English to Romanian: Multiple sclerosis signs and symptoms General field: Medical Detailed field: Medical (general)
Source text - English A person with MS can have almost any neurological symptom or sign, with autonomic, visual, motor, and sensory problems being the most common.
The specific symptoms are determined by the locations of the lesions within the nervous system, and may include loss of sensitivity or changes in sensation such as tingling, pins and needles or numbness, muscle weakness, blurred vision, very pronounced reflexes, muscle spasms, or difficulty in moving; difficulties with coordination and balance (ataxia); problems with speech or swallowing, visual problems (nystagmus, optic neuritis or double vision), feeling tired, acute or chronic pain, and bladder and bowel difficulties, among others.
Difficulties thinking and emotional problems such as depression or unstable mood are also common.
Uhthoff's phenomenon, a worsening of symptoms due to exposure to higher than usual temperatures, and Lhermitte's sign, an electrical sensation that runs down the back when bending the neck, are particularly characteristic of MS. The main measure of disability and severity is the expanded disability status scale (EDSS), with other measures such as the multiple sclerosis functional composite being increasingly used in research.
The condition begins in 85% of cases as a clinically isolated syndrome (CIS) over a number of days with 45% having motor or sensory problems, 20% having optic neuritis, and 10% having symptoms related to brainstem dysfunction, while the remaining 25% have more than one of the previous difficulties.
The course of symptoms occurs in two main patterns initially: either as episodes of sudden worsening that last a few days to months (called relapses, exacerbations, bouts, attacks, or flare-ups) followed by improvement (85% of cases) or as a gradual worsening over time without periods of recovery (10-15% of cases).
A combination of these two patterns may also occur or people may start in a relapsing and remitting course that then becomes progressive later on.
Relapses are usually not predictable, occurring without warning.
Exacerbations rarely occur more frequently than twice per year.
Some relapses, however, are preceded by common triggers and they occur more frequently during spring and summer.
Similarly, viral infections such as the common cold, influenza, or gastroenteritis increase their risk.
Stress may also trigger an attack.
Women with MS who become pregnant experience fewer relapses; however, during the first months after delivery the risk increases.
Overall, pregnancy does not seem to influence long-term disability.
Many events have been found not to affect relapse rates including vaccination, breast feeding, physical trauma, and Uhthoff's phenomenon.
Translation - Romanian O persoană cu SM poate prezenta aproape orice simptom sau semn neurologic, cele mai comune fiind tulburările autonome, vizuale, motorii și senzoriale.
Simptomele specifice sunt determinate de localizarea leziunilor în cadrul sistemului nervos și ele pot include pierderea sensibilității sau modificări ale sensibilității precum furnicături, înțepături, amorțeli; slăbiciune musculară, vedere încețoșată, reflexe osteotendinoase exagerate, spasme musculare sau dificultăți de mișcare; dificultăți de coordonare și echilibru (ataxie); tulburări de vorbire sau de deglutiție, tulburări vizuale (nistagmus, nevrită optică sau vedere dublă), senzație de slăbiciune, durere acută sau cronică precum și tulburări de tranzit și de micțiune.
De asemenea, sunt adesea prezente dificultăți cognitive și tulburări emoționale precum depresia sau dispoziția afectivă variabilă.
Fenomenul lui Uhthoff, o agravare a simptomelor datorate expunerii la temperaturi mai crescute decât cele prezente în mod obișnuit si semnul lui Lhermitte, disestezii de-a lungul spatelui ce apar odată cu flexia gâtului, sunt deosebit de caracteristice SM. Principala măsură a dizabilității și severității bolii este scala extinsă a stării de dizabilitate (EDSS); alte metode de evaluare precum indicatorii funcționali compuși ai sclerozei multiple (Multiple Sclerosis Functional Composite) sunt adesea utilizați în cercetare.
În 85% din cazuri boala debutează ca un sindrom clinic izolat (SCI) de-a lungul a câteva zile, situație în care 45% din pacienți au tulburări motorii sau senzoriale, 20% au nevrită optică și 10% au simptome legate de afectări ale trunchiului cerebral în timp ce restul de 25% au mai mult de una din dificultățile menționate anterior.
Inițial simptomele evoluează în două moduri: fie ca episoade ce se înrăutățesc treptat și durează de la câteva zile la câteva luni (denumite recăderi, exacerbări, crize, atacuri sau accese) urmate de ameliorare (în 85% din cazuri), fie ca o agravare treptată fara perioade de recuperare (în 10-15% din cazuri).
Poate avea loc și o combinație a acestor două modalități de debut sau pacienții pot debuta cu o serie de recăderi și remisiuni ce ulterior se transformă în agravare progresivă.
În general, recăderile nu sunt predictibile, având loc fara avertizări.
Exacerbările au loc rareori mai des de două ori pe an.
Totuși unele recăderi sunt precedate de factori declanșatori frecvenți și au loc mai adesea primăvara și vara.
În mod similar, infecțiile virale cum ar fi răceala comună, gripa sau gastroenterita cresc riscul de exacerbări.
Si stresul ar putea declanșa un atac.
Femeile suferinde de SM ce rămân însărcinate prezintă mai puține exacerbări; totuși, riscul acestora crește în timpul primelor luni dupa naștere.
Per ansamblu, sarcina nu pare să influențeze dizabilitatea pe termen lung.
S-a dovedit ca multe situații precum vaccinarea, alăptatul, traumele fizice si fenomenul Uhthoff nu influențeaza rata exacerbărilor.
