Question | Answer |
Parkinson's Disease | Affecting brain; loss of dopamine; loss of ability to control and initiate movement. |
Multiple Sclerosis | - Affecting brain and spinal cord; scarring of myelin sheath - Decreased nerve conduction - Loss of motor, sensory, cerebellar function, emotional lability |
ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) | - Degeneration of upper/lower motor neurons of brain stem and spinal cord - Progressive muscle weakness, atrophy, deterioration |
Gillian-Barre' Syndrome | - Acute attack on peripheral nervous system - Inflammation causes ascending muscle weakness, paralysis and paresthesia |
Myasthenia Gravis | - Attach on acetylcholine (Ach) receptors - Prevents acetylcholine from stimulating skeletal muscle contraction - No sensory loss |
Parkinson's Disease complications | - Dysphagia, nutritional problem, loss of spontaneous movement, immobility, falls, pneumonia, dementia |
Parkinson's Disease S&S | Rigidity, tremors at rest, decreased arm swing, bradykinesia, stooped, shuffling, difficulty initiating movement |
Multiple Sclerosis S&S | Fatigue, motor weakness, bowel & bladder incontinence, diplopia, paresthesia, sexual dysfunction, spasticity, emotional lability |
Multiple Sclerosis complications | - Immobility, UTI, pneumonia, depression |
ALS S&S | |
ALS Complications | - Paralysis - Respiratory failure - Death from respiratory failure in 3 years |
Gillian-Barre' Syndrome S&S | Ascending bilateral weakness and paresthesia of legs progressing upward to include trunk and respiratory muscles. |
Myasthenia Gravis S&S | Descending muscle weakness, eye/mouth drooping, decreased arm strength, may progress to respiratory fatigue |
Gillian-Barre' Syndrome complication | Paralysis, aspiration, autonomic nervous system involvement, dysrhythmias, respiratory failure |
Myasthenia Gravis complication | - Respiratory failure - Myasthenia crisis (increased muscle weakness) caused by missing medication - Cholinergic crisis: too many myasthenia meds causing cholinergic effects (NVD, sweating, salivation, weakness, bradycardia |
