PATHOPHYSIOLOGY: NEUROLOGICAL SYSTEM - DEGENERATIVE DISORDERS PART 1

Neurodegenerative diseases are progressive disorders that result in chronic, incurable, debilitating conditions that lead to damage or death of nerve cells. The consequences of these pathologies can result in motor, sensory, and/or cognitive dysfunction and eventually death.

This program is the first of two parts on neurodegenerative diseases, and describes the characteristics, risk factors, and symptoms of chronic traumatic encephalopathy, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and Huntington's disease.

After completing this course, the learner should be able to describe risk factors and symptoms of:

Chronic traumatic encephalopathy

Alzheimer's disease

Parkinson's disease

Huntington's disease

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY: NEUROLOGICAL SYSTEM - SEIZURES AND BRAIN TUMORS

The brain and nerves are often thought of as a smooth-running highway of electrical activity inside the body. But uncontrolled electrical activity in the brain-a seizure-can result in tremendous disruption throughout the body, that in turn, can lead to an altered level of consciousness or other neurologic, motor, or behavioral manifestations. In some cases, the cause of the seizure is even more threatening-a brain tumor.

This program describes the characteristics, risk factors, and symptoms of different types of seizures and brain tumors.

After completing this course, the learner should be able:

List three neurological and five additional risk factors for seizures

Differentiate between generalized seizures and partial (focal) seizures

List six complications that can arise from seizures

Explain the four general categories of brain tumors

Describe the grading scale for malignant brain tumors

STROKE BIOMARKERS: CURRENT STATUS, FUTURE PROMISE

With Robert Christenson

When a patient presents with stroke symptoms, it's important to quickly determine a) if they are indeed having a stroke and b) what type of stroke they are having. If clinicians can quickly answer these questions, they can begin management strategies and therapy in time to potentially improve health outcomes. Unfortunately, the timely assessment of patients with suspected ischemic stroke remains challenging. Brain biomarker assays have the potential, however, to improve early diagnosis of ischemic stroke.

During this informative webinar, you will hear:

How stroke is currently classified, diagnosed, and treated

The characteristics of an "ideal" biomarker or panel of biomarkers for ischemic stroke

What assays currently show promise as potential stroke biomarkers

What obstacles must be overcome before these biomarkers can be used clinically

The DVD humanizes stroke survivors and families by telling their stories and to educate the public (AND ESPECIALLY YOU) about the importance of early recognition and treatment.

LIVING AFTER STROKE:
Conversations with Couples: This video is an honest and poignant exploration of the impact of strokes on the lives of six couples. The couples, ranging in age from their early 40s to their Late 70s, are interviewed two to four years after their strokes. They discuss the impact of the stroke on their lives and relationships. They explore TOPICS such as intimacy, finances, depression, pain, frustration, fear, job loss, and daily struggles. Despite their suffering, they reveal the ability of the human spirit to maintain hope and to work for a better future.

STROKE: EARLY RECOGNITION & TREATMENT:
This DVD is an in-depth exploration of stroke - the warning signs, early treatment, and continuing recovery. Interviews. Interviews with three neurologists are interspersed with short clips of couples describing the onset of their strokes. The audience learns about the newest techniques for reducing brain damage through early treatment of stroke in the emergency room. Rehabilitative measures to retrain the body after the stroke are also discussed.
