The patient is an 85-year-old female who is brought to the ED by her family because of increasing confusion and supposedly she had a degree of altered mental status of two hours previous to presentation. In the ED she is completely worked up. CT shows advanced atrophy with microvascular changes and several lacunar infarcts nothing acute. Specific gravity in the urine reveals her to be markedly dehydrated. She culture completely, started on IV antibiotics, IV fluids and B12. On the day after admission she still presents as persistently confused. She is evaluated by PT. The patient who was formerly ambulating with a walker and allegedly driving a car is unable to be ambulated. Before the history indicates that she has a slow downward

Human beings occasionally suffer bad damage to particular parts of their brains. Unfortunately, these injuries may lead to major failure of speech production, understanding language and comprehension which most of the patients suffer it permanently. This impairment is called Aphasia. Gayle (2012) states that people with aphasia fail to understand sentence comprehension although it is a simple sentence. She also mentioned that aphasia patients also have difficulty in reading and understanding speeches. According to Fromkin, Rodman and Hyams (2011), aphasia is a scientific term used to explained language disorder due to brain injuries caused by diseases or trauma. In other words, aphasia involves partial or total loss of the ability to

Aphasia is a language disorder that can be the result of a brain injury. An individual that is suffering from aphasia may experience difficulty speaking, writing, reading, or comprehending. There are three different types of Aphasia that differ in various ways. First, Wernicke’s Aphasia is the inability to grasp the meaning of words and sentences that have been produced by another individual. This type of aphasia is also known as “fluent aphasia” or “receptive aphasia”. Wernicke patients’ speech may come across like a jumble of words or jargon, but it is very well articulated and they have no issue producing their own connected speech. If the patient is consecutively making errors, it is common for them to be unaware of their difficulties, and not realize that their sentences don’t make sense. The severity of the disorder varies depending on the patient, and the disorder results form damage in the left posterior temporal region of the brain, which is also known as Wernicke’s area.

Encephalitis is a rare disease commonly found in young children and elderly adults who posses a weaker immune system. Symptoms of this viral and or bacterial infection range from mild to life threating symptoms. They include sudden fever, stiff neck, headaches, vomiting, irritability, confusion, and drowsiness. Viral Encephalitis can develop during or after a viral infection, for example: influenza, rabies, measles, and simple herpes. Encephalitis can also be contracted as a bacterial infection, which can alter the treatment of the disease. Treatment for Encephalitis can differentiate depending on the severity of the disease. The most common treatments seen in Encephalitis are antibiotics, antiviral therapy, acyclovir, and hydration

The patient is a 70-year-old gentleman who presents to the emergency room complaining of shakingm fever and chills for the past 1-2 days. The patient's been noticing increasing subjective fever and chills, which he feels, is worsening. He has an associated cough with productive sputum, which is greenish in color. He is known to have medical history normocytic anemia, non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, a recent admission for posterior-inferior cerebellar infarct on the right side, history of right frontal infarct, systolic heart failure with ejection fraction of 20%, a history of ventricular fibrillation, he has an AICD in place. He is also known to have coronary disease and he has had coronary bypass grafting, dyslipidemia, hypothyroidism

As an EMT and a Scribe, I was exposed to these aspects of medicine. I spent part of a summer doing ride-a-longs with American Medical Response in Farmersville. In sophomore year, I volunteered at a medical clinic in Lima, Peru. I also observed medical services in India. With these experiences, I realized the importance of understanding a foreign culture and language in the practice of medicine. From my experiences I decided to continue independent study of languages. I have not only expanded my academic horizons, I have gained a cultural awareness I feel is indispensable in today's diverse world.

Case Description: A 25 year old healthy male who is a very active running back in the sport of football came to the emergency room. The patient has a history of previous

The Delmar’s Introduction to Medical Terminology is a great learning tool for struggling students. It helps to improve upon the knowledge of the lesson. This book uses a word building program that teaches students how to breakdown key medical terms into roots, prefixes, and suffixes. The format of the activity requires active participation through answering questions, reading, writing, repetition, and labeling while providing feedback. Formats are design to enhance basic reading, writing, and comprehension skills. Delmar’s instructional material is excellent for teaching students who have no previous medical experience because there are features of the activity for building comprehensive entry-level knowledge of medical language. The content

Encephalitis is a term for diseases in which the brain swells, but which can also mean a swelling or reaction by any part of the CNS (Baker and Larsen, 1944). Many things could and do cause encephalitis from bacterial, viral or fungal infections to trauma induced to the brain which may be hard to diagnose and differentiate from (Khetsuriani et al, 2006). Fatal cases of encephalitis are found to be classified as an acute viral encephalitis in two thirds of cases (Johnson, 1996). Incidence of acute encephalitis has been reported in between

The purpose of this paper is to pursue one important and fundamental aim: language and the brain are purely inseparable since it allows us to perform essential tasks such as generating, comprehending and expressing speech. With damage to the brain, individuals can no longer perform such tasks which can ultimately lead to many types of language disorders. The focus of this paper is Broca’s aphasia, a language disorder characterized by the inability to produce written and spoken speech. Damage to the brain can cause many types of speech impairments as well as comprehension deficits.
