Nuclear Overhauser Enhancement (NOE)01:06

Nuclear Overhauser Enhancement (NOE)

1.5K
Irradiation of a spin-active nucleus causes an increase or decrease in the signal intensity of neighboring nuclei that are not necessarily chemically bonded or involved in J-coupling. This phenomenon, called the nuclear Overhauser enhancement (NOE), results from through-space interactions between the nuclear spins. The NOE effect decreases with increasing internuclear distance and is generally not observed beyond 4 angstroms. In NOE, dipole-dipole interactions between neighboring spin-active...

Nonstandard Reaction Conditions
The interconnection between standard cell potentials and various thermodynamic parameters such as the standard free energy change ΔG° and equilibrium constant K has been previously explored. For example, a redox reaction involving zinc(II) and tin(II) ions at 1 M concentration with Eºcell = +0.291 V and ΔG° = −56.2 kJ is spontaneous.

There are two ways to determine the amount of heat involved in a chemical change: measure it experimentally, or calculate it from other experimentally determined enthalpy changes. Some reactions are difficult, if not impossible, to investigate and make accurate measurements for experimentally. And even when a reaction is not hard to perform or measure, it is convenient to be able to determine the heat involved in a reaction without having to perform an experiment.

In an atom, the negatively charged electrons are attracted to the positively charged nucleus. In a multielectron atom, electron-electron repulsions are also observed. The attractive and repulsive forces are dependent on the distance between the particles, as well as the sign and magnitude of the charges on the individual particles. When the charges on the particles are opposite, they attract each other. If both particles have the same charge, they repel each other.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Neuroscience
  • Clinical Medicine

Background:

  • The 'Useless Hand' syndrome, first described by Hermann Oppenheim in 1911, is a rare but classical manifestation of multiple sclerosis (MS).
  • It is characterized by a significant loss of hand function primarily due to proprioceptive deficits, with motor and light touch perception often relatively preserved.
  • The underlying pathology is typically a demyelinating plaque located in the posterior columns of the cervical spinal cord.

Observation:

  • This article presents a clinical case illustrating the 'Useless Hand' syndrome.
  • It details the characteristic sensory and motor deficits observed in affected individuals.
  • Diagnostic challenges and examination techniques for identifying this specific MS presentation are discussed.

Findings:

  • The 'Useless Hand' results from demyelination in the cervical spinal cord's posterior columns, disrupting proprioception.
  • Lesion location dictates whether symptoms affect one limb or become bilateral.
  • Preserved motor strength alongside profound proprioceptive loss is a key diagnostic feature.

Implications:

  • Accurate recognition of the 'Useless Hand' syndrome can lead to earlier diagnosis and management of multiple sclerosis.
  • Understanding the pathophysiology aids in differentiating MS from other neurological disorders with similar symptoms.
  • This review provides valuable insights for clinicians in diagnosing and managing this uncommon but significant neurological condition.
