Hemiballismus or hemiballism is a basal ganglia syndrome resulting from damage to the subthalamic nucleus in the basal ganglia. [1] It is a rare hyperkinetic movement disorder, [2] that is characterized by pronounced involuntary limb movements [1] [3] on one side of the body [4] and can cause significant disability. [5]
Brachial amyotrophic diplegia, also called Vulpian-Bernhardt Syndrome (VBS), flail arm syndrome, or man-in-barrel syndrome, is a rare motor neuron disease, often considered to be a phenotype or regional variant of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. [1] In the first twelve to eighteen months, only a progressive weakness of one or both arms is ...
The proximal part of left subclavian is blocked (shaded artery). This prevents antegrade ("forward") flow to the left arm and left vertebral. As a result, flow in the left vertebral is retrograde ("backwards") towards the left arm. Flow to the brain and circle of Willis is via antegrade right and left carotid and right vertebral arteries.

Overused and hypertonic triceps muscle causes inflammation in the tendon and adhesions with the connective tissue surrounding that tendon and muscle. These in turn impinge on or trap the ulnar nerve. Ulnar neuropathy resulting from repetitive stress is amenable to massage and can usually be fully reversed without cortisone or surgery. [6]
Furthermore, if trauma causes damage to the myelin sheath, or injures the nerve another way, this will also reduce the ability of nerve impulse flow. [2] Usually, an outside force is acting to suppress the nerve, or cause nerve damage. [2] Most commonly, shoulder dislocation or fractions in the shoulder can cause the palsy. [8]
The major tissues affected are nerves and muscles, where irreversible damage starts to occur after 4–6 hours of cessation of blood supply. [4] Skeletal muscle, the major tissue affected, is still relatively resistant to infarction compared to the heart and brain because its ability to rely on anaerobic metabolism by glycogen stored in the cells may supply the muscle tissue long enough for ...
Millions of older Americans rely on Social Security to stay afloat. And while the average retired worker collects about $1,925 per month, some seniors have to get by on even smaller checks.
Symptoms can range from minor to severe and can be obvious or subtle. The right arm and hand are more likely to be affected than the left. Symptoms include atrophy of the arm or hand, claw hand, constant crying (due to pain), [10] intrinsic minus hand deformity, [11] paralysis of intrinsic hand muscles, and C8/T1 Dermatome distribution numbness.
