What is Posthemorrhagic Hydrocephalus?
accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the ventricles of the brain
cerebral cortex
This part of the human body is responsible for producing insulin and regulating blood sugar levels
This class of medications is sometimes used to reduce inflammation and control the accumulation of fluid in posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus cases.
corticosteroids
How does Posthemorrhagic Hydrocephalus affect ventricular pressure?
increases due to blood accumlation
what cells are known to support neurons. bonus points if u can name some types and location (+100 for each one)
gilal cells (astrocytes in CNS, oligodendrocytes, Schwann, microgila, radial gila)
This type of white blood cell is key in fighting infections and is often elevated in response to infection or inflammation.
neutrophil
This type of therapy is often employed after surgical treatments for posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus to help with cognitive and physical development in children.
neurorehabilitation
How many grades are in the classification system?
4
what is the longest nerve in the human body?
sciatic nerve
This condition is characterized by a deficiency in red blood cells or hemoglobin, leading to fatigue, weakness, and paleness
anemia
To reduce the risk of this common shunt complication in posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus patients, clinicians may adjust shunt valve pressure or use antibiotic-impregnated shunt.
What is shunt infection or obstruction?
Which grade is characterized as ventricular dilation with blood present in the ventricle?
III
This drug, commonly used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease, mimics the effects of dopamine in the brain, helping to improve motor function
levodopa
This bacteria is known for causing stomach ulcers and has been linked to various gastric disorders.
Helicobacter pylori
Freebie!
Yipee! You get +500, and other team loses 500!
This type of surgery involves creating a hole in the floor of the third ventricle to relieve pressure in posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus, especially in patients where shunting is less successful.
endoscopic third ventriculostomy
This autoimmune disease leads to chronic inflammation in the central nervous system, causing symptoms like muscle weakness, numbness, and difficulty walking.
multiple sclerosis (MS)
This vitamin, essential for bone health, is produced by the skin when exposed to sunlight.
