Mass in the brain means like a tumor and cancer together... The symptoms of brain mass is usally headaches. The best thing to get started is to visit the family physician, internist, or primary care. Neurologists are doctors trained in the workings of the brain, spine, and nerves. Another symptom is seizures. Seizures are usally caused by a disruption in the normal flow of electricity in the brain. Focial seizures are muscel twitching or jerking of an arm or leg, amnormal smells or tastes, problems with speech or numbness, and tingling are most likely to occur. Mass effects are due to increased intracranial pressure. This usally is a tumor growing within the tight confines of the scull by hydrocephalus. Hydrocephalus is the blockage of fluid around the brain.

A neurological examination is an essential component of a comprehensive physical examination. It is a systematic examination that surveys the functioning of nerves delivering sensory information to the brain and caring motor commands.

I was diagnosed with Bell's Palsy today (Mon 11/02/08) I first had symptoms on Saturday. I have read on various websites including the BP official website that the average length of symptoms is 2-4months. That would mean I MIGHT be back to normal by May or June...which seems soooooo far away. At the moment I have no pain, I just look very strange when I smile! 8-? BUT the symptoms are supposed to get more serious over the first 2 weeks! *gulp* My biggest worry is that I crap out on the odds and am the 1 out of ten that doesnt make such a "fast" recovery!! I have read posts on forums from people that are still suffering a year and even 2(!!) years on.

This depends on the state scope-of-practice laws, but clinical duties could ordinarily include rooming patients, obtaining history, suture removal, staple removal, assisting with lumbar puncture, set up of sterile field, phlebotomy, and patient discharge instruction. May also be involved with clinical trials if this is part of the office practice.

It is thought that the herpes virus causes it. There really are no preventative measures other than keeping your immune system healthy (taking Vitamin C, eating healthy, getting enough rest, etc.) The virus will only come out of dormancy during an immuno-compromised condition.

Yes, pregnant women can have Bell's palsy. Pregnant woman are over 30% more likely to suffer from the condition than anyone else, which is why raising awareness at ante-natal classes and with fellow pregnant friends and relatives is important. If you experience drooping of the mouth and eyes, tingling and numbness in your face and/or an inability to control facial movements then you should see your doctor as soon as possible. There is a higher change of a quick recovery if you seek treatment quickly after the onset of symptoms.

Hi, I have been suffering with this disease for many years. I think my history will explain your question. I had my first onset when I was 29 years old. I had numerous piercings on my ears that would constantly get infected which i never treated. Fianlly, the infection turned into something way worse. Naturally, the doctors did not diagnose me properly and simply gave me some antibiotics. Two days later it was worse and they just put me on more antibiotics; when what i actually need was an anti-viral. I had 3 onsets when finally they had to call in a specialist who diagnosed me right on the spot. "Herpes Zoster" otherwise known as "Ramsey Hunt Syndrome". So unfortunately, i wasn't treated properly during my first few outbreaks and it was REALLY bad. I later found out, on a message board with people who have Ramsey Hunt, that most of the people that weren't given the right medication on the first unset of the disease, where the same people who would have "chronic" cases of the disease throughout life. People who were put on anti-viral medication within 72 hours of onset seemed to be the prople who only had it once. Some people only get it once, but there are many of us who get onsets on a chronic basis. Mine flares every 2 months and i have permanent nerve damage in my ears. They itch every day of my life (i have it in both my ears now). But even those people who only have it once can suffer a lifetime with chronic pain. I, unfortunately, suffer with chronic pain every day of my life and have problems with my balance as well. Hope this answers your question.

There is no curable or preventive treatment for HSP, except for antispasmodic drugs to reduce muscle spasms.

The olfactory bulb (for the sense of smell) is located in the limbic system of the brain.

Autonomic Reflexes are micro movements in response to specific stimuli that are not regulated by conscious effort. Its most effective use is in the Autonomic Digital Reflexapproach in which twitches of the fingers are decoded as meaningful reactions of the body's inner state.

Bells palsy indicates massage to maintain flexibility and good circulation in the affected muscles. People afflicted with paralysis are unable to give any feedback on things like pressure and limits with movement, which could lead to injury to the client, since the therapist could be injuring them without either person being aware of it.

It is currently felt to be caused by mutations in a gene (PAHX) that encodes a protein called phyanoly-CoA hydroxylase and is important for metabolizing phytanic acid.

the protplasm of a nerve cell: protoplasm is the jelly like material in a cell both inside and outside the nucleus, where the chemical reactions that support life take place.

Neurologists use dexamethasone for many diseases.

To shrink swollen brain due to tumor, to treat meningitis, to treat some kind of peripheral nerve disorders, etc.

One may refer to neurology websites or textbooks to find it out.

Yes it can do that, CIDP long term can turn into ALS, and MSA can start off with neuropathy symptoms and later turn into full blown MSA.

Neuroscience nursing is a distinctive area within the discipline of nursing. It focuses on the care of individuals with brain, spine and nervous system disorders

There are actually 3 parts to a neuron. The dendrites are tree branch like projections that receive nerve impulses from another neuron, the cell body that contains the nucleus, and the axon, a long fiber that carries the nerve impulse away from the cell body to the next neuron.
