Acute selenium poisoning is known colloquially as "blind staggers" because affected animals are blind, wander aimlessly and often in circles, and show head pressing. The appetite may be depraved and abdominal pain is evidenced. The terminal stage is one of paralysis with death due to respiratory failure. Essentially the same picture is produced by the experimental oral dosing of sheep with sodium selenite but dilation of the pupils and cyanosis are also present. 1, record 5, English, - stagger

A test designed to reproduce pain originating in the cervical spine. With the patient sitting, the examiner places one hand across the other on the top of the patient's head with gradually increased downward pressure. If radicular pain or paresthesias with referral to the upper limb occur with the head compression test, it strongly suggests nerve root irritation.

A test which determines if there exists irritation or compression of nerve root, dural root sleeve fibrosis or adhesions, foraminal encroachment, or adjacent joint capsule thickening and adhesions. The examiner stands beside the patient who tilts the head to one side. With one of the examiner's hands on the patient's shoulder and the other hand on the patient's head, the examiner exerts downward pressure on the patient's shoulder and lateral flexion pressure on the patient's head in the opposite direction.

Criteria for Brain Death. The criteria for the determination of brain death were developed such that any physician in any milieu could confidently diagnose it. All criteria must be met before a diagnosis of brain death can be made : The patient must be unconscious. The patient must be unable to breathe spontaneously and would therefore be on a ventilator. There must be no response to external stimuli(verbal, pain). There must be no response(eye movement) to passive head movements or to ice water syringed into the ears. There must be no blinking in response to touching the cornea. There must be no pupil response to a bright light shone into the eyes. The patient must be unable to maintain blood pressure, control fluids and electrolytes or body temperature. 4, record 8, English, - criteria%20for%20brain%20death

La conjugaison de tous les critères est nécessaire pour diagnostiquer la mort cérébrale. Le malade est inconscient. Le malade est incapable de respirer spontanément et ne peut donc respirer qu'à l'aide d'un appareil respiratoire. Absence de réaction aux stimuli externes (parole, douleur). Absence de réaction (mouvements de l'œil) aux mouvements passifs de la tête ou à l'injection d'eau glacée dans les oreilles. Absence de clignement de la paupière lorsqu'on touche à la cornée. Absence de réaction de la pupille lorsqu'un faisceau lumineux intense est pointée sur l'œil.
