This is a strange situation, but we must understand it The main cause of GBS is disconnection of source sensors (source) The main cause of GBS is a blood clot in the arteries (source) WHAT CAUSES ? It is believed that this immune system is caused by infections that lead to an attack of the peripheral myelin (due to cellular mimicry, inoculation, and stress). While there is no clear link at this time, the onset of GBS is often associated with recent infections. The most common infection before GBS is diarrhea caused by Campylobacter june. While it never seems to be the cause, GBS usually occurs after a recent infection. The most common of these in...

Summary of Traumatic System Problems What is the nervous system? The nervous system is a complex, complex system that regulates and coordinates bodily functions. It is made up of two main sections, including the following: Central nervous system. This consists of the brain and spinal cord. Border sensor system. This contains all other neural elements, including borderline nerves and independent nerves. In addition to the brain and spinal cord, the main organs of the nervous system include the following: The eyes Ears The sensory organs of taste Originaly sense organs Nerve receptors are found on the skin, joints, muscles, and other parts of the body What are some other nervous system disorders? The nervous system is at risk of various complications. It can be damaged as follows: Harassment Diseases Descending Structural disability Disruption of blood flow Automatic Disruption Disorders of the nervous system Nervous system disorders can include the following: Vascular disorders, such as...

What is nervous system| anatomy and physiology

Image
 The anatomy and physiology of the nervous system The nervous system is a complex network of nerves and nerve cells (neurons) that carry signals or messages to or from the brain and spinal cord to various parts of the body. It is made up of a central nervous system and a boundary sensory system. central nervous system The central nervous system (CNS) is made up of the brain and spinal cord. The brain regulates many bodily functions, including awareness, movement, hearing, thoughts, speech, and memory. The spinal cord is attached to the brain at the base of the brain and is covered with spinal cord. The nerves extend from the spinal cord to both sides of the body. The spinal cord carries back and forth signals between the brain and nerves throughout the body. peripheral nervous system The peripheral nervous system (PNS) is part of the nervous system outside the CNS. It is made up of nerves and ganglia that send signals and receive signals from the CNS. PNS is divided into the somati...

Respiratory distress syndrome in newborns: risk Factors, symptoms, cause, treatment and prevention

Image
Respiratory distress syndrome in newborns Objectives Causes Risk Factors Symptoms Diagnosis Treatment Prevention Problems Vision What is neonatal respiratory distress syndrome? A full-time pregnancy lasts 40 weeks. This gives the fetus time to grow. By 40 weeks, normal organs are fully formed. If a baby is born prematurely, the lungs may not develop properly, and they may not function properly. Healthy lungs are important for life. Neonatal respiratory depression , or neonatal RDS, can occur if the lungs are not fully developed. It usually happens to premature babies. Infants with newborn RDS have difficulty breathing. Neonatal RDS is also known as hyaline gland disease and pediatric respiratory disease. What causes neonatal respiratory distress syndrome? Surfactant is something that causes the lungs to grow and contract. It also keeps the small air sacs in the lungs, known as the alveoli, open. Premature infants have no surfactant. This can cause lung problems and difficulty breathin...

COPD: symptoms, cause, treatment and prevention

Image
COPD Overview Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the lungs that causes airway obstruction. Symptoms include difficulty breathing, coughing, mucus production (sputum) and shortness of breath. It is usually caused by prolonged exposure to irritating gases or particles, usually from cigarette smoke. People with COPD are at greater risk of developing heart disease, lung cancer and a variety of other conditions. Chronic bronchitis is an inflammation of the lining of the bronchial tubes, which carry air to and from the air sacs (alveoli) of the lungs. It is characterized by daily cough and mucus production (sputum). Emphysema is a condition in which the alveoli at the end of the smallest airways (bronchioles) of the lungs are destroyed due to damage to tobacco smoke and other irritating gases and particles. Although COPD is a progressive disease over time, COPD is treatable. With proper management, most people with COPD can achieve better sympt...
