English to Chinese: Pathophysiology of Ataxia General field: Medical Detailed field: Medical (general)
Source text - English Ataxia is characterized by abnormalities in the timing, range, force, speed, and sequencing of muscle contractions and resultant movements. These abnormalities are best demonstrated in electromyographic recordings from muscles in the affected limbs, thereby revealing the underlying basis for the ataxic movements. Normal, rapid single-joint movements are characterized by an initial accelerated movement by contraction of the agonist muscle, decelerated by an appropriately timed contraction of the antagonist muscle, and then finally completed by a second small burst of activity in the agonist (reciprocal contractions). After damage to the lateral cerebellum, dentate nucleus, or its efferent projections, contraction of the agonist is not followed by timely reciprocal contraction of the antagonist muscle, resulting in the delayed slowing of the movement and overshooting the target. In a simple single-joint movement, the inability to control the force of agonist muscle contraction and the timing of reciprocal antagonist contraction can be demonstrated in the upper limb of patients when flexion of the forearm is restrained by the examiner. An unexpected release of the forearm results in patients striking themselves. This is called rebound phenomenon.
English to Chinese: General Visceral Motor Nuclei General field: Medical Detailed field: Medical (general)
Source text - English The general visceral motor nuclei form the cranial outflow of the parasympathetic portion of the autonomic nervous system.They are the Edinger-Westphal nucleus of the oculomotor nerve, the superior salivatory and lacrimal nuclei of the facial nerve, the inferior salivatory nucleus of the glossopharyngeal nerve, and the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus.These nuclei receive numerous afferent fibers, including descending pathways from the hypothalamus.
English to Chinese: Parkinson disease General field: Medical Detailed field: Medical (general)
Source text - English The combination of tremor, rigidity, akinesia, bradykinesia, and abnormal postural adjustments occurs in Parkinson disease, also called paralysis agitans, the best-known basal ganglia disease. The tremor consists of rhythmic movements in the thumbs and fingers at the rate of three to six per second that resemble pill-rolling movements and diminish during voluntary movement. The rigidity is more prominent in the advanced stages of the disease. The akinesia and bradykinesia are so severe that movements are initiated and carried out very slowly; in fact, the patient appears almost paralyzed. The akinesia accompanied by the tremor was the basis of the term “paralysis agitans.” Characteristically, the parkinsonian patient has a masklike facial expression and, when attempting to walk, is stooped over, shuffles the feet, does not swing the arms and, on gaining momentum, is unable to stop and falls if not caught. In advanced stages, handwriting becomes small and speech is reduced to a whisper.
