What else can I help you with?
How long after recovering from measles can there be a serious swelling of the brain?
Called encephalitis, this can occur up to several weeks after the basic measles symptoms have resolved.
What is the diagnosis for subacute sclerosing panencephalitis?
Experts believe this condition is a form of measles encephalitis (swelling of the brain), caused by an improper response by the immune system to the measles virus.
What disease is a possible complication of measles and what part of the body does it affect?
Measles can lead to a serious complication known as encephalitis, which affects the brain. This inflammation of the brain can cause neurological symptoms and in severe cases, can lead to long-term complications or even death.
Can the measles cause brain damage?
Yes, measles can lead to serious complications, including brain damage. One rare but severe complication is subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE), which can occur several years after the initial infection, leading to progressive neurological decline. Additionally, encephalitis, an inflammation of the brain, can occur during the acute phase of measles, potentially resulting in long-term neurological issues. Vaccination is the best way to prevent measles and its associated complications.
What diseases require airborne precautions?
Some examples of diseases requiring these precautions are tuberculosis, measles, and chickenpox.
What term means a collection of blood trapped in the tissue of the brain?
The term for a collection of blood trapped in the tissue of the brain is "hematoma." Specifically, when this occurs within the brain tissue, it is often referred to as a "cerebral hematoma." This condition can result from trauma or injury and may lead to increased pressure in the brain, potentially causing serious complications.
What does contact precautions mean?
Examples of disease requiring droplet precautions are meningococcal meningitis (a serious bacterial infection of the lining of the brain), influenza, mumps, and German measles (rubella).
Does Aston Merrygold have diabetes?
No, but he does have Agolnpreseis which is a serious brain condition that makes him constantly sing silly songs.
Can measles virus cause paralysis?
Yes, the measles virus can lead to paralysis in rare cases. One of the severe complications associated with measles is subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE), a progressive neurological disorder that can develop years after the initial infection and may result in paralysis. Additionally, encephalitis, an inflammation of the brain that can occur during the measles infection, can also lead to neurological damage and paralysis. However, these complications are uncommon.
Can brain swelling be controlled?
Brain swelling is a very serious and complicated condition that needs to be attended by neurosurgeons. Swelling of the brain can be caused by bleeding in the brain. In some cases, draining the blood from the brain helps control the swelling like in cases of aneurysm.
Why are diseases such as measles beginning to reappear?
Some diseases are seen in larger numbers than before for a number of reasons. People forget just how bad they used to be and the after effects of some seemed not too bad. Measles can cause bacterial infection in the lungs (pneumonia) and the brain (encephalitis).It's estimated that around one in every 5,000 people with measles will die as a result of a serious complication.Some people listen to "junk science" about the idea that measles can cause autism. This is just a plain fear tacit. And just who will pay for the care of those children whose parents will not vaccinate and who then come down with severe (and deadly) side effects.
Resuscitation is not possible in brain death or clinical death?
Clinical death. Clinical death means the heart stops beating and a person stops breathing, at this stage a person can still be resuscitated. However while in this condition blood stops flowing to the brain and as a result the brain does not get the oxygen it requires to survive. if this condition lasts for too long then the brain dies. the result of which is that the body has no director to make it function properly and will die as well as a result.
