A patient is brought into the emergency room showing symptoms such as dropping
mouth and slurred speech. The doctor suspects a stroke and immediately arranges a
computerized tomography (CT) scan of the patient's head to aid diagnostics. Discuss
why the doctor may have suggested a CT scan over magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI). Describe in detail the physical basis of CT.
The next day after the patient has been hospitalized the doctor decides to have a MRI
to complement the diagnosis. Name one advantage of MRI compared to CT. Describe
in detail the physical basis of MRI.
The are two main types of stroke: ischemic, caused by a lack of blood flow and
hemorrhagic, due to bleeding. On the basis of the CT scan, discuss how each type of
stroke would appear in the CT scan.
Since the patient has hypercholesterolemia and reported pain in the left arm during
hospitalisation, the doctor wants to clarify if the patient may suffer from
atherosclerosis in the carotid artery. Name a technique that may…
A 35 year old male presents to the ER with left side facial droop. His symptoms started 5 hours ago and were noticed by his coworkers. He reports no significant personal or family history. He was sick with flu like symptoms two week previous but has since recovered without any lasting deficit. As a clinician you need to quickly assess your patient for a stroke or possibly a Bell’s palsy. To determine a differential diagnosis, what would be the best question to ask this patient to get a preliminary idea of what we are looking at?
raise and lower your eyebrows
stick out your tongue
smile wide (show your teeth)
puff out your cheeks
Select your answer and give your reasoning.
Brain function is monitored by an electroencephalogram (EEG) True or false?

- What are the steps in executing CPR? Explain it briefly by one. (DRSABCD)arrow_forwardA 55 year old man who is overweight, a heavy drinker and habitual smoker is brought in to the emergency department after he appeared confused and was slurring his speech at his workplace. Given the patient's lifestyle, the doctors suspect an ischemic stroke and immediately arrange for a scan to aid in the diagnosis. Discuss which imaging modality the doctor might use to establish if the patient had suffered a stroke and give reasons for your choice. [8] Describe the physical principles behind the imaging technique you have chosen. Explain the analytical process that could be used to confirm whether the stroke was ischemic rather than hemorrhagic. As a further precaution and to inform the management of the patient's condition going forward, the doctor wants to assess whether the patient has atherosclerosis in his carotid artery. Describe the basis of an imaging technique that would be used to give this additional information.arrow_forwardAccommodating Religious Beliefs in the ICU: A Narrative Account of a Disputed Death Martin L. Smith, Anne Lederman Flamm Abstract: Despite widespread acceptance in the United States of neurological criteria to determine death, clinicians encounter families who object, often on religious grounds, to the categorization of their loved ones as “brain dead.” The concept of “reasonable accommodation” of objections to brain death, promulgated in both state statutes and the bioethics literature, suggests the possibility of compromise between the family’s deeply held beliefs and the legal, professional and moral values otherwise directing clinicians to withdraw medical interventions. Relying on narrative to convey the experience of a family and clinical caregivers embroiled in this complex dilemma, the case analyzed here explores the practical challenges and moral ambiguities presented by the concept of reasonable accommodation.

- Each of these brightly colored sticky notes represents a piece of information that someone doesn’t want to forget. Although we are all forgetful sometimes, most people do not have trouble remembering things that are important or routine to us, such as our friend’s name or how to get to class. Our brain, the control center of the nervous system and the rest of the body, normally allows us to retain and recall information. But if the brain becomes damaged, a person may need to rely excessively on external reminders — like this wall of sticky notes — rather than being able to trust their own memory. That is if they are able to remember to write things down in the first place. One person having trouble with their memory is Rosa, who is 68 years old. Rosa has been having difficulty remembering where she has set down objects in her house and forgot about a few doctor’s appointments and lunches she planned with friends. Her family began to notice that she would sometimes not recall recent…arrow_forwardB. Question A 75-year-old man was found unconscious in his bathroom after falling and hitting his head. He survived for several hours but died later in the hospital. An autopsy was performed to determine the exact cause of death. Evidence indicated that the man had suffered two strokes, both due to blocked blood vessels. One had occurred a few weeks earlier; the other had occurred very recently and may have led to the fall. Autopsy findings also indicated that, when the man hit his head, some damage to his brain occurred as well. Based on what you know about inflammation and the cellular structure of the brain, describe what the pathologist found in each of the damaged areas of the brain. C.
