What are microbes?
any things that is in and around us: fungi, bacteria, viruses, microscopic animals, etc.
unhealthy microbiome
dysbiosis
alpha diversity
within a single sample - how many species of microbial in an individual
beta diversity
comparing different samples of microbiomes and identifying the variability
increased inflammation causes an increase in what for those in the military?
a higher risk of PTSD
Sudden onset of a severe headache +/- nausea & vomiting are symptoms of what?
Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
Paralysis affecting one side of the body:
Face, arm, trunk, leg.
Hemiplegia
Implies a lesser degree of weakness than hemiplegia.
Hemiparesis
Failure to attend to, respond to, and/or report stimulation that is introduced contralateral to the lesion.
Neglect
Persistent neglect is a predictor of what?
negative functional outcome
Loss of ability to execute skilled or learned movement patterns on command
Apraxia
What type of apraxia causes:
Plan for the movement is intact, but the execution fails.
Ideomotor Apraxia
Occlusion of PICA or vertebral artery with damage to lateral
medulla and inferior cerebellum
Ex. lights going out in half the house after you flip the breaker
Lateral Medullary Syndrome/Wallenberg syndrome
One factor contributing to increases in chronic inflammatory disorders in high- income countries
failing immunoregulation
failing immunoregulation is attributable to reduced exposure to the:
microbial environment
live microorganisms promoted with claims that they provide health benefits when consumed, generally by improving or restoring the gut microbiota
probiotcis
compounds in food that foster growth or activity of beneficial microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi.
prebiotic
More than __% of patients experience seizures close to onset of Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
25%
Meningeal signs seen in over __% of SAH:
* neck stiffness
* LBP
* Leg pain
75%
About __% of patients experience LOC at the time of bleeding onset of SAH
50%
Transient intracranial circulatory arrest: The ‘percussive’ blood pressure impact of the hemorrhage during an SAH causes what?
LOC
Hunt-Hess Scale: Grade I (2)
- Asymptomatic or minimal headache
- slight nuchal rigidity (sore neck)
Hunt-Hess Scale: Grade V (3)
- Deep coma,
- decerebrate rigidity (posturing)
- moribund appearance (dying) no response to pain
MCA Syndrome (5)
C C H G D
- Contralateral weakness (face = trunk = arm = leg)
- Contralateral cortical sensory loss
- Homonymous hemianopsia or quadrantanopia
- Gaze preference
- Dysphagia
