Case Study Discussion-The Nervous System

The patient’s expressive dysphasia affected speech articulation and production. Studies

indicate that patients with this condition can understand communication and what they need to

express but with a limited capacity to express the proper communication. This condition

manifests as trouble using words correctly and incoherent use of language in communication.

The primary reason for dysphasia is the damage to Broca’s area. Broca’s area is the part of the

brain that controls speech articulation and production. Condition like a stroke can target this

region and impair speech production. However, Gajardo-Vidal et al. (2021) explored this issue

among 134 stroke survivors. This research indicates contrary findings that damage to the Broca’s

area has limited effects on the long-term speech deficiencies. This evidence indicates that

multiple factors jointly play a role in articulation and communication. With the patient in the

scenario, the cerebrovascular accident history suggests the effect on long-term speech

production.

Endarterectomy is the surgical procedure indicated when the patient has plagues

obstructing blood flow. Plagues constrict and narrow the arterial walls, which increase pressure

on the flow of blood. These substances can affect blood flow in the carotid artery, compromising

the supply of oxygen and nutrients in the brain cells and potentially damaging the Broca’s area.

Secondly, cholecystectomy is a surgical process that serves as the intervention among patients

with cholelithiasis. This operation helps in removing gallstones in the gallbladder or bile duct

(Lambert 2018). The process is also indicated for gallbladder inflammation. Besides,

hysterectomy is indicated for complicated pelvic pain related to fibroids and endometriosis.

CAD refers to coronary artery disease

CABG is Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting and
