Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) regulates the basic functions (secretions of the digestive tract and the sensitivity). The PNS is very important for the normal functioning of the body. The tenth cranial nerve (vagus nerve) supplies the parasympathetic fibers to the heart. These fibers are connected to the sinoatrial node and the atrioventricular node of the heart. The secretion of the vague nerves is a neurotransmitter (acetylcholine) that stimulates the heart. This results in the reduced heart contraction that reduces the heart rate.

- The patient was a 62‐year‐old male who was in a normal state of health until he developed symptoms of dizziness and disequilibrium. Other symptoms included unsteadiness on his feet and numbness in both distal lower and upper extremities. Over the course of 2 weeks his presenting symptoms significantly progressed and he developed an intermittent diplopia. Two months later, the patient began to experience progressive dementia, personality changes, psychosis, progressive ataxia, alien limb, and myoclonus. An extensive neurological workup was performed. An electromyogram (EMG) and nerve conduction study (NCS) revealed a demyelinating peripheral neuropathy with axonal features consistent with Guillain‒Barre Syndrome. The patient had two magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) analyses that were both suggestive of CJD. However, an electroencephalogram (EEG) study was not suggestive of CJD. A sample of CSF was sent to the National Prion Disease Pathology Surveillance Center (NPDPSC) in…arrow_forwardMr. Q, age 64 years, developed a severe headache several hours ago that has not responded to acetaminophen (Tylenol). Now his speech is slurred, and his right arm and the right side of his face feel numb. He is very anxious and is transported to the hospital. Mr. Q has a history of smoking and arteriosclerosis, and there is a family history of CVA(Cerebrovascular Accident) and diabetes. Assessment at the hospital indicated weakness on the right side, including facial asymmetry and blood pressure of 220/110 Hg mm. A CT scan showed damaged tissue on the left side of the brain, and an angiography indicated a narrowing of the carotid arteries and middle cerebral arteries, with occlusion of the left middle cerebral artery. Explain the predisposing factors in this case, and relate Mr. Q’s initial signs to the pathological changes. Discuss the different types of disabilities That Mr.Q will face and possible treatments plans?arrow_forwardSteven is a 45-year-old store manager who is complaining of a burning, gnawing pain, moderately severe, almost always in the epigastric region. The pain is absent when he wakes up in the morning but appears about midmorning. It is relieved by food but recurs 2 to 3 hours after a meal. This pain often wakes him up during the night. Endoscopic examination of his gastrointestinal tract showed normal stomach anatomy but craters and inflammation were observed in the duodenum. Gastric analysis demonstrated that the gastric juice pH fell to 1.9 with pentagastrin stimulation (6 ug/kg s.c.). Fasting serum gastrin levels were normal. Include your references below. 1. Based on your understanding of the function of the gastrointestinal system, what do you think is the problem? 2. What is the significance of a pentagastrin stimulation test? (What is pentagastrin?) What is the significance of the fasting serum gastrin measurement? 3. Suggest some over-the-counter remedies to ease the symptoms. Why…arrow_forward

When Tanya becomes responsive again, arriving at the hospital, she is asked about her pain level. She says that she does not have much pain in her lower body area that have been burned. Why not (she has not been given any pain killers)? Tanya begins a low, slow recovery. She has to be turned in the bed every 2 hours to prevent the formation of decubitus ulcers. She has lost 6 pounds of weight over the next 3 weeks, despite nasogastric feeding of 5000 calories per day. She is placed on I.V. antibiotic treatment. After 9 weeks, sheets of cadaver skin were grafted to her regenerating areas of skin. Why is skin grafting necessary for Tanya? Why is she at risk for decubitus ulcer formation?arrow_forward
