5 Disease detection with machine learning. terms terms
This glossary contains terms used in disease detection based on machine learning.
Bradykinesia
noun
Bradykinesia or slowness of movement is one of the major symptoms of PD. It results from a failure of basal ganglia output to reinforce the cortical mechanisms that develop and execute the motor system commands which results in motion.
Example: Bradykinesia or slowness of movement is one of the major
symptoms of PD. It results from a failure of basal ganglia
output to reinforce the cortical mechanisms that develop and
execute the motor system commands which results in motion.
ru: Брадикинезия
neurodegenerative
adj
resulting in or characterized by degeneration of the nervous system, especially the neurons in the brain.
Example: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a long-termed, neurological
disorder that causes a person to lose control over several body
functions including speech. It is the second most common
neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer’s disease.
ru: нейродегенеративный
postural
adj
Postural means relating to the way a person stands or sits.
Example: The primary symptoms of PD were the motor dysfunctions,
which involved tremors of limbs, hand, legs, and jaws,
bradykinesia or slowness of movement, rigidity in limbs
which is observable in the PD affected patient’s gait and
postural instability.
ru: постуральный
striatum
noun
The striatum refers to a small group of contiguous subcortical structures: the caudate, putamen, and nucleus accumbens.
Example: The reduced dopaminergic substances to the
striatum may result in increased neuronal firing which serves
as a hindrance to the basal ganglia output. Due to this
deficiency, the person starts to experience abnormal
movement activities, which results in difficulty with self-paced motions.
ru: полосатое тело
ubiquitous
adj
present, appearing, or found everywhere.
Example: In the 21st century, PD is a ubiquitous issue.
