Central pontine myelinolysis (CPM) is a demyelinating disorder that affects the central part of the brainstem, called the pons. It is often caused by a rapid shift in serum sodium levels, leading to damage of the myelin sheath that covers nerve fibers. This condition can result in a variety of neurological symptoms, including muscle weakness, difficulty speaking, and impaired coordination.

Which charged particle is found in the central core?
You think probable to proton.
What properties tells the most about stability of a metal?
You think probable to electronegativity.
What are the descending fibers that can be found in crus cerebri of the midbrain?
The descending fibers found in the crus cerebri of the midbrain include the corticospinal tract, corticobulbar tract, and corticopontine fibers. These fibers are involved in motor control and convey signals from the cerebral cortex to the spinal cord, brainstem, and pontine nuclei.
What chemical starts with Be?
You think probable to beryllium.
What the compound naming for LiPO?
You think probable to a lithium ion-polymer (used in batteries).
When was Pontine Paus born?
Pontine Paus was born in 1973.
Which charged particle is found in the central core?
You think probable to proton.
What can cause bilateral pinpoint pupils?
pontine hemorrhage
What is pontine?
The term "pontine" typically refers to structures or functions related to the pons, which is a region in the brainstem involved in various important functions like regulating sleep, breathing, and communication between different parts of the brain. In medical contexts, "pontine" may also refer to pathologies or conditions that affect the pons.
Branches of the basilar artery are called Pantene?
The correct answer is pontine.
What center is located in the pons?
pneumotaxic pontine respirator group (PRG)
How does a pontine haemorrhage produce a pinpoint pupil?
A pontine, or brain stem hemorrhage, produces a pinpoint pupil because the fibers in the brain are unaffected. Therefore, dilation is interrupted, causing the pinpoint, but eyes can look relatively normal.
Why do you give hypertonic saline slowly to a patient that is hyponaetremic?
Hypertonic saline solution is given slowly to a patient that is hyponaetremic because it raises their sodium levels. Raising the sodium levels too quickly could cause central pontine myelinolysis.
How can you diagnost Pontine hemorrhage by using pupils?
usually patient will be presented with pin point pupils
What are the comparative and superlative forms of the word probable?
more probable most probable
What is the adjective of probable?
probable is an adjective
Where is the Pontine Mountains located?
