Cerebrospinal fluid

My topic is Meningitis. I like this disease because it’s kind of rare it is also caused by bacterial infections. Bacterial meningitis is a serious infection of the fluid in the spinal cord and the fluid that surrounds the brain. About 2,600 people die from meningitis a year. Meningitis is a parasite that invades your spinal canal. Most meningitis is caused by bacteria and viruses that often live in our bodies. Usually these germs stay in the intestines or in the nose and throat, where they

is an infection that originates in the meninges of the brain and can spread into the spinal column. The symptoms can develop within hours and take up to two days after encountering a carrier host. Bacterial meningitis can be transmitted through fluid transmission from the mouth or throat of an infected person. Bacterial meningitis is a gram-negative meningitis diplococcal bacterium. There are several bacteria types that can cause meningitis, which include Streptococcus pneumoniae (the most common

In another report, Charlie Garner, a former running back, talks about how he is scared that he may have the brain disease CTE. In the reports it says that, “[He] can’t go remember things.” Garner also states that he has to bring his children with him to remember where he had parked (Becker). Players would not know if he had the brain disease because the disease can not be detected until the death of that person. Garner says he only suffered from a handful of diagnosed concussions, when looking back

Have you ever wondered what life would be like if you could easily make yourself more intelligent just by taking one simple pill? This has now become a reality with a recent discovery called Brain Boosters. Brain Boosters have the possibility of positively impacting the world, despite some ethical concerns. In this essay I will be discussing both benefits and downsides of Brain Boosters and argue how society will be better off with them than without. For nearly a decade, a team of scientists and

Assignment D Case Study Chapter 11 (6th) 1. D. Nerve impulses from motor neuromuscular junctions are unable to fully stimulate the affected muscle because the antibodies target the acetylcholine receptors at the neuromuscular junction. As a result, the muscles are not told to fire properly. 2. A. Increases the availability of acetylcholine at postsynaptic receptor sites. Edrophonium chloride blocks the breakdown of the acetylcholine and would make the muscles stronger. 3. C. Increase muscle excitation

general knowledge English language encyclopaedia, Sherman Alexie at a young age with his hydrocephalus (too much brain fluid) couldn't do physical activity in the summer so in return replaced it with reading(Encyclopaedia Britannica).Sherman Alexie’s main character in the book The Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian says that Junior was born with too much cerebral spinal fluid inside his skull(Alexie 1). The book also says an effect that Junior had from the Brain condition was that Junior with

The discovery of Meningitis Diseas is one of the greatest acheivements of a scientist . Meningitis Diseas is either infectious (contangious) or noninfectious. Infectious Meningitis is classified as viral,bacterial,fungal and parasitic causing infections. C. Thesis Statement: Meningitis Diseas is a very rare infection of the brain D. Credibility Statement: 1. I was a survivor of Meningitis Diseas. 2. I've been diagnosed for almost half a year when I was six .

| Neuro Case Studies | Pathophysiology case study week 7: Neurological Question #1 Brett reached into a clogged snow blower to clear the chute while it was still running. He completely severed one finger and partially severed another on his left hand. After lengthy surgery to reattach his fingers, he has regained much of his motor ability but has lost some of his sensory function. What factors are involved that affect the regeneration of Brett’s neurons and neuron function? Clinical

Abstract Background Subependymal giant cell astrocytoma (SEGA) is the most common central nervous system tumor in patients with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). Although these lesions are generally benign and non-infiltrative, they commonly arise in the region of the foramen of Monro, where they can cause obstructive hydrocephalus and sudden death. Methods Surgical resection has been, and presently remains, the standard treatment for SEGAs demonstrating serial growth on neuroimaging in the setting

Meningitis Meningitis can cause real sever damage to the brain.The worst types of Meningitis is the Bacterial Meningitis but i will explain that into detail a little later. Bacterial Meningitis can be really tough for any human to go through. Bacterial Meningitis is a serious, potentially deadly disease that can progress extremely fast – so take utmost caution. It is an inflammation of the membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord. The bacteria that causes meningitis can also infect the
