Term
closd head injury
Definition
brain floating in skull so sudden ovement smacks it against skull
Term
diffuse axonal injury
Definition
whitem atter and grey matter are of different densities. As a resulst, shearing may occur , in which axons are sheared off when brain bounces off
Term
coup-contrecoup
Definition
coup- primary impact, contrecoup- secondary impact, can be worse than primary (brain in the skull). Infalls contrecoup contusions are more frequent than coup contusion
Term
Traumatic brain injury
Definition
any kind of active dmage accident etc.
Term
miLD TBI
Definition
confuison headache, vision, tiredness, ringing of ears , bad taste in motuh, fatigue , change insleep patterns, can resovle on their own
Term
moderate or esevere TBi
Definition
hheadaches that get worse nad dont go away, repeated vomotiign or nausea, cnvulsions, seizures. inability to awken form sleep. Really b ad- coma and death.
Term
vascular accidents
Definition
stroke- rapid blockage of cerebral artery or bursting of vesel. Third leading cause of death in america, no 1. cause of adult disability. Aneurysm (spaceoccupying). AVM- can expand adn burst.
Term
effect of stroke on cns.
Definition
sudden. efect on CNS: cell death duet o lack of oxygen, excytoxoins, rfreer adicals (ischeia, trauma nd epilepsy. Large amounts of glutamate relased. Free radicalsp osiionsu to neruosn and survival.
Term
CNS infections
Definition
can develop cysts and form space ocupying lesions
Term
Tumors
Definition
space occupying lesion
Term
spinal cord injury inflammatory response
Definition
microglia, neutrophils, monocytes,lymphocytes. There are systemic effects.
Term
Spian lcord complcaitions
Definition
systemic comlpications- whoel body disease
Term
management of spinal cord injury inflammatory repsosne
Definition
methylprednisolone, erythopoeitin, minocycline.
Term
surgical advances in spinal care
Definition
implanting croots ,stablizaion of spine, imuplatnign avulsed roots
Term
sequale of SCI
Definition
tissue drsiuption: priamry cell death ,breakign of ons etc. Injured spnal cords show progressive tissue loss. Centrl hemmorhage necrosis developign within hours. Hti matter bloow flow falls byfifty person within firs t fewh ours. Metabolsim is comrpomised with high lactic acids levels Calcium levels increase and intracellularswelling due to this. Also increased intracellualr clacium elvels = activation of proteases and lipases- Ca bindin to mitochondria producing free radicals= apoptosis
Term
apotpsosis
Definition
occurs to neurons first, but also spinal cord injury is demylinetating, with oligodendrocytes apoptosis induced
Term
sequalae of SCI: break down of BBB
Definition
pro-inflammatory cyotkien resposne (il-1,6,tnfa). activation of microglia and macrophages, as well as reactive astorcytes andliosis andexpression of inhibitory molecules
Term
glial scar
Definition
reactive astroycyte resposnet o injury as part of inflammatory process and gliosis
Term
Wallerian degentiaiton
Definition
anteograde degeneration , axons degenerate from site of lesion forward.
Term
injury resposne scenarios spina lcord
Definition
anterograde where from that aprt forward. oR can lose entier cell due to lackq of stimulation from target. OR can lose multiple cells from lesion of one cell
Term
severed axons fail toregenreate
Definition
they actively retract away from injury site, nad also a physical barrier forms in spinal cord that htey would have to bridge.
Term
jinjury to axon, myelin is cleared, and inhibitory factors disrupt axone xtension
Definition
Term
neonate s. adlt cns injury resposne
Definition
neonates regenerate ,adults dont (PNS DOES grow)
Term
pns cell recovery
Definition
schwan cell regenrate and leave pathwaybeidn for axonsto follow
Term
sciatnic nerve grafts induce axonal regenratino (in cns)
Definition
so it is not neurons that stop learning hwo to go , it is related to the environment
Term
cant regenreate through glial scar , matrix moelcules in glial scar:
Definition
condroid sulfate is inhbiitory, NogA , myelin asosciated glycoprotein and oligodendroy myelin glyocorporein are inhiityor,proteoglycans are inhibitory as well.
Term
apprcahces to recent spinal injury
Definition
biochemic al o overocme inhibitory factors, ceullar substrates for axonal regen or as cell replacement therapy. management of inflammatory respoe
Term
NOGo and growth inhbition
Definition
Nogo is foudn on oligodendoryctes and has receptos on neurons .when neurosn get injured they increase bindign to NOgo- however NOGO has no signal trandsduction capabilties on its own, so therei s ac orepceptor for p75NTR. thsi combiantion eladsto activation of RhoA(?). iNbhition of this process least o increased sprouting (i.e.antibodies)- funtional recovery.
Term
cellular therapies for spianl injury
Definition
to providesubstrate for axonal regneration or remyelination
Term
Human embyryonic stemm cells transplants in to spinal cor dinjury
Definition
differeitnate itno glial cels (oligodendroscyte precursors) and increase remyelination as compared to control, and increased locomotory recovery. Also olfactory ensehating celsl are antoehr possible therapy
Term
central plasticity of SCI
Definition
as a aresutl of the injury, if spinal cord is injured, the central nervous system (particularly in cortex), have ability to reorganize themselves to recover function.
Term
Tau protein
Definition
found in increased levels in nfl players nad pro boxers
Term
B amyloid precursor
Definition
Alzheimers protein. ALso assocaited with diffsue axoal injur7
Term
chondrotin sulfate
Definition
grwoth inhibitory molecule
Term
nogA
Definition
grwoth inhbiitory molecule
Term
myelin associated glycoprotein
Definition
grwoth inhibitory
Term
Olidogendrocyte myelin glycoprotein
Definition
growth inhbitiroy
Term
proteoglycans
Definition
grwoth inhibitory
