Neurology

Transcript: Neurology By Sam Waltimyer A neurologist is a medical doctor or osteopath who has trained in the diagnosis and treatment of nervous system disorders, including diseases of the brain, spinal cord, nerves and muscles Neurologist Education Requirements Four years of premedical education in a college or university Four years of medical school resulting in an MD or DO degree (doctor of medicine or doctor of osteopathy degree) One year internship in either internal medicine or medicine/surgery At least 3 years of specialty training in an accredited neurology residency program Licensure and board examinations to be able to work in hospitals. Neuroscience is the scientific study of the nervous system. Traditionally, neuroscience has been seen as a branch of biology. However, it is currently an interdisciplinary science that works with other fields such as chemistry,computer science, engineering, linguistics, mathematics, medicine and allied disciplines, philosophy, physics, and psychology. The term neurobiology is usually used interchangeably with the term neuroscience, although the former refers specifically to the biology of the nervous system, whereas the latter refers to the entire science of the nervous system. Neurologists work in hospitals, public or private clinics, and universities or research facilities. Many neurologists are in private practice. Neurologists new to the profession make around $150,000 per year. The average salary for a neurologist is $208,000. However, neurolgists that have developed a good name can make around $300,000. As most other physicians do, neurologists are not able to follow a 40-hour workweek. The job can be quite stressful, and treating patients properly may require working for more than 60 hours in a week. Neurologists employed in busy medical facilities may have to put in extra hours during the week and also work on weekends. Those who work in research facilities and medical schools, however, enjoy regular working hours. Job prospects for neurologists are expected to be very good in the coming years. As the baby-boomer generation approaches older age, rate of occurrence of neurological problems, like dementia and stroke, is expected to rise considerably, creating good job opportunities for neurologists.

Transcript: Asset library B At the level of the motor neuron: A C ALS in the brain's motor cortex of the parietal lobe: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurological disorder that affects the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. ALS causes motor neurons, which control voluntary muscle movement and breathing, to gradually degenerate and die. When this happens, the neurons can't send messages to muscles, which leads to a loss of muscle control. (National Institute of Neurological Disorders) ALS and the Nervous System Neurological Disorder Diagnosis A Easton has ALS. ALS is a fatal type of motor neuron disease. It causes progressive degeneration of nerve cells in the spinal cord and brain. It's often called Lou Gehrig disease after a famous baseball player who died from the disease. ALS is one of the most devastating types of disorders that affect nerve and muscle function. ALS doesn't affect the senses. It typically doesn't affect mental functioning. Easton claims that mentally he feels fine. ALS most often affects people between ages 40 and 70. Easton is 45. hopkinsmedicine.org B ALS: Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis According to Johns Hopkins University Hospital, Someone with ALS may first have weakness in a limb that occurs over a few days or, more often, a few weeks. Then a few weeks or months later, weakness develops in another limb. For other people, the first sign of a problem may be slurred speech or trouble swallowing. These are the most common symptoms of ALS: Twitching and cramping of muscles, especially those in the hands and feet Loss of motor control in the hands and arms Trouble using arms and legs Tripping and falling Dropping things Lasting severe tiredness (fatigue) Uncontrollable periods of laughing or crying Slurred or thick speech and trouble projecting the voice Symptoms in black are those that Easton presented with. C A Easton is experiencing weakness in the muscles in his hands and feet. Differential Diagnosis B He trips and stumbles sometimes, and also has difficulty with some fine motor skills. C He has a hard time projecting his voice or slurs his speech. Neurology Challenge Presentation Kat Higgins

Neurology Nursing presentation

Transcript: Neurology Nusing Joy Mugala Topic 1 What is STEM and what it stands for? Science Technology Engineering Mathematics The purpose of small stem projects is to excite kids on what possible careers they can have instead of regular RN nurses, policeman, lawyer etc. Subtopic 1 Stem projects in school are to help kids explore different careers paths that seem interesting and gets them hyped too. Even though in some careers you have to go to school for at least 4 years. but during those times you also get 2 years of practing your stem carrer of choice, thats the bright side of it because it helps give student a peak into their future career. One intresting stem career I recently found was Neurology Nursing Topic 2 Subtopic 1 What is a Neurology Nurse? First to begin if you didn't know, neurology is the study of the human brain. Most stem jobs are in high demand in the future for workers, not most people are known of the step to take to work in new different fields. A neurology nurse helps treat paitents that suffer with brain related illnesses such as alzheimers, epilepsy and brain damage or spinal cord damages. What are the steps to become a Neurology nurse? Topic 3 Subtopic 1 You have to attend a college or university and then you'll have to have 2 years of neuroscience class so you can a background knowledge for what your the career you have in mind brings to the table. You also must have a valid nursing lisence and 2 year of full time and part-time neuroscience nursing. You're also have to be qualified to have 2, 080 hours of neroscience practice in the last 3 years Though this seems like a lot of time and effort to become a neuroscience nurse, but you must take count that you make a big impact with people that can't understand why things aren't functioning for them. Day in the life of a Nueroscience practioner.. Topic 4 some neuro nurses also work with patients with spinal cord injuries. A typical shift starts with them getting their thing together and setting up their equiments for patients. You will also won't always have to work in a big hospital to become a neuro nurse. Neuro nurses are found working in homecare angentcies, while take care of the patient in their resident. Neuro nurses are also found in rehabilitation centers and specifc neuro workplaces that specificly work in thay field. I believe that Neuro nursing is a interesting steam careers because it'll help you learn about different areas and also could help lead you in other similar careers.

Transcript: Aetiology - - neurodegenerative disease, characterised by: - Loss of dopaminergic neurons from substantia nigra and formation of lewy bodies. Normal SN - promotes appropriate movements. Abnormal SN - unable to promote movement resulting in - - Tremor - Bradykinesia - rigidity Management 1. muscular skeletal - pretty much always most common - 2. lots of other 'medical causes' - drugs, endocrine, electrolyte, rheumatological, genetic, metabolic, od (sarcoidosis, amyloidosis) 3. Neuro - good stuff - vascular - stroke - inflammatory - MS - trauma - bleed, compression, spinal - autoimmune - - metabolic - B12 deficiency - infectious - polio, tetanus, botulism etc - Neoplastic - intracerebral, spinal - degenerative - MND, Mysathenia, Case 3 - Epilepsy - Syncope - Cardiac syncope / drop attack - arrythmias, stokes adams - Vasovagal syncope - including reflex anoxic seizure - NEAD/ pseudoseizure As with everything in neuro - tend to have good idea from clinical picture however to confrim Imaging - gadolinium MRI - you get gadolinium enhancing lesions - classically periventricular - demyelination and spinal cord (transverse myelitis) Neurophysiology delayed visual evoked potentials and other evoked potentials CSF electrophoresis oligoclonal bands of IgG in CSF not present in the serum demonstrate 2 lesions - so clincally weakness then neurophysiology shows previous optic neuritis etc. NON-MEDICAL - PT - increase strength, balance, posture etc - OT - maximise patients funtionality - Social services - assess home circumstances - Dietician - SALT MEDICAL Acute phase - corticosteroids! - methylprednisolone can only use couple of times a year - shortens symptoms duration but not relapse rate Chronically now lots of things... but the common things are beta interferon / Interferon 1B natalizumab - monoclonal antibody to the VLA-4 receptor prevents white cells crossing BBB prevent demyelination SE?? PVL? JC virus.. bone marrow transplant? SURGICAL - NA 1. relapsing remitting 2. secondary progressive 3. primary progressive 4. progressive relapsing anxiety and depression constipation urinary incontinence/ dysfunction pain weight loss/gain dementia - lewy body - sexual dysfunction orthostatic hypotension REM behavior disorder restless leg syndrome 32 Year old lady returns from holiday in Spain. Whilst away she has noticed difficulty swimming and weakness in her left leg. When reviewing her notes you noticed she missed an ophthalmology appointment that the GP made, as she feels she now has no problems with her eyes. 1. What are your differentials? 2. important questions to ask in a history of weakness? Investigations Medications - 1st line: dopamine agonist - ropinirole, pramipexole -2nd line: - COMT - entacapone - MAO-B - Resagaline -3rd line - Levo Dopa +PDI - Co-careldopa +/- amantidine Side effects: on symptoms - tics and dystonia off symptoms - freezing and severe parkinsoism Surgery - Deep brain stimulation - subthalamic nucleus and the globus palidus Loss of Consciousness MS!! - multiple sclerosis! autoimmune, demylinating disorder targeting any neuron myelinated by an oligodendrocyte - brain, spinal cord and the optic nerve. destruction of myelin sheath Loose the ability to jump from node to node via saltatory conduction - severe slow down nerve conduction - leading to symptoms eventually remyelinate - but myelin is not as good - relapsing remitting pattern over time cant remyelinate - secondary progressive. Epidemiology – women> men 3:1 Occurs more commonly in temperate regions. Rarer in black african/asian Typical age of onset – 30 years Take away messages 2 neurological symptoms, separated in space and time Clinical diagnosis! - It is all in the history - most dont need investigating. Epilepsy - EEG - Sleep study - sleep deprevation, flashing lights, telemetry etc. - Neuroimaging - temporal sclerosis, hypocampal lesions. New seizure >50 years - CANCER - cortical localisation - young people focal seizures. Syncope - ECG - Echo - tilt table test NEAD - psych input, counceling, adress psychosocial issues, stress, anxiety, depression etc. - very challenging to treat. Unilateral Optic Neuritis - visual loss, colour desaturation, pain on movement. Motor - weakness Sensory - pins and needles/ sensory loss Lhetmittes phenomenon Utoffs phenomenon Cerebellar symptoms - ACRONYM Any neurological symtpom- UMN NMO? severe form of MS Differentials Exciting Stuff!!! Management - Partial – carbamazipine - Complex – sodium valproate - Pregnant – lamotrigine valproate is teratogenic. - Vagal nerve stimulation – reduce incidence of seizures – doesn’t stop them completely - Surgery – temporal lobeectomy – temporal lobe epilepsy. Notify the DVLA – cant drive until seizure free for 1 year, and HGV – never drive again – so be careful when diagnosing! Swimming, and risky activities! Neurodegrenerative disease Clinically Xander Beer Management History - have a system and stick to it. Investigations - start simple and build to more complex
