Asterixis (AKA Flapping Tremor)

Is that guy dead now?

Thanks for this video

Also in hypercarbia.

Uworld specified Asterixis as myoclonus (Non-rhythmic) (Opposed to Clonus (Rhythmic))

Thank you!

Writing my midterms on Monday, pray for me

How to differentiate from flapping tremor clinically?

Does it work with flexion?

Hi! I'm a hypochondriac and i'm starting to get freaked out because I think I have this but I can't tell if it's happening now due to how many times I have tried it or from the anxiety that this is giving me. If anyone could answer this as soon as possible please do I'm considering going to the hospital

Short & direct thank u 🙏

Thanks!

My whole arm goes in a circle rhythm when i put my hands like that.

Many thanks for this. I would add there are also drug causes of tremor which we always have to consider. For example, beta- 2 agonists, caffeine, theophylline, lithium and tricyclics can all cause tremor as their side effect, so if your patient is on these drugs, it may be the cause. And there are also drugs whose withdrawal causes tremor- the most famous is of course alcohol, but also benzos, opiates and barbiturates can cause tremor if someone is withdrawing from them.

BRILLIANT!!! Thank you so much for your help keep going 🌹🌹💓💓💓

There is no God except Allah, prophet Muhammad is the messenger of Allah ❤️🌸
Jesus (Peace be upon him) never said that he is God, the Quran says:

And [beware the Day] when Allah will say, “O Jesus, Son of Mary, did you say to the people, ‘Take me and my mother as deities besidesAllah ?'” He will say, “Exalted are You! It was not for me to say that to which I have no right. If I had said it, You would have known it. You know what is within myself, and I do not know what is within Yourself. Indeed, it is You who is Knower of the unseen. 117. I said not to them except what You commanded me – to worship Allah , my Lord and your Lord. And I was a witness over them as long as I was among them; but when You took me up, You were the Observer over them, and You are, over all things, Witness. 118. If You should punish them – indeed they are Your servants; but if You forgive them – indeed it is You who is the Exalted in Might, the Wise. (Holy Quran 5:116-118)

Es una sorpresa que la HEPATITIS sea verdaderamente curable, todo gracias al Dr. Iyabiye que ayudó a curar a mi hermano. Mi hermano llegó un día a casa quejándose de dolor en las costillas y cansancio, al día siguiente lo llevé al hospital donde le diagnosticaron hepatitis B crónica, le dieron medicamentos para ralentizar la carga viral, pero luego empeoró con vómitos. Me encontré con el contacto del médico en línea mientras estudiaba sobre la enfermedad, lo contacté y le administró su medicamento a mi hermano y se curó después del tratamiento. Fue a hacerse una prueba y fue negativa. Vine a hablar de eso para salvar a alguien. Contactos del médico: ([email protected])(+ 234-815-857-7300)

Will this be present with resting tremors as well?

Lord Jesus I have learned something new in a matter of minutes...THANKS
