OCTH 580: Week 4; Chapter 22, Neurodegenerative Diseases

a. Multiple Sclerosis (MS).

This neurodegenerative condition is caused by an autoimmune disease where the CNS myelin sheath is destroyed.

a. Multiple Sclerosis (MS).

b. Parkinson's disease (PD).

c. Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).

b. Parkinson's disease (PD).

This neurodegenerative disease is caused by death to dopaminergic neurons within the substantia nigra.

a. Multiple Sclerosis (MS).

b. Parkinson's disease (PD).

c. Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).

Also known as Lou Gehrig disease.

c. Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).

This disease is fatal and is caused by scar formation of the UMN.

d. CN 4.

a. Multiple Sclerosis (MS).

Symptoms of this neurocognitive disorder include diplopia, optic neuritis, dysesthesia, paresthesia, and urinary incontinence.

a. Multiple Sclerosis (MS).

b. Parkinson's disease (PD).

c. Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).

d. Spasticity.

Which of the following is not a symptom of Parkinson's disease?

a. Voluntary motor deficits.

b. Resting tremors.

c. Bradykinesia.

d. Spasticity.

e. Muscle rigidity.

f. Hyposmia.

b. Bradykinesia.

Which of the following is not a symptom of ALS?

a. Spasticity.

b. Bradykinesia.

c. Foot drop.

d. Muscle movement loss.

e. Swallowing loss.

Between ages 20 to 40.

Between what age is MS typically diagnosed?

Between ages 50 to 60.

Between what age is PD typically diagnosed?

Anywhere between ages 16 to 77.

Between what age is ALS typically diagnosed?

False.

Parkinson's disease is a rapidly progressing disease, leading to death within about 30 months.

True or False?

True.

ALS is a rapidly progressing disease, leading to death within about 30 months.

True or False?

ALS.

Riluzole is a medication used to treat this neurodegenerative condition:

PD.

Levodopa is used to treat tremors for this neurocognitive condition:

a. Clinically Isolated Syndrome (CIS).

This type of MS is characterized by the 1st episode of neurological symptoms and must last 24 hours. Slow progression & no residual deficits.

a. Clinically Isolated Syndrome (CIS).

b. Relapse-remitting (RRMS).

c. Secondary-progressive (SPMS).

d. Primary-progressive (PPMS).

b. Relapse-remitting (RRMS).

This is the most common course for MS, with clearly defined new & increasing symptoms known as exacerbations. Remission follows with no further progression. No residual deficits.

a. Clinically Isolated Syndrome (CIS).

b. Relapse-remitting (RRMS).

c. Secondary-progressive (SPMS).

d. Primary-progressive (PPMS).

c. Secondary-progressive (SPMS).

This form of MS is characterized by progressively worsening symptoms following exacerbations. Onset is fast. This is the worst prognosis.

a. Clinically Isolated Syndrome (CIS).

b. Relapse-remitting (RRMS).

c. Secondary-progressive (SPMS).

d. Primary-progressive (PPMS).

d. Primary-progressive (PPMS).

This form of MS causes progressively worsening symptoms from onset with no exacerbations.

a. Clinically Isolated Syndrome (CIS).

b. Relapse-remitting (RRMS).

c. Secondary-progressive (SPMS).

d. Primary-progressive (PPMS).

Tremor-dominant PD.

This type of PD is characterized by resting tremors more so than bradykinesia.

Nontremor-dominant PD.

This type of PD is characterized by akinetic-rigid syndrome with postural instability.

False.

Parkinson's disease symptoms start bilaterally on the same limbs.

True or False?

True.

Parkinson's disease symptoms start on one side before progressing bilaterally.

True or False?

Females.

MS affects which gender more?

Higher.

The further away from the equator you are, the ______ the incidence rate.

Internal capsule.

A patient presents with hemiparesis and is diagnosed with MS. Where might the scar tissue or plaques be located?

d. ALS.

All of the following have associated neurocognitive deficits, except:

a. HIV.

b. Huntington's.

c. Parkinson's.

d. ALS.

f. TBI.

b. MS.

Heat intolerance is associated with:

a. COPD.

b. MS.

c. ALS.

d. Parkinson's.
