How does citrate blood causes hypocalcemia?
Citrate blood causes hypocalcemia through the toxic substances that it has. This will cause blood transfusion to flow in large volumes.
What causes nerve irritability and painful muscle cramps from having hypocalcemia?
Tetany
What is a chronic progressive neuromuscular disorder that causes severe skeletal muscle weakness?
myasthenia gravis
How calcium supplements useful in veterinary?
Calcium supplements are useful primarily to treat hypocalcemia. This is a nutritional issue that typically arises around pregnancy. In dogs, pregnancy hypocalcemia tends to be pre-parturient (before birth) and causes a tonic paralysis (rigid paralysis). In dairy cattle, hypocalcemia tends to be post-paturient (after birth) and causes a flaccid paralysis (floppy or loose paralysis). In both cases, careful administration of intravenous calcium can reverse the paralysis in a matter of hours.
What is a drug that causes temporary paralysis by blocking the transmission of nerve stimuli to the muscles.?
A neuromuscular blocker causes temporary paralysis by blocking the transmission of nerve stimuli to the muscles. This type of drug is used adjunctively to anesthesia to produce paralysis.
How does a neuromuscular blocking agent such as metubine interfere with muscle contraction?
A Neuromuscular block may use metubine. Metubine will cause the receptors on the motor end- plate to bind. It antagonizes the neurotransmitter actions when it causes it to bind.
What causes calcium in the eye?
There are several different conditions that can cause calcium deposits in the eye. These include hypocalcemia, gout, renal failure, and chronic inflammation.
What is neuromuscular scoliosis?
Scoliosis is a side-to-side curvature of the spine. Neuromuscular scoliosis is due to loss of control of the nerves or muscles which support the spine. The most common causes of this type of scoliosis are cerebral palsy and muscular dystrophy.
Strengths and weaknesses of CAT scans?
a cats weakness is ventroflexion of the neck is a common presentation in cats with neuromuscular causes of acute weakness.
What causes the density of seawater to increase?
The density of seawater increases if salinity increases.
What are some causes of a limp?
There are several causes of a limp. Often it is caused by pain, weakness, neuromuscular imbalance or a skeletal deformity. However, the most common cause of a limp is physical trauma.
Does hypercalcemia cause depression of the nervous system?
Yes, hypercalcemia (high levels of calcium in the blood) can cause depression of the nervous system. Excess calcium can interfere with the normal functioning of nerve cells, leading to symptoms such as confusion, fatigue, weakness, muscle aches, and depression. Treatment involves addressing the underlying cause and restoring calcium levels to normal range.
