4. The effect of dementia on the brain results in cerebral cortex swelling.
True
False
5. Postural instability is a late feature of PD.
True
False
6. Which of the following is considered the main treatment strategy for Parkinson’s disease to
increase dopamine signaling in the brain?
Administer amantadine
Administer pramipexole
Administer levodopa
Administer bromocriptine
Dysarthria: Difficulty or unclear speech that is due to plaques in the brain stem.
Nystagmus: This is involuntary rapid eye movement due to plaques on the nerves that cause eye
movements.
Intention tremor: This can be caused by plaques along the motor pathways of the spinal cord
which can affect outbound signals and skeletal muscle control.
Diagnostic tests used to diagnose Multiple Sclerosis include:
An MRI that shows multiple CNS lesions called white matter plaque.
Cerebrospinal fluid analysis.
Visual evoked potential.
7. Multiple sclerosis is classified as a:
Type I hypersensitivity reaction.
Type II hypersensitivity reaction.
Type III hypersensitivity reaction.
Type IV hypersensitivity reaction.
Relapsing Remitting MS (RRMS): Remyelination takes place for a period of time. There is no
disability between episodes.
Secondary Progressive MS (SPMS): The immune attack becomes constant over time which
causes a steady progression of disability.
Primary progressive MS (PPMS): There is one constant attack on the myelin.
Progressive Relapsing MS (PRMS): This also involves one constant attack where the disability
happens very fast.
8. Lhermitte’s sign is an electric shock that runs down the back and radiates in the limbs when
bending the neck forward.
True
