Swallowing- Case Study

Sarah Miller is a 48 yo female who admitted to the ED with right hemiparesis, dysarthria and a reflexive cough while taking small sips of water. MRI of the brain confirmed an MCA distribution stroke. A bedside swallow evaluation was ordered which revealed the following: R facial droop with moderately dysarthric speech. Tongue deviates to the right on protrusion. Lips strength is moderately impaired. Palpation of larynx/hyoid during a dry swallow revealed mildly reduced laryngeal elevation/excursion. Vocal quality is soft and breathy. Unable to complete diakochokinetic rate due to poor approximation and coordination of movements.

1. Name 3 cranial nerves you think could be damaged and explain why?

2. What indications (ie symptoms) do you subjectively consider based on the patient?s presentation (prior to initiating the exam) just based off of what you see, hear and have read about the medical history?

3. What does the inability to complete the diadochokinetic rate tell you about the patient?s speech/swallow deficits?

1. Fick’s Law: define it and list examples where evolution has selected for traits that enhance diffusion

2. Intrinsic and extrinsic control mechanisms – provide examples in two tissues

What phrase has the same meaning as "the molecular pathways of photoreceptors"?

Suggest a single, specific malfunction in the immune system that would affect at least three other systems. For each system, explain how it would be affected and what that system would do to bring the body back to homeostasis. (Note: an infection is not necessarily a malfunction)
