Record 2 2017-05-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • Visual Disorders
DEF

[A type of] reflex that occurs when a beam of light strikes the retina, causing the pupil to contract.

OBS

The reaction of the pupil on the side stimulated is called the direct light reflex and the constriction of the other pupil is the consensual light reflex. The same effect results with accommodation to near objects.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Troubles de la vision
DEF

Contraction de la pupille provoquée par la projection, sur l'œil, d'un faisceau lumineux (réflexe à la lumière ou réflexe photomoteur) ou par la vision d'un objet rapproché (réflexe à l'accommodation).

OBS

L'éclairage d'un œil provoque un myosis homolatéral (réflexe direct) et hétérolatéral (réflexe consensuel).

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)

  • Ojo
Entrada(s) universal(es)
CONT

El nervio abducente está compuesto sólo de fibras motoras que se originan de un grupo nuclear : el núcleo abducente. [...] El núcleo abducente recibe aferencias : 1) de los hemisferios cerebrales mediante fibras corticonucleares. 2) de los colículos superiores mediante fibras tectobulbares, las cuales llevan información de la corteza visual. 3) fibras del fascículo longitudinal medial, el cual interconecta el núcleo abducente con los núcleos del III, IV y núcleos vestibulares. Esta comunicación internuclear se relaciona con la coordinación de los movimientos oculares.

Record 4 2014-04-11

English

Subject field(s)
  • The Heart
CONT

In 1930, Wolff, Parkinson and White described a series of young patients who had a bundle branch block pattern on electrocardiography (ECG), a short PR [preexcitation] interval, and paroxysms of tachycardia. ... the term Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome was coined in 1940. In 1943, the existence of an accessory connection between atria and ventricles was confirmed, which is about 50 years after Kent's description of myocardial fibers that were believed to conduct from atria to ventricle. The term preexcitation ... indicates an additional excitatory spread in the ventricles of the heart, coupled to auricular excitation. WPW syndrome is not the only form of preexcitation, but it is the most common.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Cœur
CONT

On assiste [...] dans le syndrome de Wolff-Parkinson et White à une transmission anormale et très rapide de l'influx électrique des oreillettes vers les ventricules.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Corazón
DEF

Síndrome caracterizado por ataques frecuentes de taquicardia paroxística acompañados por modificaciones electrocardiográficas particulares [...]

OBS

El término síndrome de Wolff-Parkinson-White es adecuado especialmente cuando una taquicardia paroxística recurrente se acompaña de anomalía electrocardiográfica.

OBS

[...] se observa en personas jóvenes. El trazado electrocardiográfico es semejante al del bloqueo de rama pero con el intervalo P-Q más breve que el normal y el Q-R-S alargado a expensas de su rama ascendente, por lo cual el intervalo P-S resulta normal.
