Medullary Infarction

Introduction: The medulla oblongata is the lowest segment of the brain stem, located adjacent to the spinal cord, with a complex anatomical structure. Thus, a small injury to the medulla oblongata can show complex clinical manifestations. Case Presentation: A patient experienced dysesthesia, which manifested as numbness in her right lower limb and decreased temperature sense, and dizziness 20 days before admission. The numbness worsened 1 week before admission, reaching the right thoracic (T) 12 dermatomes. Her thermoception below the T12 dermatomes decreased, and the degree of dizziness increased, accompanied by nausea and vomiting. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the neck, chest, and abdomen performed at a local hospital showed no abnormalities. MRI of the brain was performed after admission. One week after admission, she experienced a severe headache in the upper left periorbital area. The numbness extended to T4, and thermoception decreased below T4. Diagnosis: Lateral medullary infarction. Interventions: Anti-platelet aggregation and mitochondrial nutritional therapies were performed along with treatments for improving circulation and establishing collateral circulation. Outcomes: The intensity of limb numbness decreased, and the symptoms of headache and dizziness resolved. Conclusion: Lesions leading to segmental sensory disorders can occur in the medulla oblongata. Ipsilateral headaches with contralateral segmental paresthesia can be a specific sign of lateral medullary infarction.

Control Apparatus

A device is described to maintain restricted areas of skin at any temperature between 5 and 45 degrees C. Changes in temperature of controlled intensity up to 10 degrees C at rates from 0.03 degrees C to 2 degrees C/s can be delivered in either the warm or cool directions. The stimulator, which is in contact with the skin, is sufficiently simple so that a number of them can be constructed, each with a different contact area up to 18.2 cm2. The current control apparatus that operates a Peltier device in the stimulator is a feedback control system that maintains a precisely controlled temperature at the stimulator-skin interface. Safety features make it suitable and safe for use in human psychophysical studies and subhuman behavioral measurements of temperature sensitivity. Electrostatic shielding makes it compatible with the electronic instruments used in electrophysiological studies of the temperature sense.

Thermal Stimuli

We propose a thermal display that presents a rapid temperature change using spatially divided hot and cold stimuli. The display exploits two characteristics of human thermal perception: spatial summation and the adapting temperature. Experimental results confirmed that users perceived separate individual thermal stimuli as a single stimulus because of spatial summation. Our thermal display successfully made the skin simultaneously more sensitive to both hot and cold stimuli by using spatially divided hot and cold stimuli, each of which separately adjusts the adapting temperature so that it enables users to perceive thermal sensation rapidly. The thermal display that we fabricated enabled users to perceive a different temperature sense by changing the temperature of hot and cold stimuli.
