Hi bobbym,

#663. Name the medical term / phrase : (Also known as 'Best disease') : A genetic eye disorder that can cause progressive vision loss. This disorder affects the retina, specifically cells in a small area near the center of the retina called the macula. The macula is responsible for sharp central vision, which is needed for detailed tasks such as reading, driving, and recognizing faces. It causes a fatty yellow pigment (lipofuscin) to build up in cells underlying the macula. Over time, the abnormal accumulation of this substance can damage cells that are critical for clear central vision. As a result, people with this disorder often lose their central vision and may experience blurry or distorted vision.

#664. Name the medical term / phrase : (also known as Willis-Ekbom disease (WED) or Wittmaack-Ekbom syndrome) : A neurological disorder characterized by an irresistible urge to move one's body to stop uncomfortable or odd sensations. It most commonly affects the legs, but can affect the arms, torso, head, and even phantom limbs. Moving the affected body part modulates the sensations, providing temporary relief. RLS sensations range from pain or an aching in the muscles, to "an itch you can't scratch," an unpleasant "tickle that won't stop," or even a "crawling" feeling.

Hi bobbym,

The Answer #667 is correct (Denervation)! Marvelous!

#668. Name the medical term : Low sodium concentration in the blood. Normal serum sodium levels are between approximately 135 and 145 mEq/liter (135 - 145 mmol/L). It is generally defined as a serum sodium level of less than 135 mEq/L and is considered severe when the serum sodium level is below 125 mEq/L. Too little sodium in the diet alone is very rarely the cause of it, although it can promote it indirectly and has been associated with MDMA-induced with it. Sodium loss can lead to a state of low blood volume, which signals the release of anti-diuretic hormone (ADH). ADH release leads to water retention and dilution of the blood resulting in a low sodium concentration.

#672. Name the medical term / phrase : A region in the frontal lobe of the left hemisphere (the dominant hemisphere) of the hominid brain with functions linked to speech production. Language processing has been linked to it since a French physician, surgeon, anatomist, and anthropologist (28 June 1824 – 9 July 1880) reported impairments in two patients. They had lost the ability to speak after injury to the posterior inferior frontal gyrus of the brain. Since then, the approximate region he identified has become known as by this name, and the deficit in language production called expressive aphasia.

Hi bobbym,

#674. Name the medical term : (Also known as ASVD) : A syndrome affecting arterial blood vessels due to a chronic inflammatory response of WBCs in the walls of arteries. This is promoted by low-density lipoproteins (LDL, plasma proteins that carry cholesterol and triglycerides) without adequate removal of fats and cholesterol from the macrophages by functional high-density lipoproteins (HDL). It is commonly referred to as a "hardening" or furring of the arteries.

Classically, it is described as being the result of mitral valve leaftlet displacement and turbulent mixing of antegrade mitral flow and retrograde aortic flow.
