Neurology (U.W.) Flashcards
RETROgrade transport is mediated by which protein
Dyenin
ANTEROgrade transport is mediated by which protein
kinesin
symptoms of Fragile X syndrome
physical: long and narrow face with large chin and forehead and testes
neuro: speech/motor devptl delay in infancy
neuro/psych (ADHD/anxiety/autism) after puberty
* hyperlaxity of hand joints
symptoms of cerebellar hemisphere lesion
dysdiadochokinesia - prob w/ rapid alt movement
intention tremor
limb dysmetria - undershoot/overshoot
Rabies Encephalitis
(remember it starts with flu-like prodrome)
- altered mental state ex: aggression
- pharyngeal spasm leading to water avoidance
- drooling and pupillary dilation
organic (methylmalonic or proprionic) acidemia - patients should avoid what?
- odd chain fatty acid
- Valine, Isoleucine, Methionine, Threonine
- thymidine, uracil
what (2) pathological processes can cause lesions in basal ganglia/ thalamus/ deep nuclei
- Charcot Bouchard aneurysms via hemorrhage (looks bright on CT)
- lacunar stroke via ischemia (looks dark on CT)
What is the pathology (2) of lacunar stroke
(1) lipohyalinosis
(2) microatheroma
iliohypogastric N function
sensory to suprapubic and gluteal region
motor to abdominal wall muscles
Common Peroneal N injury
foot drop, steppage gate
location- head of fibula
Deep Peroneal N vs Superficial Peroneal N
Deep Peroneal - Dorsiflexion
Superficial Peroneal- Eversion, and sensory to shin and dorsum of foot
Buspirone
partial agonist of 5HT1A (serotonin)
used for GAD
non-sedating, non-addictive, no sexual dysfunction, action in 1-2 wk
what type of traumatic brain hemorrhage may not by symptomatic or visualized until weeks after
Subdural hematoma
-bc it is the tearing of bridgine veins, the blood flow may not initially present
how can you tell if allergy to one anesthetic will cause allergy to another
look at the class. amides Xreact with amides and esters w/ esters
amides have 2 i’s (lidocaine, bupivicaine)
esters have 1 i
what nerve goes through pronator teres
Median N
