Who is most at risk of spinal cord injury because of preexisting degenerative disorders?

Biology
1 answer:
miskamm [114]3 years ago
6 0

Elderly people are most at risk from minor trauma that results in serious spinal cord injury because of preexisting degenerative vertebral disorders. Males are more prone to spinal cord injuries than females but not as a result of preexisting disorder. This may be related to an increased involvement in contact sports or a propensity to participate in high risk activities. Neither females nor infants are at any particular risk for spinal cord injuries.

The sodium amytal test involves the injection of a small amount of sodium amytal into the carotid artery on one side of the neck
romanna [79]

The sodium amytal test involves the injection of a small amount of sodium amytal into the carotid artery on one side of the neck. This injection anesthetizes the hemisphere on that side for a few minutes.

A method that involves injecting a small amount of a barbiturate into the carotid artery on one side of the head to assess hemispheric functions, usually memory and language. The cerebral hemisphere that was injected selectively becomes impaired for 10 to 15 minutes during this operation.

Various cognitive tests are given while each hemisphere is seperately anaesthetized; deficiencies on these tasks imply that these functions are represented in the anaesthetized hemisphere. Prior to a temporal lobectomy, the Wada test may be utilised in cases with severe and uncontrollable epilepsy. Also known as the Wada technique, intracarotid sodium Amytal test (ISA), Wada dominance test, and intracarotid amobarbital procedure.
