Explain/Define Spinal cord injury. (Define Spinal Cord Injury.)

• The spinal cord is a part of the central nervous system. Which works to control the functions of the body.

• Spinal cord injury is a condition in which there is trauma to the spinal cord and the spinal cord is damaged, causing loss of sensation and reduced mobility.
• When there is a sudden injury or trauma to the spinal cord, the function of the spinal cord is temporarily and permanently changed.
• When the spinal cord is injured, the spinal cord can fracture or the vertebrae in the spinal cord can also become dislocated. This condition is called spinal cord injury.

3) Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis ( SPMS ),

• In this type, initially there will be Relapsing-Remitting Attacks. But after two to three attacks, the disease starts to progress continuously. If the patient does not receive proper treatment for relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis, it can be transmitted to secondary progressive multiple sclerosis.

• Myasthenia Gravis is a compound word.
• Mys:= Muscles ,
  Aisthesis:= Sensation.
• Myasthenia Gravis is a chronic autoimmune disorder. MG (Myesthenia Gravis) disease mainly affects the neuromuscular junction and in Myesthenia Gravis, the chronic progressive neuromuscular junction gets damaged and the muscles get weak.
• In Myasthenia Gravis, an inappropriate antibody is produced in the patient’s body and this antibody is Ach receptor (Acetylecoline) receptor) and this antibody blocks the Ach Receptor and due to this the number of Ach receptors decreases and its function also gets impaired. And the nerve impulses cannot be transmitted properly and the muscles of the body become weak and the voluntary muscle control of the body gets impaired. And due to this, weakness and fatigue occur in the muscles.

Explain/ Define Guillain Barre Syndrome. Explain/Define Guillain Barre Syndrome.

• • Guillain Barre Syndrome is named after George’s Guillian, Jan Alexander Bare And Strohl. Guillain Barre Syndrome was first described in 1916.

• • Guillain Barre Syndrome is an acute Also called inflammatory polyneuropathy or polyradiculoneuritis.

• • Guillain Barre Syndrome is also called G.B. Syndrome.

• • Guillain Barre Syndrome affects the peripheral nervous system (which affects the cranial nerves and spinal nerves.)

• • Guillain Barre Syndrome is an autoimmune disorder. It is a disorder in which the body’s immune system affects the peripheral nervous system and spinal nerves.

• • In this condition, the swan cell is damaged. Due to the damage to the swan cell, the neuron is demyelinated, damaged and destroyed, due to which the transmission of the nerve is disturbed and the transmission of nerve impulses cannot take place. Therefore, the nerve impulses cannot be transmitted between one neuron and another. So this is called Guillain Barre Syndrome disease.

4) Acute Motor Sensory Axonal Neuropathy (AMSAN)

• This is similar to AMAN But there is severe axonal damage to the sensory nerve as well. This type responds directly to the peripheral nerve, just like AMAN. Recovery is slow and incomplete.

• Parkinson’s disease has 3 main cardinal signs.
• 1) Tremor ( Tremor: = Shaking),
• 2) Muscles Rigidity ( Muscles Rigidity:=stiffness),
• 3) Bradykinesia

••>

1) Tremor (tremor:=shaking),

• In fingers, hands, feet, etc. Voluntary movement is observed. Tremor is mainly observed when the person is in the resting stage. But it is not observed when the person is on a task. Tremor occurs when a person is excited, tense and stressed.

2) Muscles Rigidity (Muscles Rigidity:=Stiffness),

• In this, stiffness occurs in the limbs and trunk. This stiffness increases during movement. Rigidity causes pain and ache in the muscles.

3) Bradykinesia

• Bradykinesia is a slowness of voluntary movement. Sometimes there is difficulty in movement, due to stiffness in facial muscles in bradykinesia, a “Mask-Like” appearance is seen.
• Thus, the cardinal signs of Parkinson’s disease are Tremor, Muscles Rigidity and Bradykinesia.

• But the person can perform daily routine activities with some amount of guidance.

5) Moderately severe Cognitive decline ( Moderate Alzhimer’s)

• In this stage, the person requires a greater amount of assistance in performing their daily routine activities. In this stage, the person has difficulty dressing, bathing, and using the toilet independently. In this stage, the person’s memory is lost to a greater extent. The person’s personal history is also forgotten and the person is disoriented to time, place, and person.

6) Severe Cognitive Decline ( Moderately severe to severe Alzhimer’s )
