Overlooked Holmes’ clinical signs: reevaluation by recent physiological findings

Abstract

Holmes proposed not only the term ataxia, but also opposite clinical signs related to muscle recruitment, which have escaped clinical attention; (1) asthenia, representing delay in initiating muscle contraction and slowness in attaining exertion of full power, and (2) adventitiousness, representing adventitious movements. Recent physiological studies have shown that cerebellar outputs are modified by release or facilitation of Purkinje cell-mediated inhibition on dentate neurons. We believe that asthenia and adventitiousness, which correlate with deficits in the control of disinhibition and inhibition, respectively, deserve more attention in clinical examination.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The delay in cerebellar ataxia patients may be explained by poor recruitment of facilitation in DN due to a decrease in the disinhibition of DNCs (asthenia).

    “The delay may be explained as poor recruitment of facilitation in DN due to a decrease in the disinhibition of DNCs, i.e., asthenia (Ishikawa et al., 2015).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
