Polyneuropathy Polyneuropathy or symmetrical polyneuropathy (poly- + neuro- + -pathy) is damage or disease affecting peripheral nerves (peripheral neuropathy) in roughly the same areas on both sides of the body, featuring weakness, numbness, pins-and-needles, and burning pain. Myelinopathy, or demyelinating polyneuropathy, is due to a loss of myelin (or of the Schwann cells that make and contain it). 2  This demyelination slows down or completely blocks the conduction of action potentials through the axon of the nerve cell.

Bio/ Mr Clark Ch 5 The dark reactions of photosynthesis. 1) require ATP and NADPH 2) are light-independent 3) generate sugars.   . The relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration is often described as cyclic because the products of one process are used as the reactants for the other. Photosynthesis produces carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and water, incorporating light energy into the bonds of the carbohydrates. Cellular respiration, on the other hand, releases energy from the bonds of carbohydrates, producing carbon dioxide and water.   .

Drug-Induced Movement Disorders: A Primer Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome - Background. 1  Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) is a rare, but life-threatening, idiosyncratic reaction to neuroleptic medications that is characterized by fever, muscular rigidity, altered mental status, and autonomic dysfunction. The syndrome was first described by Delay and colleagues in 1960, in patients treated with high-potency antipsychotics.

Alone we are rare. Together we are strong.â¥ Donate Today General Discussion. Summary. Congenital melanocytic nevi (CMN) are visible pigmented (melanocytic) proliferations in the skin that are present at birth. CMN are benign, tumor-like malformations resulting from faulty development of pigment cell (melanocyte) precursors in the embryo, and composed of an abnormal mixture of skin elements.

Dermatomyositis Dermatomyositis is one of a group of muscle diseases known as the inflammatory myopathies, which are characterized by chronic muscle inflammation accompanied by muscle weakness.ermatomyositis’ cardinal symptom is a skin rash that precedes, accompanies, or follows progressive muscle weakness. The rash looks patchy, with purple or red discolorations, and characteristically develops on the eyelids and on muscles used to extend or straighten joints, including knuckles, elbows, knees, and toes.

- MGUS (monoclonal gammopathy of unknown significance) is a condition where the body makes an abnormal protein, called a paraprotein. These paraproteins are found in the blood and urine when they’re tested. MGUS is linked to the immune system. The immune system helps the body fight infection and disease.

- A neuromuscular junction (sometimes called a myoneural junction) is a junction between nerve and muscle; it is a chemical synapse formed by the contact between the presynaptic terminal of a motor neuron and the postsynaptic membrane of a muscle fiber.he binding of ACh to the receptor can depolarize the muscle fiber, causing a cascade that eventually results in muscle contraction. Neuromuscular junction diseases can be of genetic and autoimmune origin.
