ALU 301 CORRECT STUDY QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS SET A+
✔✔leukemia - ✔✔can involve chemotherapy
✔✔acute myelogenous leukemia - ✔✔develops after age 50
✔✔acute lymphocytic leukemia - ✔✔can occur at any age, primarily affects children,
peak afe 3-4 yrs,
✔✔chronic lymphocytic leukemia - ✔✔most common form of adult leukemia, very rare
in those under age 45, incidence rises with age, males twice as likely as females,
✔✔Ann Arbor staging system - ✔✔stage I-single lymph node or extralymphatic organ
stage II-two or more node regions on same side
stage III-several node regions
stage IV-diffuse involvement
✔✔Cerebral Palsy - ✔✔birth or early infacy, brain damage during gestation, at time of
birth, or shortly after birth.
leading cause of disability
✔✔Associated musculoskeletal problems with cerebral palsy - ✔✔learning disabilities,
behaviorla problems, spastic or flaccid paralysis or paresis, intellectual function,
sensorineural loss, seizures
✔✔Polyneuropathies - ✔✔Multiple nerves, acute forms, Guillain-Barre, chronic forms-
inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy
✔✔Acquired inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy - ✔✔include guillain barre,
chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, can usually be treated successfully
✔✔Gullian-Barre - ✔✔immune mediated inflammatory condition.
, onset after mild bacterial or viral infection
progressive weakness present in legs, progresses over hrs to wks to upper body and
arms, varying degree of paralysis.
severe cases total body paralysis, respiratory distress necessitating ventilatory support,
cardiac arrhythmias, severe lability in blood pressure
most make full recovery within a few wks to months, small percent prolonged or
permanent disability
✔✔Multifocal motor neuropathy - ✔✔immune mediated, demyelinating neuropathy
characterized by slowly progressive muslce weakness, fasciculations, cramping of
muscles. sensory involvement is minimal or absent, onset asymmetric, affecting a single
peripheral nerve causing wrist drop, foot drop, or grip weakness.
Rare, males more freq, mean age 40, much more common in lower limbs
✔✔Dementia - ✔✔Neurodegenerative, vascular, encephalopathy, non metaolic
✔✔Huntington disease - ✔✔described by George Huntington 1872, called huntington's
chorea, autosomal dominant condition causes progressive neurodegenerative disorder,
choreiform movements, psychiatric issues, and dementia.
✔✔Parkinsonism - ✔✔refers to a group of symptoms that resemble those seen in
Parkinson's disease but are secondary to another disease.
primary and secondary
✔✔Primary Parkinsonism - ✔✔sporadic and familial
✔✔Secondary Parkinsonism - ✔✔drug induced, dopamine agonists and depletors,
hemiatrophy, hydrocephalus normal pressure, hypoxia, infectious post encephalitis,
metabolic, toxin, trauma, tumor, bascular; multi infarct
✔✔Parkinson-Plus Syndromes - ✔✔cortical basal ganglionic degeneration, dementia
syndromes, alzheimer disease, diffuse lewy body, frontotemporal dementia, multiple
system atrophy syndromes, shy-drager syndrome, motor neuron disease, progressive
supranuclear palsy
✔✔Parkinson's Disease - ✔✔affecting -2% at age 60, increasing to 3-55% age 85
2nd most common neurodegenerative disorder in US after Alzheimers
expected to rise with baby boomers
✔✔Chronic, progressive Parkinson's Disease is characterized by - ✔✔1. tremor at rest
improves with movement unilateral
2. muscle stiffness or rigidity-cogwheel rigidity (little jerks)
3. bradykinesia
4. postural instability, loss of balance
