    Study Notes

    Cerebral Stroke Therapy

    • Undifferentiated therapy of cerebral stroke involves the use of antihypertensives and diuretics, aminocaproic acid, heparin, and low molecular weight dextran
    • Other treatment options include blood volume expansion and osmotherapy

    Bulbar Palsy Symptoms

    • Aphonia, dysphagia, dysarthria, muscle atrophy, and absence of the pharyngeal reflex
    • Paresis of the muscles of the tongue, ptosis, and dysphagia
    • Aphonia, paresis of mimic muscles

    Tendon Reflexes

    • Increase in tendon reflexes is noted in cases of pyramidal pathway damage
    • Damage to the anterior horns of the spinal cord can also cause an increase in tendon reflexes
    • Myelitis is an inflammatory disease that affects the spinal cord

    Nucleus of the Facial Nerve

    • Located in the medulla oblongata
    • Responsible for controlling facial expressions

    Reflex Arcs

    • The cremaster reflex arc closes at the level of L2
    • The knee jerk reflex arc closes at the level of L2-L4

    Trigeminal Neuralgia

    • Characterized by sudden attacks of pain in the face
    • Pain is often observed at night and is not associated with chewing or talking
    • Symptoms include paroxysmal pain, extremely intense pain, and shooting pain

    Physiotherapy Procedures

    • Treatment of trigeminal neuralgia involves the use of acupuncture, electrophoresis, and phonophoresis
    • Antineuralgic agents and B group vitamins are also used to treat neuralgia

    Meningitis

    • Divided into acute, subacute, chronic, toxic, and fulminant forms
    • Clinical signs include headaches and dizziness, paresthesia in one half of the body, and weakness of the limbs

    Parkinson's Disease

    • Characterized by muscle stiffness, muscle weakness, muscle atony, and incoordination
    • The most common symptom is muscle stiffness

    Multiple Sclerosis

    • Affects the myelin sheath in the central nervous system
    • Symptoms include muscle weakness, muscle stiffness, and sensitivity disorders

    Claude-Bernard-Horner Syndrome

    • Characterized by narrowing of the palpebral fissure, enophthalmos, and miosis
    • May also cause divergent strabismus, ptosis, and mydriasis
