Lyrics · 完整歌詞

In children, spastic diplegic cerebral palsy follows periventricular leukomalacia of prematurity,
whereas the athetoid form follows kernicterus and carries hearing loss.
A simple febrile seizure between six months
and five years lasts under fifteen minutes,
is generalised and does not recur within a day; it needs reassurance,
not antiepileptic drugs.
Infantile spasms with hypsarrhythmia between four and eight months are West syndrome,
which needs ACTH or vigabatrin without delay.

All myasthenic weakness fatigues with use because postsynaptic receptors are scarce,
whereas Lambert-Eaton weakness improves with use as presynaptic calcium accumulates.
Is the demyelination peripheral or central?
Guillain-Barré needs immunoglobulin or plasma exchange, never steroids alone,
whereas a multiple sclerosis relapse takes intravenous methylprednisolone.
On cerebrospinal fluid, neutrophils with low glucose mean bacteria,
lymphocytes with normal glucose mean a virus,
and suspected herpes encephalitis receives aciclovir before the PCR returns.
Lumbar puncture in Guillain-Barré shows raised protein with normal cells,
and a simple febrile seizure under five needs reassurance rather than long-term antiepileptic drugs.

Medical Notes · 醫學學習提示

  1. 早產白質損傷可導致痙攣型腦麻,並非唯一病因
  2. 核黃疸可致異動型腦麻與聽損;此型也有其他病因
  3. 典型熱性痙攣多見於六個月至五歲左右
  4. 單純型少於十五分鐘;發作逾五分鐘應緊急求助
  5. 單純型為全身性且二十四小時內不重複,須評估發燒病因
  6. 通常不需長期抗癲癇藥;持續發作仍須急救
  7. 嬰兒痙攣可伴高幅失律;不限四至八個月發病
  8. 須緊急專科評估;依病因採荷爾蒙與維加巴汀等治療
  9. 重症肌無力常活動後疲乏;不全是受體數量減少
  10. 蘭伯特-伊頓症候群可在短暫活動後改善
  11. 先分辨周邊神經與中樞神經病變
  12. 格林-巴利可用免疫球蛋白或血漿置換,非類固醇
  13. MS 復發可用高劑量口服或靜脈類固醇,須依病情
  14. 嗜中性球與低糖提示細菌感染,但不能單獨確診
  15. 淋巴球與正常糖常見於病毒感染,仍須綜合判讀
  16. 懷疑疱疹腦炎即給阿昔洛韋,不等待 PCR 結果
  17. 格林-巴利常見蛋白細胞分離;早期蛋白可正常
  18. 單純熱性痙攣通常不需長期用藥;首次或逾五分鐘須就醫
