal banding in CSF … WEAKNESS and FATIGUE
Treatment of MS
immunomodulators. immunosuppreseant

total cholesterol should be
should be less than 200
calcium causes
both hyper and hypo dysrhythmias
magnesium causes
life threatening dysrthmias
does negative EKG rule out MI
NOOOOO!
