Myelits Transverse myelitis is a neurological disorder of the spine caused by
inflammation across the spinal cord. It is sometimes associated with the term
myelopathy, which refers to any disorder of the spinal cord. However,
transverse myelitis is a more specific term for inflammation (myelitis) across the
width of the spinal cord (transverse) that results in changed function below this
level while function remains normal above. Symptoms are related to movement
and sensory functions. This disorder occurs in both adults and children, and
typically begins with a rather rapid development of symptoms over the course
of several hours, days, or weeks. Symptoms may include lower back pain,
weakness in the legs and arms, sensory disturbance, spasms leading to gradual
paralysis, and bowel or bladder disfunction.
Myopia Sometimes called short-sightedness or near-sightedness, is a refractive defect
of the eye in which collimated light produces image focus in front of the retina
when accommodation is relaxed.
Those with myopia typically can see nearby objects clearly but distant objects
appear blurred. The opposite defect of myopia is hyperopia or "far-sightedness"
or "long-sightedness" — this is where the cornea is too flat or the eye is too
short.
