what is an example of UMN dz

A

CVA or MS

32
Q

ii. Position in space and vibration tell us about

A

posterior columns)

33
Q

Pain and temperature

A

spinothalamic tract

34
Q

Discriminative sensations

A

involve cortical input

35
Q

Most prevalent inherited ataxia

A

a. Friedreich’s Ataxia

36
Q

first disturbance in friedreich’s ataxia

A

iv. Gait is first disturbance

37
Q

onset of friedreich’s ataxia

A

ii. Presents in childhood (5-15), early adulthood

38
Q

babinski positive of negative in friedreich’s ataxia

A

Babinski –> UMN

39
Q

what is most commonly the cause behind trigeminal neuralgia

A

90% of the time caused by compression of CN by the superior cerebral artery

especially in older pt with less compliant artery

40
Q

ddx of bells palsy

A

CVA/TIA, Lyme, herpes Zoster

41
Q

classification of peripheral neuropathies

A

a. Axonal
b. Paranodal/segmental demyelination
c. Mononeuropathies by compression

42
Q

the diminished ability to perceive pain, temperature, touch, or vibration.

A

hypoesthesia

43
Q

decreased sensitivity to painful stimuli.

A

hypalgesia

44
Q

ability of the patient to identify numbers or letters drawn in the palm of the hand.

A

●Graphesthesia

45
Q

ability to recognize common objects such as keys, coins or paper clips by touching or handling them with one’s eyes closed.

A

Stereognosis

46
Q

evaluated by simultaneously touching two separate points on either side of the body.

A

Extinction

47
Q

why do we see a positive romberg test

A

when the patient has lost proprioception from feet

48
Q

Mononeuropathies

A

pathology affecting an individual peripheral nerve

49
Q

Radiculopathies refers to

A

Radiculopathies refer to pathology affecting the nerve root,

50
Q

anterolateral spinothalamic tract AP are perceived as

A

pain

51
Q

AP carried over the dorsal column medial lemniscal system are perceived as

A

touch or pressure

52
Q

describe the neural transmition of touch of pressure

A

occurs through the medial lemniscal pathway

posterior columns receive signal on first order neuron that is translated to the medulla which then synapses with a second motor neuron and crosses over where it is transmitted to the thalamus synapses to a 3rd order neuron and then reach the sensory cortex of the brain (parietla lobe)

you can also have the transmission of pain going directly from the posterior horn to the anterior horn
–> reflexes

53
Q

describe the neural pathway of pain

A

synapse is made in the posterior horn

54
Q

vascular ischemic theory of diabetic neuropathy

A
  1. Hyperglycemic damage of capillaries that feed nerve cells so they can’t deliver proper blood flow (not enough blood to feed the axon)
55
Q

iii. Laminin theory behind Diabetic neuropathy

A

lack of normal laminin in basement memebrane, effects growth of nerve fiber and capillaries

56
Q

iv. Autoimmune theory behind diabetic neuropathy

A
  1. Immunogenic disruption of endotheliumí nerve damage
57
Q

v. Altered neurotrophic effect

A
  1. Altered production/transport of NGF (nerve growth factor) that results in damage to the nerve
58
Q

ii. Follows infection (Campylobacter), vaccine, surgery

seen commonly with Gi symptoms

and involves respiratory complaints 40% of the time

A

Guillain barre LMN

59
Q

lab diagnostics for guillain abrre

A

protein in the CSF (you also see this with MS)

60
Q

carpal tunnel is most bothersome at what part of the day

A

night

61
Q

tx for carpal tunnel

A

Modify 2. Splint 3. Drugssss

iii. NSAIDs - pain relief in 20-30 mins; anti-inflammatory effects in 7-10 days – Keep the inflammation down w/ ices

62

spastic paralysis is more associated with umn or lmn lesions

A

UMN

65
Q

fasciculation are associated with UMN or LMN

A

End stage LMN

66
Q

iv. Discriminative sensations involve what type of input from the brain

A

cortical

67
Q

if you can’t stimulate the ventral horn with sensory input you get

A

hyporeflexia

ventral horn is another name for the anterior horn

68
Q

What can lack of Position and vibration sensation indicate?

A

posterior columns lesions, Fingers and toes first

69
Q

What can lack of light touch sensation indicate?

A

posterior and spinothalamic

70
Q

What can lack of discrimination sensation indicate?

A

involve cortical input

Q

Describe the presentation of Diabetic Neuropathy
