Waiting romm

The neurological examination should always begin before the patient enters the doctor’s
office. Movement disorders in particular lend themselves to a spot diagnosis. In today’s busy
buzzing world, it seems wasteful not to make use of the various diagnostic clues that can be
picked up readily while the patient is still in the waiting room. We present several illustrative
examples, drawn from the literature and from our own experience. These are divided
according to the different waiting room ‘stages’: the patient sitting in the waiting room, the
response on being summoned to enter the consulting room—including rising from the chair,
exchanging initial pleasantries and the way of walking. We also discuss the importance of
paying attention to the patient’s behaviour, clothing, posture, breathing patterns, facial
expression and major gait abnormalities.

Neurology
 is the branch of medicine concerned with the study and treatment of
disorders of the nervous system. The nervous system is a complex,
sophisticated system that regulates and coordinates body activities. It has
two major divisions: Central nervous system: the brain and spinal cord
 Common Neurological Disorders
Neurological disorders consist of various levels, and which are not so common, namely Lou
Gehrig's disease, dementia, Down syndrome, Bell's Palsy, autism, epilepsy, Guillain-Barre
syndrome, meningitis, restless leg syndrome, stroke, encephalitis, narcolepsy, and others. .

When to See a Neurologist?

If you experience recurring symptoms, it is highly recommended to see a
doctor immediately. Your doctor will refer you to a neurologist if necessary.
Symptoms of neurological disorders usually include: Headaches that are
more severe, persistent, or accompanied by nausea and vomiting Change of
views Pain that is bothersome for months to years Limp Numb Impaired
urinary and bowel control Dizzy Amusement Movement disturbances or
unintended movements such as sudden movements, shaking, difficulty
organizing, and difficulty walking Seizures Memory problems Confusion
Sleep disturbance
Electromyography (EMG) measures muscle response or electrical activity in response to a
nerve's stimulation of the muscle. The test is used to help detect neuromuscular
abnormalities. During the test, one or more small needles (also called electrodes) are
inserted through the skin into the muscle.
Transcranial Doppler (TCD) is a minimally invasive (non-invasive) procedure that uses ultrasound
waves to measure blood flow in the brain.
Lab cath or cardiac catheterization & angiography are invasive diagnostic cardiology procedures or procedures.
His method uses X-rays to show a picture of blood vessels in various organs of the body. For example, the heart to
see for disease, blockage, narrowing, or widening of these blood vessels. The tools used in the cath lab can produce
a detailed picture of the blood vessels. That way, this procedure can help doctors accurately in performing the
surgical procedure or Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA).
