Choreic syndrome

Choric hyperkinesis syndrome (Jackson-Kinsburg syndrome) is a complex, chronic neuromuscular disease manifested by involuntary movements of various muscle groups of the limbs, face and torso in the form of violent and uncoordinated movements that do not correspond to the tasks of the activity being performed. Depending on the predominant localization of hyperkinesis, the following forms are distinguished: acrodynia, blepharochalia, hemibania, hemipraxia, laryngospasm, oculogyric crises, etc. Neuropsychological research reveals changes only in advanced stages of the disease, when the main brain disorder is represented by a diffuse mnestic-intellectual decline.

Human acquired immunodeficiency syndrome progresses slowly. The disease is not limited to simple damage to the immune system. Over time, most patients become able to work. This phenomenon explains the fact that **HIV infection** is most widespread among people who are promiscuous and use intravenous drugs. Sexual contacts without the use of barrier contraceptives play an important role.

When a carrier of HIV is detected, the patient has favorable opportunities to fight the disease, since under no circumstances can he infect another person. Antiretroviral drugs are used for this. But their capabilities are limited. An independent mechanism for eliminating the virus (producing antibodies to it) never develops; it is produced



Choreic syndrome is a rare group of hereditary neuromuscular diseases (essential dermopathy), accompanied by generalized hyperkinesis. The etiology and pathogenesis have not yet been clarified. The disease manifests itself in childhood and usually occurs in the spring. Hyperkinesis generalized, myotonic, clonic (impulse and ballistic). Two types of clonic hyperkinesis have been identified for chorea: the first is discrete (with light jogging), observed mainly in the muscles of the trunk and limbs when a child moves from a standing position to a sitting position or the body position changes; the second is continuous and is the main one (ballistic, convulsive, paroxysmal), clonic hyperkinesis is characterized by fast and rhythmic,



Choreocratic syndrome is a condition in which the patient cannot control their movements, speech and facial expressions. It manifests itself in the form of chorea, when movements of the arms, legs and the whole body become involuntary. A person cannot stop because, as a rule, he does not know what movement to perform. This syndrome can occur for various reasons: diseases of internal organs, endocrine system, stress, taking certain medications, etc.
