Hi bobbym,

#938. Name the medial term / phrase - Weakness of one or both vocal folds. Symptoms of this include hoarseness; vocal fatigue; mild to severe reduction in vocal volume; pain in the throat when speaking; shortness of breath; aspiration (food or liquids going down the trachea) with frequent resultant coughing, and in extreme cases may cause death. Gargling fluids may also become difficult. It can greatly impact daily life, employment, job choice, social interactions, and leisure time pursuits.

Hi David and bobbym,

Marvelous, David!

#939. Name the medical term / phrase - A pattern of breathing seen in complete (or almost complete) airway obstruction. As the patient attempts to breathe, the diaphragm descends, causing the abdomen to lift and the chest to sink. The reverse happens as the diaphragm relaxes. It is almost always associated with use of the accessory muscles of respiration and drawing in (recession) of the intercostal muscles of the chest wall.

Hi David,

Thanks for the video (#939).

The Answer #940 (medulla oblongata) is corret! Good work, David!

#941. Name the medical term - In the nervous system, it is a structure that permits a neuron (or nerve cell) to pass an electrical or chemical signal to another neuron.

Hi bobbym,

The Answer # 941 (Synapse) is correct! Well done!

#942. Name the medical term - It describes the state of vision where an object at infinity is in sharp focus with the eye lens in a neutral or relaxed state. This condition of the normal eye is achieved when the refractive power of the cornea and the axial length of the eye balance out, which focuses rays exactly on the retina, resulting in perfect vision. An eye in this state requires no correction.
It is a state in which the eye is relaxed and focused on an object more than 6 meters or 20 feet away. The light rays coming from that object are essentially parallel, and the rays are focused on the retina without effort. If the gaze shifts to something closer, light rays from the source are too divergent to be focused without effort. In other words, the eye is automatically focused on things in the distance unless a conscious effort is made to focus elsewhere. For a wild animal or human prehistorical ancestors, this arrangement would be adaptive because it allows for alertness to predators or prey at a distance

Hi bobbym,

Good attempt, bobbym!

#944. Name the medical term / phrase - an autosomal recessive kidney disorder characterized by hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis with hypocalciuria, and hypomagnesemia. It is caused by loss of function mutations of the thiazide sensitive sodium-chloride symporter (also known as NCC, NCCT, or TSC) located in the distal convoluted tubule. It was formerly considered a subset of Bartter syndrome until the distinct genetic and molecular bases of these disorders were identified. Bartter syndrome is also an autosomal recessive hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis, but it derives from a mutation to the NKCC2 found in the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle.

Hi bobbym,

#945. Name the medical term - It is an uncommon pulmonary manifestation of tuberculosis. It represents haematogeneous dissemination of uncontrolled tuberculous infection and carries a relatively poor prognosis. It is seen both in primary and post-primary tuberculosis and may be associated with tuberculous infection in numerous other tissues and organs.

Hi bobbym,

The Answer #945 (Miliary tuberculosis) is correct! Marvelous, bobbym!

#946. Name the medical term - A clinical syndrome characterized by tremor, bradykinesia, rigidity, and postural instability. It shares symptoms found in Parkinson's disease, from which it is named; but it is a symptom complex, and differs from Parkinson disease which is a progressive neurodegenerative illness. The underlying causes of this are numerous, and diagnosis can be complex. The neurodegenerative condition Parkinson's disease (PD) is the most common cause of this. However, a wide range of other etiologies may lead to a similar set of symptoms, including some toxins, a few metabolic diseases, and a handful of neurological conditions other than Parkinson's.

Hi bobbym,

#947. Name the medical term / phrase - A sudden recurrence or intensification of symptoms, such as a spasm or seizure. These short, frequent, and stereotyped symptoms can be observed in various clinical conditions. They are usually associated with multiple sclerosis or pertussis, but they may also be observed in other disorders such as encephalitis, head trauma, stroke, asthma, trigeminal neuralgia, breath-holding spells, epilepsy, malaria, tabes dorsalis, and Behçet's disease (a rare immune-mediated small-vessel systemic vasculitis that often presents with mucous membrane ulceration and ocular problems). It has also been noted as a symptom of gratification disorder in children.

Hi David,

is correct! Stupendous, David!

#948. Name the medical term / phrase - A very rare genetic disease with an incidence of 1 per 350,000 births, with a higher frequency in Ashkenazi Jews and Afrikaners in South Africa. FA is the result of a genetic defect in a cluster of proteins responsible for DNA repair. As a result, the majority of FA patients develop cancer, most often acute myelogenous leukemia, and 90% develop bone marrow failure (the inability to produce blood cells) by age 40. About 60–75% of FA patients have congenital defects, commonly short stature, abnormalities of the skin, arms, head, eyes, kidneys, and ears, and developmental disabilities. Around 75% of FA patients have some form of endocrine problem, with varying degrees of severity. Median age of death was 30 years in 2000. Treatment with androgens and hematopoietic (blood cell) growth factors can help bone marrow failure temporarily, but the long-term treatment is bone marrow transplant if a donor is available.
