Cross-bridge Cycle01:26

Cross-bridge Cycle

As muscle contracts, the overlap between the thin and thick filaments increases, decreasing the length of the sarcomere—the contractile unit of the muscle—using energy in the form of ATP. At the molecular level, this is a cyclic, multistep process that involves binding and hydrolysis of ATP, and movement of actin by myosin.
Lethal Alleles02:41

Lethal Alleles

Agouti: A Lethal Allele
Lucien Cuénot discovered lethal alleles in 1905 while studying the inheritance of coat color in mice. The agouti gene is responsible for the color of the coat in mice. This gene codes for an agouti-signaling protein, which is responsible for melanin distribution in mammals. The wild-type allele gives rise to gray-brown coat color in mice, while the mutant allele gives rise to yellow coat color. In addition to coat color, the agouti gene is associated with the yellow...
Sex Linked Disorders01:43

Sex Linked Disorders

Like autosomes, sex chromosomes contain a variety of genes necessary for normal body function. When a mutation in one of these genes results in biological deficits, the disorder is considered sex-linked.
Esophageal Achalasia01:27

Esophageal Achalasia

Esophageal achalasia is a chronic neurogenic disorder characterized by impaired relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) and absent or ineffective peristalsis in the distal esophagus. This leads to a functional obstruction without a physical blockage, despite significant disruption of esophageal motility.EtiologyAchalasia is caused by degeneration of the myenteric (Auerbach's) plexus, specifically the loss of inhibitory ganglion cells that produce vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP)...
Notch Signaling Pathway03:14

Notch Signaling Pathway

The Notch signaling pathway is a major intracellular signaling pathway that is highly conserved over a broad spectrum of metazoan species. It stands unique from other intracellular signaling mechanisms in animals because notch protein itself acts as the receptor as well as the primary signaling molecule.
The Notch gene came into the limelight in 1914 after the discovery that its mutation in Drosophila melanogaster leads to a serrated (or "notched") wing margin phenotype. It was not until 1985...
Acute Coronary Syndrome II: Pathophysiology and Clinical Manifestations01:19

Acute Coronary Syndrome II: Pathophysiology and Clinical Manifestations

The pathophysiology of Acute Coronary Syndrome [ACD] involves several key processes:The main underlying cause of ACD is atherosclerosis, a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the buildup of lipid-laden plaques within the coronary arteries.As the atherosclerotic plaque grows in the coronary artery, it may become unstable due to the formation of a lipid-rich core and a thin fibrous cap. Inflammatory cells within the plaque, such as macrophages, secrete enzymes that degrade the...

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Critical Care Medicine

Background:

  • Lance-Adams syndrome (LAS) is a rare neurological complication following successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
  • It is characterized by action myoclonus developing days to weeks after a cardiorespiratory arrest and regaining consciousness.
  • Fewer than 150 cases of LAS have been documented globally.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a case of Lance-Adams syndrome in a young adult with hypoxic brain damage.
  • To highlight the diagnostic process and management considerations for LAS.
  • To emphasize the importance of early diagnosis and rehabilitation for functional recovery.

Main Methods:

  • Case report of a 32-year-old male with hypoxic brain damage from attempted suicide by hanging.
  • Diagnosis based on clinical presentation of myoclonus, history of hypoxic event, and neuroimaging (brain SPECT).

Main Results:

  • The patient presented with action myoclonus secondary to hypoxic brain injury.
  • Diagnostic workup, including brain SPECT, supported the diagnosis of Lance-Adams syndrome.
  • The case underscores the link between hypoxic brain damage and subsequent myoclonus.

Conclusions:

  • Lance-Adams syndrome should be considered in patients with posthypoxic myoclonus after successful resuscitation.
  • Prompt diagnosis and initiation of a rehabilitation program are vital for optimizing functional outcomes in LAS patients.
