- A patient is brought into the emergency room showing symptoms such as dropping mouth and slurred speech. The doctor suspects a stroke and immediately arranges a computerized tomography (CT) scan of the patient's head to aid diagnostics. Discuss why the doctor may have suggested a CT scan over magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Describe in detail the physical basis of CT. The next day after the patient has been hospitalized the doctor decides to have a MRI to complement the diagnosis. Name one advantage of MRI compared to CT. Describe in detail the physical basis of MRI. The are two main types of stroke: ischemic, caused by a lack of blood flow and hemorrhagic, due to bleeding. On the basis of the CT scan, discuss how each type of stroke would appear in the CT scan. Since the patient has hypercholesterolemia and reported pain in the left arm during hospitalisation, the doctor wants to clarify if the patient may suffer from atherosclerosis in the carotid artery.

It is also severely atrophied in people suffering from late stages of Alzheimer’s Disease. -This limbic area is active when you are watching something that makes you feel sad. -This limbic area is active when you feel thirsty. -When the activity of this limbic area is increased you feel a sense of pleasure. -When this limbic area is damaged it often results in patients experiencing anterograde amnesia. -Damage to this limbic structure while rare often results in patients going into a coma. -This cortical limbic structure plays a large role in motivation and movement and has recently been…arrow_forward

- Mr. Lipton is an 80-year-old patient admitted to the neuro floor yesterday. He woke up yesterday with new left-sided hemianopsia (cannot see anything on the left side of his vision/body). The MRI shows a new brain tumor in his occipital lobe. He has no other medical history, and he lives at home with his wife, who has moderate dementia. He is scheduled for surgery tomorrow. You receive report and learn that Mr. Lipton is pleasant and cooperative but is not patient and does not wait for the staff to come and help him use the bathroom, which causes the chair and bed alarms to go off frequently. What is your priority concern for this patient after hearing report? Why did you choose that as the priority?arrow_forwardA neurosurgeon probes a person’s brain to map its functions. The person is awake and feels no pain during this procedure. As each area of the brain is probed, the person perceives a different sensation, as described in the table. Which structure (or lobe) of the brain is being stimulated in each scenario? [You do not need to explain why. Just state the lobe or structure] a) “I can hear a radio playing” _____________________ b) “I can see a flash of bright light” _____________________ c) “I can smell the flowers in my garden” ______________________ d) “I remember a happy moment from my childhood” ____________________ e) “I can feel pain in my foot” ____________________ f) “My finger just twitched” ____________________arrow_forwardAn EEG may be used to evaluate what clinical conditions?arrow_forward
