Local Anesthetics: Differential Sensitivity of Nerve Fibers01:24

Local Anesthetics: Differential Sensitivity of Nerve Fibers

895
Local anesthetics (LAs) block the sodium channels of nerve trunks, sensory nerve endings, and neuromuscular junctions. Although LAs can block all kinds of nerves, the sensitivity of nerve fibers differs according to nerve types and structures. LAs are known to block myelinated fibers faster than unmyelinated ones. Also, they block pain or sensory neurons at low concentrations without affecting the motor neurons involved in muscle contractions. This helps relieve labor pain without affecting the...

Disorders of the Skeletal Muscle01:28

Disorders of the Skeletal Muscle

1.0K
The clinical conditions affecting the skeletal muscle tissue are broadly categorized as musculoskeletal and neuromuscular disorders.
Musculoskeletal disorders
Musculoskeletal disorders involve injuries and conditions affecting the skeletal muscles and associated connective tissues. These disorders can arise from acute biomechanical stresses or chronic overuse and can occur across different age groups. Common injuries include sprains, fractures, and muscular strains, often resulting from...

Pain01:20

Pain

536
Pain serves as a critical warning signal that alerts the body to potential or actual harm. When mechanical pressure on the skin is intense, such as from a sharp pinch, the sensation transitions from touch to pain. Similarly, extreme temperatures, like a hot pot handle, convert the sensation of heat into pain. Pain can also result from overstimulation of other senses, such as blinding light, loud noise, or the intense heat from habañero peppers. This ability to sense pain is essential for...

Blood and Nerve Supply to the Bones01:29

Blood and Nerve Supply to the Bones

11.4K
Bones are dynamic organs that require a rich supply of oxygen and nutrients. Around 5% to 10% of the cardiac output supplies blood to the bones. A typical long bone has three main sources: the nutrient artery, the metaphyseal and epiphyseal arteries, and the periosteal arteries.
Nutrient Artery
The nutrient artery is the main blood vessel that enters the diaphysis via the nutrient foramen. While most long bones have only one nutrient foramen, large bones, such as the femur, may have two. This...

Angina I: Introduction01:30

Angina I: Introduction

18
Definition and Symptoms: Angina (angina pectoris) is chest pain or discomfort caused by myocardial ischemia, which occurs when the heart muscle receives insufficient oxygen-rich blood. It typically manifests as pressing, squeezing, or crushing sensations in the chest and may radiate to the shoulders, arms, neck, jaw, or back.Primary Cause: In a healthy state, the coronary arteries can dilate (widen) to increase blood flow and meet the increased oxygen demand during physical activity or...

Peripheral Arterial Disease II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Evaluation

21
Clinical manifestationsPeripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) manifests through a range of symptoms, from the characteristic intermittent claudication to atypical presentations and severe complications in advanced stages. Intermittent claudication, a hallmark symptom of PAD, presents as exercise-induced muscle pain that typically resolves within minutes of rest. This pain is reproducible and stems from inadequate blood flow, leading to the accumulation of lactic acid produced during anaerobic...

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Neuroscience
  • Clinical Medicine

Context:

  • Allesthesia is a rare sensory symptom where stimulation on one side of the body is perceived contralaterally.
  • Historically associated with spinal cord lesions and later with right parietal lobe dysfunction.
  • Understudied due to pathological evaluation challenges, making it a largely forgotten neurological symptom.

Purpose:

  • To re-examine the clinical characteristics of allesthesia.
  • To investigate the underlying mechanisms of pathogenesis for allesthesia.
  • To identify responsible lesions in patients presenting with allesthesia.

Summary:

  • This study details the identification of allesthesia in patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage and spinal cord lesions.
  • It analyzes the clinical manifestations and proposes a pathogenic mechanism for this contralateral sensory perception.
  • The research aims to revive interest and understanding of this rare neurological phenomenon.

Impact:

  • Provides updated insights into the definition, clinical signs, and pathogenesis of allesthesia.
  • Highlights the potential for allesthesia in patients with specific neurological lesions, including intracerebral hemorrhage.
  • Contributes to a better understanding of somatosensory processing and neurological deficits.
