Gait disturbance- MedGen UID:
- 107895
- •Concept ID:
- C0575081
- •
- Finding
The term gait disturbance can refer to any disruption of the ability to walk. In general, this can refer to neurological diseases but also fractures or other sources of pain that is triggered upon walking. However, in the current context gait disturbance refers to difficulty walking on the basis of a neurological or muscular disease.
Fatigable weakness- MedGen UID:
- 451076
- •Concept ID:
- C0947912
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
A type of weakness that occurs after a muscle group is used and lessens if the muscle group has some rest. That is, there is diminution of strength with repetitive muscle actions.
Periodic paralysis- MedGen UID:
- 488958
- •Concept ID:
- C1279412
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
Episodes of muscle weakness.
Easy fatigability- MedGen UID:
- 373253
- •Concept ID:
- C1837098
- •
- Finding
Increased susceptibility to fatigue.
Motor delay- MedGen UID:
- 381392
- •Concept ID:
- C1854301
- •
- Finding
A type of Developmental delay characterized by a delay in acquiring motor skills.
Hyperlordosis- MedGen UID:
- 9805
- •Concept ID:
- C0024003
- •
- Finding
Abnormally increased curvature (anterior concavity) of the lumbar or cervical spine.
EMG: decremental response of compound muscle action potential to repetitive nerve stimulation- MedGen UID:
- 892749
- •Concept ID:
- C4021728
- •
- Finding
A compound muscle action potential (CMAP) is a type of electromyography (EMG). CMAP refers to a group of almost simultaneous action potentials from several muscle fibers in the same area evoked by stimulation of the supplying motor nerve and are recorded as one multipeaked summated action potential. This abnormality refers to a greater than normal decrease in the amplitude during the course of the investigation.
Apnea- MedGen UID:
- 2009
- •Concept ID:
- C0003578
- •
- Sign or Symptom
Lack of breathing with no movement of the respiratory muscles and no exchange of air in the lungs. This term refers to a disposition to have recurrent episodes of apnea rather than to a single event.
Anti-acetylcholine receptor antibody positivity- MedGen UID:
- 868186
- •Concept ID:
- C4022578
- •
- Finding
The presence of autoantibodies (immunoglobulins) in the blood circulation that react against ganglioside-monosialic acid (GM1), which is a type of glycosphingolipid with one sialic acid. GM1 is located on the outer layer of the plasma membrane, and plays a vital role in neurogenesis, nerve development, differentiation and repair after injury.
High palate- MedGen UID:
- 66814
- •Concept ID:
- C0240635
- •
- Congenital Abnormality
Height of the palate more than 2 SD above the mean (objective) or palatal height at the level of the first permanent molar more than twice the height of the teeth (subjective).
Ptosis- MedGen UID:
- 2287
- •Concept ID:
- C0005745
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
The upper eyelid margin is positioned 3 mm or more lower than usual and covers the superior portion of the iris (objective); or, the upper lid margin obscures at least part of the pupil (subjective).
External ophthalmoplegia- MedGen UID:
- 57662
- •Concept ID:
- C0162292
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
Paralysis of the external ocular muscles.
Bilateral ptosis- MedGen UID:
- 356120
- •Concept ID:
- C1865916
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
- Abnormality of head or neck
- Abnormality of the eye
- Abnormality of the immune system
- Abnormality of the musculoskeletal system
- Abnormality of the nervous system
- Abnormality of the respiratory system
