STROKE: contralateral pure motor or combined sensorimotor deficits
internal capsule
STROKE: loss of pain/temperature ipsilateral face and contralateral body; ipsilateral bulbar muscle weakness; Horner Syndrome
lateral medullary (PICA)
STROKE: ipsilateral oculomotor nerve palsy; ataxia; contralateral hemiparesis
midbrain
STROKE: contralateral sensory loss; hemiparesis; cortical signs (aphasia, agnosia)
postcentral gyrus (ACA, MCA)
STROKE: contralateral hemiparesis; sensory loss; conjugate gaze palsy towards lesion
putamen/internal capsule
Most common site of hypertensive intraparenchymal brain hemorrhage
putamen (internal capsule is nearby so is usually involved)
STROKE: pure sensory; contralateral loss of all sensory modalities;
posterolateral thalamus (usually a lacunar stroke)
Arterial supply associated with lacunar infarct in thalamus
Small branches of PCA
1st line pharmacotherapy for RLS
dopamine agonists: pramipexole, ropinirole, rotigotine, cabergoline, levodopa with carbidopa
Order for carpal tunnel treatment
- night splint
- injection with steroid
- nerve decompression surgery
organophosphate poisoning that results in increased __________ activity
acetylcholine
treatment for organophosphate poisoning
atropine and pralidoxime
causes of organophosphate poisoning
nerve gas, insecticide, herbicide, industrial chemicals
gastric motility drug that will cause parkinson symptoms
metoclopramide
The pelvic and shoulder girdle muscles are most commonly affected. Other muscles, e.g., the neck flexors, may also be affected.
Leads to difficulties combing hair, standing up, and climbing stairs.
