Poliomyelitis Poliomyelitis is an acute virus disease caused by the poliovirus‚ characterized by fever‚ motor paralysis‚ and atrophy of skeletal muscles. This often results in permanent disability and deformity‚ and inflammation of nerve cells in the ventral horns of the spinal cords. This disease is also known as infantile paralysis and polio. Polio is transmitted by direct person to person contact‚ contact with an infected mucus or phlegm‚ and contact with infected feces. The virus enters through

Furthermore‚ the chemical materials used in plastic surgeries cause‚ in many cases‚ serious infections in the internal organs. The spread of these infections in the whole body can certainly cause death after a short period of time. People should take in consideration this fact seriously.

Many people suffering from polio or infantile paralysis required such a device. The polio virus can damage the nervous system causing paralysis of the diaphragm.

Handout Lab 5 - Cranial Nerves: Assessment of Functions INTRODUCTION The central nervous system (CNS) consists of the brain and the spinal cord. The CNS receives sensory information from other parts of the body or the body’s external environment and transmits motor information to other parts of the body by way of the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The PNS of the human includes 31 pairs of spinal nerves and 12 pairs of cranial nerves. Some nerves contain only motor nerve fibers (efferent

Although the virus is extremely contagious‚ the human immune response can be considered a very worthy advisory in fighting polio. Most of those infected will not experience any symptoms‚ and only a very small percentage of those who do will develop paralysis from the virus. There are three known strands of the poliovirus‚ commonly referred to as PV1‚ PV2‚ and PV3. Brilliant research and modern science have since almost eradicated the virus through the development of vaccines and a global eradication

The effect of drugs‚ toxins‚ and other molecules on synapse and synapse transmission. The synapse is the small gap separating two neurons‚ the presynaptic neuron (neuron that carries the impulse to the synapse‚) and postsynaptic neuron (neuron that carries the impulse away from the synapse.) It separates the axon terminals of the presynaptic neuron from the postsynaptic neuron. The synapse is made of three major parts: a presynaptic neuron‚ a postsynaptic neuron‚ and a synaptic cleft. The presynaptic

Electromyography is also useful in determining the cause of weakness‚ paralysis‚ or muscle pain that can only be resolved with movement. The issues associated with these sorts of diagnosis may stem from problems in a muscle‚ the nerves supplying a muscle‚ the spinal cord‚ or the areas of the brain that control these muscles
