Tetany vs. Tetanus: The 'Ca++ Connection' Unveiled - What's in a Name? | NEET PG | MBBS | Dr Vivek |

Tetany and tetanus are similar sounding terms. Is there anything common in them? Then, there is physiological tetanus and a disease caused by Clostridium tetani bacillus. What are the underlying mechanisms? What is the "Ca++ connection" in these terms? Watch the video for the answers.

Have you ever wondered about the intriguing connection between medical terms like tetany and tetanus, both seemingly related yet distinct? In this enlightening video, we'll unravel the mysteries of these terms and explore the pivotal role of calcium (Ca++) in their etiology. Join us as we delve into the fascinating world of neuromuscular physiology and infectious diseases, deciphering the "Ca++ Connection" that binds these conditions. Whether you're a medical student, a curious science enthusiast, or someone looking to enhance your knowledge of medical terminology, this video offers a captivating journey through the intricacies of naming conventions and the scientific underpinnings of tetany and tetanus. Don't miss out on this opportunity to deepen your understanding of these medical marvels!

[mahimameshram]

Thank you so much Sir! For Clearing the concepts 😊👍

[Dr_khushwant]

Thank you sir 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Sir aap bahut achhe concept batate ho 😀😀😀😀😀😀

[akankshatayal]

Amazing explanation.. Can't find it anywhere else.. 👍👍

[varshitha]

Sir, Could you please explain why lethargy is seen in hypercalcemia?

[sainiksefteri]

Could you explain more the difference between symptoms between hyper and hypo-calcinemia (tingling, contraction...) ? Is it possible to appear only in a specific location of neuromuscular system? Calcium concentration in the blood can be used for an assessment of these conditions?

[xDomglmao]

Excellent, thank you very much!
Just a question, why don't smooth muscles contract?

[arianabtsarmy]

Thank you sir ❤
But even if there's depolarisation, how does the neurotransmitters get out of the presynaptic cell if there's a decreased calcium level ?

[narasimha]

Sir why sustained depolarisation due to hypocalcemia don’t cause down regulation of Na+ channels
Usually if continuous depolarisation is given, it causes Dow regulation of Na+ channels?

[xuglnwe]

Thanks my doctor, do you have a spicial book have you??

[itsmeranja]

in neet 2016 lack of relaxation between successive stimuli leading to sustained muscle contraction. is . option mein both spasm and tetanus given what to do correct is tetanus

[lananh]

I also feel like dystonia, my right side of my body is spasmed (neck is pulled forward, hand are retracted) and it takes about 5-10 seconds to go away, but it is very easy to flare up when I'm stressed, stand up or move suddenly if my blood pressure and blood calcium are low this will happen many times a day . Contrary i have a little system 2-3/ day if your blood pressure and blood calcium is normal . i feel very disapointed to my disease, now how long do tetany last?

[RohanSingh-nusd]

@10:15 Sir it also happens to med students when they hold retractors for an hour or two in surgical rotations!😝😝😝

[narasimha]

Sir why both hypercalcemia and hypocalcemia cause muscle spasm? Bcoz even in hyperparathyroidism abdominal groans occur?

[Drnaveengaddam]

What is its relations with hypertension?

[pricillaprice]

Hi just wondering did u see my comment

[sajalgarg]

Thank you very much Sir. I was trying to find its answer since last week and today by God's Grace I found your video


Thank you very much for nice explanation❤️❤️❤️
