Cerebrospinal fluid

In the Medical laboratory sciences health care profession sometimes referred to as clinical laboratory sciences; the laboratory technicians performs diagnostic analyses on bodily fluids for medical diagnosis purposes. In some cases the technicians also may recommend antibiotics for the doctor to prescribe to the patient. There are multiple disadvantages in the Medical Laboratory services such as under appreciation and exposure to laboratory acquired infections. Despite the popular belief that…

has since been reported in several cases from various ethnic backgrounds (3). The condition is considered a Mendelian mimic of congenital TORCH infection, and is characterized by spasticity, dystonia, delayed psychomotor development, chronic cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leukocytosis, and leukodystrophy. Microcephaly, hepatosplenomegaly and cortical blindness can be seen in severe cases. Clinically, children can present just with non-specific seizures and developmental delays, and CSF leukocytosis…

symptoms. The second type of spina bifida is the closed neural tube defect. It causes a large range of defects, being either a malformation of bone, fat or meninges. The third type is called meningocele, in which a hole in the vertebrae allows the spinal fluid and meninges to protrude outside of the vertebral column. The last type (the most severe of all four types), is called myelomeningocele. It is similar to meningocele, but in this case, the neural elements of the spine are also protruding…

some of the drugs that will be given to him are: cyclophosphamide, vincristine, doxorubicin, methotrexate and cytarabine, chemotherapy can also be given through into the spinal fluid to reach the spinal cord and central nervous system. This is either done to prevent the lymphoma cells from spreading into the cerebrospinal…

INTRODUCTION Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is characterized by a combination of parkinsonism, cerebellar ataxia, autonomic dysfunction and corticospinal tract impairment [1]. There are two subtypes of MSA according to the dominant clinical features; MSA-P presenting parkinsonism and MSA-C presenting cerebellar symptoms. The cardinal features of MSA-C are common to hereditary spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA), which demonstrates variable onset ages and a slower progression. Indeed, considerable…

intestinal fluid. The pia mater is a transparent layer that has a thin elastic fiber. It found in the inner part of the spinal cord. Meninges are covered the spinal nerve internal structure. The internal structure is made from two matters. Within the grey matter, Dorsal, ventral, and lateral horns provide nerve impulses from to skeletal muscle, incoming sensory neuron to regulation of the smooth muscles. Between the spinal nerve and the vertebra is a fluid called the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).…

Alzheimer Disease is a progressive brain disorder that begins with memory loss. Eventually, this leads to dementia and then death. The disease targets the hippocampus which acts as the memory and intellect database and entangles the neurons which create mixed, lost and delayed signals. The symptoms of this illness are repeated statements, forgets about conversations and events, on a regular basis misplace personal possessions, become lost in familiar places, and over time eventually forget the…

Hepatitis B is an inflammation of the liver, caused by the Hepatitis B virus[1], and characterized by diffuse or patchy areas of necrosis[2]. Hepatitis studies that classified the types of Hepatitis began after World War II (1945)[3] just over 70 years ago. Two decades later in 1967, Krugman studies found Hepatitis A and Hepatitis B[3]. Another ten years later, the Prince studies found the specific virus surface antigen that causes Hepatitis B[3]. Taxonomically classified in the…

Unit 4 – Fiona Bennett Brain Science In this unit I will be investigating the structure of the brain. The human brain is responsible for everything that happens in our bodies. On average the brain weighs 1.5 kilograms. It is one the most complex organs in the human body. The brain controls everything from coordinating movements to constructing sentences and even simple things like breathing. The brain is supplied with oxygen to keep it alive by a network of blood vessels. Structure of the brain…

“ I was born with water on the brain. Okay, so that's not exactly true. I was actually born with too much cerebral spinal fluid inside my skull. But the cerebrospinal fluid is just the doctors' fancy way of saying brain grease. And brain grease works inside the lobes like car grease works inside an engine. It keeps things running smooth and fast. But weird me, I was born with too much grease inside…
