Chapter 34.6, Problem 2TYK
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
There are many diseases which can occur in an individual due to several reasons. These reasons may include infection by different organisms and may be due to physiological imbalances in the body. So, the diseases may be acquired or present genetically.

Brown-Sequard syndrome is characterized by all the following, except :-a- loss of vibration sense on the opposite side below level of the lesionb- loss of voluntary movements on the same side below the level of the lesionc- loss of reflex movements on the same side at the level of the lesiond- loss of pain sensation on the opposite side below the level of the lesion
Tinnitus produces a ringing sound in the ear, although no external sound is actually present. It is
a symptom that manifests from various underlying conditions of the ear.
One condition that leads to tinnitus is earwax impaction. Many individuals use cotton swabs to
clean the auditory canal daily. Instead of removing the earwax, cotton swabs tend to push the
earwax farther into the auditory canal, causing the earwax to accumulate in the ear. This may
result in tinnitus and decreased ability to hear.
Earwax impaction in the auditory canal will
Select one:
a. lead to the loss of hair cells in the organ of Corti
b. lead to perception deafness
c. damage the ossicles
d. lead to conduction deafness
Please summarize and bullet the following paragraph below.
TCS has no known cure. The treatment is tailored to the exact symptoms that each person exhibits. Treatment may necessitate the collaboration of a group of professionals. TCS patients are monitored on a regular basis by doctors in order to spot any iregularities that could be linked to the iliness. Hearing loss in an affected individual, for example, should be closely checked. To promote optimal speech development, a comprehensive examination of an infant's hearing should be performed early in life, even before one year of age, and then yearly after that.
The eye's interior is visualized with a tool called an ophthalmoscope to detect any possible visual impairment. This evaluation is necessary to guarantee that persons who experience eye problems as a result of TCS receive appropriate preventive measures and/or quick treatment Jaw and dental problems should also be evaluated in those who are affected. It is critical to…

- Occupational Hearing Loss Frequent exposure to loud noise of a particular pitch can cause loss of hair cells in the part of the cochlea that responds to that pitch. People who work with or around noisy machinery are at risk for such frequency-specific hearing loss. Taking precautions such as using ear plugs to reduce sound exposure is important. Noise-induced hearing loss can be prevented, but once it occurs it is irreversible because dead or damaged hair cells are not replaced. FIGURE 33.24 shows the threshold decibel levels at which sounds of different frequencies can be detected by an average 25-year-old carpenter, a 50-year-old carpenter, and a 50-year-old who has not been exposed to on-the-job noise. Sound frequencies are given in hertz (cycles per second), The more cycles per second, the higher the pitch. FIGURE 33.24 Effects of age aria occupational noise exposure. The graph shows the threshold hearing capacities fin decibels) for sounds of different frequencies (given in hertz) in a 25-year-okj carpenter (blue). a 50-year-old carpenter (red), arid a 50-year-ofd who did not have any on-the-job noise exposure (brown). 1. Which sound frequency was most easily detected by all three people?arrow_forwardHere is your patient: Danny is a 58-year-old former smoker who works as a sales representative for a large insurance company. Recently, Danny has experienced changes in his urination and is very thirsty. He has not been to see a doctor about these symptoms because it is “crunch-time” at work and he needs to meet his sales goals or he will lose his job. Additionally, Danny has had headaches and some blurred vision that seem to occur more often at work. He is also very tired. 1. Identify at least 2 possible diseases. 2. Explain, in detail, what makes you suspect each possible disease. a. List the signs and symptoms of each disease. b. Identify potential treatments for each disease. 3. Identify past, current and future lifestyle choices that impacted the patient's health. If you were Danny’s doctor, what diseases would you suspect and why? Be sure to answer all of the above questions.arrow_forwardUnilateral Cerebral strokes can cause deficits in motor control, somatic sensation and vision. However, they do not cause deficits in hearing. The explanation for this is: Auditory information does not reach the cortex Auditory information only goes to one hemisphere. Auditory information goes to both hemispheres How are the outer segments of photoreceptors positioned? between bipolar cells and horizontal cells in the outermost layer of the retina in the ganglion cell layer farthest from the pigment epitheliumarrow_forward

Many affected individuals have difficulty understanding words because, although they may be able to hear the sound, they are unable to distinguish the exact words. This hearing loss is most noticeable at higher frequencies. Which of the following statements correctly describes an individual suffering from presbycusis? Select one: a. Individuals with presbycusis have damaged hair cells at the base of the cochlea, which is closest to the oval window. b. Increasing the volume of higher frequency sound allows individuals affected with presbycusis to hear better. O c. Individuals with presbycusis have damaged hair cells at the apex of the cochlea, which is farthest from to the oval window. Od. Decreasing the amplitude of lower frequency sound allows individuals affected with presbycusis to hear better.arrow_forward
