Disorders of the Nervous Tissue01:28

Disorders of the Nervous Tissue

3.0K
Nervous tissue is a vital component of the human body's communication system, enabling us to perceive and respond to stimuli. However, like all other tissues, it is vulnerable to disorders and diseases that can significantly impact our neurological functioning.
Homeostatic Imbalances:
Alzheimer's disease manifests as a gradual decline in memory and cognitive abilities, attributed to the buildup of amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in the brain.
Parkinson's disease arises from the...

Inborn Errors of Metabolism01:20

Inborn Errors of Metabolism

1.1K
Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a protein metabolism disorder characterized by high blood levels of the amino acid phenylalanine. This results from a mutation in the gene responsible for phenylalanine hydroxylase, an enzyme that converts phenylalanine into tyrosine. When this enzyme is deficient, phenylalanine builds up in the blood, leading to symptoms such as vomiting, rashes, seizures, growth deficiency, and severe mental retardation. An early diagnosis and a diet restricting phenylalanine intake...

Brain Imaging

1.0K
Brain imaging technologies provide critical insights into both the structure and function of the human brain, enabling medical professionals and researchers to diagnose, study, and treat neurological disorders or psychiatric disorders more effectively.
These technologies include computerized axial tomography (CAT or CT scans), positron-emission tomography (PET scans),  magnetic resonance imaging (MRI),  functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and Transcranial Magnetic...

Gut-Brain Axis01:22

Gut-Brain Axis

222
The gut–brain axis is a bidirectional communication system that connects the gastrointestinal tract and the brain. This interaction is mediated through multiple pathways, including the vagus nerve, hormonal signals, immune responses, and chemical messengers produced by gut microbes.Microbial Contributions to Brain FunctionGut microbiota contributes significantly to brain function by producing neuroactive compounds. These include neuroactive compounds that influence neurotransmitters such...

Brain Abscess l: Introduction01:26

Brain Abscess l: Introduction

21
A brain abscess is a focal, intracerebral infection characterized by a localized collection of pus within the brain parenchyma, resulting from microbial invasion and the body’s inflammatory response. It progresses through stages: early and late cerebritis, followed by early and late capsule formation, reflecting tissue destruction, immune response, and eventual encapsulation.Etiology and PathogenesisCausative organisms vary with source and host factors, often involving polymicrobial...

Hepatic Encephalopathy01:29

Hepatic Encephalopathy

53
DefinitionHepatic encephalopathy is a reversible neurologic syndrome that results from advanced liver dysfunction or portosystemic shunting. It leads to disturbances in cognition, behavior, and motor function due to the brain’s exposure to gut-derived toxins that the liver fails to detoxify.EtiologyThis condition develops either in the setting of acute fulminant hepatitis or progressively during chronic liver disease, such as cirrhosis and portal hypertension. Portosystemic...

    Area of Science:

    • Neuropsychiatry
    • Internal Medicine
    • Psychopathology

    Background:

    • Many medical conditions manifest with neuropsychiatric signs and symptoms.
    • Patients with these symptoms are often referred to mental health facilities.
    • Undiagnosed medical issues can lead to improper treatment in psychiatric settings.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To emphasize the importance of medical evaluation for patients presenting with neuropsychiatric symptoms.
    • To prevent misdiagnosis and ensure appropriate medical treatment.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of common medical disorders presenting with neuropsychiatric signs.
    • Categorization of these disorders based on psychopathology.

    Main Results:

    • Medical disorders frequently present with neuropsychiatric symptoms.
    • A basic medical evaluation can identify underlying medical conditions.
    • These conditions can be organized by predominant psychopathology.

    Conclusions:

    • Awareness of medical disorders with neuropsychiatric presentations is vital.
    • Basic medical evaluation of all "psychiatric" patients is essential.
    • This approach improves diagnosis and treatment, avoiding inappropriate mental health facility referrals.
