Foreign Accent Syndrome

After apparently recovering from the injury, she was left with what sounded like a strong German accent and was shunned by her fellow Norwegians. [25] [26] Society and culture [ edit ] Cases of foreign accent syndrome often receive significant media coverage, and cases have been reported in the popular media as resulting from various causes including stroke, [27] [28] [29] [30] [31] [32] allergic reaction, [33] physical injury, [32] [31] [34] [35] and migraine.

Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction
Wikipedia
Published studies have used at least a 75 percent change in relief of pain before a response is considered positive and the sacroiliac joint deemed the source of pain. [24] [25] [26] However, several other injection studies have compared intra-articular with extra-articular injection, and indicate that the ligament injection behind the joint is oftentimes superior to injection in the joint and seems to be a very underutilized diagnostic tool. [23] [27] Misdiagnosis [ edit ] In the early 1900s, dysfunction of the sacroiliac joint was a common diagnosis associated with low back and sciatic nerve pain. [17] However, research by Danforth and Wilson in 1925 concluded that the sacroiliac joint could not cause sciatic nerve pain because the joint does not have a canal in which the nerves can be entrapped against the joint. [28] The biomechanical relationship between the sacroiliac joint, the piriformis muscle (see “ piriformis syndrome ”), and the sciatic nerve had not yet been discovered. [17] In 1934, the work of Mixter and Barr shifted all emphasis in research and treatment from the sacroiliac to the herniated intervertebral disc , namely lumbar discs. [29] Medical focus on herniated discs was further forwarded by the invention of the MRI in 1977. [30] Over-diagnosis and attention on herniated discs has led to the SI joint becoming an underappreciated pain generator in an estimated 15% to 25% of patients with axial low back pain. [1] [8] [3] [5] [6] [7] The ligaments in the sacroiliac are among the strongest in the body and are not suspected by many clinicians to be susceptible to spraining or tearing. ...
