1ero, entendamos los reflejos.
Evolutivamente ha sido necesario que existan respuestas motoras no mediadas por el cerebro, es decir, integradas en la médula espinal. Muchas respuestas de retiro (que permiten la supervivencia) solo requieren unas cuantas neuronas.
Definamos REFLEJO como una:
📋Respuesta motora.
📋Involuntaria.
📋Estereotípica (es decir, siempre igual).
📋Generada por estímulo de receptores.
En simple: Un reflejo obedece una ley de eficiencia evolutiva, solo usa la mínima cantidad de neuronas necesarias.

What is the role of Hepcidin in anemia of CKD?
3/ Chronic inflammation + decreased clearance - ↑ hepcidin in CKD pts
Iron absorption starts → apical membrane of the GI tract. Released into the blood via the basolateral membrane through ferroportin

Hepcidin promotes degradation of Ferroportin ↓ the release of iron → blood

Functional Gait disorders ("FGD" for the purpose of this #twittorial) are common and disabling, usually accompanied by other symptoms. FGD are challenging for the non #MovDis physician and it can difficult to determine #inconsistencies and #incongruencies during examination.
2/
A good approach is to identify #clinicalSigns to differentiate a #functional vs #organic cause

#Inconsistency is the variability in gait disorder severity over time.
#incongruency involves a combination of symptoms and sins not seen in organic disorders.
