Opisthotonus can be produced experimentally in animals by transection of the midbrain ( between the superior colliculus and the inferior colliculus ), which results in severing all the corticoreticular fibers.

Opisthotonus can sometimes be seen in lithium intoxication.

Opisthotonus in the neonate may be a symptom of meningitis, tetanus, severe kernicterus, or the rare Maple Syrup Urine Disease.

Opisthotonus ( Tetanus ) by Charles Bell ( 1809 )

Opisthotonus or opisthotonos, from Greek roots, opistho meaning " behind " and tonos meaning " tension ", is a state of a severe hyperextension and spasticity in which an individual's head, neck and spinal column enter into a complete " bridging " or " arching " position.

Opisthotonus is more pronounced in infants.

Opisthotonus with the presence of the risus sardonicus is also a symptom of strychnine poisoning.

Opisthotonus is also described as a potential CNS symptom of heat stroke along with bizarre behavior, hallucinations, decerebrate rigidity, oculogyric crisis and cerebellar dysfunction.

`` That is, if we can be sure this is Colcord's money '' --

It'll probably be at least an hour or two before I can check back with you.

Even as I said it I realized that an education can be invaluable.

Within their confines, moreover, technological and industrial growth has proceeded at an accelerated pace, thus increasing the cornucopia from which material wants can be satisfied.

And no messages can be transmitted on these circuits until senders and receivers authenticate in advance, by special codes, that the messages actually come from their purported sources.

Additional codes can be used to challenge and counterchallenge the authentications.

Nobody can be absolutely certain of the answers.

All can be connected with the gold circuit from their homes.

The box is internally wired so the door can never be opened without setting off a screeching klaxon ( `` It's real obnoxious '' ).

Unless all gadgets are properly operated -- and the wires and seals from the handles removed first -- no damage can be done.

I do not know if such a way of life can come to be a self-conscious challenge, but I suspect that it can.

As his disciples boast, even though his emphasis is elsewhere, Faulkner does show his awareness of the changing order of the South quite keenly, as can be proven by a quick recalling of his Sartoris and Snopes families.

An order can be chanced rather than chosen, and this approach produces an experience that is `` free and discovered rather than bound and remembered ''.

And any sequence can not only change its positions in the work but can even be eliminated from it altogether.

When it comes to this, I shall prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretence of loving liberty -- to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, without the base alloy of hypocrisy '' ( His emphasis )

Something of this can be learned from `` The Way To The Churchyard '' ( 1901 ), an anecdote about an old failure whose fit of anger at a passing cyclist causes him to die of a stroke or seizure.

Similarly experience itself can be conventionalized so that people react to certain preconceived clues for behavior without awareness of the vitality of their experiential field.

When words can be used in a more fresh and primitive way so that they strike with the force of sights and sounds, when tones of sound and colors of paint and the carven shape all strike the sensibilities with an undeniable force of data in and of themselves, compelling the observer into an attitude of attention, all this imitates the way experience itself in its deepest character strikes upon the door of consciousness and clamors for entrance.

it can be changed ; ;

You've already sent your daughter to Miss X's select academy for girls and your son to Mr. Y's select academy for boys, and you can be as liberal as you please with strict impunity.

In scope and power it can only be compared to Tolstoy's War And Peace.

However, for convenience we will stick to the idea that information can be classified according to Table 1.

Since the hazards of poor communication are so great, p can be justified as a habitable site only on the basis of unusual productivity such as is made available by a waterfall for milling purposes, a mine, or a sugar maple camp.

Similar effects can be induced reflexly via the baroreceptor reflexes in man and animals.

Ataxia can be induced as a result of severe acute radiation poisoning with an absorbed dose of more than 30 Grays.

While a spontaneous or induced genetic mutation in bacteria may confer resistance to antimicrobial drugs, genes that confer resistance can be transferred between bacteria in a horizontal fashion by conjugation, transduction, or transformation.

This lean is induced by a method known as countersteering, which can be performed by the rider turning the handlebars directly with the hands or indirectly by leaning the bicycle.

Osteoblasts can also be induced to secrete a number of cytokines that promote reabsorbtion of bone by stimulating osteoclast activity and differentiation from progenitor cells.

Their reliability as indicators of consciousness is disputed, however, due to numerous studies showing that alert human subjects can be induced to behave purposefully in a variety of ways in spite of reporting a complete lack of awareness.

For example, the Diels-Alder reactions can be assisted by heat whereas the cycloaddition is selectively induced by light.

Instead, with the topology of compact convergence, C ( a, b ) can be given the structure of a Fréchet space: a locally convex topological vector space whose topology can be induced by a complete translation-invariant metric.

These were located front to back inside the trigger guard, the index finger being used to pull either trigger, as having two fingers inside the trigger guard can cause a recoil induced double-discharge.

Alcohol intoxication ( also known as drunkenness or inebriation ) refers to the physiological state induced by the consumption of alcohol, when it builds up in the bloodstream faster than it can be metabolized by the liver.

Lesions can occur naturally through trauma or disease, or they can be surgically induced by researchers.

< tr >< td > Immunity to smallpox can be induced much more safely than by variolation.

Instead the differentiation process is studied using E. invadens, a reptilian parasite that causes a very simiilar disease to E. histolytica and which can be induced to encyst in vitro.

Emulsions can also undergo creaming, where one of the substances migrates to the top ( or the bottom, depending on the relative densities of the two phases ) of the emulsion under the influence of buoyancy, or under the influence of the centripetal force induced when a centrifuge is used.

The state of battle trance, which can be induced by rhythmic drumming, singing, dancing, body painting, and the use of certain substances, allowed them to lose their individuality, obtain collective identity, and to fight together as a unit without feeling fear and pain, neglecting their personal safety for the evolutionarily more important reason.

It would be difficult to find an area of scientific interest more beset by divided professional opinion and contradictory experimental evidence … No one can say whether hypnosis is a qualitatively unique state with some physiological and conditioned response components or only a form of suggestion induced by high motivation and a positive relationship between hypnotist and subject … T. X.

Braid can be taken to imply, in later writings, that hypnosis is largely a state of heightened suggestibility induced by expectation and focused attention.

Historically known as a ' patsy ,' an insider can be induced, willingly or under duress to provide information.

The poem's use of original names and disorganised use of action can also be attributed to an opium induced state of mind.

These errors can also be induced by the organism itself, by cellular processes such as hypermutation.

Incorrect repair of other damages induced by the highly reactive species can also lead to mutations.

They can also be induced by the organism itself, by cellular processes such as hypermutation.

Experimenters can create such nuclei using artificially induced fusion or nucleon transfer reactions, employing ion beams from an accelerator.
