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.

A 67-year-old male patient arrives in the
emergency department complaining of
progressively worsening bouts of right leg
weakness. His wife notes that he is confused and
often has trouble forming words at these times,
which typically last about a day. The right leg
weakness improves only slightly from instance
to instance, leaving him weaker each time.
Because the symptoms are transient, he has put
off seeing a physician until now. His wife is
worried that he might be having a stroke. He
reports having smoked a pack of cigarettes each
day for 45 years.
• What surgical procedure will be
scheduled?
• What tests might the ED physician order to
arrive at a diagnosis?
• What are the possible diagnoses, and
which is most likely?
Juan is a 28-year-old patient who was diagnosed with Pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas). Some of its complications are mental confusion, restlessness and altered consciousness.
4. Discuss why is it possible to have mental changes/manifestation if with problem involving the pancreas?

- why does UTI symptoms occur? (simple and easy)arrow_forwardThe 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.

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.

The history reveals that this student had an intestinal virus with diarrhea and vomiting that resolve over 2 days. About 10 days later, he noticed tingling sensations and numbness in his feet, followed by progressive weakness. Over the last 8 days it has gotten so bad that he is having trouble standing, and walking. His physical examination shows normal cranial nerves, distal weakness of the lower extremities (about 3+/5), absent reflexes over the lower extremities, and mild decreased vibration and position sense loss. 1.
