- Myelomeningoceles, the most severe form of spina bifida, occur when the meninges and the spinal cord nerves protrude from the opening in the spine. Children with either meningoceles or myelomeningoceles often have nerve damage and disabilities, such as problems with bowel or bladder control, difficulty walking, or paralysis). What causes spina bifida? The exact cause of spina bifida is unknown. Spina bifida is most likely a multifactorial birth defect, meaning that multiple causes (including genetic, nutritional, and/or environmental factors) contribute to the development of spina bifida. Recent studies have shown that adding folic acid (vitamin B 9) to the diets of women of childbearing age

About Myoclonus : Involuntary Muscle Contractions Myoclonus may develop in response to infection, head or spinal cord injury, stroke, brain tumors, kidney or liver failure, lipid storage disease, chemical or drug poisoning, or other disorders. Prolonged oxygen deprivation to the brain, called hypoxia, may result in posthypoxic myoclonus.

- In singing it can occur spontaneously through a tremor in the diaphragm or larynx. The vibrato of the string instrument and wind instrument is an imitation of that vocal function. In the organ, the vibrato is imitated by a small fluctuation of wind pressure, also known as a Tremolo or Tremulant.his may be accomplished either through stomach vibrato, the pulsing of the diaphragm slightly up and down, or throat vibrato, a variation of vocal chord tension to manipulate air pressure as singers do. Players of other instruments may employ less common techniques.

Transcranial direct-current stimulation When negative stimulation (cathodal tDCS) is delivered, the current causes a hyperpolarization of the resting membrane potential. This decreases neuron excitability due to the decreased spontaneous cell firing. Neuroplasticity refers to the ability of the brain to change throughout life based on experiences.

The disease: enzootic pneumonia caused by Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae The disease: enzootic pneumonia caused by Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae. 1  Porcine enzootic pneumonia, caused by Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae, is one of the most prevalent diseases affecting swine production today. 2  The organism that causes enzootic pneumonia, Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae, attaches itself to the epithelial cells lining the upper respiratory tract. The cells colonize there, resulting in the destruction of cilia, the hair-like structures that help remove foreign material from the lungs.
